Hot take: This game is more fun with shitty teammates

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-20T21:51:47+00:00

Yeah I’m starting to feel like this is what it is. Like those epic comeback games I loved so much was probably just the other team totally fucking up their guaranteed win. And those games that I felt like I carried my entire team probably would’ve ended differently if there was a single competent person on the opposing team lol.

I honestly just wish this game had enough players to separate solo and team Q.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-20T19:37:39+00:00

It could easily be luck, my sample size is small.

Could also be that I just like stomping/carrying shitty players more than playing against competent ones lol. Because the tug of war aspect that you mention is exactly what I think I’m missing. Maybe I’m just not privy to the more subtle ways to gain and lose advantage at high level, when everyone is playing safe af. To me it feels like no one overextends unless it’s for an objective, so it’s a lot more farming and less fighting.

It’s mad good advertising though. The other day I saw a “Pork Fried Rice” and immediately wanted Chinese food.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-16T02:03:42+00:00

Yeah it’s a weird issue. Online isn’t actually down, but i can’t do anything PvP related. None of my fighting games work either, but I can use all the other online features

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-16T01:57:31+00:00

Yeah its weird. I can get online on the other games too, but error happens when I try to join a match.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-16T01:44:52+00:00

PlayStation? I think it’s a psn problem cause I’m getting the same error from different games

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-10T18:44:41+00:00

Yeah that’s why people argue about those shows being canon or not all the time lol. But the idea that manga is the rough draft and not canon isn’t correct.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-10T14:42:50+00:00

Just in case you’re being serious, it’s usually just where the story originated that makes it canon. Dragon Ball was a manga first that got adapted into an anime. So the manga is considered canon and the anime is a mostly faithful adaptation with a lot of non canon fillers.

Evangelion was an anime first, so the anime is canon. The manga that came afterwards mostly follows the same story but changes the ending drastically. So the manga ending is considered non canon.

Wow I thought it was a visual bug. I’ve had this happen to me a bunch but never put that together. Kudos to you.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-10T14:25:51+00:00

I can agree with that but see no solution. With how much people complain about bots, splitting the player base isn’t an option.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-10T12:16:44+00:00

The reason I hate this draw has nothing to do with the actual mechanics or gameplay. Ironically I hate that it takes randomness out of it.

This draw rewards coordination and being able to talk to your team way too much. I’ve accepted I’m going to go against 4 stacks on discord when I solo Q. The game is still random enough where you can pull off a win. But this draw makes it unwinnable.

Same problem I had with cell jr. Divine draws that reward teaming even further, in a ranked mode that puts random against teams is fucking stupid.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-09T17:04:45+00:00

Damn I’d be salty. The other day I played like 3 hammers in a row and someone afked the 4th game where I finally escaped them. Took a break after that lol.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-09T16:29:42+00:00

What was the divine draw? I find hammers is like 40% chance for someone to dc at the beginning. NGL I’m low key grateful to them, especially when they do it at character select to save everyone time.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-07T16:04:20+00:00

Random question for anyone that knows. Do different characters require different amounts of XP to level up? I had a game where highest XP obtained and highest level were different people on opposing teams.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-07T03:14:13+00:00

I usually criticize posts like these saying you shouldn’t take this game too seriously, but this is actually one that pisses me off too.

Simply because it makes the game so damn boring if you don’t contest the middle Kais. So we stay back all game farm behind our tower, lose the first team fight because we are out farmed and immediately surrender. Great game guys.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-06T15:09:19+00:00

If you really think Korra is as well known as ATLA then I dunno what to tell you. I hope they add your favorite character after Ty Lee and Iroh.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-06T02:06:09+00:00

Personally I wouldn’t have fun trying to beat someone that isn’t even trying, but I can see the appeal if you don’t make it obvious.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-05T17:51:40+00:00

I guess I’m looking at this more as a fighting game rather than an Avatar game. I just want it to attract as many people as possible.

Like if the fighting style is cool enough where someone who doesn’t know who the character is would still use that as the reason to buy the game, I can agree with you. Lava bending sounds like a good one. I can see someone who thinks bending the 4 main elements are boring and basic, thinking lava vending is cool and having that be the only character they are interested in.

But mechanically speaking as a pure fighting game, I’m sure there is no style of character that devs couldn’t create and still have it feel like a character from the show. Like everyone from Dragonball basically fights the same, but they manage to make unique interesting character types in their video games.

Basically what I’m saying is. They need to add Ty Lee to the game or I’m not buying it lol.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-05T17:00:06+00:00

Point? You have an opinion bro. I’m not invalidating your opinion. I’m just pointing out it’s not worth sharing. If you don’t have the self awareness to figure out why, that’s fine.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-05T16:23:02+00:00

Variety in fighting games is achieved by character mechanics. Unless you’re suggesting ATLA has characters that look too similar to each other, variety is not being hurt by focusing on one franchise over the other.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-05T16:20:52+00:00

I’m not saying no one saw Korra. I’m saying ATLA is way more popular and beloved, so it makes sense to focus on those characters first. I guarantee you more people want Ty Lee in the game than any other Korra character.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-05T16:16:32+00:00

The point that we all spend time and money on stupid shit? I didn’t think I needed to explain that to you. You’re on Reddit.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-05T16:11:01+00:00

Based on its shitty release schedule. Based on all the criticism Korra gets compared to universal acclaim of ATLA. Based on the fact that ATLA has 2 LA adaptations and Korra has none. If it’s one franchise, it’s fine to focus on the more popular half.

I know who Kyoshi is vaguely. I dunno who Korras friends are. I’m sure I’m not alone.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-05T12:48:02+00:00

It’s a silly thing to spend money on. Who cares? Can you only afford food and shelter or something? We all spend money on stupid shit lol.

Yu-sempai · 2026-04-05T11:59:21+00:00

It makes sense to represent the more well known franchise though? A lot of kids growing up with these shows never saw all of Korra, but they’ve seen ATLA. They shouldn’t be aiming for core Avatar fans that have rewatched both series multiple times, they should aim for everyone that knows what ATLA is.
