I'll admit, that was a poor choice of words on my part. I just meant it'll probably not be addressed because Frank views it as a strategy.
In fact, I don't and I avoid Solo SD as much as I can because of it. 🤷♂️
When I talk about this topic I typically talk about the fact that there's no concensus on the topic. Not within the dev team and not within the community either.
Why is that? By definition the ultimate goal of Battle Royale is to be the last person standing. There are no caveats to this. So if Showdown is a BR mode, shouldn't that be the goal?
And if that's the goal - wouldn't teaming be a strategy?
Once again, I personally (as a player) don't like teaming. It's infuriating and annoying.
We've tried different alternatives to see how the community actually reacts to changes - not the vocal minority on socials, but the actual lion share of our community based on ingame behavior.
Showdown+ yielded minor improvements on teaming but on high levels (800+) teaming was as present as in regular SD but people were able to gain more trophies. Also after an initial update,...

Wait, I got a question pls. I created my account when I was 16 so I set my age as 16 but now I'm 18 and some features are still locked for me like not being able to chat after using the LFT button. Is there a way to update or change the age? I've tried contacting support but I didn't get a response...
All features should be enabled if you are 16 years old, they are only blocked at 13 (and below). The LFT doenst allow chat as well… the only way to chat with them is if you add them as friends
YES! Asphalt 9 has this so that you'll know when someone is lagging or has poor connection. I'm tagging Dani on this, hope he sees it
We believe a system that track reports will kind have this mapped out… people will report others for any possible reason, so a couple of games shouldn’t cause you any problem. But if you do have connection problems in every single game, then the report might make sense actually 😅
