New update, a few steps forward, wayyy too many back
Honestly, this was quickly becoming my favorite game ever. Now I fear I will slowly lose interest. *you guys* "but it's only been out for few hrs bleh bleh" "bleh bleh laning" "bleh bleh traditional moba" miss me with that. What made this game fun was it's fast paced unpredictability. The issues and why
- the fact the inhibitors can't respawn basically
-orb prime carrier has the power ???
This game is already designed so the best team wins almost all the time. But what made it awesome was that a team could make a late push or a great defensive stand and turn the game around. Like an actual contest of any sort in any area of life. I've dominated games and I've been I. The other side of that. I've wongames early, lost them late, it was unpredictable and that was exciting. But with this, basically once a team gets the upper hand, it's just OVER. You're basically giving them the game for a few correct decisions. Sometimes(most of actually) OP buff isn't a wise choice. But now, it's damn near impossible to lose that thing mid delivery, unless your team is TRASH. And most of the time the ony team that goes for it already has the advantage, so they're guaranteed the game. Especially if inhibs are down. And if that same sitch is reversed, you have to make a desperation ill-advised attempt at it to MAYBE save the game. Stupid. And even then, that team behind should have to EARN it by dropping it off without the power.
Onto the future with the fast travel thing, if you feel the need to rid the game of one it's best most unique features, think about it first, or compromise. It should either be restricted to just lanes or just jungle.
Bottom line you had a perfect game and you're slowly messin it up. I don't know you try to fix what isn't broke. I don't see the logic in making a unique game and then changing it to adhere to the clowns complaining about how it's not the same as other games.
Maybe contemplate making multiple game modes?
@LonGo_music, I'd have to disagree with you one this bud. The reason fast travel is being taken out of the game is because of the 4-5 Man death balling. In this most recent patch they implemented the changes to the CXP system to try to prevent players sticking together all game. Sadly, i've played at least 10 games on the new patch to know that it still occurs. This game is still in Beta and a lot of changes are going to take place. You need to be patient and just go with the flow of the game. You stated many things in regard to the Prime Orb. Next patch, once a team defeats the Prime Orb Monster they have 3 options. One, the carrier of the orb can hold it to have the buffs for himself. Two, the carrier can return to their base and turn the Orb into a (Unknown spot atm), where it will return all of the destroyed Inhibs on your team. Third, dunk it into the Orb Pit and all of your teammates receive the buff. So, don't just bash a game just because they released one patch you don't agree with.
Please feel free to tell me how you feel,

First off, thank you for your response. But I mean, I know they're gunna change things, that doesn't mean they have to change they whole style of play for a game that was already perfect(almost) idk like I get trying to stop the death ball but there's way to counter that without the changes that I feel we're too much. I feel and respect the points you made but most of them didn't really coincide with what I stated. Like I'm not complaining about card ex share, that's a needed small tweak that doesn't alter the overall strategy. But I stand by the validity of my other statements. If you really read, I didn't "bash" the game, I complimented the hell out of it and just voiced concern, valid concern, about the game style direction. I'm still gunna play the game(for now) and from what I can tell, still gunna smash on cats, just not gunna be as fun.
@LonGo_music, I just don't understand how you think these updates ruined the game. I personally think the game was broken before these changes were implemented. Death balling has slowed down which is the biggest concern right now. It was too much call of duty style for some players.but, instead of the whole team getting fed just one player is going to be really fed now because the killer receives 100% of the CXP. And no problem for responding I like discussing people's point of views.
I don't think it was ruined. I just feel that if the death ball was the main focus, I don't feel the inhib changes and OP changes help that. I actually feel like it increases the motivation for it. A team can squad a lane, take down the inhib and then the games pretty much done. Idk I feel like the games are going to be wayyyyy to predictable and one sided. I think th CXP was a good enough solution for the ball, cuz there was already was to counter the ball to begin with. You just needed to have a good team, which you get play playing and networking. Like I said, appreciate your insight and opinion. And honestly i just felt like, people voicing opinions is how these changes happen, so I felt like I had to voice my opinion, for feedback(and yes to vent haha) cuz I mean, I'm not on your level, but I've played the game a lot, gotten damn good, so it's not like I'm talking outta my ass totally. I haven't even struggled playing with the update, it just hasn't been as fun. But I feel like these changes came from the opinions of the masses that struggle at this game and I'm just REALLY over videos games making drastic game play or mechanic changes just to appeal the a wider crowd and make more money
@LonGo_music, did you see a match where a team was able "squad a lane, take down the inhib and then the games pretty much done"? If you could share a replay ID that would be great. I'd love to see how it did work out.
@LonGo_music, first things first, they didn't make these changes because the minorities were begging them to. It needed these changes because the game was so broken. It was more like call of cuty style running around killing eachother. They're trying to make it more of a moba. Also, they didn't make these changes to make more money, if you can't tell this game is becoming free in August and many invite codes have been awarded. I understand you might not like it at this moment but you have to keep in mind this game will overcome many changes over the next couple months just be patient.
Thanks for the feedback,
SmokeyJay
I can share you videos of like 5 straight games of the oppent team death balls ALLLLLL game. Look I am by far not the only one saying these things, actually everyone I play with is saying the same things and experiencing the same things. The reality is, your reasoning was to stop the death ball, it increased. It's ok to say it's not workin and that improvements should and will be made. I just happen to be he person that cares enough about the game to come on here and say something. A friend had a great suggestion, might be the only solution. If there's more than 3 players in a kill, NO ONE gets ANYTHING.
After further review, NOW I'm saying this game is broken. This is a joke. Not to mention, the hit detection has gone complete garbage especially in and out of fast travel. Well, it was fun while it lasted, congrats you are now officially the Bo Jackson of videogames
