Greetings fellow ninjas, today I wanted to open up this can of worms that has been discussed amongst other forum posts so I will make this brief. But considering the new spring event has come in, part of the challenges and one of the medals to reach Six Paths rank in Decisive Bonds and win so many times. So I figured now would be a good time to bring this up now that it has started to gain some traction again because of this. I am going to stress that a lot of these points have already been brought up but they have yet to be fixed so I will touch basis on them briefly.

1) My BIGGEST complaint about mode which ties into point #2 is those who carry lesser powered players on their backs into victory. I'm sure those of you who have played this game mode already have encountered this, but those of you who have not, let me explain. Basically a common issue you might come across is when you fight against a player who lets say has 350k BP and you and your partner have about 170k each. But the 350k has a teammate that has 90k BP and is one a much lower rank th*l 3 of you. You & your partner are Kage rank, 350 big boi is Six Paths, and 90k is maybe jonin/anbu. Naturally, unless you get very lucky or big boi messes up big time, you are going to lose, after which you just lost 13 points that you spent the last hour grinding to get with your partner against equally tough and similar powered players as yourself. This is my biggest issue with this mode, there NEEDS to be a limit on how much of a power difference a person can team up with to do bonds with, because as it stands this makes the game unplayable for me and those I play with. I believe a 50k difference in BP should be the limit that needs to be initiated to counter this problem and make the mode (slightly) more fair. I understand wanting to help out a teammate but when I get put against a 500k+ opponent and someone with 150k and I lose or have to retreat and just lost 10-13 points because of a match I had NO chance against, then there is a major flaw with the mode. Unfortunately this will fall on deaf ears and Oasis/Tencent will never do anything about this because the big wallet warriors are having a great time, so the only thing I can suggest is that any of you who are reading this, please do not carry in this game mode. I understand that anyone below 100k is going to be at a MAJOR disadvantage but you carrying them to a free win means they didn't earn it and you just made life hell for everyone you're beating, so keep that in mind.

2) Matchmaking at its best will put you against some team of similar power. How often does this happen? Not very. Most often then not the matchmaking is unpredictable at best and is just a broken mess that is worst than Matsuri's RNG matchmaking. More often than not you will end up fighting a LOT of the same teams over and over again, including the forementioned problem of #1 above (Fighting blue whales carrying baby belugas multiples times). This needs fixing bad, its just not good. But im not the first or last that will say matchmaking is borked for this mode and I somewhat get that not a lot of people play this mode but if your honestly telling me the big blue whale with the baby beluga is the only one playing when we've faced other teams before then you are straight lying to my face.

3) Edo Hiruzen teams


Thats it, there isn't really anything else that irks me about the game mode besides point 1 and 2, 3 being an annoyance that you should all know of. Let me know your experiences below and if you agree/disagree with what I've said. Thanks for reading and best of luck in your matches.

Glad to see this thread getting some attention guys and just to put things in perspective I am actually the strongest player on my server sitting at around 243k BP on average and I team with the 2nd strongest from my group who's at about 223k on average. So power isn't really a problem for us, neither is synergy we just end up getting paired against a LOT of 350k+ players with their alts or someone low and we end up losing all our points that we spent the past 20 minutes getting. To be specific yesterday we went in and I had about 578 points, only about 11 points off from reaching Six Paths rank, at the end of that day I ended up with 543 points. A lot of it is running in lower powered players who instant retreat and getting 3 points or having a decent even battle and earning the same and then losing it all to the the big bois, and then we get matched against them again, even after waiting a good minute. Its essentially a 1 step forward 2 steps back kind of situation.

Correct. Only reason me and my partner are even trying is because of the new Spring Festival put in place in which one of the medals is to reach Six Paths rank at least once. After that it doesn't matter.
