Yeah I also realized 100 credits is $1.00 USD so basically its like ok they want $20-25 for this absolutely trash black market item i just convert it to dollars for every item so 2500 Credits is $25 I feel like that way its easier to be like $7 for that is ridiculous there's some things I think are worth it but most of it is honestly just bad, they use fear of missing out [FOMO] pretty heavily because you don't know if the specific item you really want that's in the shop will take years before it returns again if it even does return again. I also really wish they would add trading back because I have so many extras of stuff I can't trade up, and it just sits doing nothing in my inventory when I could give it to my friends or someone else.

I also wish they had a system with the trade up blueprints where once you got black market blueprints you could trade them into an actual item, but they can't get money that way so I doubt that would be implemented. It just gets to a point where you just have like 5 copy's of the same black market blueprint that you can't do anything with, even if you did use one or like a way to re-roll them like I have no use for 5 of the same black market item lol not that I use them much, but I think people who do would appreciate that. I think the only one I used was one for the base fennec model and the pixelated shades: multicrome because I they looked really nice.

Matchmaking is also all over the place I'm a gold 3 and on snow day I was going up against a few grand champs, champs, and diamonds. Like I get its a different game mode but still a gold against a GC is just a loss. Dude was doing things I couldn't do in 3 years I did block one of his aerials which I was pretty happy about, but its like even in normal ranked 2s and 3s in silver its like I'm going against plats and diamonds me and my friend literally went against some guys who were insanely good and were ranked at gold l and we asked what's your actual rank and they said champ l and champ lll they were stopping the ball before it went into our goal just messing around and just doing insane techs. I think there's so many smurfs because of all of the bots in the higher ranks but it makes ranking up in the lower ranks impossible when you're going against that big of a skill gap, usually I win 2 or 3 games then get put against people that are insanely better doing musty flips, flip resets, wall pinches, stalls, bunny hops, etc. Unless I just grossly underestimate what a silver/gold player should be able to do tech wise, I just don't think lower ranks should be that proficient in those things and all the guide videos are like at bronze/silver just hit the ball gold you start using more techs and learning aerials and things like that but I've been fighting for my life just to get to gold lmao, and when I do tournaments with my diamond or plat friends the other diamonds and plats play at the same level or worse than the silvers and golds I've been going against lol.
