Boosts

Unknown

9 times out of 10 I don't even use them. I always liked challenging puzzle games, and boosts just take so much away from the game for me. Obviously, I use them for quick wipes around the end of tournaments to get into whatever prize group I want to be in, but its so cheesy. I don't think they should be removed. Don't think that's what I'm getting at. I'm mostly ranting about how boring it feels to run them. They're great for new players who don't have much. I certainly wouldn't have won the x force wolvies or IM40s i have with my IM35 cstorm venom widow juggs teams without them when I started. It would be cool of there were Events where they were not allowed though. Both PvP an PvE. Picture some level 150+ hammer guys with a overleveled rag and you can't use boosts. I personally think that'd be fun as hell. Anyone else? And yes. I can just do that anyway, and I do. But a tournament with no boosts and limited characters would be a pretty fun competition.

they would be good for pve events if they actually required them and weren't so grindy in nature.

right now to win a pve event you basically have to play like, 1000 games. if you're at the tipping point of winning or losing and need boosts to win, this means for them to have an effect you need to use them like 200 times on whatever the hardest repeatable is. good luck selling that.


I'd think about buying a boost if it reduced my grind. Right now it does absolutely nothing to reduce the grind, because the entire event is about grind. So I don't really care for the boost.

The funny thing is there is a very fine line between getting pummeled and a match being a cakewalk because of how powerful the abilities are. I admit, I've probably relied on them too much, but I use them a lot unless I'm farming iso.
