How is that Knockout mode? That sounds like something I wanted out of a turbo mode for Underolrds.
It's chaos. Forcing some roles may or may not work. Positioning kinda matters. Economy is an effective non-factor, as interest no longer counts and gold isn't used to level up. Underlords are pretty ineffectual, since you only choose their ultimate.
It's a lot of fun
I just need ranked Knockout now. I thought having no real management aspect to it would make it tire out quickly, but the games are so short and you can change so much on the fly the mode is just addicting as hell.

not actually that big of a list
I don't know if I'm just overvaluing it, but Terrorblade seems like more insane in Knockout. Get him to 3 star and give him a good item and everything just melts. Didn't he get nerfed a while ago?
Have they said when the proto pass is ending? I'm just getting into this and am at level 6.
Knockout was far too overwhelming to start, but I feel like I'm starting to piece things together playing against bots. The knockout pace and game length is perfect.

I dun think it is going away.
It's been like this for a while - do daily quest get free cosmetics.
It's going away when Season 1 starts sometime between now and the end of the year.

I went back to regular play....I think it was a mistake doing knockout cause now the regular game seems impossible to go back to.
This is me, only that after two rounds with the underlords I was already at that point lol.
I enjoy that Knockout basically lets me ignore them completely. I just wish they weren't a part of the play field. Make them the overlord on the sidelines that changed up the play somehow.
It's a bit unfair, because we all hate the Underlord system before having seen it fully formed (with the other two underlords), but... yeah.
I understand why they don't want to scrap the idea entirely just yet. But a separate mode like Knockout would have been ideal to test the game with a much reduced Underlord interference.
They either added these two too early or too late.

I swore I heard a rumour that there was something like 10 Underlords
It was cool at first but I can't help but agree. The heroes. The alliances, items all feel at a pretty good spot and yet the game feels like it's got something holding it back. Underlords may be the culprit but let's see what the other couple of Underlords look like before anything

I saw someone suggesting changes to Knockout to make it more strategic (and a little longer) to have it eventually be the standard mode, while the longer standard mode becomes an alternative. Thought it was pretty interesting
Link to that? I find the regular mode far too time consuming (tough to commit to it with any distractions at all IRL), and the knockout mode to be nearly perfect. Adding a few more minutes to knockout wouldn't be a problem for me. I'm finding knockout much easier to learn about the characters and alliances as well.
I've been clearing all of the challenges and working my way through the proto pass purely by playing knockout mode.
I feel like the way to make Knockout more strategic would not be to make it more like general play, but to add something in place of all the strategy taken out. Add some kind of incremental choices that take the place of economy level management.
I don't entirely know what it could be but I feel like it more just needs something else to take the place of choices. I had thoughts of something like incentives to decide between choosing alliances early on or getting some kind of stat increase if you have less synergies or only the alliances you start with. Or be able to put your gold in to something other than just rolls.
Probably a dumb idea but what if they did something like restrict the board down to a 3x3 box at the start of a match and either you gain a spot each level or you can put gold in to it. It probably doesn't matter all that much, but I was just thinking of what gold could be put in to besides levels.

Summary:
- Make 3-star heroes harder to get, 6 copies either through 3+3 or 2+2+2
- Make leveling cost gold again
- More health, 7-8
Oh wow, I dropped out by October because like all multiplayer games I get bored of the gameplay loop, but holy shit at all the additions. Its like a completely new game and I cannot wait to discover all the new heroes. The spirit alliance especially feels like my jam.
Not a huge fan of Knockout mode right now, I actually find it way too fast.
Feel like it's pretty much impossible to make a come back if the RNG gods aren't your side. More health + making it harder to get 3 stars would be a good start.
Regular mode is more fun to me right now.

no
Seems like a dead game for English streamers.
More for Brazil it seems
Chess Rush is Auto Chess at its most basic, and sometimes that's a good thing, this knockout mode is so alienating. However Chess Russ is lik Arena of Valor, feels like its gonna take AGES to get something good going.
