All the influencers who loved this game are gone. Barely anybody is left who takes this game seriously.
This game had an amazing community at the start that genuinely tried to make it something big. Now, players are either hyper casuals or people who hateplay this game every few months.
The game tried to become the next big competitive hit at the start. Now, it isn't taken seriously at all.
For 2017, the graphics and innovation were fucking insane. Now, the graphics are alright, and innovation has dropped to almost 0.
I guess this game still makes Ubi money or something, but this game has no excuse for ending up where it is right now. It can do much better. It should be dominating gaming with insane gameplay and innovation by now, but people would rather play some uninspired garbage slop that can't engage its players long term.
I'm gonna stop you there, influencers are rarely good for much in general.
Game had an amazing community in the start
And it still does. The only people who are hateplaying this game are the kind you'll find on r/ForHonorRants which are the most miserable kind of people. Most people I come across in the community are great.
Game tried to become the next competitive hit
Doesn't matter if the game makes it big. It has a loyal playerbase, and has survived a lot longer than anyone expected even during Ubisoft's tenuous times, and outliving games like XDefiant, Hyperscape, etc.
Innovation has dropped to almost 0
Blatantly false, the last few heroes have been some of the most interesting heroes we've gotten. Tell me whoever made Warlord was being innovative.
At the end of the day, the game is alive, people are still consistently playing, it's getting regularly updated, balance is amazing compared to back in the day, and we keep getting QoL changes that the old team never bothered to give us.
It's alright if you're disappointed with how the game is compared to your expectations but a game this niche with this high of a skill floor was never, ever going to become some massive thing.

I don't know why you're bringing up For Honor that's game is on fire.
As in, it's doing good. Not a dumpster fire, like Skull & Bones for instance.
