it's not surprised that the game is dying again

[Hofaho]

remember the old beta day we have only 100 players left? Oh well we have only 1k~2k players left after game full launch.
I don't even think people playing this game on NS/mobile because the control is so terrible.

Most main problem still have not fixed since beta.
Character who can do multi hit is still the meta/top tier character (Like Ai.Mi, Era or Kai)
The new match time is still so freaking long. I don't know who the hell in the dev team thought bo5 is better than beta version.
the old day you only need 5 wins to finish a match. Even with overtimes you may just need 10-15 mins for a game
but now is like win 3 games > wasting time for AWAKENING pick > enemy win 3 games > wasting time for AWAKENING pick > .... I sleep
even your team is going to 9-0 it still need at least 15 mins for a game
and I can tell for plat/diamond game you always go to 2:2 game because players are good now. It took freaking 20~30 mins for a freaking rank game
even lol aram is faster than this game.
I don't even want to talk how long for them to add the surrender to duel with the leaver issue

have to learn to handle criticism about videogames.
Only praising everything about an bad update/mechanic doesn't make you a good positive person
It's funny that whenever you click on the youtube core talk most people is just like "oh yay pray for the dev team" even most dev just knew how to posting meme or shi t post in twitter.

As a diamond player since beta I feel very sad about this game is going down like other game I like
I don't even think those dev playing their game.
Keep paying well-known seiyuu or animator can't save the gameplay you know

The controles on nintendo switch are the same than with a controller
Which is pretty good, just a bit less aim but with training it goes better, and Xbox/PS4-5 plays the same way

And I personally saw awfully long battles in beta
Like, 15-16 and the match still going on because it needed two points of differences at this time

I'm getting a lot of 30 +- minutes matches recently. It's especially boring when the overtime last for like 2-3+ extra minutes.
As for why they did 3 sets, it's because this "Awakening" system is unusable otherwise. I haven't played the beta, but from what i heard it was fundamentally (not sure if better) different system there.

And for starters, there's isn't much progression, battle pass can be farmed quite fast and it's kinda underwhelming in terms of rewards (3 rune skins recolors ffs), no events or bad events like do "100 wins in 10 days" and nothing to do really, aside from simply playing the game. Nothing to do with abundance of in-game currency too once you get all characters. Maybe they could introduce recolors for basic skins or something for normal currency, shouldn't be that hard to do.
This game is great, but it's need a lot of work and improvements.

Agreed It went down the drain quicker than New World.

[JarzHuntz]

it sure doesnt look good - https://steamdb.info/app/1869590/charts/ - 3 month - yeesh.
im still hoping the devs can turn it around yet somehow

[Dregora]

3.2k current steam players, there's crossplay too, so the actual playerbase is much bigger

Y'all wild.

In EU it's legit less than 10 seconds to queue and I'm in plat.

Crazy how regions work.

[Stoned Jester]

Play on pc

EU here, mid diamond. Queues, even for quick play take 6-7 mins sometimes upwards of 10m at 6-7pm. Even in QP.

[Orez-Suke]

in EU region the worse waiting time I get was around 2min in any mode, and it is kinda rare

[LynX]

Weird. I have a friend in challenger and he's getting queues in about a min.

Depends when you play but I've have 0 issues with queue times.

I would not say its dying, it can be played on if i recall any device so the match making is around 1-2 mins.

I can see the numbers dropping after the streaming event but i think the games main issue is long term content which only updates will bring. 3k players just on steam alone is not bad and if we getting 3k-4k players per console and some mobile then we have a healthy playerbase

In these games most of the time PC is the lowest base. So you got the right of it.

Idk why people think PC is the most popular when it's not even close to the most popular platform. If PC is doing well then it means other places is 9/10 times doing better.

[smokratez]

I love it when devs ignore all good feedback, because they think they know better and then the playercount starts dropping hard.

[GalaxiaShadow]

Did you forget Cross Play is a thing?

[W.A. the Anum]

I think its fun but yea, you can literally "feel" that some characters feel way to unbalanced...like even over-the-top unbalanced...
