Suggestions

While there is already a post about every part of this suggestion as a separate post, I would like to suggest something that all connects it together to make a whole new mechanic with lots of possibilities. I will copy the parts into the comments of the separate suggestions as well. Iron Feet removal I have already seen the Bucketheads talk about a potential change in Iron Feet before. With the idea that you could walk on structures. And making the structures less breakable for flying. I would like to say, please do!!! Only make a structure break when it is also supposed to damage you. This would make flight feel way more like an intended mechanic. Currently the structures are too fragile when mounting or changing directions in flight due to the Iron Feet mechanic. And the ability to walk + dash + jump on structures would be really cool as well. This removes the Baby Jail exploit where you can make someone get stuck, unable to move on top of a structure. It can even result in the creation of minigames by the community. For example creating your own parkour maps. Problem and solution There is one concern though, that you can't break through structures at all anymore when falling down. Solution is a new versatile move that allows you to break stuff below you: Ground Pound , or probably best to just call it Pound in game. Ground pound Create a blastwave on the ground that gives knockback around you. It does no damage, but kind of works like a weaker explode knockback, but your feet are the source of the knockback and doesn't affect the user. If you stand or fall on top of a structure, you break it, replacing the Iron Feet mechanic. When a structure has Explode on it, you will negate the explosion knockback. When done from the air you fall down 50% or maybe even 100% faster and the knockback power of the blastwave at landing on the ground is slightly increased. When you touch the ground you immediately stop all momentum. As you kind of ground yourself for a moment. So this can be used to cancel player knockback. This move can be done while still in knockback state from being hit if you react in time. Countering criticized gameplay This will make it a stunlock counter, the combos where a player juggles you in the air, while you can do nothing at all but accept your fate as you never touch the ground before you die. If walking on structures won't be a thing, then at least this will also make you able to escape a Baby Jail. And this will finally add a counter to the huge player knockback of a volatile explosions, which can frequently one shot you of the ring. But to use this to protect yourself you of course need to react in time, so it's no guaranteed way to safe yourself, so these tech still have their use, they just stop being overpowered. Pose Since the move is movement based, the pose should follow similar rules to dash and jump, with one hand at base pose. The other probably around the kick position. There should be a relative long cooldown on this move, making you unable to spam it, so you need to time it well. Creative playstyles This would be quite a versatile pose. Used for movement, breaking structures, close distance defense, player knockback recovery and it's small blast can add power to a combo for offense. These changes will help shake up the meta. Currently explode is a bit too powerful, so the meta revolves around putting explode to almost anything. Flight is quite unreliable and dangerous, so it's almost never used in competition. And almost no one dares to fight in close range because of how overpowered stunlock kills are. These changes will give a bit more room for creative playstyles to survive. While giving a logical new option to the move set

I think a gamemode with more players could be fun.

Send a direct match invite, just like park invites, that will give a notification we can accept. With a big friend list you will sometimes match with the wrong person in friends matchmaking. And it's unclear when the friend you made plans with is actually ready so you can wait a long time in friend matchmaking resulting in multiple missmatches. This can be prevented with a direct invite. Would be nice if that worked cross region and automatically puts you in their region. You can accept the invite from the park friends board. And to prevent people stalking you, it only work for those who accepted your friend request.

at the end of game next to (or pherhaps below) the replay button there should be a replay but with different map button, so you won't have to requeue 18 times to get the right map

While cosmetics and titles have been great, we're slowly running out of things to buy. 3 people have already bought everything in the shop, and more are approaching. I know Buckethead is already working on more cosmetics, and I think that's great, especially if they start to make it regular with each new update, but I feel like we could also use Gear coins for more things. My idea was to have expensive unlockables in the gym, such as a large training area, or even just silly things like trophies and graffiti. I think this would give a lot of personality to the gym, and would be a cool thing to work towards.

Getting knocked out (full HP depleted/falling into a "kill-zone") could still be an immediate round end, but (in addition to that) perhaps there could be a secondary win condition connected to a round time limit and, if that time expires, the player with the most remaining HP would win that round. (This may, theoretically, allow as a win condition the possibility of getting one disc hit against your opponent and then turtling/evading/flying/clipping out of the map and sitting there until the round timer is up, but at least the rounds would have a set end point and someone who is able to do that effectively may not have incentive to continue doing so for very long since it might not be sustainably fun and other people are probably less likely to continue playing with them much if they don't find that fun. However, adding a round loss timer if you're out of bounds for too long might be useful to alleviate that part.) I personally think 5 minutes makes sense for a hard cut-off, but... ...what are your thoughts? Edit: Perhaps the timer could be up on the wall behind on each side of the fighting arena and be an analog styled "physical" object in the style of other mechanical objects in RUMBLE? Perhaps it could start audibly ticking as the round timer is almost out and then a "round over" sound could play when the round finishes this way.

In the current state of the game, stubborn heavily dominates the meta. I don't think I have to go too in depth on why, it's been said a lot; but to make it short: In my opinion, the two issues are Ignores knockback, and with it half the gameplay on ring Basically acts as a permanent -1 damage in higher tempo play, which becomes even more problematic when combined with adamant. My suggestion is a radical rework; instead of reducing damage by 1, effectively rewarding you for dashing head on into structures, we make the dash faster, longer* and immune to knockback, but you take one MORE damage if you get hit by dashing. This would let it retain it's place as a really aggressive, rush stone, but reward weaving through your opponent's attacks at high speed instead of just tanking them, while still leaving the option open to avoid a ring-out or close that last bit of distance at the cost of hp. That way, stubborn would turn into a calculated tradeoff that you have to think about using (like most other stones) instead of making "dash into the incoming structure" the best option in a lot of cases. *I'm not sure if a longer dash would actually be good, let me know what yall think

Given that it's so hard to find an enemy during matchmaking, I personally switch to other regions just to find an enemy. I care less about the ping then. To make this easier, I would like to be able to select several regions (or all at once) while going into matchmaking. Right now I have to pick one region -> wait -> unable to find enemy -> switch region -> go into matchmaking -> repeat

This suggestion is not for better camera options for your own matches, this is for joining in other peoples public matches as a spectator. Go spectate in VR, or you can spectate without going in VR at all. Only matches where both players set their games to public can be watched. If both players in a match have set in their match settings that spectators are allowed, then that match will be added to the list of matches you can spectate. People who start Rumble with or without VR have the option to go into spectate game mode. In this mode you will see the list of all matches able to be spectated. When you spectate you become a camera that can fly around to look at any location. You can either manually control the camera. Or you can use camera modes that automatically focus on the battle. VR spectator Fly around to where you want to look and just look around. Flatscreen Spectator Smooth freecam, fly the camera around with keyboard+mouse or controller, with smoothed motions. Spectate through the eyes of a certain player. Camera that automatically follows the action. Ability to switch easily between these mode, and able to zoom in or out. In the corners there will be the title cards of the players that are playing. Under that their health. Current session match score and round score. And a host/client icon. This UI can be toggled off for clean content creation. No actual spectators rendered in game to make sure it does not impact game performance. This would be amazing for content creation and tournaments and a fun way to chill when too tired to play yourself.

Both of the current maps have great components. However, they are both symmetrical, which somewhat limits the dynamic potential of a fight. I think something like a half pit, half ring map would be cool. A cliff map. One side of the map would have a wall that prevents ring out, while the other side is open and allows for ring out. This would force players to fight for position much more aggressively. For balance, the cliff side could perhaps have some nooks you could get cornered in if you are not careful. Asymmetry in map design can lead to more thrilling fights.
