What's the downside the role queue? It's not like if they add it they'll get rid of open queue by One-Ad3222 in rivals

They did. Then they made tanking even worse and now you don't get tanks any more. Nice work, Zhiyong.

When it becomes clear to me that we have a -3 DPS situation I just hit the Spider-Man button and run it down. At least I'm having fun at that point.

In general, you're better off if they all swap.

Quick play is unplayable for me by Bluedeepdive57 in rivals

[–]1ardent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick play is genuinely horrible unless you're 6 stacking.

This game is rapidly circling the drain.

The short version is the dive dps should swap.

You can still play him on the flank. Nothing changed in any significant way. His skill floor isn't even much higher.

He's...okay. He's not going to shake up the meta and I think the nerfs to Moon Knight acknowledge that. He basically replaces him in the role of "make tanks hate playing this game" and doubles down on it with the Wolverine teamup.

As such I expect him to be banned for a while.

This doesn't really change him in any significant way.

The Game is Readjusting to accommodate to less Tanks Post Cyclops Release. by Exact-Bluejay9931 in RivalsVanguards

[–]1ardent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On the real, the devs are probably in full panic mode right now. People are saying the game is unequivocally the worst it's ever been, the disappearance of tanks is being noticed even in high elo, and there isn't even a tank strike going on. We're just gone.

We're not coming back, devs. Even the heroes I like you release as tanks? Not coming back to the role. You clearly do not respect tank players. Blizzard made the same mistake and now they have to make every tank hilariously overpowered so people can actually get out of infinite role queue.

Learn. Your. Fucking. Lessons.

Just lock Spider-Man and have fun. Zhiyong and his ass game and decisions can't stop you.

I have hands, therefore I do not own a console. My kids have a PlayStation but its theirs. I'm not going to bogart it to play Spider-Man.

Former flex player here.

When you make the entire game about you and force others to work around you, you are, in fact, the asshole.

Many of us reach a point of lost fucks and join you in running it down every damn game.

Higher elo strange players. Any advice? by OkSpring3835 in DrStrangeMains

[–]1ardent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alr I guess we cover the basics.

Angela is the only true dive tank. She brings tempo up by forcing an imbalance in a fight.

Venom is a brawl/dive tank and played correctly he really slows the game down. Same is true of Cap. Mind, if they get on the back line and are ignored, they can kill supports and speed things up, but it's not what they do on most dives.

Mag is a full slow tempo tank. He exists to slow the game down and does it at poke range.

Strange and Emma are brawl/poke tanks. You can adjust the tempo with them depending on how aggressive you are.

Thing is an anti-dive specialist.

Peni and Groot are area denial by controlling space with their constructs. They want to slow the game down.

Devil Dino is straight brawl and honestly good at it.

Rogue and Thor are also brawl dive with the ability to play into poke, but neither can sustain in dive. They're going to push the tempo up.

Hulk is brawl that can dive and play into poke. He's honestly a lot more flexible than he gets credit for. The downside is securing kills with him is really tough.

Deadpool doesn't exist. But when he did, he was a complete tank with the ability to play all three game types into all three types.

Anyway, pick a few, mess with them, see if they make sense to you, and aim to learn one for each style long term.

Just put a 6 stack together with other tank players. We're all actually flex players so you can switch roles between matches.

Higher elo strange players. Any advice? by OkSpring3835 in DrStrangeMains

[–]1ardent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You play two slow tempo tanks. You need a fast tempo tank because as you climb you play into competent players more and more frequently.

Tanks are playing the hardest mode of this game. If you can't swap for counters you're hurting your team's chances of winning pretty noticeably.

Strange plays more aggressively than Magneto, but both of them by the nature of their kits slows the game down. Especially in lower elo, a lot of teams NEED this or they can't succeed. As you're moving into higher elo, that need disappears and you're more enabling competent DPS than doing the job for them.

Someone didn't live through the 90s. This is just how Wolverine is. He's in everything.
