blade ball is a parry timing game pretending to be a skill game. the parry window is tight and thats fine, but half your deaths come from ability spam you had no chance to read, someone pulls a teleport or a freeze out of nowhere and its just a coinflip. the ball speed rng and the ability balance make it feel like the game decides the winner more than you do. its sweaty for all the wrong reasons. not real aim, not real skill expression, reaction roulette. 2.
