How Rhoshambo RUINED Wizard101

[@Welcome2MyAbyss]

the simplicity of wiz is what made it enjoyable for me. i loved pvp early 4th age and it was so much easier to get into.

[@DakotaEarthHorn]

Worst thing to ever happen to wiz is Blake gaslighting Ratbeard that Roshamblows were a "GREAT" ideaa

[@doom2161]

Yoo dakota is there a chance you are gonna post any rhoshambo peev

[@KaixaDrome]

Blake couldn’t have known how bad they would be though. What looks good on paper isn’t always good in practice as we’ve seen. Blake wasn’t able to see the aftermath of what happened after he quit.

[@tippo1674]

Blame ratbeard not Blake

[@dad_stealer]

Rishambo was never needed during Wiz’s gold years, because the devs understood that it wasn’t their job to deck build and strategize for us. Just make cool spells that fit into our schools aesthetically, and let us use our entire arsenal to deal with things and create ideas of our own, and make the world feel alive. Broken things will always exist - it’s a MMO, but there’s no need to ban it as a result. We never asked to play rock, paper, scissors. I just wanted to make Greyrose proud with the spells that she taught me and made me work for. It was that world building charm that made me fall in love with wiz and made me feel apart of it all. I never wanted my identity to be countering storm, i wanted it to be a tank that used snowballs and snow giants with that crisp sound and aesthetic. Doubt ratbeard or anyone will see this, but they need to drop their ego and allow themselves to admit it was the wrong path.

[@Ysae791]

Roshambo took 7 different schools, each based on a specific concept, and turned them into buff/debuff trades. School identity died. Spellements (upgrade paths) should be about school identity and not roshambo, for example, a balance spell should have upgrade paths where said spell makes damage from one specific school and then has an extra effect related to said school (ice would shield, myth would stun, fire would be an ot...). Thats what an upgrade path should look like: offers different ways to play a school within the realm of its identity. What is being done right now is just awful. On top of that, every time a spell offers some sort of problem It is just PvP banned instead of fixing the design flaws of the current pvp system. Lots of spells that were totally fine before this roshambo bs were just removed.

[@mrkickdoors]

As per ratbeard, they have no intentions of removing roshambo

[@brazil-y2y]

Of course not. Even opening no roshambo to private pvp circles ends this crap. Players will leave official PVP to run old school pvp

[@neckbeardnetwork9959]

Roshambo should have never been added period, plus why cater to the competitive side of your game when 90% of players play wiz in a casual setting.

[@doom2161]

In my opinion, either create another pvp split where we have classic pvp pre rhoshmabo (early 2020 and before) and post rhoshambo which is current pvp or completely remove rhoshambo and rework basically all the spells in the game again to e What they were before all the changes / tweak them to fit the old school wiz style

[@brazil-y2y]

It's not possible. The moment you say create 2nd age PVP, Rhoshambo is dead. KI's golden boy "AWESOME" will switch too. They will not allow previous ages it wrecks Ratbeards plans, not only for PVP but raids, "challenge mode" too. Everything is built on non wiz players, who don't play. To play content hard core players chose other games for. It's like Disney Star Wars, ignoring everyone who loves Star Wars and expecting millions, who never liked Star Wars to change with no love for the universe LOL

[@rKIMestry]

I like how wiz had said they were trying to bring school identity back, but then they completely change some schools identities, lol.

[@prana2231]

This is so spot on. The sole reason I havent gotten back into the game is because of the new(ish) pvp system. Any returning player will take one look at all the spell changes, roshambo, archmastery and feel completely lost/disgusted. Not to mention the players that have spent money chasing lore spells, only to see them nerfed or changed in some way with new mechanics. They ruined a perfect game. A shame indeed.

[@brazil-y2y]

Yes there is no even playing field

[@ignister2880]

My friend and I use to play this game a lot, hell when the new world drops we will probably pick it up again. We actually like the archemastery/dual school system. Problem is we just genuinely hate roshambo and after we discuss it, it’s because of the lack of school identity caused by this.

[@gabrielnwodo9632]

FR😭😭😭 - A lack of school identify - Archmastery - Roshambo Completely shit on a beautiful game

[@quailland1982]

Noo cuz i dont even play wiz anymore I quit ~when 140 was the max level and they added the school pips after and theyre soo confusing to me like whats the point of a school if you can just get pips from other schools?? such a weird choice

[@marianoabignente3665]

Rhoshambo killed the game in every way, putting in raids that can only be completed by an elite group of people throwing out casual players, then only made some schools better at pvp like death balance myth. It killed all the possible strategies in the game not to mention the pvp team, for me it was just enough to add some basic cards like remove blades/traps, the followers had to be nerfed and only the myth ones remained unchanged because it is the minion school not the school of changing shields for traps, fire had to remain damage over time and healing over time, death had to attack and heal but not too overwhelmed. Vita had to be a bit like myth, having good minions and normal healing that wasn't too exaggerated, balance had to be a mix of all the schools and had to master the battle with weaknesses and combined attacks of elemental and spiritual schools, ice had to be damage in the norm they give over time and very high defense a bit like fire only without healing, if they understand that the basics of the game are those many people will play again because honestly now there is no good reason to play it.

[@NiSoFlyYT]

And the fact that they practically killed 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and low level pvp, it just leaves so much less for the casual pvpers

[@YuhhPaul]

Rhoshambo wouldve been okay if it came out when the game started , but pushing it to players late in it is what caused the troubles

[@brazil-y2y]

Yes it's pushing a game that players never did in PVE. It has nothing to do with Wiz.

[@BlackRose-rp7kv]

the hieroglyphics like..wtf

[@brazil-y2y]

I did 2nd age PVP, apart from cheaters who force you out of game, that era was FUN. I planned to return. Rhoshambo has ZERO to do with Wizard101. PVP should be using cards you can play while questing.

[@NoahToshiko]

Glad to see someone else finally speak up about schools having non identity based cards!! You did forget storm elf in ur list though :))

[@diozafanboy4314]

At least liahm is the only content creator that got balls to talk about the real problems of the game.. I just wish you talked about the fact that wizard101 is more shifting for raid and pvp players instead of pve which made it popular

[@Streetjohn239]

Can you ask why tf they keep buffing death? I don't do max cause i'm not wasting my time with it especially when the devs should realize their playerbase is mostly adults now that do not have the kind of time we did as kids. Whales carry this game, because I know our playbase is shrinking by the day. It's as though the devs are driving in a car (this game) on the edge of a cliff, and keep shifting weight to where we, the players, think it's about to plummet to hell, but somehow these morons that caused this car to be on the edge of the cliff in the first place just baaaaaaarely keep it from going all the way

[@fallonfireblade4404]

Maybe they're trying to make the game better for people who enjoy more complex combat systems, but it's screwing regular PVE players who aren't amazing strategists over royally, and they've made it clear that they don't care about that. It seems like they no longer want to make the game something that their players enjoy, they just want to make it whatever the heck THEY want to make it, players be damned.

[@Dabuz]

I really appreciate how honest you are, man! Keep up the good work❤

[@cambix7459]

I used to love pvp and was warlord every age from 1st to 3rd. Took a break and this roshambo stuff makes me hate wiz. It's confusing and isn't fun to use.

[@JacobRoseBlade]

What's more is that the sus guilds coordinate sniping assignments. I have informants in them, so I know what goes on most of the time. You know it's bad when I'd rather quickly get sniped than get an organic match. Rhoshambo made deck setting more rampant.

[@djkang9222]

Just vote with wallets. Bad game = no money

[@blogtrump9965]

Should make rashambo and regular PvP Separate

[@brazil-y2y]

That destroys ratbeards PVP, Raids and challenge mode. He needs PVP

[@fredthetank8386]

Roshambo ruined wizard101. Pvp will NEVER be fixed unless the devs admit that they were wrong and completely scrap roshambo. Revert pvp back to 2020 and fix pvp from there with a different path.

[@nevernoknowno]

i like the 3 pip roshamboo counter cards, but outside of that i hate the inherent counter match ups roshamboo created. i think itd be cool to keep some parts of it, but overall it has created a stale meta. right now its literally just a rock paper scissors meta

[@coolkid3915]

roshambo should've never been a thing tbh, wish it never happened and we kept having spells handed to us at every X8 level (38,48,58 etc) based on the school's (now legacy) identity, and keep tcs available for disadvantaged schools to work with (which isn't any school if roshambo doesn't exist tbh)

[@Jessica_Rabbit_]

I'm of the 1% in the game and even for me it's a bit much. Playing this game feels like a full-time job with no benefit. The game is just not fun anymore. I have 11 max wizards and 4 accounts. I plan on quitting this week. Other than raids there is nothing else to do, It’s longer the same game I used to love.

[@brazil-y2y]

[@Chocolatebrimstone]

we want to play wizard101 not rock paper scissors ratbeard

[@AnimeW69]

Roshambo ruined pvp

[@monicanieto1406]

Idk if you guys have know that Diego the Duelmaster this not been updated to show people how to pvp now cuz it's still on the old pvp one if they are going to have more pve players want to pvp they need to fix this

[@cristianmarrero3083]

Take a shot every time he says Rhoshambo, u won't

[@joeyshmoeylmao]

personally i feel like with rhoshambo it took the fun of playing a certain school. I feel like what made me love schools was the spells, but they arent even good so why play or the fact everyone has a counter to every strategy your school could have.

[@michaelxthunder]

DOTs being fire’s main way of doing damage, but also being able to be countered with roshambo spells is kind of stupid. Every other school doesn’t have to worry about their attacks being completely negated by a stormzilla. RoShamBo is an Extremely flawed design for Fire in my opinion

[@Robismerciless]

Yea death is broken asf pvp or pve

[@jonathanolivier6932]

the problem with wiz, each person in their house, should have a training area, so you can train yourself against a random minion and you can use all the pvp and pve cards if you want to play against a friend, you need to go to the arena. But they should have at least that each wiz has their own pvp area to train themselves, to test new spells, and new strategies.

[@Darc1972]

What happened to the simple but great idea of strength and weaknesses, such as Death beats Life, But Life beats Death versus Whatever this BS Rhoshambo is. I fear that Rhoshambo will be the final nail in the coffin to wizard101, which is very sad ive been playing since 2008

[@blogtrump9965]

They could do seasons every other season allows roshambo

[@Firestarter_101]

W Liahm, L Rhoshambo.

[@VashWizzes101]

They can have their Rhoshambo at this point but why can't they make a practice "classic" pvp kiosk so the og players can enjoying something other than quest and beastmoon, most people I speak to including myself stopped pvping because of the rhoshambo's, spell changes and gambits 😭😅

[@Sandersthequeen]

They need to get rid of it, the end of this video isn’t it, you essentially say they need to take it further which is not what they need to do, they need to get rid of it, fight for the old game it’s worth it, one day pvp could be full again and the game could be popular but they have to get rid of this bs.

[@bankait_rex1860]

Imaging working on each area separate, imagine that , it would be so nice, leaving pve alone, most of us do not care about pvp period never had never will why force this stupid mechanic on a fight that could be fun but instead we are force to read a card that makes no sense and even switch our classes completely just to make it longer and more tedious just because...

[@FD-bq7ux]

I enjoy watching some of your content Liahm. However, it seems to me that almost every time that I see you post, it’s you badmouthing the game 😕. You might need a break brother.

[@ManulLulu]

You can just right click any card now in your deck or gear and see what effects it does by hovering over it, not hard. Idk what you're complaining about...

[@brazil-y2y]

No you can't in battle and even if they add later, you have no time to understand

[@jackghoststone5055]

They just keep adding things to the game making it more and more unnecessarily complicated. First it was pierce to counter Jade spam. When really they should have just nerfed Jade. Then it was critical and block. Then shadow pips and rating. Then pip conversion. Then mastery pips and rating. Now it's roshambo. We never needed any of this stuff, the game was fine as it was. All we needed with updates was new spell, balancing and become more powerful with the existing stats in the game. Except those idiots kept bringing out hear with more and more resist which should never have happened. If they had decided they most resist you can have on a robe for example is 10 and like 12 for an ice, we wouldn't have needed pierce and resistance caps

[@Assau1tX]

Everything u just said besides shadow pip, mastery pip and roshambo is false. Pierce was in the game to counter shield spammers and jade spammers. Critical and blocking was mainly for pve. It’s just how it is, if you’re not ok with them 3 in the game then it’s a skill issue. However shadow pip rating mastery pip and roshambo I agree with

[@jackghoststone5055]

@@Assau1tX That's exactly my point. "To counter Jade gear" rather than provide a fix to the problem it is better to remove or nerf the thing that is causing the problem. When the game first came out the highest resist gear in the game was Glendemming. In total the set gave 40 resist. Add a proof defy pet and you have 55, also there were no ward talents back then, (ward talents were another mistake in my opinion). Hat was 12, robe 15 and boots 13. This is where resist should have stopped. They should have never released any gear with higher resist than this. But they did and so pierce was necessary. I don't think pierce is a bad idea, just that like resist, it too has gone too far. If the max practical resist is 55, then the maximum obtainable pierce should be like 10 at most. The problem with critical is not that it exists, it's that they went excessive with it, same as resist and then pierce, we are seeing a pattern here. At first critical would happen like 5% of the time, as critical is intended to work in most games, but after Aquila came out, there was so much of it that it's was a guaranteed thing and it came down to either you blocked it or not which was like half the time. It went from having a 5% chance to critical to a 50% chance. Something that rarely happened to something that frequently happened. Far too much RNG. It was not a good time for PvP

[@ThomasTheIV]

I think it's time for you to move on from Wizard101. Most of your videos in the past year have become these negative 10 minute rants over issues KI simply won't change. You have potential but it's definitely not on this game.

[@getit8349]

I think Liam continuing wiz will help save the game he shouldn’t be going anywhere

[@YuhhPaul]

The game as a whole has degenerated over the past years. Yes, the game is constantly growing but the game itself is losing what made players keep playing
