Bonus rounds

I don't understand val eco enough but is it just me or is it easier to win bonus rounds now (in this year)? I feel like in the past years it was standard for the score to be 2-1 after 3 rounds into the game but now I see much more 3-0s (and then 4-0s as well) and in general much more blowout halves.

Is it just me or is that how the meta is rn?

it shouldn't be if teams are fully conditioned and prepared

People just understand economy better and are working around their best players sometimes you would drop a guardian to your best player and hell give you a ghost or sherrif and then on bonus they buy the best player an op or let him invest in a vandal

teams are learning how to use money and snowball ults so bonuses are way closer to buy rounds than they used to be. Like teams used to force spectres second round so they would have spectres third round, but now teams are having like 3 bulldogs and 2 vandals minimum

outlaw forces losing team not to buy at all second round, so less damage dealt to winning team. Because of it team that won pistol has decent buy on third round, if you win - your ults are probably close to being ready. A lot of maps with not only 3-0 start, but 5, 6, 7 rounds in a row.
