[HONEST REVIEW] Current State of the Game

[BlaaackCoffeee]

GAMEPLAY

If you only look at the mechanics and the phase of the game, it is a quite addictive and fun game to play. The game is fast phase, which takes about 10-15 minutes per game. You collect items that match the color of your character's role, which is great of people with OCD like me. You fight to the death with the best of your abilities, and eventually get 3rd partied. Finally, you drink potions more than your father drinks alcohol. Overall, a fun game.

RANK POINT SYSTEM & COMPETITIVE MODE

This is the game that has the worst rank system I have ever played. If you play rank, It is basically a waste of time if you're "pro (rank)". The every game has an "entry cost" that reduces your overall garnered rank points. The "entry cost" also increases the more star you have. By the way, in "pro" rank, you need to gain 5 stars in order to move up and become the highest possible rank. The issue here lies in the points required to advance from 1 star to 2 star - and so on. Basically if you gain 1000 points, you will be deducted 400 for entry cost and you will have 600 points gained, in 2 stars it is 500, in 3 it is 600, in 4 it is, 700. The max deduction would be 900. If the points you gain is lower than the entry cost, it will reduce your rank points. Take note that the rank points required to advance per star also increases and the first star in pro rank is very high. So the frustration and anger will be present if you play competitively.

1000 points can only be earned if you won the game, killed a lot of players, and dealt tons of damage. To add, winning in this game is rare and most of the time, the players that have pre-made teams win, and teams with random players most often lose. It does not matter what role you play, the points and only be gained through damage and kills. So RIP to supports, and non-meta characters. The longer I play this game, the more I realize that there is no point in playing ranked because of the entry cost.

@MHA-UR admins, whoever made the entry cost a thing should be fired. Either lower the damn thing, remove it, or improve the rank system and include things like additional points for support methods.


SERVER SECURITY AND STATUS

Sucks. Tons of cheaters, and you disconnect quite often. The server sucks so much that sometimes you bug and could start the game using 2 of the same character. However, it is important to consider that the game just launched like 2-3 weeks ago, so they may be working on improving this and other server issues.


SHOP & IN-GAME REWARDS

One word - trash. Improve the rewards or you will lose players in the long run. To add, WHY THE HELL ARE SOME CHARACTERS LOCKED IN GACHA? Bro, @MHA-UR you will never be as good as GENSHIN IMPACT so STAY in your lane and make the damn characters attainable. Like I currently have 200,000+ coins and do not even know what to do with it. Just be like League where the champions are locked but can be obtained with coins. Even if the champions have varied expense rate, people can make it their goal to conserve and buy it and be happy. Not some gacha ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with crappy roll rate and rewards.


TLDR

The game if fun for like 4 hours. I'd rate it 4/10. For a company that has enough money to purchase copyrights and ♥♥♥♥, the game is low tier.

I make it short:

- i agree on the ranked system, realy bad, makes no sense to play with randoms
- never saw a cheater but saw a couple bugs like (soul/token under the map, hooks not working, civilians not getting rescued after your bar finished, etc.)
- shop could need some changes, however the gacha is a split opinion, i like it, others like it, some hate it

still would always rec. the game since its free and ppl. can still uninstall if they dont like it

Honestly Entry cost is the best ranked system I've come across in my 20+ years of gaming lmao.

They just need to incentives things such as downing opponents, reviving team mates and make the large bulk of elo not be gained from kills.

[iExiiT[GER]]

yeah i mean there need to be an entry cost, otherwise you could not downrank which would make ranked useless XD

imo. the calculation is just bad, atm. everybody is just greey for dealing dmg and getting ko´s + the downed ppl. quitting ... there need to be other stuff besides dmg and kills that is worth aiming for to get points

also i would love to see that if you down a person and that person quits or dies to zone, that kill should be counted for you, im fine if someone shoots my knocked enemy or v-finishes my enemy ... but getting denied by ppl. quitting or going out of zone should not be possible + if someone leaves the game before the whole team is dead/finished, that person should get timed bans that increase in time every time ... its ranked not casual ...

but the roadmap says they are chaning rules in season 2 `? and the battlesystem in season 3 ? who knows if they collect data now and then change in season 2 + 3 for better

Have you ever played Fortnite Ranked? There's no entry cost, and the deduction is based off of your placement. However, Fortnite also have its flaws in ranked. It is hard to gain rank points in it, because to get greater points, you have to kill people with higher ranks than you. What games have you been playing for those 20 years...

Addressing your second and last statement. First, with the vast amount of cheaters, It is a miracle that you have not encountered one at all. Second, gacha with outfits is understandable. However, gate-keeping powerful characters would lead to a pay-to-win scenario, which is horrible stunt as a "Free-to-Play" game. I also would recommend this, even to my friends - but rating the game in its entirety, I stand by what I have rated the game.

Need more characters asap and new maps,the game is really fun.

I think you're right with everything you said.

How do you identify a hacker?
I think many Bakugos/Shotos/Dekus have very crisp aim and kill me too fast.
But I wouldn't say that a good player wouldn't be able to to that.

I know that many people encountered a lot of cheaters but how obvious can you hack in this game?

lol bro, the cheating is easy to see.

they have rapid infinity fire.
they take no damade
they speed around the map

this game is not like call of duty where you can stealth hack with wall hack and aim bot and people will question if you are good or cheating.

the game is over the top so a cheater has to use over-the-top cheats to win.

[hypehype]

I agree wit op, there is no point playing rank unless you want bragging rights or to play people on the same skill level as you.

but that mode is full of cheater so i would not bother.

[MadMonkey]

Stop calling cheater every good player git gud

[benbeno]

I looked at some clips.
I have not encountered anyone that cheated like that
But I haven't played a lot of ranked, just a few matches, but a lot of free play.
Maybe I was just lucky idk

you are not lucky you are right.

i have played ~ 100 unranked games and found one cheater
only took me 5 ranked games to encounter a cheater.

they are mostly in ranked.

What irritates me the most is the lack of action from the company. Yes we get to report, and then what? What happens? A guy I recently reported has the highest rank possible and even got an agency.

[Dramerith]

All this talk of cheaters and hackers is making me second guess the security of this game...dang I really like My Hero Academia...I won't install.
