well, compared to the CHA community that used to hold strong with ~20 players; it is doing ~50X better now. There are two clans again; both are more active than the old CHA clans. You cant compare skill between now and back then though; because the game back then consisted of 3 possible builds; and memorizing them. now it is counters.
But, I will agree that 95% of the "old ways" are gone; and this is a new generation of CHA that is in a different league than oldschool CHA used to be in. sadly, a lot fewer aggressive players are around these days.
