Add my vote as another NOT a fan.
Every update that has taken away our ability to choose the maps, battles, players and teams we want to be on has been a bad update. Unfortunately that has been the direction of most of these updates.
Since drugs are mission rewards and in the shop, there is really no point in complaining about them in general, they are as much part of the game as buying a kit or upgrading your equipment. But the overdrive gives an instant advantage to a big pod of tanks where they haven't earned it. Overdrive is a fun gimmick, but it really sucks some of the skill out of it. It should have been a temporary/holiday kind of deal. It's not so cool as a permanent feature.
The update removing our ability to create battles and/or complete missions in battles we created was pretty bad. The disappearance of the variety of maps that used to be available when we could create battles is discouraging. This update though -- where we cannot really even choose the battles we'd like to join -- is the worst yet.
The battles we can in theory create are meaningless -- no mission completions, and no one goes to them. So our ability to create meaningful battles is still gone. But now we cannot even CHOOSE meaningful battles. We can't get missions done in created battles or pro battles, so we're stuck with the random, limited maps, lopsided battles, mismatched players, and haphazard situations provided by the matching system. I'm sure you can work out the glitches, but this update at its core is another big step in the wrong direction.
