This game is in the WORST state it’s ever been in, this is getting ridiculous.

Hello Kabam or whoever may be reading this particular forum post. This will be my first ever post on here, because I feel like I just can’t hold my frustrations in any longer.
For some backstory for you all, I have been playing this game pretty consistently for about 7 and a half years or so. Many of you may even know me/recognize me if you saw me in the global chat; which is why I kept my display name different than my in game user.
Anyways, to the point now.
The input issues, crashing, extreme lag, freeze frames, etc.. is starting to really get out of control.
I just played a match in BG’s where I lost simply because the opponents Hercules was on 2 bars of power (almost 3) and because my game just chose to stop letting me dex, I ate two hits to the face and he was pushed to an S3. In what universe or world is it fun to be basically punished for being a good player? Do I just have to go buy a brand new top of the line phone or something to actually play this game without issues again?
Not only just the input issues either, the A.I. has gotten to the point of pure ridiculousness to try and bait them to play into you. I literally spent 35 seconds a few BG matches ago, trying to bait a Nick Fury’s SP2. I also subsequently lost that fight as well, since I wound up timing out due to how extremely passive the A.I. was. I wasn’t given a single opening, nor an opportunity to attack.
Truthfully I know for a fact that I am one of many who keep this game FTP, as I do go pretty all out during various events; but with all these issues plaguing the game I’m seriously considering never touching this game ever again with a ten foot pole.
This isn’t the Kabam I grew up with, that always was having bug fixes and maintenance every Thursday around 2 o clock. This just seems like you’re completely taking advantage of us Kabam, and I don’t think I’ve ever been this annoyed with a game company.
I already know of many many other veteran players that called it quits for this same reason (among others) and I’ve been seriously considering doing the same.
The only reason I still play now in fact, is due to having made many friends and close friends on this game over the years. They’re the only reason I still play.

4.5yr Paragon player here, using a Note 10+ and mobile network...

Minor input drops, network disconnects, and AI advancements aside, the game is still very much playable 99% of the time for me, despite a few random unpredictable occurrences here and there.

I'm not a maxi by any means, and I'll call a spade a spade, but my current experience is that the game continues to be very enjoyable to play at the moment.

@DrZola not sure where to go with that response lol. Yes, I was speaking about the gameplay issues while “in fight”.
I haven’t experienced any lagging or “skipping” so to speak unless I was getting poor signal on my phone.

If you think the game is in a bad state rn should have seen at the peak of parry and input issue controls. Or when 12.0 nerf made landing

True that, dying from parry royally sucked right after 12.0

Ha. Understood. What I meant was issues that happen in the middle of a fight, not issues that occur from inception.

For example, I have fights that begin quite smoothly. Then suddenly I can see the game jittering and it’s time to brace for poor mechanics.

It’s too big, they probably don’t know how to reoptimize it. Almost all the issues are likely due to lag and frame rate issues in my personal experience.

You make some very good points, but it's actually hard to determine where the issue is. The game is admittedly bugged, but personal experience varies a lot - I play on an "old" low-end phone that wasn't very expensive (like $160 as a new, sealed device) and I haven't had as dramatic issues as you describe.

Also please, would you be able to quantify the "many many other veteran players" who quit? I am actually curious about that.

And lastly, for me personally the worst performace issues came around the release of Darkhawk - do you remember that? What an awful time to play!

For me it was rocket raccoon. Those dreadful days.

Depends in what area of the game, ie. Mechanics, AI, modes, bugs, cheating, support, character development, graphic design
I would 70% agree, with the way the game is being managed, the uninformed support, and the economy being so outdated. But the character development and graphic design team is killing it

I dunno, but somehow while my dexing works, my parrying has taken a huge toll. Just the other day, i remember fighting those doombots in incursion, and while it showed parry on my side, the doombot just went about as if nothing happened, MULTIPLE FREAKING TIMES.
And don't even get me started on my spider-ham, hulkling or OS rushing into specials, even when i held them for block in BGs. And BGs.....well, i think i just don't want to revisit the memory of how annoyingly bugged that place is, given how great its rewards are.
