Why play the Global ver. over CN?

[Seawynn]

From my understaning, CN version is roughly 7 seasons ahead of Global. In other words, waaaay more skins, a few more characters, and overall a more stable ranking system.

By "stable" I mean that since Strinova's Global version is new, people are just starting to rank up, which means that some players are currently ranked lower than they should be.

In a nutshell: Global has less skins, characters, the prices are the same, and Global has less content overall (like the collabs from a few weeks ago).
Why even bother in Global when CN version has more of everything?

If CN version has more of everything then why are the CN playerbase coming to this server and attacked it during release claiming our version is somewhat better in terms of monetization, battlepass and skin selection?

China's version doesn't have a permanent banner and if certain skins like the swimsuit is the only reason that makes you play the global version because you couldn't wait then you'll end up going back here anyway when that time comes. CN playerbase is dwindling as said by players from China.

other than haoplay you need a CN id to play the game, most people do not have access to it, so global is your best bet. i don't think thats very difficult to understand.

To be fair, Global isn't doing all that hot either. A few days ago, you'd have 10k players in steam AT ALL times, whereas currently (the past 4-5 days) it's been around 7k at all times. If the trend continues, obviously there'll be less players in global as well.

My point is; more content, so much more that honestly it's hard to imagine global catching up in the following 6 months or so. To be clear: 7 seasons advantage means that they'd need to cram in those 7 seasons in 2x the speed just to have caught up to today's amount of content in CN... that would take around 6 months, so then global would still be at ~6 months disadvantage, which is roughly 3 seasons.

And again, more dorms, more CHARACTERS, collabs (even if not to everyones taste), and obviously the skins. If CN is always gonna be ahead, why bother with Globad release? Honestly I wish there was a way to see how many players were active in total, launcher included.

Fair.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'd be interested in a lots of content in the game. I do kinda like things the way they are, though the matchmaking is certainly the uncertain questionable in my eyes, but definitely manageable in premades.

The only reason that I need to play this one over Chinese is the location of the server, otherwise the language.
I can't even imagine learning Chinese over this.. Sounds like a bita too much effort for what I see as arcade-competitive type of a videogame..

You clearly didn't played the CN version. Go ahead and play the CN version right now then. Your 7 seasons worth of skins are almost unobtainable and you'll have lesser chance to obtain it from the daily store compared to here in GLOBAL release.

You'll come back realizing why Calabiyau players are review bombing this game.

Also, you're seriously going to use a RELEASE TRENDING where people try it out then the playerbase drops and call it a dead game? You need to try out the actual CN version and see it for yourself.

The game launched at a bad time. With how grindy it is with everything. There will only be a tight niche of players that actively log and play every day. I don't see this game growing drastically or dramatically EVER... unless by some stars aligned cosmic event happens and people somehow gravitate to it lol. I fear this game in a few months will be like another game i use to enjoy playing for awhile, Paladins. That game barely holds 3k these days, even on content drops.
