- Ass Pull: In 2016, Urban Rivals released a comic, Room 13th (True Detectives) revealing what inside the room, Room 13 in the Red One Motel and the invention of the Xantiax gas since 2011 when the Berzerk clan was released and have the room being mentioned in each card's bios but no foreshadowing on what's inside. The reveal? It's Robb from All Stars and GHEIST created the gas.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In the one of the game's comics, Kolos: Back To Lost World where Kolos tells his backstory to his son, Rage, the art shifts into a Sanrio-esque flashback where he appeared as a kid but got bullied. Thankfully, the art verts back to normal and it was never mentioned.
- It's was an April Fools' prank that UR pulled off in 2017 but still.
- Game-Breaker: A good way to tell if a card fits this is if they're permanently banned in ELO.
- Power Creep, Power Seep: A sad inevitability in a game where new cards periodically come out. It's gotten so bad that not only are some older cards rendered completely obsolete, but a few clans who haven't been updated in a while play with a clear disadvantage altogether.
- Squick: All lot of the cards' illustrations has gross-out aesthetics that can make a player lose their appetites while they're playing, mostly from the one of the new commissioned artists, NICOLASROSSIUSISNOTEVIL.
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Through the years, some players did not like how the staff change the site's interface before being on mobile.note
- Some didn't like the switching of Flash to WebGL before Adobe discontinued their Flash Player in New Year's Eve 2020.
- Some did not like some newer clans with new abilities, bonuses and stats being overpowered or broken.
- Some of them did not like the old cards' redesigns(or as the discontinued card gimmick; Rebirths).
- Some thought the game died and accused on one of the staff, Saga), thinking he killed the game for good.
