Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League has been faced with backlash after backlash. The newest superhero live-service game from Rocksteady Studios is not meeting DC fans’ expectations.
The Season 1 Episode 1 update dropped on March 28, and fans are still not happy. With the additions of Elseworld Joker and new weapons, how the update is structured, and the overall content have left much to be desired.
It seems that Rocksteady doesn’t understand how to bridge their seasonal updates with the current player base to keep them engaged. If players are still upset with how Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is being handled, how are new players expected to come in and have fun?
Why Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League Season 1 Flopped?
Since Suicide Squad Season 1 has launched, fans have been very vocal on social media about their dislike on the update.
Holding out for the past two months, hoping this new update would bring new life to Suicide Squad, for it to only cause more frustration within the community.
this is truly bizarre. Everything is reset back to mastery 1 when I was like 80 before so all my builds just crush through everything until I do enough to actually get Joker. I don't understand this format whatsoever

The update itself includes a number of changes, including new missions, weapons, skins, and, of course, the Elseworld Joker. Rocksteady also balanced certain gameplay mechanics to make it more streamline and fixed a ton of bugs.
Despite what it may look on the surface, Season 1 of Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League has not provided much to the players who expected more from this update. There are no new story missions, Joker isn’t unlocked at the start, and there’s more grinding.
To unlock Joker, players must first reach Season Rank 35, which will require them to grind out 15 to 20 missions. For Rocksteady to not have the Joker unlockable at the start is bizarre, to say the least. On top of the lack of new story content, this update was destined to fail.
