Tempted to switch back to ME3MP

Yeah, MEA isn't terrible per se, but if you compare it with ME3 it gets completely destructed.
You cited one of the flaws of MEA: characters have no soul. This is particually true for Krogans.

What is being a krogan? Being a krogan is running toward an enemy, regardless of hostile fire, roaring and charging it with your HEAVY MELEE, and watch it flying while you're hysterical screaming MUAHAHAHA! Immediately after you're pointing your CLAYMORE toward an enemy head, making it explode in thousands pieces and hearing that satisfying sound which blends extremely well with the boom of your Shoutgun. And your teammates nearby are congratulating with you, the young Krogan covered in Ravager bloody slime shouting "AH AH, HEADSHOT!! and the Volus "PFHHSK, OUTSTANDING! while counting his credits"

What in Andromeda? Your running animation makes you look like a fatty drag queen, you cannot sustain too much fire, you have to spam your JETPACK like a fucking frog or bird if you want to survive, and you cannot use your heavy melee. No hysterical laughing, your voice seem like the one of a 12 yo who is going through hormone therapy. You have to use your lame headbutt that has no impact, and you have no Claymore. But at least you can headshot, right? No, sorry, you're playing off host, so HSs are completely random. And, by the way, they are not worthy, since heads exploding look like and sound like a cow farting. What are your teammates saying meanwhile? Well, there's that human kineticist who's constantly screaming "COVER YOUR BRAIN", that asari adept who is using Lance, which is powered by her shields (like nova in me3) who, after depleting them by firing the last lance, says "WHO NEEDS SHIELDS ANYWAY??, and that "Turian" something which is continuously complaing "I NEED AMMMO" or "AMMMO, ANYONE", while using a weapon that uses no thermal clips, even when it's fully charged. Cool! Ehm, i mean, COOLYO!!
