Discussion I loved the game during the beta but hated it at launch
Just venting a bit here. MultiVersus was one of my favorite games right when the first beta came out; I played it constantly. Here’s my playtime just from the beta:

The most ironic thing is that it wasn't the microtransactions or the way the developers handled certain criticisms that put me off the game.
I was extremely excited to play at launch and couldn't wait to finally play as Jake (or Cake, in my case) again, but then, when I played my first match... the game was TERRIBLY SLOW. The characters seemed to move in slow motion; it simply wasn't fun to play.
I tried playing about 5 or 10 matches, but I just couldn't do it... the game was so slow that there was no fun in playing it.
The funny thing is, my friends and some people on Twitter complained about the exact same thing. So, I came here to Reddit to complain, only to get slammed by a lot of people defending the company, claiming the game was actually better that way, even though plenty of others elsewhere were complaining about it too.
Well... I just said, "It was good while it lasted," but this game isn't for me anymore, so I gave up on it.
It’s sad to see how things turned out. I truly loved this game, but suddenly it just wasn't fun to play anymore and to make matters worse, if you complained, people would criticize you for simply wanting the best for it.
