How to fix the game

[Fabio]

I want to like this game. I still suck at this game so I already know I just need to git gud. But there are so many issues, which are also just typical Hi-Rez brain-amputated antics, and most of these issues seem to have very obvious solutions.

1) Remove the talent system
I get that it might entice players to grind levels for talent unlocks but I think this system has no place in a smash-like game such as this. Going up against the same god two times in a row but each fight being different sounds cool on the surface but leads to frustration as you spend the first round figuring out what build the enemy is using. It also gatekeeps high tier talents from newer players who will have a weak build going against high levels with the best talents unlocked. Replace unlocks when you level up gods with something cosmetic or similar item that gives no in-game advantage.

2) Add a 3v3 Brawl queue. I can't believe this isn't already in the game. In the 3v3 party mode queue you can already play the brawl game-mode but then you have to play ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ oddball afterwards. Telling my friend who joined discord "sorry dude, you can't join because then we would have to play 3v3" just makes all three of us want to play something else entirely. Split party mode off in to a separate queue for all I care, you could add 2v2 and 1v1 party mode but for god's sake just add 3v3 brawl only queue.

3) Add some kind of matchmaking. Most games are very one-sided (I mostly play 2v2) leading to 3-0 or 0-3. Going up against players who have 4 or 5 gods at or above level 15 is not fun when your highest god is level 5.

1) no its fun and most of it isn't even "better", its just a slight change benefit to how you play

2) Yeah sure, no reason not to. But it doesn't kill you to play objectives

3) There already is matchmaking, you can beat somebody easily with 10x in every god, if they are garbage it doesn't matter. Just yesterday I picked up Ymir and at level 1 beat an XIV Ymir with atleast 10+ on a few other gods, while I only have a level 12 sol.

Multiversus has a perk unlock system just like DKO and I think both work fine, it would be nice if it showed what perks said person is using for those competent to know what they do, but the game is still EA and can evolve *hopefully*. Perks behind level ups are annoying when the grind is pretty tedious, so it should be more simple like behind amount of matches played to not just overwhelm someone with all the perks.

If the game gets a ranked mode, which I am sure will come with the battle pass most likely, the game will probably have a 3v3 KO matches, BET.

You talk much, I disagree with talents since everybody can get those?
Add 3v3 knockout for sure;

the biggest issue with the game sadly is balancing and a huge lack of telling the player which attack does what. for example thanatos Q/LT gives him super armor but in the ability description, it says nothing about this. A lot of strong attacks have barley any penalty. Ymir can dodge immediately after his ice breath which means you have to time your attack so that you hit him WHILE STILL IN BREATH to keep him from dodging. the game doesnt tell you which attacks counter which (sometimes light attacks counter heavys, somethies heavys coutner light, sometimes a simple light attack counters someone mid skill) its just.. really not well polished for a fighter like this.

oh yeah this has brought my blood to boil so many times. Nowhere does it tell you what "counter" or "clash" or "interrupt" means. YMIR ice breath is so broken as you can still damage him while he's breathing on you but you cannot escape it because you will just get frozen to a block.
