Poor state of the game

I'm sure this post will be removed or burried somewhere else but whatever.
I've played this game since the beginning and this has to be the worst time I've ever been having with it.
1. I have 0 confidence in the controls doing what I want them to reliably
2. Game economy doesn't seem balanced at all, you'll go in big swings of not having enough of ressource x or y at any given time, unless it's done so intentionally.
3. I've been forced to change how I play and not rely on parry or dex even though it's an essential part of the game. I just take block damage now in a lot of instances instead of even trying to dex specials
4. AI is having the opposite effect in that it's throwing light intercepts and shallow dashing back like it's Skynet learning from how we play, and knowing we don't have the controls to deal with it
5. AI recovery time is insane, to the point where I won't bother punishing most specials or heavies because I'm fairly confident the AI is expecting it and has the next attack pre-programmed as a guaranteed hit if I try to attack (0 lag between AI commands so no attack window)
6. Any time I'm either using or fighting a champ with flashy animations (Human Torch, Doom, Terrax, Prof X, etc.) I know that the game will severely lag, freeze up, and 50/50 on whether it crashes or not
7. I can't play music on my headphones while playing because the game will completely lock up my iphone audio during fights, leading me to believe it's actually doing damage to my phone OS. Maybe it has to do with the reported memory leak, but my phone struggles to do anything else in the background while playing the game.
8. My phone also feels like it's going to explode when I play for 10 mins, getting hotter than it has any right to do. Leading me to believe I'm definitely damaging my phone by playing this game
9. Bots in the arena make it useless to try to grind for any champs in the new arena system
10. The recent AMA on the Guillotine buff was a bit of a joke, and felt like more of a Presidential campaign speech with a lot of dancing around without actually answering anything of substance or real relevance
11. I feel like I have to abandon my perfectly otherwise fine iPhone 8 to buy an iPhone 13 just to be able to MAYBE keep playing the game at an acceptable level (great $1400 investment just for a mobile game that gives nothing back in way of enjoyment right now)
12. New variants, boss rushes and story modes are there to be done, but without perfect controls it's kind of useless attempting them because no matter how high your skill level is, you'll inevitably have to rely on how deep your stash and units are to buy your way through the content due to game issues.
13. Content Creators are putting out more and more videos sharing their frustrations with the game controls and direction (weird buffs and company choices with players involvement)
14. Content is almost always released with myriad bugs to the point where I won't even tackle new content until a few days after release just so I can see what the biggest bug issues are and evaluate if it's worth my time to do the content or not
the list goes on, but I'm just very frustrated with the game and don't want to feel this way because it's the longest I've ever stuck to a game in my life. But with all the garbage going on, I have no interest in even supporting the game by paying for deals during Cyber Weekend, or the holidays where before I'd bank on throwing some decent coin at those events without feeling ripped off because the game's given me so much entertainment.
I hope something drastic happens soon, because I'm feeling more and more that this upcoming (hopefully) gifting event might be a last hoorah-clean out the units on gifts and open all the things- before jumping ship for good.
Really sucks to feel so strongly that I spend even this time writing out an opinion on the state of the game when I'm almost certain it'll get removed... So frustrating and sad....
