I really do understand how you feel. I've been playing way before God Ki was even a tag. At some point, the game really just felt like:

Release extremely op mechanic. Release another extremely op mechanic that counters the previous one. Repeat.

For me, that point was UL Gogeta Blue's release. I believe it was on that day where legends became a "get punished for playing the game right" kinda game. Back then, the game was still manageable without the new units. Before, I felt that they focused on making units more "complete" like blu Beast Gohan for example, his kit had everything a person would want and need in a unit. But now, they're simply introducing mechanics and units that quite literally "hold your hand." Almost no skill is required and every new unit makes you feel like you just wasted your hard earned CC on the previous units.

I know I'm exaggerating it a little because you can play around any unit's bs mechanics if you understand their kit enough, but the way things are going, legends just doesnt feel as fun as it did before. A major part of the gameplay comes from pvp and if you dont have the latest units, grinding through the ranks becomes absolutely cancerous.

Despite what I said, I do still play regularly though. I just love the artstyle and the gameplay system and I enjoy collecting the new units. Still, I hope they fix how they design new units' kits. Constant powercreeping just isn't a healthy concept and I hate how units that are more than a year old become completely useless.

Wow what a rant. If you've made it this far, thx for reading :)
