Rant about the elo system

Before we start i don’t hate vetex ok? Cool.

holy shit i’ve tried the elo system as a australian pvper and i got to say what the FUCK was that let me just start first it works completely fine but I picked a preferred region which is AUS because i am AUS and you know what they put me in? US, France and fucking GB or whatever it is.

I probably wont return to the elo system until I find a reason for this but every 1v1 i fought in elos I am always at 300+ ping and hitboxes were very jank. Thanks for listening to my rambling cya.

On the behalf of the AUS pvp community

Again this isn’t doomposting I just want AUS servers to exist in ELO first

i imagine the issue is that it’s searching for the nearest/best possible match rather than only matching with aus servers. second issue would be that there’d be like 2 aus pvpers on matchmaking rn, which is kinda disappointing since im also aus, but maybe it’ll increase after people arent after only dragon hunting

Now that i think about it, its more of a roblox fault as they are in charge of having aus servers

surely at least the ranked pvp will wake up the balance team on how op fs are, cause 80% of the people i fight are fs

that’s the thing
for 1v1 pvp, fighting styles are really good, but for anything else, they’re pretty underpowered, so balancing them properly is really difficult

ima keep the post on topic so im not gonna reply after this but i hard disagree, fs are good in pve too

the problem is that ao is a tiny game and theres like 4 aus pvpers
queue just doesnt have the servers to work with

u get non AU servers

i set my prefered region to EU and i get

Strange look idk i always get aus usually unless its like 9-12 am on week ends and 5-10 pm on weekends

gotta love when im off-region, someone used storm of arrow, it ended, visually, i dashed in and 2s later i got the full dmg

Are the visual hitboxes in elo fights weird for you?

yeah, especially the gun, like the moments i was clearly pointing at my opponent and the game said im aiming at said person, just to miss its crazy but at this point it doesn even hide it, 45 degree difference 3 times in a row


gl, gg, he is clearly the better gunner, at least the fs streak stop


the lose streak eneded on a fs

Damn that was me lmao the off region ping being at 300-500 pmo

but anyway i’ve been running into metal mages and aoe oracles off region so the elo lb is like the bounty lb ngl (atleast atm)

ive done a few matches, in my experience i get a decent amount of aus servers.
i think it might be dependent on like, what region the other guy is, and potentially how good your pc is? since you load in faster.
im saying that bc i tried doing it with my friend, region set in asia, (friend is using a laptop and im on pc), and we got only aus servers

also i genuinely got whiplash the first time i got into a match with how smooth the fps was :sob:

lmao yeah i have a love-hate relationship, its closer to pre reflexes, at least for me pvp used to he smooth or the lack of mobility (more bc we weren’t that aware of it) disguised the low fps but also it became such a more wildcard, either im gonna have fun or the meta builds become even more braindead

yeah wait why are there so many fs users i’ve ran into 10 fs users in a row now all using aoe moves whilst having 3.5k hp doing 400 damage

Strength builds when they aren’t put up against enemies that cannot panic and parry/block mid-attack

getting cooked by aoe berserkers at 500 ping because i keep getting sent to US and generally every other region that isnt Asia for some unknown reason

I am getting put in regions that I didnt even know existed i cant wait to be sent to the region Backrooms room-009
