  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the stability of the daily challenge system, noting that the time investment required to complete certain tasks, such as using 50 global freezes or heals, feels disproportionate to the rewards offered. Many find it more efficient to engage in other game modes for better loot, leading to dissatisfaction with the challenge's design.

    • “The daily challenge is a problem; when you need to use 50 global freezes or 50 heals, you have to play 5 games to complete it, which takes about 2 hours if you skip boss fights. You only get a tier 2 chest for that effort. Why would I want to do that when I can spend 30 minutes in a nightmare desert and get a tier 3 chest?”
    • “The game crashes frequently during crucial moments, making it frustrating to progress. Stability is a major issue that needs to be addressed.”
    • “I often experience lag and disconnections, especially during multiplayer matches. This instability ruins the overall experience and makes it hard to enjoy the game.”
