How's the game going today?
I gave the game a chance a couple of times, the last time was 2 years ago, but it always ended the same way.

The game was extremely skill-dependent. No, this is not my main complaint about the game and I think that skill is good in modern games.

I was upset that in the lobby matchmaking always threw newbies and professionals, because of which the most experienced player always dominated the game no matter what. There were absolutely no comeback mechanics, this player usually became so strong that he could simply kill you with auto attacks.

I got really tired of it and gave up the game. How are things now?

I've been playing this game non-stop since the EA release in 2020, and I liked the game more before the 1.0 release.
Now it's become another regular team dependent dgsht game, there's only squad mode left.
Normal games are still unbalanced af, 10 games noobs playing with 3k hour players, if you play solo, there's a high chance you'll get noob teammates (especially in EU). And even if you have 2 friends to play with, you will still be obliterated by 3 high MMR players or just by 3 decent players in the party.
Ranked games are more balanced, but you will have to play on specific time and wait like for 10+ minutes for each game.

Now you won't fall so far behind unless your team has lost all of the fights, hasn't secured any objectives, and it's already past mid-game.

If you're not from Asia (which is the most alive region), I don't recommend playing.

It's still a dead game for non-Asia player. You may need a vpn to join the Asia fun, and then as I guy who played 2000 hours + with alt I don't recommend it

Can developers answer, why do I always play with AI bots? I mean literally. I'm trying to give the game a chance like each year, but it always the same, I'm playing with AI only. it is obvious. Is there ANYONE from alive players?
I'm playing in Europe server.

Have you tried going to normal match not practice tool? They should bring back solo if this game is indeed dead.

I mean the reason I am not playing is exactly BECAUSE I can't solo the game... I don't wanna play with randoms and sadly my friends just aren't into BRs, with Eternal Return in particular being too slow for them in the moba playstyle. I want to play Lenore, I want to get back into stomping on Rozzi, I want to run people down on Alex (or whatever the janitor guy was called). But I can't play the game.

I for one don't want a return of Luke snowballing cause he finished his weapon in Alley first and killed two people.

And with how many bruisers seem to be in the game that shrug off damage from 2-3 players at any one time, getting into solo fights against them with the possibility of another solo bruiser coming along and dumpstering you doesn't sound fun. I don't want to be caught between Nikki and Darko.

I do admit the game is different with Trios being the focus; there aren't any more moments of trying to lure a chaser into another player or hiding with 2 other players in the end zone while the two biggest monsters the room has fight it out. It's just straight forward chaotic fights of three on three with another team coming in from time to time(Unless it's an objective).

People want solos back cause they don't want to rely on other players, and that's fine. But there's too many dangerous characters I feel in the game to let loose into a solo format and they already showed they had trouble balancing people for 1/2/3 format.

You just need to change server to Asia, in your upper right where the settings are there is a circle between banner and mail icons. Press that circle button that symbolizes a globe. You can change server queue to Asia, North America, South America, and Europe.

Do mind the closer you are to Asia the better the ping, the farther the worse.

I was debating on playing this game myself, but after reading all the comments here, no thanks.

Well it is free to play so there's that.

The bigger issue though for a new player is that they tend to stick you in bot lobbies at the start. This wouldn't be a problem but given the low number of low/new accounts it sounds like from other coments you get into matches with a bunch of bots instead of the rounding out 1-2 teams I tend to see.
