The game is REALLY bad right now

I’m sure you’re at least partially aware. But this isn’t a normal “servers are a little slow”. It’s like full 15 second lags when just trying to level a champ. It’s two second lag spikes in the middle of fights (good luck timing that sp2 dex). It’s the game FLIPPING PORTRAIT mid-fight.

I've also had the connection symbol on screen for days at a time. Sometimes longer. Stuff is messy
When everyone keeps telling that they are experiencing the same thing then there must be something wrong with the game
It isn't that strangers start lying collectively
No one said anyone's lying. But mods can't go off of words. They need to see what's happening plus there's no device listed. How are they supposed to fix anything with no information?
Anyone could have noticed this was bugged by playing 30 mins of arena.
I really feel for the community managers who were pants on stream.

Kabam doesn't make millions. Netmarble makes millions. Kabam just gets the money they need to pay their employees. They don't have a vault where the devs are rolling around in dollar bills while laughing at your problems.

So please, link me to all these videos.
Again, just so everyone's aware of my stance, I am not saying there aren't issues. I am experience some weird interactions myself but can't seem to get them on video. I have also noticed that with my Pixel 6 Pro, if my thumb is too close to the screen but not touching, I've noticed the screen picks up the input during fights.
Again, if all these things like screens flipping, lag etc.. are happening every single time, why doesn't every post have a video showing it? The mods have constantly asked for people to fill out the bug report template and none of ya'll do that and very few actually respond back on their own threads from requests of the Mods.
I'm just saying that with so many people experiencing different things, some having tons and some having none, it's not something a developer can just say "oh I know what's causing that, let me fix it right now".
But please, continue to put words into my mouth.
Anything else is just bellyaching and grandstanding. Which, of course, all are welcome to engage in, but isn't as helpful to the folks tasked with fixing the issue, nor the majority of users who don't have the same issue for whatever reason.

YouTube BG streams are full of DC Bugs, Zero Point Bugs, (there’s like 10 more bugs I’m not typing them all) and dodgy Ai….. Tom-foolery, let’s call it. It’s right there for them to see in action.
This last patch also gave them special priority for some reason. Coming out of a special, you CANNOT launch a special again before the Ai. They can choose not to. Allowing you to. But you can’t beat them on the stand up anymore if they get straight up and fire it.
Not that that is the same thing, but y’all are clearly doing things under the hood that are effecting everything.
But my main issue with Kabam's lack of transparency is the fact that I'm not even sure passive AI is an issue to them. I'm willing to put in some work to prove bugs that I know aren't intended, as I have done before, but even after stalking the forums for moderator comments about AI behavior I still have no idea if dexing mediums for 45 seconds until Hyperion hits 3 bars of power is intended. If it is, I'd be okay with just accepting it as part of the game and developing my power control roster just that much more, but we really have no way of knowing. I know there are a lot of unintentional AI issues, but without specifics on which common AI problems aren't intended, I feel like I'd be wasting my time recording fights against passive AI.
There are really only two things we can be sure of in this game:
1. Issues do exist.
2. Just complaining is the absolute worst way to fix them.
So what I would suggest to Jax, Miike, or any slightly less popular but still cool moderator who might be reading this: A somewhat detailed FAQ on AI/Input issues would be extremely helpful.
Just off the top of my head, a few things I would personally like answered are:
Are enemy special intercepts intended? Are enemy light attack intercepts intended? What category of issue (AI or Input) would these two fall under?
Is passive AI intended?
How do the devs plan on tackling AI/Input issues? Is this a problem that could be solved by reworking the AI mechanics to make them more reliable, or would just bug fixing be their preferred way of addressing it?
Overall, the game is mostly fine for me. The special attacks visual bug has been annoying, but obviously it's only temporary. The possibly permanent issues are the ones that concern me. As much as I'd like to advocate for Kabam and as much as I'm against the anger towards the 9-5 employees rather than the executives who actually make the money from this game, the lack of communication from moderators can be very draining. It feels like we have to rely on some random forum post asking the right question to get any real answers, which just isn't a reliable system.
