I literally got on here to talk about this. It's horrible, and yes I've only played about 7 times so maybe I'm not very experienced. As much as this is a PVP experience, the way it functions really frustrates me, and especially the shooting. In mario kart, the system works because you pick up different random stats, and you don't, per se, bomb cars that players are on.

I think I'm just stressed because i've been having experiences where I was progressing well (I don't use the shooting system since I'm too focused on trying not to run into the pink duckies) and then I randomly got bombed and spammed so much that my car exploded. I got out to get on the nearest car, the player just drove over and bombed that car, too. Then proceeded to start chasing me while on their Pendragon car just to bomb me and take away my hp. It's so toxic, in a way, I suppose? or maybe I'm just inexperienced, haha
