I hope this post is still allowed as League of Legends is like 15 years old.
As I’ve been posting on [email protected] , the game seems getting quite enshittified lately, making especially difficult for new players to join.
As a potential consequence, the game got quite difficult lately. Before, you could still win a game as a casual player. Nowadays I feel like casual players left and there’s only “serious gamers” around, especially in 5v5 normal games.
Anyway, all of that to say that Marvel Rivals has been on my radar as a replacement. Not the biggest fan of hero shooters, but gameplay seems fun and engaging. Is anyone here playing it?
I played for a bit. Then i read an article about them putting you in bot matches if you lose two consecutive matches. Then i tested if it was true and once i confirmed it was i stopped playing.
I don’t mind playing against bots to learn the game if that fact is stated. I do mind being lied to about a game in which i think i’m playing against humans when in reality i’m playing against bots just to keep engagement up.
Heard about this as well, that was surprising, probably a way to let people win after two losses
Yeah, it’s to keep people from tilting and quitting the game. The bots are easy so if you give someone an easy win after two losses they are more likely to keep playing which raises engagement.
I don’t fuck with that type of business model.
