I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again.

My biggest problem with the game is the scoring system. It doesn’t use your actual bird levels, but rather your assumed ones (which doesn’t take into account gifts and arena rewards, only the map treasures). Because of this, as you progress in the game it becomes easier and easier to get 3 stars in levels, which removes any challenge that was previously there. In many of Mighty Red’s walkthroughs the 3-star threshold is passed in, say, the second room – in a level with five rooms. If his actual bird levels were taken into account, some of his walkthroughs wouldn’t actually be 3 stars!

All the problems mentioned by @partshade are minor for me. Terence doesn’t pop balloons as well as birds like the Blues do – in the same way that Bomb doesn’t break wood as easily as Chuck. I believe @bankler said that pigs suddenly becoming indestructible happened automatically and accidentally when they switched their game engine from Unity 4 to 5. The cheaters will always find some way to exploit some kind of hack in the game, but for some reason I’ve never really encountered any. I don’t use spells (unless they’re pre-provided), so Blizzard isn’t really much of an issue for me. And I can’t say anything about the daily challenges as I stopped playing the game before these were released.

All in all, I wouldn’t say that I’ve quit Angry Birds 2; I’m just boycotting it until the scoring system is evened out (or reverted, but that’s probably less likely). It should adjust itself when your bird levels change. This would be enough for me to end my boycott. But until then… no AB2 for me.
