It really is a dice roll. Sometimes it's almost offline, sometimes it makes you wish to pull all your hair out.
When it comes to mechanics, the game overall is a laughing stock and shouldn't be taken seriously. Online is just small part of the problem. No balance, no hitboxes, no inputs, random throws and stance switches... So only way to enjoy it is to turn your brain off, press buttons and watch a bunch of cool nonsense happening. Funnily enough this is the best NRS slop by far.
