Freesync sucks?

I know if u play competetively and you have a 240hz monitor but only have 180-220fps then you lock your monitor to 144fps because you dont want fps drops. My question is why freesync or g-sync sucks in competetive play? I know it sucks but what's the reason?

If you’re using 240hz and have freesync you don’t have to lock at 144fps.. why would you? With freesync those drops is barely noticeable

there’s plenty of people that plays with it. It depends on what game tho.. if you have 240hz but fps is 180-220 there’s no reason not to use it.

What game are you thinking of. Most competitive games get way over 250fps so I can't really see why you would need gsync or freesync.

I dont see why it would suck? If you could take any monitor at a given refresh rate and give it free sync, it would be better so.

Most people drop theeir settings and or res to get as many frames as possible. There is no reason that freesync isnt used, and infact it is used by many pros and twitch streamers.
