Re: Yet another great video calling Kabam out on their defender BS
I mean that’s a pretty damning metaphor. Either way I think the larger point is if you keep upping the potency of the product then customers will OD and stop using the product… which is the current direction that is trending
Re: While Kabam try to rework the nodes for future elder difficult,lets try to help
It's better to have a barely existent spark of hope than to simply stand idly by and watch a company sink a game that had potential due to lack of competence and greed.
Even if they don't see everything, I still hope they have basic logic(To make matters worse, they have already shown that they don't have a lot)
Re: Yet another great video calling Kabam out on their defender BS
to be fair,..the video wasn’t completely negative,..and she had some valid points.
I do however think it has become the nature of the game itself.
When you are releasing two champs a month while trying to make them relevant and to keep customers interests piqued, it cannot be easy.
The more champs released the more the community becomes critical of their “worth”.
We are critical of lacklustre champions that we wait 🤞,..half a year for a possible rebalancing.
We are critical of op defenders that are marketed with only a future “specific counter”,…yet we rank these “defenders “ up and then target acquiring the counters for said defenders.
Then when Kabam looks at everything under a microscope and decides to “nerf” a champ, the community screams bloody murder because other op champs did not receive the same treatment.
I don’t believe the situation is Kabams or the communities fault tbh.
It is simply where we are at with Champion releases
I’m not saying it isn’t a problem…it is.
I am saying it was inevitable that it would one day come to this
Re: What is better Cyber Weekend or Banquet?
and here we are again, people are already thinking about how to throw their the money in the most efficient way at kabam.
Considering the overall state of the game and kabams willingness to “listen” to people - i do not understand this.
Re: Yet another great video calling Kabam out on their defender BS
crazy how many people are in denial about this… it’s why the game is no longer as fun as it used to be.
turns out releasing borderline bs mechanics that are heavily slanted to punishing players for not owning a counter every other month and devaluing mastery investments may be a new design space but it isn’t a very fun one.
Re: Yet another great video calling Kabam out on their defender BS
no he’s not. But I know you love playing in fields of straw men so unsurprisingly you picked this one up.
Re: Yet another great video calling Kabam out on their defender BS
Many people are in denial of this because of enchantress, SPW was one of the perfect counter for her and for that people has invested ton off resources to buy her from bundles or from other resources.
Kabam is unknowingly taking this matter lightly and skipping the anger which summoners are facing but in future they will see the consequences of this way of implementing or modification which is being to Champs after release
Re: Yet another great video calling Kabam out on their defender BS
The community has no choice but to be complicit which feeds into the cycle of kabam trying to get away with whatever the hell they want.
When it comes to champion design, especially DLL. Theres really no budging them so of course people would just deal with it while not having any fun
Re: Yet another great video calling Kabam out on their defender BS
The problem is, while a lot of top players complain about these new bs defenders, they're also the ones who immediately buy them, rank them up, and place them as defenders every opportunity they get.
We can pretend like we're the victims of bad design, but I think we also have to acknowledge that there is a strong market for bs defenders. Even if people complain, a lot of people (including many who complain) want to have these types of defenders. They just don't like it when they get cooked themselves.
And of course, this also stems from the hypocritical nature of the MCOC community at large.
People complaining about deals then buying them. People threatening to quit but continuing to play. People calling others whales but also spending themselves. People blaming their losses on bad luck but not their wins. Et cetera.
And I don't say this to undermine the complaint about defenders; I'm just adding that this is another core issue where the community is both angry and complicit at the same time. I think that's the bigger issue imo.
