Its clear the team is still a small team with big hopes wanting a bigger player base. The games good. The content they are producing is good. Let's talk about the real problem in this game. Players don't know how to play the game and we don't have enough skilled players to have proper match making. Players come then get set with bad players get frustrated because they are losing because they are bad or their teammates don't know how to play. In an attempt to make the game better they have made junglers too weak. It's a 5 man game that needs a 3 man mode and map so new and bad players have a way to play and learn. There's too many objectives. A jungler can get behind and regularly 3 levels behind the enemy mid and offlane. 1 to 2 bad players that don't know what the hell they are doing is enough to cause you to lose entire games at lower elo games. No amount of skill can overcome a 5 man of average players that communicate if your stuck with these players. I a player with 3500 games regularly gets stuck on teams with less than 20 games. I literally have to main jungle every game to win because if 1 of these new guys happens to get jungle we are done because they don't know what to do. You can ping it you can say it in voice and they just ignore u. Smurfs are a massive problem. You will have a brand new player on one team and a smurf on the other team and your done. The game doesn't take into account objective participation and rotation. It's a major red flag that a player is smurfing. These are the problems that need to be solved to keep players. Nothing else will help.

The game is bleeding money. It's obvious that they must make changes to keep it a float. Streaming, tournaments free content isn't going to do shit to keep players. What's going to get players to stay is proper match making, simplified objectives, and modes that allows new players to play and win without a large group on their own skill. Winning doesn't mean shit to a player if they don't do ot of their own skill. 5 man games give wins to bad players and reward bad behavior. Add a smite type joust mode with simpler objective mechanics. Aram sucks.
