# I just stared playing Brawlhala about a week ago, and I am still learning the game. I'm genuinely trying to figure out how am I supposed to get any better at the game if I genuinely can only practice playing against bots in tutorial/offline that does nothing to actually help me get better when it comes to playing real players... I want to get actual practice in against real players, but its impossible to play against people that are in my skill level. No matter what I play in Ranked (1000-1200 ELO) or Unranked 1v1's I'm most of the time playing against people that already have learned the game, and I just get punished... Playing passive or aggressive neither works when playing said players. Even after sitting much of the 75 hours I have tallied up on the game so far practicing movement, learning hitboxes, combos, sigs and spacing with Greatsword, Sword, Axe, Katars, and Hammer on my 3 main legends Jaeyun, Mako, and Bodvar. It really doesn't matter because as soon as I jump into a real match with real players.... Most of the time I am playing against people that should NOT BE IN 1000-1100 ELO or are playing unranked just because! THEY KNOW THE GAME MUCH MORE THAN THE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD ACTUALLY BE IN SAID ELO or the people that should actually be practicing in unranked!

# With that being said, man... My fun is totally ruined and Brawlhala just seems stressful. It genuinely makes me rethink about committing to continue playing the game. I feel like ill be stuck in this loophole of practicing against bots/offline and that practice not being worth anything because ill just be playing smurfs, or people that purposely throw their placements so they can play low ELO players.... I honestly don't see how said players have any fun ruining the fun and learning curve for new/learning players like myself.. 😔😒 

# Thanks for everyone that actually stuck around and read through my discussion and I would really appreciate it if I could get some insight on ways to learn the game and get better so I could actually challenge real humans/players... 😖
