HIVE Bedwars is a fun game, where you destroy your other opponent beds, gear up and win the game by eliminating everyone. But now the word ''sweaty'' is being used, which is a highly competitive player, that spends thousands of hours on the game. This makes it unbearable to the average and new coming players, who just wanna have some fun and enjoy themselves. This implies to the HIVE Reddit community, where they have had many complaints about Hive Bedwars, being too competitive even for the average player.

Back when HIVE Bedwars first got released, it was much less competitive and more enjoyable, as the casual player could easily get wins and most importantly have fun. However, overtime the casual players started to significantly improve in their PVP skills and bridging, making it harder to compete and eventually evolving into ''sweatys''. On Reddit a lot of Hive players have being say how Bedwars used to be a fun game. When it first released the games were much slower and lasted longer. Nowadays the Hive sweats have developed the meta of rushing instantly, comboing people off their islands and end games fast, a average game usually doesn't last longer than 5 mins. This has led to many complaints including ''You can't even get armour before getting rushed'' and Every lobby has at least 1-2 tryhard teams''. Additionally, there's a common belief going around, were Bedwars games gradually became sweatier because casuals would leave, while dedicated players would stay.

Now, what is my opinion on this? Well as a player that has been playing the game, arounds its release date, I can definitely say the game has become more sweatier over-time. I remember back in its old days, where many players would walk off the map, miss a one block jump and get blocked dropped, which makes Bedwars more fun and enjoyable to play. Nowadays, the average player can usually predict when you block trap them, which makes the game less enjoyable and a lot more competitive especially during peak hours. Now I have to ''lock in'' to win a game and even then, it's not guaranteed I would win. This makes it less unenjoyable as I just wanna have fun. Furthermore, the HIVE has been updating Bedwars a lot in the past 2 years, adding 4 seasons and more levels to grind which has definitely contributed to the sweat upbringing. Now, I only play Bedwars with my friends as without it becomes it become so competitive that it's almost unbearable to play.

So personally, I think if the HIVE needs to be more inclusive to all players, they need to make a more balanced matchmaking, where players can choose whether they want to play players around their skill-level or play against the sweatier players to challenge themselves and improve, for their bedwars gamemode.
