The retention is pretty bad. That there are more palyers today tha yesterday is because its weekend. That means nothing.

Your graph stops before the rebound at 100,000 Steam players. Most leagues don't have a bounce like that. The 0.4 numbers fell rapidly for the first two weeks, but then they improved and have been staying flat.


No 11 days after release we had 140k palyers Dec 23rd

At league start we had 290k on steamcharts.

140k of 290k is 48% and it never got back up to 140k ever on steamcharts.

If people have nothing more to say,then they get personal. Typical.


Aw sorry, I 100% misunderstood what you wrote before. My mistake and my apologies.

You were right about medical condition but compared to previous patches this one is the most stable for me so still the best league.


I mean thats good, but considering all the issues with amd drivers, Deadlock stuff and general server issues. Reviews on steam are full of those issues and recent reviews also tanked because of that. Its good u dont have that much issues as before, but overall its not good.

+1

And people came back to reroll through the campaign.

Shows you just how good this league actually is.

That's all true, but the bounce happened on Dec 27, 15 days in. Since then, been flat at 100k, instead of falling, which would be more typical.

Yes but that also happened in other leagues. Thats nothing new. What we see is that new palyers or returning players did not keep playing longer. Which caused the drastic drop in players. In 0.4 it was the fastest. My guess is people didnt even make it through campaign and stopped before they even reached endgame. Because Campaign is really long especially for new players.
december 27th reached 135k palyers. And right now we have 100k.

The dropoff generally is slowing down and always the fastest in the first 2 weeks. We saw the steepest decline in player numbers.

Also it was Christmas! Regular folks tend to be having family time, visiting friends, etc and are not able to game on the 25th or 26th. A bump on the 27th makes sense, many are still off work on holiday and your Christmas obligations are mostly over by then!

No they didnt. It was just a holiday. Its completely logical and has absolutely zero to do with campaign reroll.

Okay? Its not a campaign reroll its basically a new league start. Thats something entirely different from what u said. And it did not help the player numbers.

Then a new league is a reroll. Its not, but if u call this a reroll than every new league is a reroll. That rigth there is basically a new league. Complete league reset with less players.

Also i thought its at 19th so is said future, but corrected myself later.
