New season, new heroes, new chaos, same old problem when dealing with cheaters because it’s not enough in banning all of them.
The game is fundamentally the same, with a new hero release schedule.
Let’s see how well this strategy pays off.
Rivals is maintaining a healthy player base despite the low quality gameplay.
Increasing the content rate is one way of keeping people engaged. Fixing the fundamental flaws is another way.
The first option is apparently easier.
Then your problem is with cheaters, not because the game hasn’t changed enough.
I’ve already kind of tuned out, I logged on to get the 5 gift loot boxes, got nothing I really liked, and hopped back off. It was nostalgic to play a few hours with old friends but I can already sense my tolerance of the game wearing thin. Despite some new faces it just feels largely the same and I’m just personally not that excited about it.
Maybe a new addition down the road gets me to check back in but I’m not optimistic.
