They emphasized cosmetics in skins and finishers and map designs and failed to get the game play addictive.

And the volume of cosmetics far exceeded what players valued.

Matchmaking had too much friction. And there were no other game modes for people to simply learn how to play the game.

Rivals players would test it out, but go right back to Rivals where their progression was because it was also where they were the most comfortable and had the most friends playing.

Easy 3 skins every season. I just crossed into plat 1 by playing my 1 elo shielded game every day. No grinding required.

No reason why it should be the default color.

For me -

Finishers:
Darkheart - Finisher Pack 1
Bubble Ball - Summer chest

Wraps:
Neon lights, Strobe, Hologram, Plastic, Bright, Dark
Popsicle, fish scales - Summer chest

Charms:
UFO, Spaceship
Sand Castle, Soda pop - Summer chest

A concept for new contraband weapons for next season:
(Prime) Drone operator and the counter, (Contraband) EMP Pulse Rifle.

The concept of a drone operator would be that the player's body is stationary while they fly a drone that kamakazi's itself into the opponent. The drone would have 50HP so it could be shot down with other weapons, but it is small.

The EMP Pulse Rifle would be an electric pulse gun that can fire a wide area EMP that disables electric things like ER, Permafrost, Paintball, Satchel, EP, Exo, Warper, Freeze Ray.

My 3s team and I were gonna complete our 20-0 win streak.
My heart was pumping so fast.
Things were going in slow motion.
We were barely hanging on.

... then I realized that things weren't going in slow motion because of me, but ping up to 500...
My teammates were experiencing the same problem.
It was 3-3.
One teammate's device disconnected due to internet connection
It turned to 3-4.
Shit.
Lucked out with a double kill.
4-4
My device disconnected.

We went downstairs to get ice cream to console ourselves. We are gonna have to start our 20-0 ranked win streak all over...

Not some makeshift discord where you change your username, but a game feature where you join the clans in game.

This would allow clans to join clan servers, easily party up, and unlock a whole range of lobby interactions. Most other Roblox games have figured out how to implement it into their games already.

Ever since the birthday update where Arcade games removed task rewards, earning keys has been such a drag... Is there hope for things to get better?

Because it was 2-4 keys per match (8 minutes). Now, it is 3-4 keys per 12 matches (15-30 minutes)...

Most other top games have AFK areas that give you keys for AFKing on their game. With tasks disabled in FFA, getting keys in Rivals is pretty slow.
