Having played Azur Lane for 2 weeks now, I don't think I could ever go back to Kancolle, though its already been almost a year since I quit anyway. Events in Kancolle are some of the most infuriating, unfair things I've experienced in a game. Only being allowed to use certain ships on a map, having 4+ separate shiplocks, forcing you to have dozens of lvl 70+ ships. Having to grind a map for hours on end, sometimes under specific circumstances to get the drop you want; lets also not forget having a preboss node full of boss level enemies, any one of which can one-shot your ships and force you to retreat, leaving every sortie to RNG. Compared to that, I can use whatever ships I want, and it doesn't feel as frustrating having lower level ships. Being able to get rare ships in the gatcha is also a plus and I already have all but one of the event drops after a single day. I can see myself playing AL for a while, and can see Kancolle start to sink due to the publisher being a nightmare.
