i think as community we just have to play non meta characters or at least more “unique” ones to spice up the games. If we all just do it we’ll end up eventually changing the game
Yah but kinda understand why they want to use only ex's cuz they spend about 3k for them + most players don't have that many characters and probably only save for ex's
People will always play meta in any form of competition game it will always be meta With people yes there will be People Like Us who play off meta but we are in the minority okay and the reason for this is because people are competitive I'm a competitive person I hate losing a lot so when I get on a losing streak you damn sure I'm going to start going meta pics you know because it's the only way for me to get that satisfaction of winning Which is sad
Play serious challenge which is locked to everyone being lvl 80, and none of the EX meta characters currently having score boost, and it is still all just G5, Big Mom, Klaw, and Zoro
If you’ve been playing for a minute you’ll know we’ve seen this coming since film red shanks. He was so overpowered on release every EX after him had to be better, this domino effect has led us to this garbage.
Average BF enjoyer 🍷🗿: 1. was that one guy that got Who'swho the moment he came out bc he knew he would chew up every Strawhat in the game. 2. was that one guy that played Kuma and still managed to win multiple matches in a row. 3. Waited for a BF counter after any Ex came out. 4. Only saved diamonds for characters he liked. 5. Used diamonds on characters he found interesting. 6. Most likely the one who gets MVP or clutch games. 7. Actually reads/watches One piece. 8. Did not care about your opinion on who to summon for whenever a new banner came out. 9. Manages to win with characters that aren't above lvl 80. 10. Would fight every Ex to prove his point. 11. Would let you 1v1 if your traits allow you to heal that way. 12. Would watch One piece streams for more than a character reveal. 13. Would let the defender have first flag. 14. Let runners take flags.
In lower ranks the meta doesnt even matter, it's the matchmaking system, in A- they'll put me (playing a boost 1, 4 star, old sabo) against a team full of 6 star EX's. Almost every match is fearsom foe, where my team will be at 100,000 and the opposite team will be at 170,000.
In lower league, you just gotta rat your way up with a good runner. To be fair, even in SS, you gotta rat for wins most of the time because people are also dogshit here(3k SS here). People are bad and it's mostly bots from D to S-. Unless you're g5 or big mom, playing as def in lower league, you're at a disadvantage
Well I am in S + And the craziest matchup i got was in S league We were with less than 100k I was at 38k ig one of was was with 17 18 k And the opponents were close to 200k 😂😂 They were destroying us with normals
I've been thinking the same thing. I'll be playing a maxed out Hyogoro in league and I can never stack up to any of the gear5s or kaidos or any of the meta characters. Maybe if Bandai made a ranked league mode and a casual league mode with no EXs it would solve it.
The solution is easier than you think,we just need to have ranked with maxed characters ...if you face max lets say green bull vs maxed g5 you not gonna get trashed like now when its your 5☆ boost 2 vs boost 4 6☆ g5...the issue is not the meta is the level of characters that is so unbalanced...in one piece fighting path you can solo a team with your so to say weak characters coz all stats are the same even super broken chars cant dominate that hard
@@なに-p3mSorry but the reason is stats the newer ex kits are a lot better than green bull or any bounty fest unit ever released therefore that maxed out league shit wont lead to a good outcome in fact it would make it worse.

If you talk about that, you might as well include medals and traits. 5* b2 Alber can still solos that g5 so can plenty if they play smart.

Or the extra medal with good traits, 54%+ att for example. I never had a hard time winning unless my team mates are absolutely dogshit ending the game with 1-2k battle scores, I'm currently in 3k SS and I still get that. There might be better of having two modes like op said or add duo queue/ team queues
@@mysteriousman5151 ye i was saving for either ex or bello betty/Alber/utas/klaw but that 7% chance was tempting so summoned 200 rds and got only diamante lmao
I genuinely think CB should have more challenges where they exclude EX's. I miss having the CB where you'd take all your units island by island because I actually saw ppl using BF's and step ups for the first time in ages.
Yeah fax you got a point a Love Stampede Sabo And Akainu, My favorite characters but un-useable because Akainu is pretty much countered by everyone and sabo just gets one shot by any character that ignores damage reduction or defense(almost every character played rn)
A good idea I got going in my head is that bandai should just release two separate league battle modes (unranked or even just a mode where EX characters are straight up banned) this would be a great change of pace where you could give these newer characters being released a chance to actually shine, granted people would still abuse alber and all of the other great BF's. But still just a thought of mine.
Without G5, Alber is not that much. Great BF but not as good. Cracker, Uta, Ulti, even Jack can put up a fight. Having said that, you are correct, we would get the new " meta " of BFs. But unless there is some unit who nullifies status effects, it will def be better. And OLD Units need buffs. At least speed up their normals. 😢
Maybe the best way is to matchmaking your choosing of characters if it was a step up than you should face only step up characters and just like that the meta is good again
matching for SS depends on league score so that's not going to change anything. when you get to mid-high SS, it just depends on players skills and knowledge but most importantly, it still takes at least 3 players to win a game. Meta or not, I see people still do absolutely dogshit with meta ex characters. I lost 12 in a row starting at 3.1k league score with players ending games with 1-2k battle score. Some dude got lucky yesterday winning with 2* Sanji with 400 battle score because I capped at the last second
2:50 the worst thing about this new meta that started from the 4th anniversary is that when they release a new op character they counter this character with another op character and other characters that’s way too powerful than the old meta, so any units doesn’t have this kind of traits they’ll die, and that’s why you can’t play with the old units even if some of them is not too old and released last year
Tbh the community is a huge part of the reason of this madness tbh, like literally everyone everywhere just telling each other to save and never summon on anything that's not a new ex and every bf is mid etc, they just worshipping exs like they're the only thing in the game
Blame the game. Not the players. Why would you summon on mid characters that will get you nowhere? What's the alternative? I am just going for my favs. For example, IDC about Black Beard. I will never summon or use him no matter how broken he may be.
I totally agree it can get kind of stale but this is literally how EVERY game with PvP ends up going, everyone just wants to use whatever is best in order to win, it’s unfortunate but just how it is. Even if there was a mode that banned EXs, people would just use the best BFs, I wish it could be fixed but I don’t even know where they’d start with it
That's why I want variety when I play old characters, they have interesting gameplay. The same Caribou has an interesting gameplay that is well suited for team play, but it is impossible to do anything in this meta.Why try, why think if you can take Zoro or Luffy, turn off your brain and just press buttons killing everyone
I used to be an S+ player but was inactive for a while recently and went down to A- and I was super surprised that even down there I’m mostly only playing against EX or hyper meta units
I have always said that 90% of Bounty Rush players are armless, too lazy to think a little and try to play on something else, only ex-characters, this community is incorrigible, the developers themselves are to blame In fact, every year they add more and more ex-characters, and each one is worse than the other, 100500 skills with invulnerability, 10000 skills with ignoring textures,All this allows you to simply turn off your brain and stupidly press buttons, even if you are a noob, you can simply beat a player who has been playing for 5 years, understands the game perfectly, and has good positioning But he's playing just a weak character that requires a little thought.
A big thing about the game is that once you reach SS, the meta becomes sweatier, meaning more and more people will use maxed out units. This means that it becomes very difficult to be a 5* unit. It's a big difference between 5* and 6*. EX units are also easier to cook with baseline.
yeah its true, I was baffled when they released gear 5 luffy, the whole game just revolves around "can your unit kill gear 5 luffy" if the answer is no then you won't win against gear 5 in ranked.
It’s even more offensive when you’ve been playing for many years, have the best support and medals, but you don’t play on broken characters. And newcomer Joy Boy D Shanks etc. comes without support, medals and just kills you because he has a broken character
I remember how the game was when gear5 was released and when it was released every match I played the enemy team had a lot of gear5 and I eventually went from league S+ to A- and it was devastating and I had like 1k diamonds and I still didn't get gear5 and I still don't have gear5 and I still don't have a single ex character and my main are Perospero and snakeman luffy and it took me like 2 whole months to get back to S+ league. 😢
It’ll be cool to see a improved rank system where the players can ban a character every game and matchmaking should be decided by the characters you play, like if you play bountyfests then you’ll get matched up with other people with similar characters. Maybe that’ll help out the meta especially for new players.
But what if i want to use 3* units but no one gonna use it? Am i gonna not getting matched up forever or i will be playing against exactly 7 same players forever?
You are completely right the game is not fun anymore, there is alot of character with unique skills and traits that i want to play but always get bully, finally quit the game after 4 years
I 101% agree with you on the meta thing. What's the point of having a good tough fight when the opposite team always has at least 1 g5 luffy, one ex Kaido, then Zoro , then shanks, and our team just has the usual bounty fest characters. Game doesn't even feel tough even when we lose coz in such situations, am not even able to think, how fast did we lose coz of these crazy ass characters in the enemy team. It's one side fights most of the time. Matchmaking should be at least based on similar skill level or characters each player from both the teams owns.
That boy low-key spent bout 40-50 on a ftp account just to make greenbull playable. I think that proves his point and maybe their motivations. They want you to get your ass kicked enough to loosen up your wallets
I got this problem for a very long time now even on B leagues theres a guy with 100+ hyperboost they shoud fix matchmaking between new players and old players whose rank is low,one more dodge is buggin even if u dodge at the right time u still get hit lol
I always enjoyed your vids Sol and you helped me get Zoro and play the meta when he came out but at least the meta back then was somewhat skill dependent. Albeit im not the best I know for a fact I would carry so many games FROM MY SKILL and with Zoro fading out of the meta and Runner king ditching the meta too it was nice to see AT LEAST SOMEONE was still getting use out of my team in your streams. Then Gear 5 came out and long story short I'm not coming back to the game untill we get a G5 counter. We've boycotted JP servers becuase of the hacker problem and now the payment we get is a fucked meta with five characters max being even playable, Not just viable as it use to be you just cannot touch the character if it isn't part of the meta. Just ranting to show support, Much love Sol! ❤❤❤
Hopefully they listen and do character based matchmaking some people bring 2* and 3* units to the game just to work on their hyper boosts but if we had character based matchmaking you can put them in games by themselves or with step up characters. All BF units stay together and all EX units stay together no matter how old or new
I think they should make more of those side event stuff auto leveled to 80 no medals all the time, and maybe ban ex in those events. Guarantee many people will still be able to enjoy the game and be able to play as non meta characters.
I only upgrade my ex's and the support characters others i don't even tuch even though i want to use them that's why i like the serious challenge battle i can try whatever i want with out having to derank from ss
Last video before they introduced green bull and momo I was complaining about g5 abusing lighting and basically making new characters irrelevant from how broken he is. However I feel like Momonosuke is a hidden Ex. His skill 2 because you can hold it, is very unpredictable and difficult to get a perfect dodge. He also boost flags above 100% just like Ex characters. It’s the zoros and shanks that you have to watch. But momo definitely feels like an ex. Even better than my zephyr.
Yesterday I played a match against 3 gear 5's and I kid you not every one of them threw bolts of lightning at me back to back on at least 3 respawns. I wanted the match to be over in a hurry.
@@haywoodlunsford4238 on the last video I was saying I don’t even understand why they gave luffy a skill that allows him to throw lighting as if he was amaru. In the anime kaido knocked him into a cloud then he grabbed onto a lighting bolt and threw it. He does not summon lighting at will like eneru. So they should make that skill some form of a counter so people don’t spam his lighting.
@@williamsjhamo Yeah I saw that comment in the other video. I get that he can grab lightning but why is it that half the time a gear 5 attacks me he always uses the lightning skills. He doesn't even spam it in the anime.
@@haywoodlunsford4238 I TOTALLY agree with you, he shouldn’t be spamming that move, the problem is in the game he summons a cloud reaches up inside the cloud and grabs a bolt of lighting when that’s not how it is in the anime. He should not summon random clouds. Only eneru and nami can do that. He bounced up into clouds that was already there.
8:17 Not the best choice cuz if for example you're the only gear 5 in your team and there's only one alber in the enemy team than just like that alber will only target you for the whole match + you will blame the person who doesn't do will against his victim
When firsts EX came out the meta got overwelmed with Shanks and Blackbeards. Although the next year with Oden and Roger I feel there was a lot of meta diversity and so many different characters. It started to get chaotic with film red Shanks, big mom, kaido and Zoro, and it has only gotten worse from now on. Funny thing, the more characters we get, the less diversity in league.
They just need to update characters, reworks to mimic meta character abilities, they can easily make Green Crocodile better with simply buffs that units that are brand new are use to.
I am using whatever gives me strongest team power. But I might try to change it away from my big mom and use other characters. Thank you for bringing this up. I will become mindful of how I play 😊
Ex characters are sometimes not even fun or fun to play for 1 hour like G5 who spams Lightning and Bajrang and who uses counter every times , Roger, Big mom who just stays at the mid and spams maser and Fulgora
I think a good rule bandai could add for league is to limit the usage of characters (see below) 1) you can use an Ex but your 2nd character can only be step up or cola 2) you can use 2 bounty fest characters That way it'll limit the ex abusers and allow people to try more step ups
So I’m a newbie to your channel but I have learned so much from watching you videos so thank you. I have a question did you change the game settings or is the settings default? Eitherway keep up the great up bro
I agree that they should limit each team for only 2 of the same characters, like only 2 G5 for each team for example. and have players force to play 1 of each role bcuz some players be having 2 attackers and ain't killing anyone or having 2 runners but doesn't cap flags.
Man i swear i thought i was the only one i couldn’t climb on ss league, its all about these gear 5 luffys. This meta is broken fr. We dont need a counter cuz then the counter will run the meta, everytime a new ex arrives destroys the game and the fun.
They should make 3 changes. - Make it so no 2 same characters can be on the field at the same time from the same team for example, there can be the same team with 3 gear 5s but only one person can start with it, and if someone dies and the gear 5 is still on the field, they have to wait the entire timer for the other character, this will basically enforce not having to fight multiple annoying characters at once, on the other hand it can make people mad because if they just use a preset team it can happen a lot of times that you just get teamed up with players who are also playing the same character, to counter that, the character selection timer can be increased and made into a whole team selector and let us have more preset team slots like 10 instead of 5 so that we have a support lineup ready for any team we play this way if someone lets say 'locks in' a team which is the same as your team you can choose a different character and vice versa. - Ex units are just better than bfs and step-ups, which is the bulk of the issue that bfs units though they look very strong in vacuum, just don't compare when pitted up against an ex unit. Bandai has to make a system to put restrictions over Ex characters while played in ranked, no restriction required while playing in challenges or some other casual mode. The restriction can be every player can only have 1 EX in a 2 team, or some thing like a team can only have certain amount of EX characters or just a like you can have a decked out max ex, but while in ranked it can be lvl 80 boost 2, tho i think that last one doesnt solve much. - Matchmaking, they need a better matchmaking system if they bring about any of the changes and I believe they should do Matchmaking based on both Characters and Total teampower rather than just team power, thats the big issue that you pointed out @Soul their should never be a game where the result is almost decided even before the match begins.
@@KamusariHR Team building will be separate for separate teams, your team will be able to bring 1 G5 and the enemy team will also just be able to bring out 1 G5 thats something the other team has to sort out, in who actually brings the G5
They should make good bfs that can actually go against ex pretty balanced 5,6 good bfs banners and game will be balanced again, more like they should give ex kinda weakness like bfs get extra team boost damage or stuff
8:50 lmao bandai needs to buff more characters so they can be *viable* in the meta, as well as limiting one ex to party or update the match making system
thought after i get my black maria to level 100 id be able to stand a chance but nothing changed gear 5 still kills me easily very boring game now so im prolly gonna quit soon wasted 340+gems and 1000 gold frags no results gameplay wise i feel all my hardwork went down the drain
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if this game was something like Smite or League where EVERY character was at least good and they did balance updates more frequently to help out those that might not be as good or nerf those that are too good. But this is a mobile game and it doesn’t work like that 😓
Green bull to counter gear 5 Momo to counter all animals pirate That's why they can't do much cuz the meta is at least better than shanks meta you always gonna see different characters
u should watch a hound video he is insane he can win a full match with only pudding and sanji and he has done alot of immpossible this even with this meta
i think as community we just have to play non meta characters or at least more “unique” ones to spice up the games. If we all just do it we’ll end up eventually changing the game

@@danialthomas5659 tbh raid brook is fun to use when u play people with no status nullification. I just keep freezing them and watch them suffer.
Yah but kinda understand why they want to use only ex's cuz they spend about 3k for them + most players don't have that many characters and probably only save for ex's
If it wasnt so dificult to level up characters maybe they would be more playable
People will always play meta in any form of competition game it will always be meta With people yes there will be People Like Us who play off meta but we are in the minority okay and the reason for this is because people are competitive I'm a competitive person I hate losing a lot so when I get on a losing streak you damn sure I'm going to start going meta pics you know because it's the only way for me to get that satisfaction of winning Which is sad

I used to be an S+ player but was inactive for a while recently and went down to A- and I was super surprised that even down there I’m mostly only playing against EX or hyper meta units
Skill Issue.
Yeah I was trying reroll and there were gear 5s in C
Imo, they should've never added units that could recover and capture treasure while other people are in the treasure area
eliminate infinite counter on normals and full-fledged double character in one as well n we should do a lot better
@sdd6440 That too.
I don’t know why we are crying about meta, there’s literally no game without a top meta. Maybe candy crush
All three pulls I could afford at the moment I got grove 32. All three times it was greenbull. I wanted momo. I'm sad now
Bruh gtfo lol, 5 pulls not a single green bull or momo..stay sad lmao
Crazy how even when you get lucky Bandai still finds a way to buck you
I have always said that 90% of Bounty Rush players are armless, too lazy to think a little and try to play on something else, only ex-characters, this community is incorrigible, the developers themselves are to blame In fact, every year they add more and more ex-characters, and each one is worse than the other, 100500 skills with invulnerability, 10000 skills with ignoring textures,All this allows you to simply turn off your brain and stupidly press buttons, even if you are a noob, you can simply beat a player who has been playing for 5 years, understands the game perfectly, and has good positioning But he's playing just a weak character that requires a little thought.
They’ve also really been buffing some old characters that made them runnable in the meta
Quick solution use any character you want with alber when you die use alber and humble the f out of them
Easy
My thing,tho the alber meta will change with next ex so still the problem persists
You got it
A big thing about the game is that once you reach SS, the meta becomes sweatier, meaning more and more people will use maxed out units.
This means that it becomes very difficult to be a 5* unit. It's a big difference between 5* and 6*. EX units are also easier to cook with baseline.
They should make 2 leagues, one that you can use EX units and the other league you can’t use the Ex units
yeah its true, I was baffled when they released gear 5 luffy, the whole game just revolves around "can your unit kill gear 5 luffy" if the answer is no then you won't win against gear 5 in ranked.
It’s even more offensive when you’ve been playing for many years, have the best support and medals, but you don’t play on broken characters. And newcomer Joy Boy D Shanks etc. comes without support, medals and just kills you because he has a broken character
May be they should have limit that ex can be used only 5 times per day kinda that helps other non ex players to play and reach their ss league
I remember how the game was when gear5 was released and when it was released every match I played the enemy team had a lot of gear5 and I eventually went from league S+ to A- and it was devastating and I had like 1k diamonds and I still didn't get gear5 and I still don't have gear5 and I still don't have a single ex character and my main are Perospero and snakeman luffy and it took me like 2 whole months to get back to S+ league. 😢
They should make a separate ranked mode for non ex characters with its own pass
This is exactly like I'm talking about everyone has so many broken characters I only got one ever 😭
They are both pretty good I guess, but i already spun Momonosuke on 2 accounts i'm just trying to get Greenbull
It’ll be cool to see a improved rank system where the players can ban a character every game and matchmaking should be decided by the characters you play, like if you play bountyfests then you’ll get matched up with other people with similar characters. Maybe that’ll help out the meta especially for new players.
But what if i want to use 3* units but no one gonna use it? Am i gonna not getting matched up forever or i will be playing against exactly 7 same players forever?
@@gtx7743not sure why would want to use a 3 star, Bandai always makes them bad
just like mobile legends
You are completely right the game is not fun anymore, there is alot of character with unique skills and traits that i want to play but always get bully, finally quit the game after 4 years
I 101% agree with you on the meta thing. What's the point of having a good tough fight when the opposite team always has at least 1 g5 luffy, one ex Kaido, then Zoro , then shanks, and our team just has the usual bounty fest characters. Game doesn't even feel tough even when we lose coz in such situations, am not even able to think, how fast did we lose coz of these crazy ass characters in the enemy team. It's one side fights most of the time. Matchmaking should be at least based on similar skill level or characters each player from both the teams owns.
Love ur vids man keep it up
That boy low-key spent bout 40-50 on a ftp account just to make greenbull playable. I think that proves his point and maybe their motivations. They want you to get your ass kicked enough to loosen up your wallets
I got this problem for a very long time now even on B leagues theres a guy with 100+ hyperboost they shoud fix matchmaking between new players and old players whose rank is low,one more dodge is buggin even if u dodge at the right time u still get hit lol
Watch this video when it Came out one minute ago
I straight up think there should be two separate leagues one open and the other bounty fest only would be so interesting to see bounty fest only meta
I always enjoyed your vids Sol and you helped me get Zoro and play the meta when he came out but at least the meta back then was somewhat skill dependent. Albeit im not the best I know for a fact I would carry so many games FROM MY SKILL and with Zoro fading out of the meta and Runner king ditching the meta too it was nice to see AT LEAST SOMEONE was still getting use out of my team in your streams. Then Gear 5 came out and long story short I'm not coming back to the game untill we get a G5 counter. We've boycotted JP servers becuase of the hacker problem and now the payment we get is a fucked meta with five characters max being even playable, Not just viable as it use to be you just cannot touch the character if it isn't part of the meta. Just ranting to show support, Much love Sol! ❤❤❤
Right on brother
These characters seem hella fun but like what soul said, with this meta these characters just can't be played
As an og player it was sad to observe the meta of ex taking over, miss when characters were more balanced and everyone was fun to use
even in CB where everything is fixed at 80, it's just a bunch of g5, klaw and zoro
i hate that mono uses that damn wooden sword
Bro with greenbull when you start to cap a flag just don't stop until knockback you can't die while caping it's broken ❤❤❤
Hopefully they listen and do character based matchmaking some people bring 2* and 3* units to the game just to work on their hyper boosts but if we had character based matchmaking you can put them in games by themselves or with step up characters. All BF units stay together and all EX units stay together no matter how old or new
I think they should make more of those side event stuff auto leveled to 80 no medals all the time, and maybe ban ex in those events. Guarantee many people will still be able to enjoy the game and be able to play as non meta characters.
I only upgrade my ex's and the support characters
others i don't even tuch even though i want to use them
that's why i like the serious challenge battle
i can try whatever i want with out having to derank from ss
Last video before they introduced green bull and momo I was complaining about g5 abusing lighting and basically making new characters irrelevant from how broken he is. However I feel like Momonosuke is a hidden Ex. His skill 2 because you can hold it, is very unpredictable and difficult to get a perfect dodge. He also boost flags above 100% just like Ex characters. It’s the zoros and shanks that you have to watch. But momo definitely feels like an ex. Even better than my zephyr.
Yesterday I played a match against 3 gear 5's and I kid you not every one of them threw bolts of lightning at me back to back on at least 3 respawns. I wanted the match to be over in a hurry.
@@haywoodlunsford4238 on the last video I was saying I don’t even understand why they gave luffy a skill that allows him to throw lighting as if he was amaru. In the anime kaido knocked him into a cloud then he grabbed onto a lighting bolt and threw it. He does not summon lighting at will like eneru. So they should make that skill some form of a counter so people don’t spam his lighting.
@@williamsjhamo Yeah I saw that comment in the other video. I get that he can grab lightning but why is it that half the time a gear 5 attacks me he always uses the lightning skills. He doesn't even spam it in the anime.
@@haywoodlunsford4238 I TOTALLY agree with you, he shouldn’t be spamming that move, the problem is in the game he summons a cloud reaches up inside the cloud and grabs a bolt of lighting when that’s not how it is in the anime. He should not summon random clouds. Only eneru and nami can do that. He bounced up into clouds that was already there.
Also I think removing the invincible on the skills on the ex units would balance them out but idk
8:17
Not the best choice cuz if for example you're the only gear 5 in your team and there's only one alber in the enemy team than just like that alber will only target you for the whole match + you will blame the person who doesn't do will against his victim
I think the worst thing in opbr is match matching, do i even stand a chance teaming up with 20s 30s lvl players against 100+ hb players?
Meta characters are the exact reason why I have restrictions placed on my profile in opbr and I can’t revoke them
Bandai should add the posiibility to farm gems. I dont know any game which is that p2w
Great videos man keep up the work
When firsts EX came out the meta got overwelmed with Shanks and Blackbeards. Although the next year with Oden and Roger I feel there was a lot of meta diversity and so many different characters. It started to get chaotic with film red Shanks, big mom, kaido and Zoro, and it has only gotten worse from now on. Funny thing, the more characters we get, the less diversity in league.
I do use big mom but I don't spam moves, I use them to prevent flag caps and I use my normals. And I want g5 to be a happy little man
They should make a mode something like only BFs with some great rewards
They just need to update characters, reworks to mimic meta character abilities, they can easily make Green Crocodile better with simply buffs that units that are brand new are use to.
They should add non ex game mode or you can takeout a specific characters for all your matches
"I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter......."
Momonosuke is a joke just like in anime ,lol
I am using whatever gives me strongest team power. But I might try to change it away from my big mom and use other characters. Thank you for bringing this up. I will become mindful of how I play 😊
G5 is probably the single biggest problem with the game, he's just completely unmanageable by 99% of units.
Like Shanks is not.
Or KLAW. Or the EXs that are about to drop. You can kill G5s even with Yasopp.
Hopping on bounty rush for the first time in a long time💯
Ex characters are sometimes not even fun or fun to play for 1 hour like G5 who spams Lightning and Bajrang and who uses counter every times , Roger, Big mom who just stays at the mid and spams maser and Fulgora
ong bro, like sometimes i make a metal set for a character i wanna test out just to get jumped by 3 rogers
I wish League Battle has an option where you can do fixed level.
I think a good rule bandai could add for league is to limit the usage of characters (see below)
1) you can use an Ex but your 2nd character can only be step up or cola
2) you can use 2 bounty fest characters
That way it'll limit the ex abusers and allow people to try more step ups
Good idea but I think the 2nd character should be anything but another EX
2 bf for example, alber and queen, that's still gg for most players. They are as good if not better than most ex
Yeah same issue entire meta is reduced to the same 4 or 5 top extremes who make unplayable the game unless you play them too
And makes the most unskilled players look like killers
I got momo first try and then got shafted which kinda sucks
So I’m a newbie to your channel but I have learned so much from watching you videos so thank you. I have a question did you change the game settings or is the settings default? Eitherway keep up the great up bro
I agree that they should limit each team for only 2 of the same characters, like only 2 G5 for each team for example. and have players force to play 1 of each role bcuz some players be having 2 attackers and ain't killing anyone or having 2 runners but doesn't cap flags.
I have been asking for character based matchmaking for a min that way the sweats play the sweats and casuals play each other
Now that I think about it, if we have Greenbull and Momonosuke now who are we getting for anniversary…..?
Man i swear i thought i was the only one i couldn’t climb on ss league, its all about these gear 5 luffys. This meta is broken fr. We dont need a counter cuz then the counter will run the meta, everytime a new ex arrives destroys the game and the fun.
In my opinion, they should put in a gamemode that only for level 80 and gamemode that only level 100 to be fair
Bandaid should so a League that doesn't have ex units available and it will show skill over relying on meta characters
There really good, but status effects are a dangerous thing for these two. Good Gameplay Soul💐🐉
They should make 3 changes.
- Make it so no 2 same characters can be on the field at the same time from the same team for example, there can be the same team with 3 gear 5s but only one person can start with it, and if someone dies and the gear 5 is still on the field, they have to wait the entire timer for the other character, this will basically enforce not having to fight multiple annoying characters at once, on the other hand it can make people mad because if they just use a preset team it can happen a lot of times that you just get teamed up with players who are also playing the same character, to counter that, the character selection timer can be increased and made into a whole team selector and let us have more preset team slots like 10 instead of 5 so that we have a support lineup ready for any team we play this way if someone lets say 'locks in' a team which is the same as your team you can choose a different character and vice versa.
- Ex units are just better than bfs and step-ups, which is the bulk of the issue that bfs units though they look very strong in vacuum, just don't compare when pitted up against an ex unit. Bandai has to make a system to put restrictions over Ex characters while played in ranked, no restriction required while playing in challenges or some other casual mode. The restriction can be every player can only have 1 EX in a 2 team, or some thing like a team can only have certain amount of EX characters or just a like you can have a decked out max ex, but while in ranked it can be lvl 80 boost 2, tho i think that last one doesnt solve much.
- Matchmaking, they need a better matchmaking system if they bring about any of the changes and I believe they should do Matchmaking based on both Characters and Total teampower rather than just team power, thats the big issue that you pointed out @Soul their should never be a game where the result is almost decided even before the match begins.
Ur first point wouldnt make much sense what if someone got 2 characters and the enemy too?
@@KamusariHR Team building will be separate for separate teams, your team will be able to bring 1 G5 and the enemy team will also just be able to bring out 1 G5 thats something the other team has to sort out, in who actually brings the G5
They should make good bfs that can actually go against ex pretty balanced 5,6 good bfs banners and game will be balanced again, more like they should give ex kinda weakness like bfs get extra team boost damage or stuff
That would ruin the point of exs. Why would anyone summon 3k on ex banner when they know they can get a bf who is just as good for just 500
@@Qasim.exe_ nah but whats the point of releasing bfs when ex crush them like little bitches😭
8:50 lmao
bandai needs to buff more characters so they can be *viable* in the meta, as well as limiting one ex to party
or update the match making system
thought after i get my black maria to level 100 id be able to stand a chance but nothing changed gear 5 still kills me easily very boring game now so im prolly gonna quit soon
wasted 340+gems and 1000 gold frags no results gameplay wise
i feel all my hardwork went down the drain
Anniversary is the only thing keeping this game alive
Instead of just new banner they should add more modes
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if this game was something like Smite or League where EVERY character was at least good and they did balance updates more frequently to help out those that might not be as good or nerf those that are too good. But this is a mobile game and it doesn’t work like that 😓
Green bull to counter gear 5
Momo to counter all animals pirate
That's why they can't do much cuz the meta is at least better than shanks meta you always gonna see different characters
u should watch a hound video he is insane he can win a full match with only pudding and sanji and he has done alot of immpossible this even with this meta
If only there is a league that ban the extreme character... That will be pretty good and we can use any char we want
W video as always my guy respect 🙏🙂
I hate the new ex ace and fox I forget
