I'm honestly just gonna phrase it like this, it did the same thing as zo (a sword fighting game), zo started off pretty solid, then it got more and more greedy with p2w aspects and skins to the point where it just died off entirely
to emphasize. it happend due to 1 of the owners selling it to voldex turning it corporate after the founder left.
Remember when zo was just a cool samurai game. I played it back when it was in its prime but now it just doesnt feel the same
I played zo back when it had no players while waiting for criminality to release, it looked like a pretty sick game but I had no one to play it with lol
@@Baldchoppanahhh its boring
zo was always garbage though
For those who have low attention span and want to know why blade ball start it's downfall so here it is:
1. Blade ball copied deflect, deflect is inspired by genji ball in overwatch, and genji ball is inspired by pyro dodgeball
2. It's Toxic Community
3. The owner is money hungry, like really REALLY greedy
And 4. Content creators allowed to auto click (which is pretty unfair ngl)
Edit: ok maybe I'm wrong abt No. 2 bcuz sometimes the community is pretty chill, also thanks for this many likes
The community isn’t that toxic ngl I’ve been a pretty big fan for while and the community isn’t that bad
It's even less original than just copying tf2 and overwatch, we have been doing this since Ocarina of Time on N64
I'm glad I played Deflect before Blade Ball
@@SenKichita same
Almost every game's a copy man
the blade ball devs do not care about development they care about the money
thx for the likes
OMG… THIS WAS MY FAV GAME 😭😭😭😭
Onceler fr
A GUY SPENT 600 DOLLARS O DEATH SLASH AND IT COST RNG ROBUX TO UPGRADE IT
Agree
Kinda like Preston creator of Pet Sim
Death Ball is one of the coolest versions of this so far, it's more accessible and even if other players have more powers unlocked than you, once you figure out how they work you can still get good at it.
(Just close the chat when playing if you just want a quick play, people still can't keep to themselves sometimes)
death ball is so much better in my opinion
@@basedquion Hells yeah
@@basedquionagreed
Tbh as a player who's always 24/7 on blade ball when I tried Death Ball with my friend we got addicted by a lot I love it so much I forgot about the Blade ball mechanic 😅
Death ball is way better then blade ball.
While I don’t think toxic community caused any part of the downfall I still feel like 90% of the players I met in bladeball were pretty toxic
Wow, a game composed of entirely nine year olds is toxic!
Literally every single game on Roblox has a toxic side lmao, just like how 90% of games on the front page shove gambling and micro-transactions at your face at every corner
@@Cahrssomething Im A 9 Year Old And Im Not Toxic (also i wont respond if you answer cause itll make it worse)
Back when this game first released, I adored the concept, and spent every bit of Robux I had unlocking all the skins and abilities, as this game genuinely was addicting.
At that time I think I spent around ~2k to unlock nearly everything the game had to offer, and I was pleased with this rate, it didn't seam unfair and felt like I was getting my money's worth.
Fast forward to a couple weeks later with the introduction of Infinity and I instantly stopped playing Blade Ball. The reason? The unlocking method required you to purchase 2 game-passes 3 TIMES IN A ROW in order to unlock it. While unlocking nearly everything in the game would only cost me ~2k, this SINGLE unlock costs 12k ROBUX. They were overstepping their boundaries right then and there, and were creating absurdly unfair rates, for an overpowered item.
I tried a different approach to this, gambling away my Robux to see if I could unlock those game-passes for a much cheaper price via the wheel spin. Rigged rates there. Spent about 6k Robux attempting to unlock the item at a 100 robux per spin rate (or something like that), and I only landed on a game-pass tile ONCE, when it was allegedly a 1/3 chance.
It's clear that they are exploiting their player-base. I checked back in the game recently and was met with little kids on their mics begging people to gift them skins, due to the now absurd prices.
Very disappointed!!! Mak game good....
The basic bundle was 4% and the pro was 1.5%. Check the chances next time before gambling
stolen game, its literally a deflect clone designed to make more money than the original and somehow got insanely popular
yeah a lot of kids games developers take advantage of their audience being kids and make everything super expensive cuz kids just ask parents for money when they need it, or they make a gambling thing which... well... kids gambling never ends well..
I know very well its your money and i can't really argue with that but the fact that you spent that much robux on a single game for that just leaves me speechless, the amount of things i would do if i had that amount of rbx is mindblowing for me
The clans that they added literally take over 1 million robux to max it out (only if u keep buying the 25 k robux clan points) they are making a fortune out of it and they keep making more p2w updates.
glad i found this video its actually entertaining and very underrated, new sub keep it up man
Thanks a lot man! Hopefully it starts picking up some traction. 👀
@@DocuBlox how does this only have 1k views wth.You spent more time on this than i spend on anything
@@DocuBlox i tried autoclicking just to test and it doesnt work
If anyone here wants a better game to play, try Death Ball! It’s easy and fun to play also. It’s not p2w, it has tons of different things that Blade Ball does not have. The ball bounces off of surfaces and you even have your own anime superpowers! Please play it I swear you’ll love it way more. Also the Death Ball community isn’t toxic and devs work really hard for us. That game is super underrated. ❤❤
(definitely not trying to advertise Death Ball for people to play it bc it’s super good 😭)
Hi how old Are u just asking love genshin too
@@joshuaqwertyx I’m 15 but I just started getting honkai sr tho lol
I don't usually comment on vids but as someone who was there for the uprise and downfall of blade ball, I gotta say that it was truly disappointing to see the potential that was wasted by greed.
As someone who first played Blade Ball just a few months ago and still plays it today, I really loved the game's mechanics and the rewards you get for winning. However, I was instantly disgusted when the Halloween update came around, and it forced you to pay up to get the sword skin that you would unlock after completing DAYS worth of daily tasks just to get it. Oh, and the scythe skin as well? You could only get that through completing daily activities five times in a row, which you can only do by spending either Robux on all four resets, or pay 10k gold 3 times and then pay Robux the final time to get the scythe skin. Even with LITERALLY applying gambling into the game just to get a money-only ability or a sword skin just completely threw the game out of the window. I still play it sometimes, but any time I see someone using a pay-to-win skin, I *might* leave. However, in most cases, instead I'll screw around with someone using Infinity by using Swap to throw them off guard, use Forcefield or Pull.
The dev is young and making money this is roblox not an official company making these games cry about iit
@@ThriftyyyyyyAnd this is a comment section where people can express their opinion on whatever they want, cry about it.
ironic how yall crying about a young dev trying to make money and whining on why he isn't deving for fun. @NgGuanYoong @@NgGuanYoong
cry get a job kid
@@Thriftyyyyyy I do, well not an actual job since I'm not an adult yet, but I teach other kids at school for some money. If that's what you would consider a job.....
This game reminds me a lot of a multipurpose brick. When it was born, it was new and creative , attracting many people. But as more sales of the bricks began, the inventor wanted to exploit the customers for money by making bricks that were much more expensive that had more uses, easily bypassing the cheaper bricks in popularity. Eventually, the price of the new bricks become so high nobody wants to buy them anymore, and so the multipurpose brick lost sales and eventually became unheard of.
Was this a game?

weird example but ok
Hey man this video is great! Keep grinding I was at this point once too it might seem hard but keep going. Great video
I will! Thanks for the encouragment!
@@DocuBlox Np man keep going!
I clicked on your channel to see your other videos and noticed this is your FIRST VIDEO!?! A very informative, educational and interesting video with great editing. Keep it up!! ❤
Don't forget, they nerfed the deflect cooldown, back in the day it was 1 second, now its 3
Also they made vip gamepass cost 1k+ robux instead of 250
Finally someone talks about deflect, i literally played this game before blade ball and when i played blade ball i just couldnt believe that the game was popular

For the people with low attention span and want's to instead read:
• The video explores the success of the game Blade Ball on Roblox, which has gained over 1.4 billion visits and maintained high player counts since its release four months ago.
• It discusses the game's simple concept and fun gameplay, which makes it appear as a casual game to play in free time.
• The video highlights concerns about the game's originality and includes an opinion from a former developer on the current state of the game, suggesting a potential downfall.
• The dark side of the Blade Ball community is mentioned, acknowledging that every community has its negative aspects.
• However, the video also reveals that the Blade Ball community can be welcoming, interactive, and supportive of content creators, contrary to the perception of it being a toxic game.
For some reason this gives me SunnyV2 vibes because of the information and your voice,this is definitely a good channel
Thanks, and You're right! I was definitely going for that lol. Do you have any other video ideas?
@@DocuBlox How about “How Pet Simulator X became P2W”?
@@AngelSpeaksSpanishgood idea
0:02 i guess i'm living under a rock 💀
i am gonna tell you straight up. you are VERY underrated. this video is as good as something that i would see from a bigger youtuber
no, this is just his first video.
@@matixs421 even if. its still good
I started playing blade ball last week because of all the hype, I enjoyed the simplisty of the game and the concepts. Until I realized how p2w it was, I was very disapointed because the game was fun but soooo p2w. I also wanna say ty for this content amazing work I subbed!
Maybe you can play death ball, it better and cooler version of blade ball with fair game i mean idk there p2w but it not that op
how does this dude have less than 1k subscribers with his first video as this masterpiece, good job dude! also, for people who wish for a similar experience to blade ball, try out death ball, it's like blade ball but not p2w and ball bounces off surfaces which is pretty cool, and the abilities you can unlock are not so OP to the point where it's unplayable if one person has them, purely skill based.
Probably because the editing style is generic, it’s one of those dollar store lemmino styles
@@Cahrssomething It's enough to captivate an average viewer, generic =/= bad.
The video is really good with great editing and research. Hope you keep it up!
i played when the first limited sword released and it was a really fun game ngl, simple mechanics, almost no p2w, it was feeling fresh, now i just quit because it got boring like fr, it isnt fun when there is 5 people who afk in the game or when its like 15 people in one small circle. i have a limited sword #4

"Outdated graphics"
I RECOILED in my chair when I heard that holy shit
4:00 I'll admit to being one of those players who don't like copycats, but Blade Ball is a special exception. I recently made a video comparing Deflect and Blade Ball, and I listed out all the reasons why I thought Blade Ball is superior to Deflect in many ways. Because it's not about who did it first; it's about who did it right.
This is a nicely composed video. I may do a reaction to this...
I mean, depends on what you mean by copycats. There are a lot of games that just follow a specific genre or trend or simply just take inspiration from other games that are considered copies for whatever reason. It's annoying to see as a developer, all of these people saying these games are copies when they all have distinct characteristics that separate one another.
You cant really deflect orginal either cuz its literally just dodgeball
"it's about who did it right" there's a difference between how to make a game *right* and how to just make another casino for children
@@keenico7730 There may be a few changes but the gameplay is pretty much the same thing, you hit the ball. thats it.
@@WhenTheBaller555 Yeah but dumbing it down to 'game bad cuz copy!!' is a destructive mindset and it hurts developers who put effort into their games
Ah yes, Jenji Ball, my favorite
i always knew how this game would turn out to be..i played this the very first time it came out, it was completely brand new and the game was quite decent plenty of bugs and errors but it was all fixed later. the game's interface and features were improved however with that came the expense of P2W, i still play blade ball because you can still play blade ball without spending real currency however the toxicity of the community is increasing day by day due to the p2w features of the game and setting a threshold required to be good can only be obtained if you are either highly skilled or use real money.
Blade ball not very p2w than bedwars because the items that need robux its sword skin skin dont make you gameplay very good just make you sword be very good if ability its can be handle by ability name telekinesis only deflect ability type but trust me im always meet p2w everytime im play and blade ball still better than bedwars that need robux for ability if blade ball its JUST SKIN
i am not specifically speaking about skin, im talking about the toxic p2w community, also dont forget the abilities like infinity are like impossible to get due to its rarity nature however it is obtainable if enough robux is invested in it. the sword skins aren't half bad but its the other aspects of the game that makes it unfair, on top the sfx for limited weapons are custom and sound good whereas any common or legendary weapons in bladeball have default sfx, so its kind of unfair even if its "just aesthetics"
@@player_1759
Let me tell you something.
There was a skin that was released a while back. It was a futuristic blaster. Instead of the normal (approximately) 499 Robux for a sword skin, you had to pay 79 Robux for a spin to get a chance at getting the skin, with other measly and pathetic rewards flooding the wheel. You had a 2% chance of getting the first skin, and a guaranteed chance after 50 spins, although the first time you bought a spin per day was 49 Robux. With that bonus, that's 3920 Robux if you aren't lucky (or you realize that the odds may be lying).
There are 2 more skins, both following the same formula.
I don't specifically recall how many days long the event was, but assuming you were to buy them all in the same day, that would amount to 11850 Robux for 3 skins that do nothing.
On top of that, the Christmas event (a reskin of the Halloween vent) was still going on, where if I had to give an estimate as to how much Robux you'd have to spend to get the ability (which required getting 2 skins and an emote I believe) since the odds are about 5%-10% per item and each spin is about 79 Robux or 2000 coins, assuming you spend Robux since it isn't feasibly possible to get that many coins to be able to get all 3 items, that's about 3160 Robux for the 2 5% items (1560 Robux each item) and 790 Robux for the 10% item, totaling 3950 Robux. Reminder, that these are average rates based on what I remember to be the percentages of the items as well as the average rate of winning the spin wheel, meaning it could take many more spins to get one of these items.
And on top of *THAT*, there's also the battle pass which has some of the most absurd quests, such as gifting a Robux item to somebody (a minimum of 60 Robux, as that's the cheapest product in the shop, a handful of coins). Staying in the game a concurrent hour or a total 2-3 hours, winning at least 100 games, winning 20 ranked matches (each match takes about 5-10 minutes since they're split into 2 rounds, meaning a total 100 minutes or hour and 40 minutes of playing ranked matches at the minimum), or killing 15 players, which can be very hard to do if the ball doesn't come towards you or somebody else takes the kill.
No worries, though. You can always pay for experience or to skip forward levels, which will almost always cost you at least 1000 Robux to skip ahead, and from what I recall the minimum XP purchase price is about 300-400 Robux.
Let's add all of this together.
11850 Robux for the blaster skins, 3950 Robux for the special ability and it's items, and an approximate 1500 Robux for the battle pass. That's 17300 Robux.
That's about $216.25.
It takes you $216.25 to get every one of these items, at LEAST. If that isn't P2W, I don't know what is.
TL;DR: Sword skins amount to 11850 Robux, Christmas ability amounts to 3950 Robux and battle pass amounts to about 1500 Robux. Blade Ball is more P2W than every Pet Simulator and Adopt Me combined.
Great video, I really enjoyed Blade Ball when it first came out.
Sad to see that they added so many micro-transactions
As a former legit bladeball player, I can 100% without any doubt say this is all correct, I was playing it when it first came out, not really taking it seriously till it started doing a lot of updates and the new events, it really turned into a particular partial pay to win game, and that’s kinda why I stopped playing as much recently, it’s still a pretty good game but honestly it’s an easy way to waste robux if you have any to spend
aside from the great video and the competence to actually credit lemmino unlike many others i can tell you're due for a jolt in audience count very soon considering you have;
a recognizable name
smooth editing (transitions, music)
and footage of the topic and gameplay
W vid
You deserve so much more, the editing is smooth sound design is also really great, you deffinetly deserve more! ❤❤❤❤
i agree so much with you. infinty is the most p2w ability and with the new duel gamemode in the game the abilities were being abused to the MAX. in 2v2's people abuse forcefield and invisibility or even infinity to farm wins. its so unfair and sure. the game might be good but the current state of it is just trash. just total shit. and it has gotten to a point where most of the time people who have tons of wins only use infinty or forcefield. one time i played the game and i was in a standoff with a infinty kid and he called me trash when he was literally using a ability that makes you invincible. this community is the worst one i have ever seen in my life.
finally someone said it, i've been dying to see a video like this. thanks for making this, keep up the good work!
this feels like ai-generated content
That’s because it is
I heavily agree with this, but now I find it hard to quit because I have spent over 5K ($50) Robux trying to get Infinity on Blade Ball, which makes it hard for me to quit.
bro this script feels like chatgpt wrote it 😭😭
Lol
I noticed this too!! Where it really got me thinking is the parts where he always says "to becoming one of the most"
ai generated thumbnail?
Ye
I actually find this entertaining and yes, i quit blade ball because of p2w. It became so unfair that me and my friend just play some other games like blox fruits. I hope they understand that p2w is not the answer.
New subscriber btw😊
its really offenciv when u get told that you are using an auto clicker when you are just a fast clicker
The asian community are really nice, I mean asian people are actually really respectful so its best to join them
Me personally, i originally played overwatch back in may 2017- December 2021 ofc i knew and played Genji ball. When i saw blade ball i instantly knew it was a cheap knockoff
3 reasons why blade ball shouldn’t exist
1. The greediness of the owners
2. The new event (this is when I watched this)
3. The spins and crates being impossible to get good stuff
4. ME LITERALLY CLICKING THE BALL AND IT DIDNT REGISTER
5. INFINITY ITS SO POWERFUL
6. people with 1,000+ wins (it makes me feel small :()
7. Pls like comment
such a good comment!
KEEP UP THE GOOD COMMENTS
😊
good video and good comment
sorry for wasting time I’m bored
Ok, I’m subbing to this man. This video, made by a creator with only 200 subs, has better quality than some RUclipsrs with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
Holy crap, I just realized that. Even as someone with more subs (as of now), I completely agree with you on this, underrated af.
3:49 you have summoned the TF2 players.
Oh mein gott
They also removed vfx and sfx on certain swords, making the sword basically useless for people who want a unique sword with vfx and sfx, which would probably cause them to spend more money.
I find it funny that as the video stated "Other players hate the Idea of a concept being stolen " Like have they played other games? like basically all of the games are a copy of each other and just made a little alterations to make it seem original.
Back then, infinity was ONLY purchasable with robux when it was released by itself and it was a whoppig 15K~16K robux. I can understand why the players were so mad about infinity users and its toxicity.
the same thing happened to bedwars but the game took super long to die. to only reason people were STILL playing after season 5 was because of tanqr refusing to switch games
what the hell ur brand new to youtube?! yeah this was a very high quality video so imma sub for now!!
Ive played roblox long enough that i know if a game is gen alpha brainrot p2w or just normal
My friend told me come join blade ball (i misheard that as black ball) and when i first joined my mind was like "dude this looks just like another gen alpha brainrot p2w game"
72 Subs and the Quality of a 100K Subs Channel. Great Work!
genji ball first appeared in 2016 with overwatch's first release I believe, as a community game mode
pretty sure the og game is deflect, a really fun game, tho if youve played blade ball you gotta rebuild your skill from the bottom up, they changed the game design recently to try and win back some players after a large mass of them went to blade ball
4:09
"The majority of the playerbase doesnt seem to care. AS LONG AS THE GAME HAS TRANSFORMED THE CONCEPT INTO SOMETHING MORE ENJOYABLE"
*proceeds to show pictures of gambling*
I feel like this game is alot less toxic than other games like blox fruits and strongest battlegrounds. And thats one of the main reasons why i love this game
I remember playing deflect then stopping for like a year after I found blade ball I forgot the name and also tried playing blade ball, but then I stopped for a while to look for deflect, and now I found it, thank you so much!
fun fact: during after lunch in my school my classmate (patrick) goes into a pro server and see a boss fight then another classmate comes (chokun) and tells thats the copy of death ball boss designs which is true (i am a kid so i know this)
I have a secret in blade ball for clashes, in your settings you can add a second button on top of the m1 and F button which if you add the second button to your m2 you now have 3 buttons and easy access to clicking allowing you to clash extremely fast.
And also the game is hellishly laggy now, I used to be completely fine back in September but ever since the October Halloween pass the game has been getting harder and harder to play with the lag and ping spikes nonstop
I pretty wasted 12k+ on blade ball, it is slowly becoming the next psx
The wheel, sci-fi spins are a waste of robux. But the battle pass is the only thing that does not required an insane amount of robux and no gambling for new abilities, sword skins, and emotes. Limited are still getting expensive and f2p players and unfair to them compared to rich players. This is based on my experience.
What they should do is convert coins to battle pass currency or grind for new abilities and sword skins
Ngl I feel like the original pay-to-win game on Roblox was the old skywars games, where you can just buy op starter gear, in turn new players had next to no chance of winning unless they outsmart said pay-to-win players lol
That's actually how a lot of games go down hill on roblox they start out humble and as the game grows they become greedy
It honestly isn't surprising at this point. When a game gets popular with young audiences, the creator or creators just becomes more and more corporate and commercialist. Especially in competitive games with competitive players. Take Pixel Gun 3D, what started out as a beloved childhood FPS game, slowly but surely turned into a P2W cesspool. I have no doubt that within a couple of months, Blade Ball will meet the same fate as so many other respected games.
FINALLY PEOPLE SAID ABOUT GENJI BALL BRO,GENJI BALL WAS OLDEST THING I KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING TO REFLECT BALL FR
Based on the join date, and the fact it seems to be made by AI, I would place my money on this being a new channel for Natty Foreskin to lurk around on. But I can’t be 100% certain.
every update innovates like no other roblox game, you gotta agree, some of these new game modes are really innovative and fun, the devs listen to the community’s feedback and had listened to game modes made by the community and added them into the game,even though there are insanely p2w features, the p2w abilities are only for the 0.01 percent which own them, and additionally the cosmetics are just cosmetics and shouldn’t be complained about. Also, infinity can be countered with skill, (certain abilities). Plus, the rest of the game is f2p, and at the end of the day, it’s a skill-based game, and no p2w can change that.
Bro why does this sound like a start to a 27 hour long documentary lol
i remeber when it first came out, and i had so much fun just grinding for the counter abilility, and using it was SO fun, then i get off for like like a good while, come back to see sychtes and unltimately cool skils costing like 20$ for the full pack or like 10 for each item, and i wanted to get some skills but man, drop rates were lower than genshin drops
I remember when I started playing blade and I remember the most expensive game pass was 200 robux and premium crates were 50 robux then everything went up vip went from 200 to 6 dollars it just became pay to win
I found this game when it only had a few hundred-thousand players ( back when telekenises was the most expensive ability) and I LOVED it, ive stopped playing it once it started doing all the gambling stuff.
Few hundred thousand is a lot
the dash represents few hundred TO a few thousand@@op33226
a lot of kids games are like this. since kids can just ask for money whenever they want and have no bills to pay and whatever, they are basically the richest online people. but they are also the dumbest, paying 50 bucks for items without thinking, so developers just overprice everything because they know kids wont care a bit. it gets even worse when they introduce a gambling thing because thats just setting kids up for gambling scams in the future
This guy is a gigachad for mentioning Genji ball and Pyro ball.
Games about timing I feel have no place in Roblox, due to lag from many variables, high ping, mobile, bad PC, and even low ping can give you lag if the server is laggy or you face someone who’s laggy. Not to mention the delay Roblox has, me and my friends who have very good timing and reaction times straight up cannot play the game without messing up our timing and reaction times because we have to block very early in stead of almost timing it amazingly well in a short window due to the game’s lag rewarding piss poor timing over good timing, not to mention how the game loads new maps every single match as soon as people spawn, my friend can run Fortnite pretty well and he still has a massive lag spike whenever a new map loads because it doesn’t even load before the match starts, even if the map doesn’t change the game still forces you to reload it, it’s incredibly dumb, it’s not a problem in other games where you usually have a good amount of time for the map to load and ping isn’t a high priority, but it isn’t good for a game that requires many variables in order to play well, especially if the person who gets lag spikes starts out with the ball or gets attacked immediately.
blade ball fr turning into to the Pet sim series.
I remember how I used to be addicted to deflect
Before blade ball came out and I was a top player but just quit 😅
off topic but this guy mad good at explaining things 🙏 new favorite roblox documenter, keep it up man
I remember deflect, me and my friend's (mellowedfever) a yt used to play this game so much! But blade ball completely COPIED it, COMPLETELY! Even though I still like blade ball it's just mean to completely copy someone else's hard work, at least make a big change or give credits which they didn't give ANY credits to whom they've copied off of, and to think that these devs are so MONEY HUNGRY. Making you pay to win in these recent Halloween and Christmas updates, making everyone grind for it which is what these devs want. It's vile and some of us can't even have fun because of it's P2W updates. Hopefully in the future they can change this.
Till this day I still don’t know why blox fruit and blade ball are more popular than TDX and other cool games like it
Blox fruits is fun tho
There is a youtuber called foltyn, he spent thousands of robux for the new ability cuz of how RNG it is
im from the middle east - asian community and we are very noice to other players from around the world!
the community is honestly really toxic like yesterday was my first time playing the game and when i got killed by the ball this random ran up to me and did the L emote even tho he wasnt the one who got me💀 i also find it funny how someone would beef with me for no reason i was literally on ps5 and i dont wanna start with the p2w abilities bruh why are ppl using them on new players? having to use infinity on a noob is actually embarrassing and takes no skills
I played blade ball a few weeks before it blew up, around the time when it averaged less than 10k players. And what I enjoyed about it was that it wasn’t pay to win, but since it grew in players I had to watch its demise. I remember first seeing game passes showing up, which I thought was fair since they needed to make money, but soon the unbalanced game passes made me quit the game. Just wanted to say that because I felt like it.
Death ball (Someone’s own take on Death Ball) is also a bit pay to win with exclusive packs for skins and some p2w characters, but the characters you DO have to pay for are still balanced compared to the free to play ones and the skin packs don’t effect gameplay much. I think it’s a million times better than the crap on blade ball if you guys wanna find a fun alternative. It even looks better than Blade Ball’s gui by a mile as well as superior VFX and easier controls. There’s also a much less toxic community too and pro servers don’t require 50 wins, rather only 15.
see blade ball went down hill when a developer called moldy joined the team.
now i have nothing against moldy except the fact he was a dev at voldex which is known to make p2w games.
the idea here is that moldy was the one who influenced the p2w saga in blade ball.
also when moldy was a dev at voldex he worked on zo making it p2w. and when he left voldex to join blade ball the game suddenly became a lot more high quality and the p2w aspect started going away slowly
I played blade ball when it was unpopular and it was not p2w everything costs coins which you can get from winning and killing players. You can get cool swords by spending robux and thats just about it. Now its so p2w
i remember playing bladeball by the end of summer with my bros it had an average of 2 to 3k players. good days
Cap. At the end of summer it had 50k+ players.

tbh blade ball didn't do much except for adding literal gambling machine with absurdly overpowered abilities and skins locked behind gambling
Nice editing I love small creators like you!
Thanks a lot!
I used to play deflect, and sure even that was inspired by something similar but I was mad seeing the exact same game have thousands of more players.

DAMN THIS IS YOUR ONLY VIDEO?!
AND YOU ONLY HAVE 425 SUBS? I SWEAR I THOUGHT I WAS WATCING A DOCUMENTARY OF SOMEONE WHO HAD AT LEAST 10K SUBS, IF NOT MAYBE 100K.
Good luck man, I love your video essay style and I will be watching you as you succeed!

Driving Empire: And I took that personally.
(Driving Empire is becoming to be good again because Voldex added licensed cars so that means players cant contact car manufacturers anymore because the car models are licensed. This is EXTREMELY better than the "Gambling Phase" of Driving Empire.)
I completely agree with all of the statements in this video. I do agree that the community is very toxic, and that the devs got very money hungry about making money about making very over powered abilities such as infinity, and making you craft ability with other items that cost robux. The one thing that I just don't understand though is that why do players always care about if the game is original or not? I can understand if the game is p2w, (which the game is) but I just don't understand what is the point of quitting when the game is just a copy?
at the start of the game, there was nothing to do with robux at all, no skills, no cosmetics, just generally feeling better than DEFLECT for me ,,, now the game has battle passes, cosmetics worth thousands of robux, even broken skills for absurd amounts of money ,, i can't really join any servers without some auto-parrying people
This was one of the shortest lived games, it lived about 1 month, and then died
bladeball literally only wants money. thats all the devs are concerned about. please take a careful look at this artical, as im sure you cant agree better to what im about to say:
1. p2w - bladeball devs just want greed and money over their player's happiness. take for example, this vid was posted 3 months ago (from when im watching it). there are also a ton more of other famous content creators who made vids about the same topic, and many have mention bladeball devs and p2wness.
2. not changing or caring about their community - bladeball surely have come over across some of these blade ball downfall vids, as they are growing quite viral and get many views. many people also must have complained about this problem of devs being p2w, but they have obviously IGNORED us and TOTALLY DONT CARE. not only have they added "Lunar new year spins", a new DRAGON ability that is ABSOLUTELY OVERPOWERED AND P2W, but they also added ADDS into a game. Adds. In. A. Roblox. Game. This proves that they just want more money no matter what people say, to the point where they have a freaking VIDEO of an ADD in their lobby. This is ridiculous, im asking for a refund of all my items. DISGUSTING.
dont forget, battle quest in nintendoland, there was an enemy that threw a ball at you and you needed to deflect it to kill the enemy, so just blade ball but an enemy in a single player / local multiplayer game
Guys in my opinion the reason blade ball fell off to me and my friends was that the game only wanted your money. It would constantly tell us that if you spend this amount of robux then you can get cooler and stronger abilities it isent like the grind that you will have fun with in deathball bc you still have to grind the lvl to get your abilities
I played deflect when it was still new and I was flabbergasted when blade ball came out
theres another thing that probably makes the game had its downfall
time.
you see, theres something called a Wheel Spin in blade ball
its only accessible by 30 mins or 15 mins
and this caused MANY, MANY players to rejoin after they get the final playtime reward since its gonna reset once you rejoined
and theres one ability that had a really huge advantage called rapture
rapture is basically like the ability raging deflect, but has a longer cooldown and higher power
the players kept doing it over and over again until some realised that its not worth it and they spent most of their time getting just a single ability
and idk if this is correct, but time = money, more time = more money
and with the amount of unfair gamepasses and abilities that are only affordable in events which is an unfair sight for the new players, not to mention the combination of p2w abilities and unfair items.
take Phantom for example, it needs a sword THAT ISNT EVEN HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO GET EVEN IF YOU HAVE 50 TRIES plus INFINITY!
the devs are just GREEDY, its like ANY other popular game in the old days, like Zo Samurai. (thanks gavman0208 for the idea)
the devs continue to make more unfair gamepasses to the game and put it at high prices, until the game is either taken down or reaches its final stage of downfall.
so thats my theory... if you even call that a theory
