When Does this game become fun?

[MooniWooni]

For the life of me I have been unable to enjoy this game since installing it.
I am always getting my ♥♥♥♥ kicked in and juggled into the air with no way to react. The game absolutely punishes you if you can't deal high damage or defensively when someone whips behind you in melee because a lack of melee lock on.
I try and play slow and cautiously, picking my fights with team support yet as soon as I enter the fray My guard is broken, I'm getting juggled and taking pot shots and combos from a single character. Then when I get up, I have no time to react and I'm down almost immediately.

If I am surrounded by enemies with team, average survival time is 1:30 otherwise its whenever I engage in enemies next.

Every result screen has given me a D ranking for being unable to do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. There no time to actually learn what every character can do, what the escapes are and what the strats are. From my understanding this game heavily relies on card upgrades to do massive damage in one go and the player place heavily relies on the meta to succeed.

I've tried a variety of characters and fail with all of them, If there was at least some sort of proper defensive option Like Parries and proper blocks I could probably increase my survivability to at least get back up but there isn't

So I ask, as someone who keeps losing as soon as the round starts. How does one and When does one have fun with this game?
I mean, Uninstalling is an option of course which is the rate that I am going at, but I do want to learn at least.

Is there any honest to god tips to improve how I play the game? If not uninstalling is the path I will take and never touch this game again.

skill issue

you're playing too cautiously

I do random drop as Ochaco and survive and save as long as I can lol taking out people on the side then reuniting to save the team with your civ rescue respawning cards is a nice feeling

okay, you want to know what i did?
play for KOs with bots a few times, and then treat every game you play like that

A) Play with a character you enjoy playing. If you don't like to point and click to do damage, perhaps a more melee oriented character can do the trick. When I'm tired of Bakugo/Todoroki I always play Iida and I have a blast.
B) Play and do wacky stuff. Go for that greedy kill, do some bamboozles, use some quirks in ways you normally wouldn't. The points are stupid stuff, for now, kills are everything. So, don't play ranked, ignore points, play to be supoortive and have fun.

Also, learn what quirks really do. Like, Ochako's tornado is a Hold move, you will spin as long as you hold the key, but also is a proyectile move at the end. If you don't have your alpha quirk, just hold the beta quirk for a moment and launch some rubble. Some moves have stupid synergies or properties, do not be discouraged to learn more or use VS CPU if you need.

Grinding too hard is bad for your mind and spirit. Don't take it as a job, just do whatever you want

Its really a skill issue at this point. if you dont understand how to play you will lose

[Ren-Kun!]

look for characters that are easier to play,
Bakugo and Deku are the lowest skill ceiling characters rn, but they also depend on how well you aim, so avoid them if you suck at aiming.
Dabi is a good character to pick if you want to still try shooting targets from afar but with less the effort since his projectiles track targets, you can also disengage enemies by putting traps while running.
Mt Lady is also a pretty easy character to play, you have mobility using E, Q hits pretty wide, and her projectile is good, you just need to know when is a good time to go big but other than that, you can just use her as a midrange combat character that's pretty mobile.
Other easy to learn mobile character is probably Iida, E makes you go fast but causes you to stall your engine if you let it run out, but your projectile and Q is also another movement option with a pretty huge hurtbox, You can run up walls to run away from enemies by default. Spin kick combos to itself and you can end it with E if the enemy recovers in midair.

Last option, just getting good. I don't expect you to just play better overnight, but knowing a bit more of the game's mechanics and accustoming yourself to dodging every incoming attack, in/out of Dabi's flames, behind structures, or out of Shiggy's zones may help you play better.
I recommend always grabbing a Blue and Green card even though you don't use those specific roles, Blue cards allow you to run faster and up walls when active, and Green cards heal you and party members near you.
Also actually try out characters in the training mode, it lets you use every character, adjust your enemies, bring friends in to learn team combos, try out a 1v3 scenario vs bots, etc etc.....

Not skipping the tutorial helps a lot...

"skill issue" seems like you dont have money for any other games friend

Stop looting and start shooting.
the greatest asset in this game is your teammates, not cards not upgrade.

For me, the game is a lot more fun when playing with at least a friend in VC.
Or by playing ranked because everyone there seems to know what they are doing (Ace rank at least). Unranked is not fun. Ever. At least for me
