I feel like they did ye
#Mahvel Rivals baby
fervent pulsar
teal mist
Especially with the amount of heroes that just absolutely murder them
fervent pulsar
It'snot that helpful when everyobe has movement
I've pulled enemies out of the sky as Wolverine
teal mist
Flyers are just free points for Punisher and Hela
fervent pulsar
And just straight up hunted Iron Man as Iron Fist
He's basically free
Iron Fist can absolutely just fuck flyers up
runic apex
yeah im playing iron man right now feels f teir just like storm
they are good in exacrtly one moment
if nobody is playing a single ranged hero
teal mist
iron man can abuse angles at least with his aoe
unique storm
Also I can't believe Hawkeye is just concept Hanzo, before he was split into Hanzo and Genji.
runic apex
tried strange did ok
green junco
Throw a bunch of psi shruikens at him and then double dash up to finish it Genji style
runic apex
ok i just kinda rocked with mantis in supporting our starlord
green junco
I like Peni when I play her as an off tank
Or on defense
Toss her generator down in a secluded area and hold it to avoid people running at you
fervent pulsar
was looking for an offense kind of tank and she is not that
green junco
Keep spamming mines
runic apex
she can be useful on payloud defense
fervent pulsar
i'm very much someone who fucking runs headfirst into battle
so she does not work for me at all
sand oracle
was looking for an offense kind of tank and she is not that
her ult allows you to do that pretty well
but yeah you want to have a good place to stick the nest and then you just play around it
fervent pulsar
yeah not my style
sand oracle
I think thor is about as divey a hero as you can get
runic apex
ive almost tried every hero
sand oracle
because venom is just kinda awful
fervent pulsar
yeah
sand oracle
also it does, technically. if they cross the border it does a bit of damage and slows
fervent pulsar
yeah i still just
don't really get this game very well
i keep alternating hard between getting fucking curbstomped and actually doing well
literally no idea why
alternating between ripping through an entire team like a hot knife through butter and being unable to get a single kill
runic apex
panther feels wierd
runic apex
his kit feels like two kits slapped together
dense remnant
ive run into some horrifying;y good ones
Gotta let the devil in
runic apex
panther needs more dash charges
we barely won show
also doing dmaage at low hp isnt a good trait to have
i think i just have bruce left
fervent pulsar
also FYI twitch drops are available atm
the one i already unlocked is 30 mins of watch time
runic apex
the final hero bruce banner
severe zephyr
Twitter
runic apex
thats every hero done now
actully kinda liked bruce wierdly enough
the charged spam lacks a cooldown
fervent pulsar
with these twitch drops i'll be one step closer to getting the achievement thing for having 5 skins
runic apex
so the heros i enjoyed the most were, for vnaguard peni and bruce,(strange and thor might get a another try later). for strat loki and luna. for duelist hawkeye, psylock,scarlet,starlord,winter,namor and moon magick i didnt do good with but i kinda want to learn her
fervent pulsar
i fuck with Thor, Wolverine and Iron Fist
unique storm
My only complaint is they only have tutorials for like eight heroes.
fervent pulsar
yeah
runic apex
i don't think it matters too much with the training area
theres probally a few people here that probaly have a few favorites they can teach as well
runic apex
spiderman/venom is probally the two hardest to paly
velvet sinew
The web-swinging is so like
It's fun once you get it down
But you're gonna die a lot by just fuckin yeeting yourself into pits
But that moment when you swing up behind a team and yoink Rocket off of Groot's back and uppercut him in the air
priceless
runic apex
namor is wierd iin that im not sure if he hs actully weak but i find alot of his ablities lack luster ina way i kinda want to see them changed
fervent pulsar
But that moment when you swing up behind a team and yoink Rocket off of Groot's ...
i love flanking with Wolverine and just fucking appearing from behind the whole enemy team and grabbing one of them and just vanishing back into my teams lines witht hem
runic apex
he can jump and have a shield for a few seconds, summon mions that die fast, and have really good spears
fervent pulsar
gonna go steal one of your squishies
runic apex
it felt he was kinda carried by his spears and ult
fervent pulsar
you will not be getting them back
velvet sinew
I need to give wolverine a try
fervent pulsar
he's fun
but a bit weak
he needs a severe damage boost
atm he's basically working best as an assassin i find
velvet sinew
I do love assassins
runic apex
also one thing ifeel the devs did is really overrate flight
silver helm
yeah flying characters need to be faster and sharper with their movement
people can in fact look up at the iron man damaging half the team
runic apex
bot hstorm and ironman kinda also have slow projectiles too
fervent pulsar
my favourite passtime in the game is just fucking flying up at Iron Man players trying to do anything while playing Iron Fist
POV you are Iron Man trying to escape me while i'm playing Iron Fist:
flying means NOTHING i have triple jump and homing fists, you are not escaping
silver helm
yeah they need to buff flier health, speed, and sharpness so that all the "GET DOWN FROM THERE" abilities, and iron fist triplejumping, and faster projectiles, and more don't obliterate fliers
teal mist
Yeah like, did Hawkeye need a flying-cancel projectile, he already can just.. shoot them
If there's a Hela Widow or Punisher they just Cannot Exist
maiden radish
Yeah agreed flying characters are just ugh
severe zephyr
runic apex
i fele like magic's upercut could ues some tracking
not a lot
just a little
ok yeah magick feels like this needsa bit more
unique storm
runic apex
honestly wolvrine is probally gonna loes that fight
fervent pulsar
Sadly yeah
runic apex
solder still feels good
potent adder
Moon Knight is busted lol
dry roost
what does random bs man do
potent adder
I went 30 and 3 with him the first game I played him

what does random bs man do
He hits the entire team at once
dry roost

potent adder
With everything
fervent pulsar
Dracula owes him money
and by Khonshu's very own fist, is he going to fucking collect
potent adder
His boomerangs bounce between people and he can bounce them off ankhs which can bounce to other ankhs which can bounce between people to ankhs
potent adder
Dracula owes him money
I love that they made that canon to this game
fervent pulsar
it's based as hell
runic apex
i dont think he is broken just people havent learned the anks yet
he loses a lot o fpower if you destro yhem

Blade could have to swap between sword and gun modes but is higher damage, Wade can fluidly combo but hits less hard? Or vice versa.

yeah I feel the same way, rocket my beloved
teal mist
Rocket and Loki.. <3
Finally, healers with fun kits T-T
I feel like a lot of Loki power is folks not knowing what's going on though, noticing a lot more people actually destroy my healrocks
velvet sinew
Well
now that Marvel Rivals has re-ignited my enjoyment of marvel media in a certain way
Time to catch up on everything I haven't seen
teal mist
Luna and Mantis feel a lot more in line with healfolk
In the beta she was kinda wild
They gave all their power to Jeff though feels like
lapis aspen
Does anyone have any tips for playing Jeff, I've been trying to like put healing spots around points and stuff but during actual fire fights no one uses them?
Is it even worth actually doing that, or is it more valuable to shoot them during a firefight?
wanton salmon
Does anyone have any tips for playing Jeff, I've been trying to like put healing...
ive been developing a "healers theory" since tf2
"people are fucking stupid and deserve to have their characters die because they will activly walk away from a heal zone into an aoe, but if i let them do that i lose too, so just keep yourself alive and throw random bullshit into chokepoints, unless you have people you can coordinate with on mike"
raven summit
Twitter
sand oracle
I feel like a lot of Loki power is folks not knowing what's going on though, not...
loki really benefits from putting the doppelgangers in hard to reach places, or by holding a charge to drop a healing stone on a teammate in need
fervent pulsar
how the fuck people already doing this shit
i haven't even unlocked comp yet ๐ญ
sand oracle
also his ult is just kinda nutso
teal mist
What if Any Ult is so powerful and so fun to choose
Teammate or Enemy was a great choice
runic apex
when i played loki i played him more like a ranged fireing squad
fervent pulsar
trynna get kills when the enemies have a healer on them is such a hassle
just pulling up on someone, completely dominate, and then be unable to get the confirm cause their healer is healing them quicker than you are killing them
runic apex
i actully think solo healing isnt that bad in this game
depending on who your playing and the map
adam and jeff feel like they can probally solo heal pretty decently
fervent pulsar
yeah
runic apex
rocket is kinda wierd i feel he is kinda weak honestly
unless you have punisher/solder/groot
wanton salmon
i like holding charges and being able to pocket tank
drop all charges infront of a squishy person, become invisible, walk back a little
now they have to tunnel through lokis while you shoot them
dense remnant
Been settling on Punisher & Mantis, so far
fervent pulsar
been crushing it as Iron Fist
wanton salmon
i only played like an hour last night lmao
runic apex
winter solider is my fav
fervent pulsar
who has shields
runic apex
strange,magneta,and cap
teal mist
I like Magneto but also wouldn't be surprised if he got a bit of a boost
wanton salmon
caps is more self shield, theres a few other self shielders too
wanton salmon
magnetos classic swords and halo
runic apex
i had a fun moment with rocket and winter where i just dumped arounds nito something
teal mist
love when randoms remember to use teamups
runic apex
the strange/hulk one is dectnly strong
teal mist
People never seem to expect Strange Burst
But he can really pop 250hp
Also portal has some interactions
runic apex
i think the portal will get nerfed at some point
its just too early for people to break the game with it yet
but its range is insane
dense remnant
Got the Mantis team wipe achievement ๐
fervent pulsar
grinding out the daily quest stuff atm
gonna go for assissts with Rocket Racoon
he seems the most fun to me
yoooo
groot teamup
i am now a turret
lets go
ok i'm actually
really liking rocket?
dense remnant
Was it me or is Rocket's gun a little weak?
teal mist
it's got a lot of falloff now, but up close it can eat folks
Also being on Groot's shoulder leaves you in handy tank-headshot range
fervent pulsar
yup
teal mist
spread makes hitting Mantis and Luna... not ideal
runic apex
also it makes it really easy to heal groot so much that he becomres even more tanky

Was it me or is Rocket's gun a little weak?

yeah at times i was just psamming the healing orb
what counts as an assisst in this game
dense remnant
I appreciate that heals & buffs count in as assists in this game
runic apex
manti's buff makes geting assist easy
i had am atch where starlord and my highlight were basicly the same highlight
fervent pulsar
maybe i should try playing her for the assisst
runic apex
she gets assist points for when ever ally damages someone while under the damage buff
fervent pulsar
noooo not the Iron Fist flank ๐ญ
ok got the assissts
going to go for shields now
Strange is kinda cool ngl
fervent pulsar
yeaaaaah
that mission looks like it fucking sucks
definitely doing that one against bots
runic apex
i think tis worse than the sotrm/cap one
fervent pulsar
it easily is
runic apex
cause the armor thing isnt very strong
teal mist
The armor thing seems more for survivability than killing
dense remnant
Anything can kill if youre not a coward
fervent pulsar
the map specific challenges are kind of annoying also ngl
runic apex
ok i think spriqwlq girl needs aoe buffs
the hitbox on her projectiles are microscopic
also yeah if still sucks to fight against
also her ult is trash teir
raven summit
It's funny, but I had a few games where the healers have the most kills. Everyone can do decent damage.
fervent pulsar

Captain America is such a psychotic character to play I think there has never been a more divey dive tank

just launching myself at anything that fucking moves as Iron Fist feels fucking psychotic as well
potent adder
I, Captain America, promise I will never stop going in

average Iron Fist encounter

just launching myself at anything that fucking moves as Iron Fist feels fucking ...
The storm vs Iron Fist matchup is imo one of the most unbelievably sick matchups I've ever seen
potent adder
A good iron Fist using his movement to keep up with storms flight is legendary
And iron man yeah
I like iron Fist but I might be bias
fervent pulsar
he's my main
potent adder
One of mine too
fervent pulsar
i would play Wolverine over him but he's kinda dinky damage wise
and, in an absolutely criminal act of game design, has no self heal
potent adder
Are we playing the same wolverine
I mean yeah maybe he should have a self heal button but the rage making his heeling kick in when he hits 0 hp is pretty sick
runic apex
did good with squirrel girl that time
fervent pulsar
I mean yeah maybe he should have a self heal button but the rage making his heel...
it's just not enough when i'm fighting groups or trying to re-engage in fights after forcing a 1v1
runic apex
he hasl low hp, and not a way to sacpe
fervent pulsar
sometimes i can keep the sustain on battles but like
if i do a 1v1 and expend everything i'm going to have to go look for a healing item or a healer on my team
raven summit
I've yet yo master the aerial maneuverability with Iron Fist.
runic apex
psylock is hard to play
runic apex
yeah i think for healers mantis is the one i like the most
can buff attack and heal
and has a useful weapo
rewards accucy
ok blank panther is actully good
you just need ot be a god with him apprently
hexed niche
EASY GAME FOR BABIES
runic apex
yeah iron fist is entirely broken
fervent pulsar
THAT'S MY GOAT, IMMORTAL TIME
main parcel
Is it just me, or are the delivery points on the payload kind of "nothing"? Like on Tokyo you go around a wall and up a ramp to a hallway, and that's it, you don't even go down the hallway. I straight-up lost a round because I backed up off a random patch of dirt on Klyntar, only to discover that that random patch of dirt was the end of the map, for some reason.
I think the Ygggard (or whatever) one might be okay, you're clearly at the base of Yggdrasil.
runic apex
i think the games in general are meant for smaller match times
raven summit
I feel they are gonna figure out the melee characters.
Like I think they're almost there. Magik is already there.
Iron Fist needs to be tweaked a bit.
runic apex
i think magik needs a bit more honestly
lapis aspen
They're really small maps but it means you can play a lot of games which is fun. Lets you figure out what works and what doesnt more easily
runic apex
hp could use a little boost
raven summit
I feel the melee characters need more defense honestly.
A lot of them do have ways of getting bonus health.
Spidey just gets in and gets out.
He has some of the best mobility in the game.
What is the little imp guy for with Magik?
I feel there could be a better option there, unless he has some tech I'm missing.
raven summit
I guess it's good for getting shield when running away.
dense remnant
https://fixvx.com/UltimaShadowX/status/1865326774634078340
TIL Punisher is Anre from Granblue
raven summit
Idea, Logan can convert rage into healing.
Or rage increases damage mitigation.
Or generates bonus health.
raven summit
We need a mage that feels like an actual mage.
runic apex
ok hawekyese charge mechnics sucks
like i don'
i don't think the person who made it ever used him
its hyper awkard
fervent pulsar
ugh
the map limited stuff is seriously annoying me
if anyone wants to do the spider challenge thing with venom, spiderman and peni i'm down rn
fervent pulsar
๐
runic apex
i can go venom first
fervent pulsar
thanks
i'll try to get the kills quick
also it took me an embarrasingly long time to realize there is a melee button
need one more kill
then we can swap
that one more kill is turning out to be so hard to get
runic apex
eh its giving me tim eto learn venom
runic apex
still need one more?
raven summit
I feel Psylocke needs a double jump.
fervent pulsar
one more
raven summit
I feel a few characters just need a double jump.
Also, let the team use Punisher's zipline!
fervent pulsar
i have no fucking idea
runic apex
also i got the thrid
fervent pulsar
it's not a super useful move the cooldown should not be that long
runic apex
you setup the last one for me
fervent pulsar
peak
runic apex
also the ammont of shields you get as venom is incane if your almost dead
its just like
your 900 hp now
runic apex
you can also do the dive out of any just high fall
fervent pulsar
but he's actually kinda fucking fun
runic apex
doesnt need to be swinging
fervent pulsar
maybe he's the tank i've been looking for
hexed niche
What do these symbols mean?
runic apex
i mean as in where do you see
hexed niche
where are they?
Oh sorry, on the right hand side of my screen
runic apex
ill do one more
fervent pulsar
๐
runic apex
maybe praice s few more im really bad at
runic apex
i think peni is pretty good i just learned when she laches on to her webs she heals apprently
runic apex
i got beat up badly against a black panther
hexed hearth
the map limited stuff is seriously annoying me
it really is messed up that modern f2p design makes me yearn for overwatch's loot box system
runic apex
panther is genji
panther is genji
thats why he is so hard to play
ok ima leave after thato ne i want to test something
fervent pulsar
yep yep
runic apex
so how panther works is when he uses the dash on someone with a mark
he gets health back and it refreshing the dash
sour forge
for all the takes ive seen comparing psylocke to genji the only similarity is really the dash
the wallclimb and doublejump is unironically more core to the character because that's how you actually get angles
the invis is nice but it definitely feels like more of a getaway tool
sand kelp
in my handful of actual matches, psylocke's ult has proven to be the bane of my existence
sour forge
people are really bad about playing around everything which is fine
it does also two tap squishies which seems like it might be a little nuch
it's hard to say, I think scarlet witch has gotten a 2 or 3k off every single ult I've seen her throw in my game
which definitely isn't translating anytime soon
sour forge
yeah the dash actually resetting is crucial
because you're in then you're out
and if you fuck up you explode but we don't talk about that part
idk psylocke just shoots people in the head and kills them
genji you gotta be a little more tactful because it's anmoying as shit to hit shurikens against people with good movement
runic apex
rn im testing quick melee
to see if there is antyhing intresting
for magik and groot you actully gain dps for using quick melee inbeween attacks
sour forge
loki might actually need to melee people to kill them
the character does no damage with m1 but backstabs are pretty decent dps
runic apex
why does widow have one of the highest daming quick attacks
i think she actully has the best quick attack
so far
if only counting damage
but i think it does have less range
runic apex
i was curious if quick melee had any possible uses
did some really basic testing and did find a few thigns
dense remnant
I've seen Cap described as a cross between Doomfist & Reinhardt, which is. Huh.
runic apex
magik,groot,and namor are the only ones that i felt do outright benefit
from just quickmeleing inbtween strikes
teal mist
I thought Venom could get a dps boost but they may have adjusted it
runic apex
its hard for me to tell honestly
i can't tell if the melee overlaps with the primary or not on him
its very close
hexed hearth
finally got MVP as healer
sour forge
somehow i think this isn't gonna be a common achievement ever
dense remnant
Unsure how common this one will be, either
runic apex
i almost got that i think
runic apex
somehow i think this isn't gonna be a common achievement ever
i actully did win the game once by stealing the cart for the rest of the way after jeff was removing the rest of the enemy team
sour forge
yeah that seems like the correct use of that super lol
runic apex
if you cant throw them off a ledge yeha just hold them
or throw them into another ult
hexed hearth
i was mixed on Jeff at first, but "Mercy with an amazing escape tool, better self-healing, and literally no range limit to the healing stream" is pretty fun
also a very fun ult
runic apex
it can also get allies
ill problaly try comp at some point but i want to find more heros im really good at
so far my bests are starlord,winter,and mantis
im good with psylock but she isnt very consistant
raven summit
Man... I really want to get good at Psylocke.
green junco
Picking your fights or sneaking around the backlines work for me
Also Genji dashing is good too if you need to finish the fight
raven summit
Scarlet Witch is my bane.
green junco
I love my witch
runic apex
hawkeye and squrirle girl fele like thye have reverse
hanzo problem
peorjectiles being too small
runic apex
the trigger raidus for the explsopn and her squirrle tossis really small
you have to basicly hit them directly
also the explosive spread is too high
raven summit
My aim is really bad.
dense remnant
Popped my Punisher ultimate at the same time an Iron Man player did, we were both in midair and went all out on each other lol
sour forge
I think Squirrel Girl's projectiles are so small it's genuinely kind of a visibility problem as well because you'll just walk into an area and get annihilated by unseeable rocks
runic apex
i will say dagger being able to chaange and insantly go invisable and invicable is kinda annoying
maiden radish
Has anyone else been having latency issues?
runic apex
also funfact squirrelgirl has the worst melee
she actully does benefit from melee while attacking though
dense remnant
She is doing her best
raven summit
I don't like fighting scarlet witch because panther Moira beam.
Also just her being able to turn kinda invisible and invincible and fly away.
runic apex
you can watch where she goes
green junco
She turns into a orb
raven summit
I know.
green junco
I just follow her and then blow her up
raven summit
My aim needs improvement.
dense remnant
She doesnt seem hard to fight, at least with my characters
raven summit
But I do find her the most annoying to fight against.
dense remnant
I wish my own aim was better with Winter Soldier
raven summit
I play a lot of dashy characters and sometimes her beam stays on me before I can get the kill.
runic apex
is it just me or does cap players love to just run up and try to 1v6
sour forge
it's the reinhardt brain
silver helm
rein brain see charge button
neuron activation
runic apex
so far i feel like if i do play comp its just gonna be mantis and winter so far
they are the only ones id feel confomrtable playing in comp
sour forge
the core of the reinhardt player brain is the "i just wanna grill for gods sake" meme
runic apex
ok thats really dumb iorn justi s just like triple jump heal ot full
he just can tripe jump out of my mele range and full heal
sour forge
yeah his ult is something out of dota
it's kind of insane
they had to know what they were cooking with it right
hexed hearth
i feel like this is going to be a Fox/Falco/Captain Falcon in Smash type situation
sour forge
like they had to realize letting him succ the entire team and then suicide off the nearest platform was gonna be optimal
hexed hearth
where everyone will just know jeff as "that one guy from that crossover game" instead of the source material
sour forge
yeah he's from the 21 jump street cinematic univers
hexed hearth
like they had to realize letting him succ the entire team and then suicide off t...
nah unless they have a flier, you can just spit them out, you don't need to suicide
sour forge
there's a couple double jumpers in a lot of team comps I run into, because people are sick movement addicts
hexed hearth
or if there's just a small infinite void opening like the Hydra map
sour forge
<-- the terminal movement option enjoyer
I guess like
the equivalent of this would maybe be a dva bomb which is pretty fair
maybe it"s just not me seeing a telegraph, it could well be a krill issue because nobody knows the tells for any AoE
soft pollen
I didn't realize Jeff could ult teammates until I got team killed by one.
sour forge
ope lmao
sour forge
yeah he seems pretty solid
right click having an aoe is pretty yuge i think
makes him way more forgiving once you just go for splashing people's feet since the actual damage isn't the thing you care about
you just want the dash reset
dense remnant
You know, I expected Psylocke to basically be Genji
sour forge
yeah you'd think
weeb character who is gonna have the most noxious fanbase this side of the salton sea
but then you play her and she's just the most basic shotgun character ever
runic apex
sour forge
GUNSHOT BRIIIIDE
sand oracle
maybe it"s just not me seeing a telegraph, it could well be a krill issue becaus...
yeah I mean ngl there's a lot of ults that do a super similar thing
his is probably the best, but scarlet witch, thor, storm, all kinda achieve the goal in the end if they go off
jeff's is just... really easy to pull off
sour forge
they don't make you wait seven seconds then put you in the spawn screen is the thing
sand oracle
oh yeah for sure it's the best one
sour forge
free cap progress and stagger and the 5k is pretty nuts
sand oracle
just yknow. it's still just a long cooldown kill everyone button
it has a lot going for it though
dense remnant
It's funny to see pre-release reddit posts talking about Punisher being OP when like, yeah I can melt bars with a good enough team but let's see you casually 1v1 an Iron Fist
It's not even like he's over or underpowered IMO. For one, he has a fairly hefty hitbox
runic apex
there is also an audio cue
so if you hear it you know to spread out
i know she is a squrril girl but it is funny watcher her eat acorns like tiktacs

Lame, Sue should be a tank.
runic apex
teal mist
Agreed! Not enough durable gals around. And how's bubblemagic supposed to heal anyhow
runic apex
maybe she just makes the wounds invisable
hexed hearth
I think the main thing is that tanks with small models feel weird
runic apex
it would also not be great to fight against
hexed hearth
yeah
runic apex
size of a charcter is legit a balacing dision
teal mist
It's why we have Strangely Enormous Dr. Strange
runic apex
i feel like if you did have a small tank it would be more ablity based like they don't actully tank but they summon stuff that does it
hexed hearth
I think Big Dr Strange works, but I can't see how Big Sue Storm would work
teal mist
Give Sue a mecha made out of Invisible
hexed hearth
also I appreciate how "the invisible woman" has kind of faded as a moniker
runic apex
its kinda wordy
hexed hearth
forcefields are like 90% of her practicality
runic apex
is it wierd i kinda want venture bros crossover skins
hexed hearth
I imagine Reed would be a dedicated healer and Sue would be a healer/dps
sand oracle
I assume the bubbles give shields / bonus health
runic apex
reed is probally more of ranged melee
sand oracle
rather than her actually healing
hexed hearth
the thing is that beating people up has never remotely been Reed's focus
running around with half a dozen wacky healing gizmos like Rocket would make more sense than just punching people
the game has a pretty high density of characters with invisibility, doesn't it
hexed hearth
Loki, Cloak, Psylocke, Scarlet Witch, soon to be Sue
teal mist
Cloak and Scarlet don't turn invisible!
You can totally see that business you just can't attack it
hexed hearth
oh yeah
sand oracle
cloak's kit is kind of the only one I'm like, proper disappointed with
he does not feel like cloak at all
runic apex
cloak does turn invisable
teal mist
Had to like actually go and research wtf Scarlet actually did when she kept vanishing
I thought cloak had like intangibility field but you can still see the big shadowy blob
runic apex
cloak just doesnt on the player side
teal mist
Ahhh
teal mist
cloak's kit is kind of the only one I'm like, proper disappointed with
What were you hoping for? :o In the comics I mostly know him as 'man that teleports a room full of people to a different room'
runic apex
i feel like rockets needs an extra ablity
hes got a booster rocket and a wierd deployable
and heal shots
he kinda boring
sand oracle
What were you hoping for? :o In the comics I mostly know him as 'man that telepo...
a teleport :p
hexed hearth
I think they did a good job making Rocket do everything Rocket does
teal mist
But I think a lot of his kit is tuned around BRB machine being so damn good
sand oracle
all of his teleports do not feel as cool as cloak should
hexed hearth
he's super nimble, has a big gun, and has a ton of wacky useful gadgets
I guess explosives are one thing from the Rocket brand that's missing, but overall he plays just how I'd expect
fervent pulsar
having him play Peni and just lock shit down is so nice
cause it frees me up as Iron Fist to just go fucking destroy their squishies and stragglers
teal mist
Peni seems like one of the best counters to the Heavy Dive Team
but then also one person paying attention can nullify half of your trap setups
Spent a good part of a game as Magneto just making sure Peni and Loki and Rocket couldn't summon or set up
runic apex
fun fact two of the voice actors both are known for voicing tails
scarlet/manti's actors
scralet is pre sonic boom mainly, and mantis is post sonic boom
fervent pulsar
I really wanna get Iron Fists skin
runic apex
well comp is out
runic apex
ima do at least a round with winter
i would like my heros im comfortable with for comp but its just winter
fervent pulsar
mhm
i'm sending it on Iron Fist if anything
but i want to play with my Friend
cause we make a good duo
dry roost
Fantastic 4 are coming?
runic apex
ok i have just realized a tech for winter that makes him a lot stronger
fervent pulsar
love popping my ult and getting completely negated by Jeff
teal mist
Yeah I wouldn't mind some adjustment on Jeff's ult there
teal mist
that too
they buffed him so much since beta
Seeing people go from 8 hp to 275 in a microsecond is infuriating
fervent pulsar
literally healed groot so much while i was full focusing him with my ult as Iron Fist, his health was going UP
love popping off as Iron Fist
just fucking ripping through the enemy team
mobility unmatched
unique storm
I've seen a lot of people feeling the healing is overtuned.
runic apex
potent adder
I figured out btw that part of what made spider man and venom feel shitty is that if you go into their settings they have an automatic targeting thing for their web swinging. If you turn it off you start swinging from where you aim your crosshair and it feels a million times better
I'm a spiders main now
runic apex
it felt better for me for spiderman but not venom
severe zephyr
I figured out btw that part of what made spider man and venom feel shitty is tha...
Oh good to know
The swinging felt fucking awful
potent adder
it felt better for me for spiderman but not venom
Turning off auto swing makes venom feel godly
potent adder
The swinging felt fucking awful
Yeah now that it's turned off they actually fucking NAILED the webswinging
Genuinely everyone turn off auto swing/easy swing
teal mist
I've seen a lot of people feeling the healing is overtuned.
I also find Mantis/Luna ults kind of.. uninspired/gameplay reducing? 'For the next 10 seconds, combat is basically null and void unless you can somehow oneshot'
not Jeff Ending The Game on Convoy just not exactly.. idk
runic apex
yeah thats kinda what they do
they are bascily just tranqulity
i think luna's is weaker
teal mist
It's not a fun gameplay space, especially if they have both lol
teal mist
Need some anti-healing on something other than Strange
runic apex
his anti healing does it effect anyone besides himself?
fervent pulsar
got my ult negated by jeff again
teal mist
'You've done too much damage for a tank, how dare you'
does charge up his E damage i believe
but why punish
fervent pulsar
love using my ult and getting to do nothing with it
sour forge
you only get punished for sitting on it
at least that's what the description would suggest
teal mist
getting stunned out of Thor's ult makes me want to flip a table
why is Spidey immune to CC but not The God Of Thunder
maiden radish
Yeah, it is even worse cause Jeff has such a small hurtbox when he gobbles people
It feels like you should be able to punch him if he misses you but instead he has a small hurtbox and armor
maiden radish
I think there's definitely a few characters who are kinda :/ design wise. Both on the end of this is too strong and this is too weak
Like I get it, Wanda has a long cast time but Jesus it does what 1k damage?
teal mist
I also feel like Ult Charge across the board could maybe be adjusted
A lot of games just feel like a Series of People Yelling
runic apex
maybe not across the board
teal mist
Yeah it's probably just a few standouts but all together it can feel overwhelming
maiden radish
I'm still enjoying the game but I feel the honeymoon period was short. I'm just sick of healers being able to instantly heal themselves to full
runic apex
wanda's is just a worse dva ult
maiden radish
Like Mantis is the only one who can't
runic apex
mantis is the zen of the game
teal mist
Rocket's self heal is pretty slow but he can just sort of fly away
potent adder
Doctor strange gets almost a full ult charge by killing his own team with a portal
fervent pulsar
Jeff is the big problem yeah
teal mist
Luna Snow's powerset makes me not like Luna Snow on a conceptual level
why does any of this do what it does
fervent pulsar
kinda sick of pulling insane moves nad just
runic apex
iron fist can also just heal to full in an instant too in the most annoying way
fervent pulsar
getting to do nothing cause Jeff is there
potent adder
why does any of this do what it does
She turns music into ice
teal mist
She turns music into ice
why does this make people immortal
potent adder
Yes
teal mist
i've been hit with an icicle before pretty sure my hp went down
runic apex
her brazilian friend taught her
potent adder
So like she makes two kinds of magic ice
teal mist
( i will say these are mostly small gripes and I'm enjoying the game )
fervent pulsar
yeah i'm still having a lot of fun
crushing people as Iron Fist
starting to get better with him
maiden radish
Winter soldier is so so so fun
fervent pulsar
understanding his defense ability more instead of just using it as a damage boost
maiden radish
I love hooks, I love instant reloading a high damage revolver, and I love recharging ults
teal mist
I will say though, any time I get that 'goddamn this game has a lot of healing' I switch to Hela and she can usually sort things out
runic apex
suety did you see what i did to strange earlier?
green junco
If you are fighting a witch as Jeff, if you eat her during her ult, she wastes all charge and doesn't explode
maiden radish
suety did you see what i did to strange earlier?
What?
runic apex
scroll up a bit i posted a video
fervent pulsar
i'm Iron Fisting all over the place rn
i kinda like Jeff, Venom and Wolverine too
runic apex
its stuch a dirty and great way to take down tanks hook then push away from their retreat location
teal mist
I can't hit Venom's autoattacks worth a damn
maiden radish
It's so deceptive on its range
teal mist
I'm just real bad at tracking
maiden radish
I like playing penni though
teal mist
Gimme one single big hit, it is the way
maiden radish
Oh same lol
teal mist
nobody should ever look at my Rocket Raccoon accuracy stat
maiden radish
I'm on console and the controls could use a bit of improvement when it comes to auming
teal mist
i've heard that
maiden radish
teal mist
Probably trying to avoid the whole 'everyone switches to controller for Aim Assist Cheese' but some characters feel impossible consolewise
maiden radish
Melee characters feel like this gif
You kinda just shuffle around a guy and miss half your swings
teal mist
Iron Fist has like a lock-on melee but no one else in the game does for some reason
maiden radish
I KNEW IT
runic apex
i don't think he should have it honestly
teal mist
They really kitted him the hell out
maiden radish
Ok good I thought every iron fist was just a god
runic apex
hes really busted in general
maiden radish
But he really does stick to you
It turns out being able to hit all your swings makes you a great dps
teal mist
At first I was like 'the CD on his kick seems high how do you stay on folk- oh'
runic apex
id be fine with charceters having maybe a little autoaim not YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE NO MATTER WHAT
teal mist
just distribute Fists's among the populace
runic apex
i don't think you can escape without a super jump or something that makes you inciable
maiden radish
It's just like melee characters still need to have your crosshair on them
runic apex
not to mntion iron fist has several ways to get healtyh back
maiden radish
And that makes them really weird
runic apex
blocking? gives you health assist/kills? gives you health heal ablity? gives you health
iron fist can max out at double hp at 500
maiden radish
Ew
teal mist
The block should definitely not give him enhanced autoattacks without parrying anything
It should be a reward for using the actual function lmao
runic apex
the only thing that does not give him hp is normal attacks and the spin kick
maiden radish
Wait so the block heals AND gives him enhanced melee
runic apex
yes
maiden radish
Ugh
runic apex
i had this happen to me it made me so mad
maiden radish
Black Panther is so bad ๐
runic apex
hes not actully
maiden radish
Really?
runic apex
hes secretly genji
so the marks you put on enemies when you use your dash attack on an enemy that has it it resets the dash
teal mist
Black Panther is very feast or famine
maiden radish
Like I know he has movement but I still feel like he struggles to do damage
teal mist
if you don't get the reset you kind of die
maiden radish
Oh that's what the marks for?
runic apex
so you use your spear to put marks on enemies then you dash into them it resets and then you either kick or spear to put another one on, and dash again into an enemy or you dash into an eney that has one or dash to escape
maiden radish
Oh that's cool, I should try him again now that I know what he actually does
maiden radish
Good point
runic apex
i thoght panther was bad until fighing against a good oen
severe zephyr
runic apex
winter is still my best by far though
maiden radish
I really didn't expect to like Winter soldier
But damn
Anyways do we know if we're getting more team-ups?
Some characters have multiple and others kinda don't do anything
teal mist
One of my favorite parts of Thor is how many teamups he offers
Doesn't get a lot in return but it's nice
maiden radish
Yeah, I like playing him because of that too
I just like using the team ups
Some characters get a huge power boost from them, like Psylocke and Black Panther are improved so much by the Magik team up
fervent pulsar
https://fixupx.com/sennaverse/status/1865537857323946000?s=46&t=RjdIzh2qFuWkjovz...
it's fair and valid
fervent pulsar
Some characters get a huge power boost from them, like Psylocke and Black Panthe...
my GOAT Iron Fist getting literally nothing from his only team up with Luna Snow
๐
maiden radish
Wait does he really get nothing?
fervent pulsar
as far as i can tell
all it does is boost Luna Snow with chi power
it mentions nothing about Iron Fist getting anything from their team up
my GOAT is hard carrying the team up
doing all of the work solo
maiden radish
Oh that's rad
hexed hearth
doing all of the work solo
every team up in the game is only one-way iirc
fervent pulsar
yeah
runic apex
i think there at least one that isnt
fervent pulsar
Trade offer!

Hulk and Wolverine having the Fastball Special is all i could ask for though tbh

Guardian Revival is kind of insane though
errant folio
Just played a half dozen games as someone that hasn't paid any attention to the marketing, saw Punisher's face on the character select and immediately said, out loud "Why is Gideon Nav in this game?"
teal mist
Revival is so much stronger on Starlord than on Adam lmao
fervent pulsar
Adam Warlock just giving Mantis and Starlord free revives is kinda insane
like at least with say
Hela
and the Ragnarok Rebirth teamup
she has to fucking cook for that to be useful
Adam Warlock is just like "free revive :D"
dense remnant
The teamup buff system is really cool, helps the game stand out

I'm really enjoying Moon Knight's gameplay of "Place Ankh, shoot ankh, deal AoE"

Like I said, they came out the gate with a peak skin line.

she gets back charges by geting headshots

And has unexciting gameplay, like Zen /sagely nodding

then i found my true calling as a tank main
looking forward to getting the Empress of the Cosmos skin when i get enough of the season pass moneys

You still take guns off the line for a second

also a lot of people arent gonna ntoice that much in combat

Oh right, ranked is out now
runic apex
i do know that crosplay exists for quick
hexed hearth
someone at asgard seriously needs to hire some botomless pit supervisors
it feels so sad whenever i land a good jeff ult on that map and it just does nothing
runic apex
if you can talk fast maybe ask someone else to ult
so you can spit them out into it
you could also sacrifice yourself in adiffrent way
just run as far as you can away from the obejctive
dull wigeon
oh god I don't remember how to play overwatch
runic apex
honestly other than basic skills
i don't think stuff transfers that much
chqarcters are two diffrent
its also third person
dull wigeon
but like in terms of basic game theory I'm drawing an utter blank
do you get dropped in bot matches to start?
dull wigeon
but if I'm just in normal quick match that's not bots?
dull wigeon
....maybe I'm just at wood elo
runic apex
that is players vs bots
runic apex
plugging?
dense remnant
Disconnecting
runic apex
ive only had time do to one com match before i had to go play monhunt
dull wigeon
also holy shit the punisher does a lot of damage
dense remnant
He is a simple man. He sees targets, he shoots.
sour forge
jeff in fairness has the hitbox specifically calibrated to be perfectly meatshottable from any angle
hexed hearth
also holy shit the punisher does a lot of damage
but he makes up for his amazing DPS by also having a lot of health
sour forge
platonic sphere of oneshottability
hexed hearth
and being one of the only hitscan characters in the game
dull wigeon
"you know what word I don't like nuance" okay frank calm down
runic apex
i will say one of the funniest things to do as winter is to execute people from a hook attack
hexed hearth
platonic sphere of oneshottability
nah his passive is that he takes normal damage from headshots
dense remnant
"you know what word I don't like nuance" okay frank calm down
Look, Frank's been through a lot
sour forge
yeah but other characters are a little narrower sometimes
hexed hearth
i will say the melee damage in the game overall feels really weird
like black widow has the best long-range gun in the game, and she can swap it to melee batons
that seemingly do the same DPS, if not a bit less
hexed hearth
and she also has the power of Gun
runic apex
loki is the only other charcter who's quick melee can kill in 6 hits
the bots
but that requires backstabs
hexed hearth
why would you ever switch to a melee weapon when you have something that has the same damage but still hits them when they're farther
runic apex
yeah most quick melee is worthless
hexed hearth
meanwhile Hulk is unable to damage enemies that aren't an inch away from him, and even then barely does damage
runic apex
its basicly groot,squirrl, and namor that benefit from it
and maybe venom
as attacking inbetween hits is more dps
dull wigeon
this does have the overwatch issue where team comps are usually whether you'll win or lose
runic apex
i think its too early for most to care
except maybe black widow
the only time ive seen black widow do just ok
is with someone using an aimbot
hexed hearth
i think it's too early to assume someone already cracked the anticheat instead of just aiming well
runic apex
i think hela,thor,and loki have a really good teamup
i uaslty ouwld agree but every kill i saw of there was a headshot
hexed hearth
having a pretty good match really isn't that bizarre
runic apex
7-8+ headshots in a row is suspicious to me even more so when it was all flicks into headshot
dull wigeon
I'm not surprised someone has an aimbot already
runic apex
none of them had them already near the head
hexed hearth
huh. how much time did you spend spectating them?
runic apex
every time they killed me
the one i ran into felt more like a silent aim one
it only triggers on attack
dull wigeon
god help you netease
hexed hearth
oohh i forgot there were all the months of early access for hackers to break it
dull wigeon
that one's a lost cause
"how well do I think Marvel Rivals Magneto represents the actual character of magneto idk you want to read my dissertation?"
runic apex
people wanted the pruple
hexed hearth
i really do think they did about as good a job as they could have staying accurate to the characters without sacrificing gameplay
runic apex
i do think peni parker's voice is kinda bad though
hexed hearth
i will always firmly be of the mindset that adaptations should prioritize being good over being faithful
runic apex
it legit sounds like at times the voice lines were recoreded in a phonebooth
hexed hearth
well that is sort of the point
to make it instantly clear it's coming from a speaker
although i will admit that Magneto is far and away the character who has the least to do with his source material
well
dull wigeon
so how does monetization work?
dull wigeon
although i will admit that Magneto is far and away the character who has the lea...
I think that's pretty in character for his source material ngl
hexed hearth
early in Claremont's run Magneto would just make forcefields using "magnetic power", so they could be going off of that
dull wigeon
"what is magneto's character uhhh wanna read my thesis?"
runic apex
they should give reed a fake gun that stuns people
but stuns magneto for twice as long
sand kelp
so how does monetization work?
pretty favorably considering its peers. ingame currency is earned as a dripfeed, skins are the only thing you actually buy and they're priced pretty reasonably. the battle passes are short, but don't expire and are five bucks a pop
getting the full roster out the gate doesn't hurt either :P
hexed hearth
also worth noting that the battlepass gives you $3 of ingame currency
dull wigeon
oh ok so it's the fortnite model where battlepasses are cheap and chaining them is possible
hexed hearth
so if you plan on playing enough to complete it and future battlepasses, it's kinda sort of $2 per pass
dull wigeon
that's......actually far better than I expected
runic apex
netease also runs once human
dull wigeon
also I'm enjoying a lot of the characters even though there's several that I just do not have the mental throughput for
runic apex
theres probally someone here that can help with some of them
hexed hearth
though there is the psychological trap of "i have $3 of premium currency, but nothing costs $3...i guess i have to give more money to this game when i otherwise wouldn't have"
dull wigeon
how do you play peni offensively
runic apex
throw mines forward
dull wigeon
also does punisher have damage dropoff?
runic apex
and use the deploable as like an anchor
dull wigeon
his gun does quite a bit even at range
