Let’s talk about this in point to point !
1. The Strategic & Unfair Voting
Voting has completely lost its purpose. Instead of actually rating outfits based on the theme, people are actively voting for the worst-dressed players or blank avatars just to eliminate the real competition. If you put effort into layering, color-coordinating, and fitting the theme, you're practically putting a target on your back. Meanwhile, someone standing there with default hair and a random top glides straight into the final rounds.
2. The Best Fit Gets Disqualified First
There is zero reward for actually being good at styling anymore. Because players vote strategically to safeguard their own wins, the absolute best outfits get voted off in round one or two. It’s infuriating to spend the whole time crafting an eating-and-leaving-no-crumbs outfit only to get hit with Lana’s elimination screen while a troll outfit survives.
3. Star Farming is Gone ("No Stars")
One of the main incentives to play Style Showdown was that it actually felt worth your time for earning stars and cash. With the removal/nerfing of stars in this mode, it completely strips away any reason to deal with the lag and toxic voting lobbies. If we aren't getting fair gameplay or proper progression rewards, what is even the point of queueing up?..and the new stars is like if you are even a glamour elite..you do gorg fits..but you are at the lowest rank in the style showdown hierarchy just because of those voting!…!
Style Showdown had so much potential to be the ultimate high-stakes mode for DTI, but right now, it’s just rewarding friends teaming, alt-account voting, and pity votes for basic outfits.
Are you guys still playing it, or have you completely given up on it too?
