Life has been busy so I've fallen off my GB grind lately. So happy to get back to this site and see content I didn't know I needed. Love this damn site!
@brad L Miller is indeed not you, he's me (Logan). We met at the Apex event in LA a few weeks ago. Great meeting you and awesome to see you guys dropping back into some TF2! Glad to hear y'all are loving Apex too.
PS: That sad sad leaderboard time is not my real time. I just have to put that out there.
This will probably be $5 on iphone instead of $15 like it is on Switch; and without any permanent progression hooks, $5 seems like the right price to me!
I have never asked for those two words GB hates to hear, and would never want to play this game, but after hearing Jeff and Vinny back on a Persona game together, I would love an _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
Hoping they get skill-based matchmaking in soon. I probably win 24 out of 25 matches. The surprising thing is that the community seems to be so awesome that even when you're stomping someone they'll keep playing you over and over. I guess trying to get better by learning how you play? Whatever the reason, it's cool that people seem to enjoy the game and are polite with the in-game quick chat even when they're getting thrashed.
There is no skill-based matchmaking currently. The stats are tracked, but it's not implemented yet. This will be one of the first things they enable. It really is only 2 guys making the game, and they've already had a number of patches. I'm willing to bet it happens soon, as the skill chasm is already starting to grow and it's going to affect people's enjoyment.
I'm loving this game so far. The match lengths are perfect, and it has the "just one more game" addiction going on. Really, really impressed.
There's no rubberbanding. It's kind of awesome, actually. The longer a rally goes, the more points winning that rally is worth. So it can make for some really exciting comebacks. I don't believe the game ever actually teaches you that, which would probably be a good thing for them to do.
