Ranked Lunalu ("Random")

[ルタフォリ]

You should not be able to pick characters you can random in ranked. It makes it so you could just play one character while appearing to be "random" Doesn't make any sense. People are already doing it.

EDIT : The point being that you can compete for ranks on the "random" leaderboard without actually playing random. It ruins the fun of leaderboard progression as random.

Agreed. It would be more interesting if we had a true random Lunalu for ranked.

Wait, what? I Must be missing something because I really don't understand what you're saying people do

I mean if you're bad against every character in the game it's just skill issue lmao! Like if you're skilled enough with random select then you should do it but I don't see a reason to be butt hurt by it.

NOW I GOT IT. TC is angry because someone with a random character has beaten them.
It doesn't make sense, if someone can beat you with a random char, they can beat you with any char. Result would not have changed, this is just an excuse to blame the other party instead of accepting their own flaws and lack of skill.
One of the excuses of all time

No you don't get it. It's that when you pick Lunalu, apparently you can decide which character can show up and which doesn't on the random when you pick her, which means that it's not random at all.

[Aphelium]

That... doesn't change the fact that you lost against the dude?
I'm still trying to understand what difference does it make for you, since you're gonna get your ass beat anyway, and you still can see the char in the opening scene...
In what you're describing, is like picking a character normally, which makes absolutely no difference at all...
Am I missing something?

Okay if that's true then what's the issue? That just means you play against that specific character they choose. Sure you won't know who they pick in the lobby but you choose to fight that if you go out of your way to do so. Ranked shouldn't matter if that's the case.

It makes absolutely no difference to pick a char and to pick lunalu and disabling everyone except the char you want to play as.
Either I'm missing something, or this is an excuse to gaslight themselves to think they lost because of Luna...

You can untick all but one character in Lunalu list. Yes. (Of course I won't be doing it, duh)
Sure, I would be getting a higher rank on Lunalu than if it was locked to all-random.
But - would that change anything for my ranked opponents, in the actual match? No, it would not.

Oh that's goofy lol. But yeah this would only change who you pick to fight against in the lobby then. Honestly sounds funny to do in a lobby.

Yes there is a big difference.
There difference is that you get a cute anime girl following you around in the background giving you emotional support which honestly is unfair to your opponent.

Fair point, I was mistaken, I didn't take into account the cuteness factor.

The issue is that if you like competing for rank #1 as random (me) , it is an unfair environment because other people can just play one character and still get credit as "Rank #1 random player"

It ruins the random player leaderboard.

This is so specific but I sort of get it now. If anything the fix should be forcing actual random only in ranked even if you select Lunalu and having anywhere else be the normal rules for Lunalu's specific random select.

wow this is great.
you can have your main and have a loli in the background too.
best part is that it resets your letter grade in ranked, so you get to smurf a bunch of new players and STILL get exp for your main.
