when playing 3v3 its so much happening it craves to much to process. i am not hating on 3v3 becuase its fun somtimes to play with more friends and learn about the game. But i wish somtimes they would add 2v2 becuse so it would be easier to comprehend and learn about the game. I think also it would make it easier for the new players to play. Now i know that custom games exist but 90% of the time the games are lock. And i know it would be a hassle to add a new ranking to the game and change the meta for the game but i think they could adjust. PLZ ADD 2V2 best remarks from China to glory

go to freedback and search 2v2

cloud sky
#

what answer, i am just saiyng they shoould add 2v2 becuase there is no 2v2 gamemode

halcyon lichen

#

yes but they dont have a 2v2 ranked game mode

manic wing
#

player base is too small, theres different modes in custom game u can try out tho

cloud sky
#

but maybe the player base is so small becuase its so hard to play 3v3

manic wing
#

thats not why its small, games gonna be hard at first anyways thats just how it is. the hockey game market in general is small so not many will be looking for hockey games unless ur randomly scrolling through steam free games

cloud sky
#

i know but if the games so hard why not try to make players to adapt to the game, insted of people triyng it and then just quitting.'

#

and how can the game be to small to add another gamemode

#

i know its a hassle but haven't this game been out for 3-4 years now and not added a new gamemode?

manic wing
# cloud sky and how can the game be to small to add another gamemode

that would split matchmaking and make it where it'd be very hard to find a match in either mode, abt the players adapting, thats hard af to change the physics of the game without pissing off the current player base. the games hard af at first, physics are wonky but thats what makes slapshot what it is and what we all love. players trying and quitting is up to the player themself, not much devs can do

#

theres a lot of tutorials and videos on the basics so there are resources for new players

cloud sky
#

but if keeping the player base the same and not getting more players be my guest, but im just saying more people would probably play the game if they added more game modes or at least 2v2. and i think it depends on wich time it is to find a match becuase late nights when north americans are awake i find a match instantly but in the mornings i cant find a match under 1 minut. i am not saiyng to change the physics just to add a mode where 2 players met other 2 players and you dont have to make it ranked. and like i said it's almost imposseble to find 2v2 in custom becuase all lobbys are usally locked.

Sounds like a skill issue

cloud sky
#

Bruh💀

#

Really had to do me like that, damn

craggy iris
#

why not let them adapt to a 3v3

cloud sky
#

Becuse its harder to adapt to 3v3 than 2v2

craggy iris
#

get better at 3v3 then

cloud sky
#

or you can add 2v2 insted of losing players becuase the games to hard to adapt to

craggy iris
#

no one is going to get into a game if we split the queues

cloud sky
#

well it depends

craggy iris
#

how

cloud sky
#

well as i said north america i think is most active so finding a game late night for me is easy but finding one in the morning is hard. plus i think more people would play the game if they added 2v2 so it would be easier but if not they could add diffrent modes that is not gamebreaking just som small fun game modes that would incerse the player base.

manic wing
#

just is what it is

cloud sky
#

yea and time zones

cloud sky
#

so it makes a diffrence so work and school doesnt matter if your plaiyng in europ

manic wing
#

huh

#

work and school does matter if ur in europe also. every place has different times where matchmaking is lower

cloud sky
#

yeah but not if your in europ and connecting to north america or just like now when its summer they could add 2v2 so they could get players to the winter

craggy iris
cloud sky
#

nvm but they still have the capacatiy to add 2v2 and if it does not work out they can also just remove the 2v2 mode

halcyon lichen
#

The have added other game modes in custom games

#

But you can’t have well balanced 3v3 games which is the best suited mode for public matches while also having 2v2 with the current queue times given the player base

cloud sky
#

yea but 2v2 ranked and almost no one has a open custom game

halcyon lichen
#

Then make one yourself

cloud sky
#

with what people whom will join, becuase no one joins custom

halcyon lichen
#

“Advertise” your custom in #looking-for-group or find some friends to play 2v2 with you

cloud sky
#

but isn't that a big hassel insted of them making a 2v2 gamemode

halcyon lichen
#

They won’t make it, as we have explained, and yes it is a hassle, but it’s for a niche gamemode, in a niche game

cloud sky
#

i dont think its a niche gamemode and i know many people who likes this ide and you saiyng they wont make it why do you think i making this feedback just so they just can get an insight on how it is.

#

becuase maybe they wont add 2v2 but somthing in that kind that everyone will be satified with

halcyon lichen
#

Well then I guess it shouldn’t be hard to find players to fill your 2v2 lobby, and anyway 2v2/different ranked queues has been requested many times in the past and the devs prefer to keep one ranked queue given the size of player base, for balance, queue times and popularity of 3v3

cloud sky
#

but they could do this in the future or add antoher better gamemode not just adding it in custom beucase no lobby (ussally) is open

mental ledge
#

this entire argument has happened multiple times

cloud sky
#

hopfully this is small part to get 2v2

mental ledge
#

read the other threads please

#

youre just blindly saying I want 2v2

#

"It would be cool indeed, I'd like it too. However, splitting up the playerbase would make matchmaking longer, less balanced and likely cause a death spiral - so we're keeping it to the one queue until we can comfortably support a player count that works for multiple queues" -Erveon

#

its not like the players appose 2v2. ofc everyone wants more variety, but especially for those at the top of their region, its hard to queue as is so adding another mode would make it impossible

#

us west is only active for like 2 hours a day and nearly all my games get someone gold or below, if the queue was split I dont think I would be able to find games in less than 15 minutes

cloud sky
#

but i dont see them doing anything to make exapand the player base

#

that would be because you joined yesterday

2v2 just wouldn’t work right now

#

just cuz u and ur friend want 2v2, doesnt mean its the entire reason

cloud sky
#

bro just let people give feedback you dont have to comment they shouldn't let them do what they want. and my intentions were never to be rude i was just saiyng it probably was a good ide to add 2v2. and i dont see a problem if they add it over summer when kids are not in school and if its not working you can remove 2v2. and i saw another thered talking about content over att tiktok was low and on youtube i think its also pretty low so adding 2v2 could showcase the new meta and i think it would be entertaining. but i just dont see how they are going to expand the player base if they cant even add 2v2 for a short while.

#

Expanding the player base is needed in order to add new modes, not the other way around

#

There's no way a new mode would simply make enough new players appear out of nowhere; if that was the case, it'd be implemented already

cloud sky
#

but then how is the game going to get people intersted enough to play the game?

#

and build a fanbase

ancient gazelle
#

Creating a new mode effectively divides the player base between the old option(s) and the new one(s) (since it's not possible to play both modes at the same time)

#

If this division ends up making queuer times longer and/or queue quality drop, then it's not worth it

#

And that is the game's situation, at least for now

cloud sky
#

yea but for example fortnite did it by creating battle royle a alterntive mode for save the world

#

i know fortnites ass but still

ancient gazelle
cloud sky
#

not so much in save the world

ancient gazelle
#

That's the issue. It's not that new game modes are bad, it's just that the current player base would not be "enough" for more right now

cloud sky
#

but then how is rebound going to get more players?

ancient gazelle
cloud sky
#

yea i guess your right but the thing is i dont see much of rebound content tough

#

and most of the videos almost a month old or just not racking upp much viewers

ancient gazelle
cloud sky
#

damn your right but i dont still see rebound getting any players tough?

ancient gazelle
cloud sky
#

yea but thats the thing its already have been brught up

#

i saw a thread talking about the tiktok account not being active

ancient gazelle
#

That's fair, but on the other hand, Slapshot's official 1.0 release was like a couple months ago. They still have time to improve both the game (as in, adding more/locally hosted servers, for instance, which would be a way to get new players) and its promotion in social media and whatnot

cloud sky
#

u have a point guess we just have to see what they will do becuase in the end its there game and if they post more or gain more players i would really be happy

#

so the playerbase expand but like i said its upp to them on how they want to do it

faint blaze
#

let this thread die already

it’s going in one ear and out the other
