Top 5 of How to Improve Kombat League
6 years ago
General
Heya buds. How are things going? I'm doing good here as well. I know it has been a long time since I've last written a journal, but I figured for this one, it's just for fun. ^^
Anyways, for this one, I figured it's a little something we talk about that is not what you buds expected. Now we've had our moments that some of the games has their moments of which it could've been better if they didn't add something that was unnecessary or needed something to help improve for the better, which I can understand depending, even though there are times that if there is something that's extremely bad that it can become... how do I say this, toxic that it made lots of the gamers that had to put up with this figure out better ways to help improve. So anyways, if you're unsure about Kombat League, it's a competitive online mode of which you battle online players to try to reach up to each tier to get lots of exclusive rewards. Now sadly, it can result to toxic due to many problems that it can spiral out of control. I know how that felt a lot after going through 5 seasons(and probably more on how good the rewards are). So here's my Top 5 of how the NRS(Netherrealm Studios) can improve the Kombat League without making everyone go into complete rage.
Number 5: Improving on Internet Connection.
To start off, you are waiting for someone to battle with, of course if the connection is down to caution, you can cancel it and go to another match just to help with that until you find an opponent that has good connection, which is fine. However, even with a best connection, there are moments that the ping gets too big that it may sometimes cause the lag, but at times, if you and your opponent are unlucky and got caught in a big lag, NRS could suddenly end up pulling the plug, causing the entire set to be no longer available. Now despite that, neither you nor your opponent will be able to take a win or a lose for that matter, so it can somewhat a blessing in disguise if you're the one that's losing. However, it can be a little bit frustrating. So if they can find a way to improve it without causing too much lag, things should be fine.
Number 4: Punishment for Glitching.
Now you're just only going through one of the matches like you're trying to get to a certain tier you need to reach or to complete a Season Challenge for a reward, but even when you had a tough match or a good match, when you are able to win, however, your opponent decided to play the waiting game by using a glitch, which causes you and your opponent to not go anywhere, in thus, waiting for you to quit the game if you're not patient enough or you have something you have to do. That is a complete disgraceful way for someone to resort to something like that. Now fortunately, that "glitch" has been patched up to make sure it doesn't happen again, but if it doesn't, then I would recommend punishing the person who uses the glitch by giving them a time out. Now even though it's not much, but the more the player uses that glitch, the more time it will extend on the punishment up to hours and even days to the point that it'll cost the user of the glitch points for not being able to play. Now it may be a cruel punishment, but it would set them on one lesson. Don't be the guy that uses the glitch, otherwise, if you're trying to get that certain gear or skin by using that glitch, then you might as well have to kiss that goodbye for now until you're ready to play how you normally play.
Number 3: Improve on Matchmaking.
Now there are matches that can work in your favor while some that can work against you as well. For example, you could be facing an opponent that's from a higher tier to gain more points while the one that's at a higher could be as risk of losing more points as well. Now imagine what would happen if you're climbing at the top like a Grandmaster tier and then all of a sudden, you're facing against a Apprentice tier player, which in thus, causing so much problems. I've had that happen about a couple of times, but not too often. Nonetheless, it can end up representing a problem a lot there. Sure that the lower tier player will gain a lot more, but it can really hurt a lot more than bargained for. So it's fine that you could end up facing someone that's at a lower tier or higher tier, but in my opinion, NRS has to improve on the matchmaking so that way they don't end up causing so much bad matchmaking skills that one of the players will see this as NRS' excuse. Most importantly, the best way to do so is to make sure that bring out a lower or higher tier player only if there's not a single one that's around in the same tier as yours to make sure that everyone has a fair chance.
Number 2: Giving Players to Decide the Rewards.
Now I can imagine everyone is praying to know which gears or skins, but most importantly, the skins of your favorite fighter is gonna be brought up to once the new season begins. Now sometimes there are reasons why some are put up to the top due to that some of the characters are just either too good or just resorts to spamming a lot, which I can understand why NRS did this just to make the worst of the toxic players work for it, even though sometimes it works, but sometimes it just doesn't work. Now if your favorite character's skin is at the very top, you didn't wanted that to happen, right? So my best suggestion is that if you participate, NRS should give you the players to decide which skin you wanted the most. So like for example, if you have reached a certain tier or finished all of the Season Challenges, you once again get to choose which skin you want next because of something that is stylish or something cool that you would like to see the most. So if NRS can give the players to decide which skins they want for competing and so on and so forth, it'll make things a lot easier, especially for casual players as well.
Finally, Number 1: Make the Skins/Gears available in Towers of Time or for Purchase.
Now as I mentioned that there are players that would like to get all of the skins and probably the gears, but the only way to get them all for each season is to go on a long climb full of hardships, trials, and errors with practice, to reach up to Demigod tier, which can be extremely painful and very stressful that the players will have their moments that they're unsure to keep going. Not to mention that each is limited until each season is over while the rewards are exclusive, so it's like once time is up, you can't get those skins or gears ever again. But if it's the only way for it to improve greatly is to seriously take lessons from Crash Nitro Fueled for example, once Spooky Grand Prix began, you can get the stuff that you missed from the first Grand Prix. So if they expect to make it better, they have to put the skins and gears in a Special Premier Tower based off of which Season of the Kombat League so that way they have a better chance to get all of the stuff that they can gather without having too much stress or at least put them up available for purchase for you to buy, so that way they don't have to deal with it. Although the only possible way for everyone to get all of the skins and gears is to do the same just ever since Injustice: Gods Among Us, is to wait for months and months until by the time everything is done, they'll release a complete version of Mortal Kombat 11 to get all of the skins and gears, even from the Kombat League itself, and then everything should be all set(even though it may seem like it's not earned, but it's the only way for those that waits super patiently and have many other stuff to do).
So anyways, that's all of my Top 5 of how NRS can improve the Kombat League. Hopefully things will work out for the better with lots of hugs to those that had to go through serious shell in the Kombat League if you competed in one. Anyways, until then, hope you buds have a nice time, and lastly... if NRS brings Friendship finishers in, it would banish the toxic community even further with laughs. Anyways, hope you buds have an awesome time and stay determined. (my tail wags) ^^
