BrutalDLX just announced his retirement from hardcore mcoc.

Konstant45

So he's not leaving this game, just not gonna play competitive and all-serious and approach the free to play method. He also addressed the parry and dex issue and seemed pretty annoyed.
Thoughts?

sad to see one of the best accounts go down. hopefully this is a reality check for kabam that they're losing players very quickly

Is this supposed to be a big deal or something?

I feel like there is a downward spiral with this game. Pretty much everything he said is true - long issues, no big challenges, expensive champs. I feel like this game loses breath a little bit. 6r4 are close but new content isn't even for 6r3 (7.2 and V7).

I don't think this game will die, no way. But I believe that we need some fresh air. Something that'd hype us all. SoP was nice, it just could've been a bit tougher. Next is V8 and I hope it'll be worth it. Else it's over and over the same grind for me.

BrutalDLX isn’t the 2nd biggest account and the biggest “real” account if you know what I am saying. He is the original legend, has been with this game from the start, and is a person that almost every player respects. So yes. This IS a big deal

But he's not quitting. He's just not doing high tier war and AQ. So again, how's that a big deal?

A little late for that don’t you think?

Guess I'm one of those few that doesn't respect them. I don't know the guy personally, hasn't done anything that earned my respect. He's just another person who happens to play one of the many games that I play, amongst the millions of other players on all different platforms. Their decision to step back means almost nothing to me and what I'm doing.

Who cares

I totally agree with him. The new champ acquisition cost is getting out of hand. It’s not sustainable in the long term.

What's "in the long run" mean to you? 7 years of the same way if getting a champ you want right away isn't long enough?

apart from the fact that he's a player kabam has honored, you commenting this instead of the usual bye or just ignoring the thread means yes. it kind of is in the summoner side. if you don't care, fine. but coming here and telling everyone you don't care is a bit...

Buy why should we care if this guys decided to take the game less seriously..?

OP asked for our thoughts and I genuinely couldn’t care less.

I did a quick check on the top 5 players from the arena rank on the video, they re all around 5k prestige or below, with no ranked up champs in their top 4, simply mercs or using bots. I wish kabam could do something about that, that's the problem here, not some player getting retired.

This is the problem for end game players. There is no more mountain to climb. Arena is nuts and the game is more chore than challenge. Summer of pain was great, what was the last exciting content before that?

He's not quitting. All of 4Loki stepped away from high end AQ for awhile, where's the post on that? Seatin hasn't done high tier AQ or AW in ages, where's the post on that?

What does it matter that someone is stepping away from the top but not quitting?

Considering he is the Second Highest Rated Account it is a big deal. This dude has been playing since the start and he was the first to clear Realm Of Legends. The fact that you don’t think this is a Big Deal shows how much you care about the Community.

I'm in the same who cares mode as you, but Brutal is that kind of player "with the power" to make other people open their eyes and quit the game

Would be glad to hear his story on conquering RoL.

No. He's not. He's another player. Like the rest of us. Whether you spend money or not. How many players are there? Plenty. There will be more. ESPECIALLY with the MCU picking back up in theaters etc.

Agree, what have we got to do if someone is not playing game or something.

He’s like an “influencer” on the game. People watch his crystal openings and get excited about the game because they see someone pulling a new champ every month. These you tubers have a big impact on the game especially for new players. Kabam needs them to keep people excited about the game and keep playing or spend money.

So while technically it doesn’t matter to us this person quits, it does have an indirect impact on the game and Kabam.

FluffyPigMonster

He quit or retired or whatever the proper label is once before as well, I believe.

The game rebounds and he’ll be back

Sounds like he’s just laying low for a while

Considering there are few people in my alliance alone who look up to him, I guess many people care than you realize.

. To all the peeps asking why this is a big deal:
1. This is not your usual "im quitting this game cuz im annoyed" kinda news, this will impact many players and have them leave this game too.
2. He's not just only not playing high end aq and aw, hes not spending. That means no more crystal openings on his channel, no more buying units, no more grinding arenas.
3. To everyone saying he's "just another player". Just wait until next week when kabam will have a whole new event just for 3 top players and brutal being one of them, so no, hes very very important and one of the biggest players in the mcoc community who holds gravity in his argument. You'll have a whole week of calendar of rewards because of him, so he ISNT just another player.
4. This will also influence other players to leave mcoc and move on in their life.
5. 7 YEARS of playing this game and brutal is leaving NOW just goes to show that mcoc is at its WORST right now, if that man stood through 7 years then you know stuff right now has to be beyond broken if he's forced to pay less and less attention to this game.
6. This aint a break, brutal said specifically he'll return to spending and playing seriously only if they add blackheart, i dont know the chances of that.
7. Last thing, this might not be a big deal for you and thats perfectly okay, but coming on here and telling everyone "who cares" and "i couldnt care less" makes absolutely no sense to me. Just dont say anything if thats the case.
