Thats because when you put two sets of hardcores together one set has to lose.. They hate that, they'd rather smash baby seals daily.
Before i answer to this, i want to say, that im playin this game purely casually, im not involved in comp and never was in this game (though in the past i play/played other games mainly competitively), as in my opinion it has too low skill ceiling to be fun for me "grinding" through mechanics to perfect and optimize known "gamestyle" or try to invent new one by trying what others didnt, to be ahead of rest. This is what every so called by you "hardcore" player does in every game, sometimes becouse there is tournament with good prize and they are pro players, but usually becouse thats what brings them joy, becouse people are diffirent, some want to just join match after work and kill the stress, but some other people wont find pleasure in simply just playing the game, they can find pleasure only in self-development.
For me "just playing" the game is not fun enough even if i play it casually, as i always try to analyze what i did wrong and how i could improve it, trying to perfect my performance, thats exacly what makes game fun to me.
I think this is the mentality that you fail to understand, becouse people that have "competitive" mindest would rather play 1 exciting match, against opponent similar to them or better, than play 20 boring matches with predictable outcome, and it is predictable outcome, becouse they worked on to be above "average" and this is yet another thing, that many fail to realise, none of these players are good, becouse they are somehow gifted, they are good becouse they decided to work to make it happen, so i dont think blaming them for "ruining the fun of the rest of the people" is reasonable.
