their map design is very intentional and they expect players to manage specific path identities and interactions. removing 20 nodes would take that away, and they would probably have to make the remaining nodes harder to makeup for it.

also which nodes or paths would you remove?

They designed map before adding a dozen of top defenders to the game right? This is the whole point.
If you remember, a month ago they removed 40 nodes and quite a few people enjoyed it.

ok, so which 20 nodes would you remove?

Does it matter? For example, removing the full path 6, removing the first boss island, removing second part of path 1 and path 9, this is already 11 nodes. I can find 9 more easily but I don't get paid for any design work, I just give my feedback, you don't have to like it, and it doesn't matter whether you like it or not

Again, this is not rocket science, this is just a mobile game, changing something wouldn't blow up the world, I don't know why you are so defensive.

i'm not being defensive, just asked which nodes you would take out.

it's important because paths have identities that need specific counters and kabam likes when we chase champs. if we remove 40% of the map, it lowers the value of our rosters and removes any incentive to spend.

imo the 1 champ test was to gauge participation of progressing teams who usually ignore war and for them i think BIG THINGS has a lot of value, but not for competitive tiers.

they gave us 2-day attack, adjusted the healing system to not count boosted health, reduced log jams by redesigning the map, and lowered timers to 45 minute. i'm not disregarding your post, just wondering if kabam will concentrate difficulty to compensate for less nodes.

The game has 426 active players on steam, Marvel Rivals has 102k and both are free games. Rivals made 130 million dollars it's first month by selling $20 skins. Kabam is selling $500 and $1000 dollar characters yet they makes no where near the same amount of money as Rivals. Do you want to know why Rivals is so successful? It's because there's NO P2W elements. Netease doesn't care if you spend thousands on skins or never buy one skin, they will never restrict any content or mode to it's player base. And guess what IT EVEN HAS A COMPETITIVE MODE where the only way to climb is through skill, mcoc would never do that too many spenders will complain about being stuck in bronze 😜.

Looking beyond money, Rivals gets 10x the views Mcoc does because people want to see the best mechanically skilled player compete against each other, not who spends the most. Console and PC player's aren't brainwashed like mobile players, they don't like P2W mechanics.

Replayability. Mcoc has zero replayability outside of incursions and arena. Once you complete every quest and every challenge, there is nothing to do except wait for the next Everest content or monthly update. It also doesn't help that everything costs energy so you are forced to grind away at arena if you want to refill it.

The only reason why Mcoc has lasted so long is because it has 0 competition. No other mobile fighting game comes close to mcoc in terms of smoothness and gameplay. The game is too old and suffers from an outdated monetization system to ever become big outside of mobile.

No. Rivals is popular because its a MOBA. MOBAS are highly popular thanks to league of legends.

Rivals is a hero shooter. Hero shooters were popularized by Overwatch which won Game of the Year.

Which is a variation of a MOBA...

Did someone attack my battlegrounds!!!!!! GRRRRR 😡 I SPENT all this money to beat the Free2Peons, clearly you just suck at the game unlike ME!!!!. How will I have FUN in the game if I can't spend money to WIN!!!!! Clearly it's a SKILL ISSUE!!!! that you don't want to spend hundreds every year just to even have a chance at competing with pro players such as myself...

The fact that you complain so much about proves you're not a pro player either lmfao get off your high horse.

Wow that flew right over your head

It's almost as if he doesn't complain about whales in BGs twice a week right?

Wow that flew right over your head twice...

You're one to talk eh.

Do you think I should rank this guy for BGs?

You'd probably still blame your losses on the whales and RNG.

That's my pull lmao. I got lucky from the 2020 gifting event and got a Featured 6* crystal and pulled the CGR in the photo.

Do you think I should upgrade Bishop 2099 or Firelord?
