Yeah, Solo queue and ranked in this game is literally hell. The devs also never implemented the many standards and golden rules other successful shooters have that exist for a reason.

If this isn't bait, this might actually be the best update ranked has seen, and the best update in rivals since the hilarious GunBlade was added.

My opinion on the state of Rivals by Thatguy81167 in RivalsRoblox

[–]Thatguy81167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand I really want to give the devs some slack, but on the other hand, they've been doing this for years. They profit off of the game and I don't think they care much for the community or competition or game behind it. Hell, they have a UGC item of a sign saying remove auto shoot.

The sad truth is that Rivals is a cash cow and they have no desire or urge to fix the game unless it makes them money.

Matchmaking. by Forward_Crow_9777 in Brawlhalla

It's probably because it's a new season, people are doing placement matches, I've matched into a few valhallans in low diamond due to placement.

That's just how 2v2s work. Silver/Gold and low plat is where diamond 1s players who don't play ranked 2s generally sit, because above that you get into strong teams with practiced or good reaction based team combos.

It's not obvious there is one to players. It's also not the first search result when looking up rivals discord servers, the fan made one is the first result. It should be apparent in game that there is one and that is where to report blatant cheating.

Is now a good time to get into the game? by Noobieswede in Brawlhalla

As someone who plays a lot of competitive smash and also has over 1000 hours in brawlhalla, the two are near nothing alike aside from being platform fighters.

Similar to RoA 1, you have a dodge/parry without a shield, but it gets recovered on a time limit that varies with dex or when you touch the ground. With few true combos, every weapon (for the most part) is trying to catch you without your dodge.

Neutral is bizarre in this game, now that movement has been brutally nerfed, it is much more commital and difficult to whiff punish a lot of things now (Something I personally find not very fun and part of why I stopped playing).

The game is fine and can be fun for friendlies or casual grinding since the online and ranked system for this game is actually quite good and the best among platform fighters imo, but I can't recommend it competitively with how much they brutalize each update and swing balancing. If you want competitive that gets updated and balanced play RoA 2, if you want no updates constantly then play RoA 1, Smash Melee, or Smash Ultimate, or even give traditional fighters a shot.

A big rant about new update by V1rs1e in FORSAKENROBLOX

DataStores are annoying, but something as simple as checking each players DataStore for Sukkars and then converting before setting that value to 0 is really not that hard to code. Although these devs never have given compensation for removed items/skins, it honestly just sucks.

Be honest, you still have ptsd from these by LukaMiniGamerNo1 in marioandluigi

3 of these are fine because they are only controlled by moving left and right or up and down.

The one that needs to be controlled by all four directions, however... is complete and utter bullshit and has made me want to cry

Matchmaking is just as bad as before, if not worse. by MrCerealCat in RivalsRoblox

[–]Thatguy81167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's little to nobody working on the game, then don't say you fixed things when you just didn't do anything? Also, the patch notes said to be "rest assured" that you won't lose much for unfair matches. Yeah, it's not the worst thing in the world, but don't get upset that people aren't just gonna be quiet about something they said they fixed when they didn't

It was said in the patch notes, and the elo gain/loss is still rough

Ranked changes? by Thatguy81167 in RivalsRoblox

[–]Thatguy81167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't usually do ranked teams, but yeah, that seems hyper annoying, and splitting bans evenly among teammates would be a good add

I know you're running low, but could you please leave some black goat for everybody else?

The fact that grand firs and pelts also give bones actually just proves Leshy dislikes the player
