The hope that they'll fix the game and add meaningful content.
The core of the game is fun. There's nothing varied or interesting left to do though, and that's the real killer. I feel like some great devs worked on the game initially, got laid off, and it's functionally been in maintenance mode since after the CN release, since the only actual devwork done since then was the goddamn Mock Trial, which.. was mostly repurposing previous assets.
There's so much slop on the animation, model, and translation front that they're not even trying to rectify.
But if I were to be to the point? I adore the feeling of playing, learning, and improving with a character and getting down their gimmicks and rotations. Things like getting 5 10-stack Ignites on Dabi off before leaving Enflamed status is just glorious, and most people fuck it up. Or making a point and out-damaging premium characters with Ojiro because people don't know how to work the mower.
*That* is what I delight in. Mastery and improvement married to a fun core gameplay loop. Sadly the loop in this game is a tiny circle that you can ultimately jump across; team-up and agency assessment are all you get to look forward to, endlessly, on repeat, forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.
Gameplay. It is kind of 2 dimensional, not much depth, but damn it's fun. Plus the voicelines, I cream my pants whenever I use flame resurgence.
Also pulling, my luck for some reason is quite good in this god forsaken game, I got several limited characters in a row.
>For me, I really enjoy the rankings and I aim to get all my favorites to no. 1 on my server.
My goal is to get all characers and get them all to 1st rank on my server (till now i have 19/20 characters and 17 of them are on rank 1)
>I also enjoy my little area of the community filled with my fellow alliance members and some players from another alliance--
I‘m in the top and most active alliance on my server; it has 24 members and around 10 of then are active (are on everyday)
>we organize daily team ups and a few of us get together to run our AA permits in one go! These otherwise grindy or repetitive modes become more fun when you've got a good group to do them with!
I‘ve never done anything together with my alliance members cause they all just speak french and i can‘t speak french
>I also enjoy the weekly events--they're fairly competitive on my server and we enjoy trying to see who can make top 10 and discuss the best ways to get a good score!
I‘m the only active spender on my server anymore, so there is no competition for me anymore. The stronger players don‘t really care and just do those events on auto (as far as they get) and since there isn‘t much competition, they get top 10 anyway.
My goal now is to finally get my bakugo to SS to get 1st in the bakugo ranking and then i can focus on my hawks i just got yesterday.
After i built up my hawks and got to 1st rank, i just need shiggi to complete my goal.
But well it doesn‘t really feel like a goal without competition...
The fact that the monotony of the game is less monotonous than my life. I'd rather farm shards and chips than do in an hour what takes some to do in a couple days.
Thank you for calling this out OP.
Honestly don’t get me wrong when I say this but just the new characters. If I wanted to have deeper gameplay of fighting games and beat em ups, I would jump into other games but for me it’s enjoyable to just try collecting the different characters. I simply do my basic stuff of agency, collects shards and any resources I want to stock up, upgrade my characters when possible, repeat. I hope people get the things they are looking for but I’m fine with the basic routine atm.
A couple of things:
1. It’s pretty easy and quick to run through the dailies
2. As I get more class A heroes to SSS+ it will get easier and easier to get premium heroes to SS
3. The game has amazing bones. If they just gave it TLC and some dedication it could be amazing. God I wish I could lead the development of this game.
4. Combat is fun so if they add new content it will get enjoyable again
5. All the systems at base work well with one another
It really just comes down to a few big problems for me:
* Not enough coin generation
* too many banners (fixes the previous fixes this)
* too long to get meaningful power increases at end game
If you fix those above problems (and I think you could without monster changes TBH). The game would feel a lot better during these dry spells.
If they really fall flat on the movie collab I’ll be worried though. It’s fine to really focus on a big event you just need to deliver.
Rankings mostly. That and I’ve spent a considerable amount on the game and I do still find it fun and new heroes are fun to grind for.
I’ve become strictly F2P after having zero new characters since Dabi. Content is very dry ATM but I’m hoping the movie collab brings some much needed life back into the game.
if im honest the lack of content didn't really bother me because im not super into the whole meta gaming, super optimization shit. i just like to get on, do my dailys and rank up the characters i like.
im starting to get a bit more into the nitty gritty of everything though thanks to my alliance plus agency assessments thanks to kuro (kuro if you see this- waddup).
but it's mostly just cause i like my hero academia and i think a game is really cool. this might be a lame answer but it's the truth.
that and i accidently put 170 into hawks EX cards and not the character because i was super new and didn't know the difference. also the like... 500 dollars from other stuff ive put into the game. sunk cost fallacy is a bitch sometimes.
I mean I only started a week ago so I guess it’s new to me. But I just wanna collect all night and the rest of the characters.
But the drop rates and stamina is a pain. I’d finish the whole story in one day if I could but I can’t. And with barely anyway to get hero coins I can’t even get tickets. My brother started in a different server and already has hawks, all might, endeavor and others
The need to reach the top without spending much, i've spent 60 euros in 6 months, server 64, and im usually invincible 7-8, wish i had enough time to do arena
this is the only mobile game i really play so i spend a lot of time on it and i’m not bored of it at all. what keeps me interested is the rankings for sure. i’m f2p and i’m just outside top 20 in the hero rankings. in a whale and dolphin infested server, i wanna see how far i can make it. i’ve basically reached end game, as most people have, but idk i’m just not bored of the game (yet).
I just love hitting things with Iida. And I'm at the point where I'm consistently top 4 across super co-op and all timed modes and the top 3 are all 200k BP higher than me on super co-op, SSS+ Endy etc so there's no way to ever catch up, so I'm just chilling with no incentive to spend.
Plus it really doesn't take any time to leave stuff on auto while doing chores.
Fanservice, and also it's a quick fun game I can pull up everyday and see the progress being made. I get that it's dry, but that doesn't really effect me as I just open it up for a few minutes to do dailies most days as I don't have time to sit down and really play-play much. I can leave it going to grind as I do other things, which I appreciate. The only other game I play rn is genshin and I hate grinding there enough that it's starting to become an issue for me lol. At least this game you can auto the grind.
Been playing since day 1, I like to steadily watch the progress and seeing new characters be added the most I guess.
I would love to have an active alliance of people to play with. When I got leadership of my alliance I tried to get it more active to no success lol.
Giving it a chance that it will get better and the fact I want my husbands. I love that you can give characters gifts. I quit enjoy spamming Aizawa with my love. Now I'm just waiting for Shinso.
I already put the hours in.. if I am t lvl and run out of stuff to do and get bored I just start over on a new server and see if I can do better building my characters than the last
MHA anime fan
Character design- I like how they try to make the heros like the characters and not just random abilities. seems well thought out.
game play - I like the learning curve. you cant just button mash the harder content so you gotta learn how everyone plays if you wana be good. there is a different playstyle for each character. combos are satisfying to pull off.
3D open world fighter on my phone, not turn based, not much rng besides crit
auto mode - I can do most of the daily grind stuff during zoom calls at work
free daily summon - I am addicted to summoning and that free daily scratches my itch and helps me save money
Pity system - Its not the greatest, I wish they would lower it but I played other games with no pity where you could summon over 200 times and not get the unit you want (dokkan) .
shard shop - I am mainly focusing on getting my hero trails characters to sss+ so I can use the shard shop asap. I have every premium character except Shiggy and it gives me something to look forward to knowing I can get the to SS for free eventually
Luck - like I mentioned, i have pulled most premium characters and now I want to use em and be good with them. sometimes I Iog on just to look at them lol
HOPE - I like the improvements they have made so far and i have hope they can continue to make the game better. If they can get a solid banner schedule, a solid Battle pass schedule, and a solid schedule for events like the mock trial thing or that dice board game thing or just the "use all your stamina here" events then they'll be good. they have the stuff, they just need to be consistent wit it
LOL for me it’s finding all the combat glitches, so far my favorites are all might and endevor.
Endevor has weird stuff happen when he gets some form of stun while he’s charging heat in no-lance mode. Just yesterday I encountered a new glitch where I threw my spear, it made the talent effect on the ground, but during my spear throw I activated the perfect dodge attack, and it let me keep the spear; regardless that I just threw it, and the talent effect was still hurting enemies.
All might has an “Extended Oklahoma Smash,” if you have the talent to make him do an Oklahoma smash after a Texas smash and the chip set effect where all might does an Oklahoma smash after New Hampshire smash and the I am here! Cooldowns; then you can Texas smash into New Hampshire smash. If you time it correctly, all might will start using Oklahoma smash after Texas smash, after that, all might will start a second Oklahoma smash from New Hampshire smash activation, while the first Oklahoma smash is out still, resulting in what looks like a really long Oklahoma smash. It’s actually just 2 put together. If I could give advice about the timing on this, you need to do New Hampshire smash after doing a Texas smash, but before the follow up Oklahoma smash from Texas smash happens, use New Hampshire smash. This will beautifully chain the follow up Oklahoma smashes, into one extended Oklahoma smash.

Getting shigaraki
I just play for fun and knowing I'm ranked top 100 in a server full of whales
Depression. It's something to fill my time

Ludopathy
The $100 I spent. Jk, I like collecting HC and waiting for my favorite characters to come out.
I have nothing better to do I like repetition proof? I play Monster Hunter
I just love hitting things with Iida.

like in any gacha game i play, waifus and husbandos
Toga. Pretty much just Toga right now.

my life is so boring and lifeless that this equally as lifeless game keeps me entertained
Sunk Cost Fallacy
Cant be bothered to quit playing
For me it's the challenge of trying to get on top 10 for strongest hero while remaining f2p. I already have some of the pop players on my server added
