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
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
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
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)
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.
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
Hello! I just wanna mention that some of the blade ball disc server admins sometimes close general after updates. (not sure why) After it was closed admins in general beg for discord nitro and will give perms to speak in general when its closed in return and it's just wild. Im not sure if they stopped this but i do remember it happening.
The greediness has even spread to the admins! 😢
A lot of discord servers for games close when it gets updated because it would be spammed because of the hype (especially if the update is delayed) but the discord nitro thing is weird
its very normal for games to close chats because its constantly gets spammed and its hard to moderate, but begging for nitro is just a new low
Bro thats just abusing of power
@@CrimsickleI agree
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.
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
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
@@VastThriftyyAnd 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
@@VastThriftyy 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!
The video is really good with great editing and research. Hope you keep it up!
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!! ❤
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.
You deserve so much more, the editing is smooth sound design is also really great, you deffinetly deserve more! ❤❤❤❤
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 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
finally someone said it, i've been dying to see a video like this. thanks for making this, keep up the good work!
Ah yes, Jenji Ball, my favorite
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
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
Fr
just earned a new sub. Love how this video was laid out. I hope you make more videos like these
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
Great video, I really enjoyed Blade Ball when it first came out.
Sad to see that they added so many micro-transactions
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
Nice editing I love small creators like you!
Thanks a lot!
This channel is so underrated, you got my like and sub, hope to see more of this in the future!
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.
0:02 i guess i'm living under a rock 💀
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!
off topic but this guy mad good at explaining things 🙏 new favorite roblox documenter, keep it up man
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.
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
What video editing software do you use? And what presets? I really like this style of editing.
Subscribed! I very liked this video,and waiting for the next one! Have a great day
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
this feels like ai-generated content
That’s because it is
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.
Good video, and very high quallity!
bro this script feels like chatgpt wrote it 😭😭
Lol
ai generated thumbnail?
Ye
Love this video really underated! You deserve more definetly subbing. Hopefuly you can pull in more views because your editing is really good even the audio Good luck to you! Please remember me when you get famouse!
This made my day! Thanks!
Nice editing and good info. You are so underrated❤
Thanks a lot! Do you have any ideas what video I should make next?
@@DocuBloxhonestly just do what’s popular usually does good lol.
Also don’t stop the grind on making videos for YT it will all payoff eventually! Everyone starts from somewhere.
And a new pet simulator game called pet simulator 99 is coming out soon and I’d imagine there would be a bunch of drama from how pay 2 win the game will be so I’d keep top on that game when it comes out Friday 😂
pretty well edited i like it have a new sub man
Thanks a lot!
Wow I just realized this is your first video! This video was really good keep up the good work!
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
3:48
"Outdated graphics"
I RECOILED in my chair when I heard that holy shit
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
ur content is actually amazing, Here before 500 subs! keep up the good work man, i didnt even know u were so small for such amazing work
Holy Crap, Your first video is so good! I know you will be famous one day with quality content like this! Definetly Subscribing
im glad in your 433rd subscriber, cant wait for your new videos to blow up
Ok, I’m subbing to this man. This video, made by a creator with only 200 subs, has better quality than some UA-camrs 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.
this channel is super underrated deserves a sub
Bro, this is exactly what i was looking for while I was eating. You deserver at least 1m subs
im gonna sub this video is so underrated i know ur pain editting those videos because i was doing some vids aswell keep it up man
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.
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
Damn this channel underrated, new sub bro
This is honestly GREAT for your first video.
This video was more dramatic than it should have been lmao. Subbed!
I liked the idea of new limited sword skins coming out for people to buy to show other people what the game really is or they just like its design
Could you make a video on the rise of the strongest battlegrounds next DocuBlox?
Holy sh, Dope Video!!
Definitely needs this channel to get blown up.
Hope so!
@@DocuBloxu definitely will very good contentttttttt
what the hell ur brand new to youtube?! yeah this was a very high quality video so imma sub for now!!
genji ball first appeared in 2016 with overwatch's first release I believe, as a community game mode
Bro why does this sound like a start to a 27 hour long documentary lol
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
This man deserves a incredible amount of subscribers
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!
:)
i remember when i discovered deflect, a game made before blade ball with basically the same concept, it was doing really well until blade ball was made. now it averages 200 players most of which r ogs, i still play it, its fun
72 Subs and the Quality of a 100K Subs Channel. Great Work!
The fact that they show “prove “ by showing hands, but some dont click and they still clash do it is easy to tell who is and who isnt
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
BRO YOU MAKE SUCH GOOD CONTENT KEEP IT UP MY GUY
this video needs to be in a lot more people's algorythm
I got nothing to say. Small sub and big meaning of the video,Absouleutly marvelous.
This whole vid felt like an intro, make an hour long version bro
I played deflect when it was still new and I was flabbergasted when blade ball came out
underrated content tbh you deserve more
I'd honestly like to hop in a vc and talk to you as someone who was there from the start of the game to the time I quit.
Hey bro u just gained a sub! Your so good and thanks for the fantastic info! 💕
Thanks a lot! I wonder what I should make next.
@@DocuBlox You should do a video on how RDC 23 got cancelled
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.
blade ball fr turning into to the Pet sim series.
you should make a video on combat warriors and its downfall
ain’t no way you’re this. underrated New subscriber!
Thanks!
Oh dayum it’s this guys first video
I’m here since 100 subs 🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the game that made me swore never to play a pvp game with my friends
bro i fr remember it having like 600 players when i joined
I never knew this game existed 💀💀💀
Love watching a video about a downfall of a game I've never heard of
W vid man nice edits 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I remember playing the game at the start and it was fun they did weekly limiteds but now it is pretty p2w
I remember how I used to be addicted to deflect
Before blade ball came out and I was a top player but just quit 😅
damn they just started existing that was fast
This video is amazing man, Top tier video.
Thanks man!
The devs put every kind of microtransaction they could think of. It feels more like a store than a game now.
as a public tester i feel betrayed
Can you make a video about the game phighting?
