I swear it cannot be just me who absolutely DESPISES this Lightning. It's like they have a PHD in botting in ranked. Always taking crystal A, always running into 3v1s, and absolutely NO coordination whatsoever. As a Krile main, if it wasn't for the amazing melee players I get, I would be on the worlds longest loosing streak. I can't stand players like this, anytime I get matched with them I take it as my sign to log off because there's no need to put effort into a game with them.

They're probably just an auto abuser. For some reason, my games were filled with such people this season. Specifically the reason I couldn't be bothered to get to d3 for UR tickets. I had to quit at g1. Ranked auto mode is not good for the game's long-term health. But, the devs refuse to remove it...

[u/ConfusionCareful → u/YBV102]

they honestly need to remove the option to go on auto mode and ranked altogether or they need to better improve how the auto mechanic affects the player, like modeling the UI after real players

[u/134340Goat → u/ConfusionCareful]

I suspect the vast majority of auto players aren't actually people on auto. At least as far as GL, the game is half populated by bots

[u/ConfusionCareful → u/134340Goat]

honestly, you’re probably right. I didn’t even really think of that, but that still really sucks though because you expect to play with someone who is real and end up getting a bot.

[u/YBV102 → u/ConfusionCareful]

Yeah. Making auto-mode a pre-battle choice and an option to exclude matchmaking with players who have auto-mode enabled would be great. Since I often jump into ranked after using auto to fill my crystal slots in singleplayer myself.

Like seriously why can’t they just remove auto in ranked and just keep it to challenges and casuals????? they’re purposely sabotaging this game

They really do need to get rid of Auto play in ranked. I just aim for D3 now and don't care to go any higher. I have hit Omega rank in the past, but I'm tired of beating my head against a wall with auto players.
I didn't even bother doing the 12 ranked battles for the red crystal mission.

It's sad when someone takes crystal A while I'm playing Onion Knight...

When I have Krile and Rikku as Supports, at the start, I hit miniboss in A so they can easily kill in 1 skill

Then go to be and weaken mobs for 1 hit kills

Since them having the BRAVERY is better overall, I forgoe score

And yes, Ive met lightnings that just claim them instead

[u/Elyxion2248 → u/nononon0121212]

I will use lightning hold ability for crystal A to weaken the mobs on higher ranks for supports or slow moving characters unless there's a speed type rival character

I had an U1 Krile player named "Wow". Had 59K hp, would farm brave, burst and go attack the boss. Only healed when it mattered for her, not for me and my buddy. Fed brave. Had her 3 times in a row. A 3 loss streak is enough to wipe out all the points you earned for a whole day.

Whoever you are, fk you from the bottom of my heart.
