candidate for the SHITTIEST game in the world

I'm sorry, but agar.io has devolved into one of the worst, if not the worst multiplayer games to ever exist. I will post my arguments about why it's such a horrible game.

  1. Repetitive gameplay. A simple gameplay style may be fun for a while, but it just gets bland after a year or so. It gets even worse when you realize that there is only one meta for the entire game's history, and that is teaming with someone else.
  2. Game regulation by a greedy, stupid, and plagiaristic company that has absolutely no idea of how to fix the game. Everything miniclip has done only worsened the game by shifting the meta into a savage-filled mess with no way of countering the top players 9 out of 10 times. Every single time, miniclip only releases skins to milk money out of the game without adding new features to make the game have more options. When they finally announced a new game mode, it turns out to be a ripoff of the hunger games idea from agariomods that they only added in because the second shittiest game in the world, Fortnite, got popular, and being the lazy fags that miniclip employees work like, they introduced battle royale mode as a pathetic attempt to draw the fortnite 8 year olds into playing this trash. Good suggestions get completely ignored, and it's not like they can't steal ideas from people who aren't retards. Literally going on an agar.io related community would give them loads of options on how to improve, but no, they won't listen. The unregulated game has allowed bots to be exploited in EVERY server. Right now, I estimate around 85-90% of players on agar.io are fake, bot accounts made to boost one player's mass. The servers have absolutely no security to keep someone from hacking. In fact, a discovered mass exploit that caused hackers to spawn with 20k mass wasn't fixed until MONTHS later. The supposed mass decay feature in solo modes to prevent teaming has been completely exploited causing the teamers to be affected the least while they spread cancer over FFA and Experimental, and it's not like the exploit was newly discovered. It has been this way for OVER 2 YEARS. Don't even get me started on how they made team mode devolve into an unplayable mess, causing even more players to team on FFA.
  3. No fun whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, there was a time where agar.io was fun, after all. This is how a typical gameplay went in the old days of 2015 agar.io. You spawn, collect pellets, move around, avoiding bigger cells that won't normally split 16 on you for no reason. You get to medium size, then you can choose to split for smaller cells or fire viruses at bigger cells, whether to eat them or just to troll (but at least the bigger cell won't lose half their mass after you hit them with 2-3 viruses) You then eat the bigger cell after chasing their split up parts, getting on the leaderboard, fight other leaderboard players and either win and get to first, or die to someone more skilled than you. That was the average old gameplay. That was fun and what a multiplayer game should be. Here's how it goes in 2019. You spawn, die immediately because you spawned right next to someone with 4 times your mass that split for you, respawn, die again to some fag who split 16 in your area, respawn again, pissed off, cussing at the screen, finally collect enough mass to get to medium size, fight other medium sized cells, then the other cell proceeds to shoot a single W pellet at a bigger cell, and that bigger cell gives all their fucking mass to the cell you're fighting for absolutely no fucking reason, then the cell you were fighting proceeds to split 16 and kill you. In the one out of 43 fucking septillion times that you actually make it to #1, you get cucked by a cartel of 5 retards firing literally undodgeable viruses at you from all directions until you pop and they dump all their mass into that one nub that then splits for you and eats your biggest piece, and if that isn't enough, that fucking asshole teamer would proceed to split 16 and savage you with no chance of escaping even if you have like 30 viruses that you would otherwise be able to take cover behind. You then proceed to quit the game for a month or two, and when you finally play again, the SAME. FUCKING. THING. Spawn, die, respawn, die, respawn again, die, until you realize that this game is the most miserable type of bad game design to even be possible, write a post like this on the subreddit and quit forever.

Now let's talk about the fandom. In other games, most people call a fandom bad if its community or fandom is toxic, cringey, or too entitled. This is not the case for agar.io. The game itself after a while becomes unappealing and frustrating, rather than a fun way to spend free time. The updates (or lack thereof) made the game worse and instead of a purely toxic community, we get a community that loses hope of the game because of its developers, which is arguably worse. In fact, Many players who quit the game in 2016-2017 actually were better at the mechanics of the game than even the best players in 2019; they quit out of boredom that the game never changes. Miniclip? more like "Minimal fun to all games I own."
