Honestly, the gameplay started to go down for the past 2 years.
Nowadays, not only people in red hearts but in comp plays like fucknig retrads and if you disagree with their erroneous preconceived ideas, they lynch you for it. Its annoying as hell and the comp scene took a hit for it. Most players that play comp are from red heart and have their own culture of what is scummy and what isnt. The average red players scumreads based on objectivity and what is 'scum behavior' etc while orange players can be flexible and understand bias, intentions, motivations and so on. It seems like this POV is getting lost.
Nowadays, any average players thinks they can claim any role in any setup. They think they can get away with it when they don't have the charisma nor the skill to towntell and explain their behavior well enough to justify said behavior. Its annoying and very time consuming because we have to read into random players who thinks they are helping town by ccing any role; you now have to rea if that player is either a mefia ccing or a dumbass being a dumbass not knowing how to play the goddam setup.
