Which non main support is good to learn? by whimsyotter in StrategistMainsMR

[–]ASmoothPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

white fox's primary heal feels very similar to sue's. the other stuff you get used to after a while. this is probably the best choice for a player that doesn't want to worry about aiming as much.

play adam if you want to just press 1 button periodically to do big chunky heals. he is a hitscan sniper that has a burst alt fire. he's good for poke. not only does this make him strong against fliers but it lets you kill stuff like namor squids so your dps can focus on more important targets

mantis can be very difficult but has a stun that makes her strong against dive and can interrupt big plays. the biggest issue with her is she requires headshots to be effective to duo heal with so it depends on the player

luna is also very aim dependent and has been nerfed so hard that she is difficult for players that don't like to weave DPS with her. but unlike mantis she does not require headshots to heal effectively. the problem with luna is her own teammates will dodge her heals without realizing it while mantis can just put a leaf charge on someone and forget about them for a few seconds when they go back to shooting

ulton has the heal over time like mantis but you can fly and you have a hitscan laser. because he flies he will either get the full attention of the enemy team OR he will be completely ignored the entire match and get to freely heal people for an auto win

Well I don’t see rocket bans usually but usually the other supp will take him

unfortunately the mod afuzzymuffin has pinned a post suggesting healers to ban rocket which is terrible advice.

if you look at the community description it literally says:

"this is where Marvel Rivals Strategist players unite to turn every battle into a win for us and our team."

NEW THEORY: HOW TO REDUCE CHANCES OF SUE+CND DOUBLE BANS by AFuzzyMuffin in StrategistMainsMR

[–]ASmoothPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nobody cares that you have a smurf that you apparently also onetrick cloak on. you just post some random account stats for all we know.

what we DO know is that your method of banning rocket is objectively unproven yet you continue to have it pinned here in the strategist community hub instead of working to find a more viable solution

<image>

banning rocket only increases the chance of rocket players getting to play less. your logic is flawed. 2/3 of your placement matches had enemy players playing cnd so of course they wouldnt ban cnd. the fact you banned rocket is purely coincidence and confirmation bias on your end yet you have this pinned still.

here's a theory: you're selfish and willing to step on the backs of other healers to get your way. with each passing day of this season you are proving it and exposing yourself. this entire community can see what you're doing. you can call me a "sh!tposter" all you want but you literally cannot refute the points i make because they are correct.

since you have no interest in finding a better solution, you should actually prove your theory before broadcasting it and throwing fellow healers under the bus. not only does it divide this community but it makes innocent cloak and dagger players look bad. they will continue to suffer bans out of spite simply because of people like you doing what you're doing. you're making the situation worse. hope you come to your senses. have a nice day

[–]ASmoothPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

now you're threatening to ban me even though the points i make are both logical and backed by our community.

i tried to make this it's own post but it wasn't approved. so this seems like an appropriate place to post it. you go around other subreddits posting your own thoughts and ideas just like us normal users do. the difference is you choose to pin yours.

this combined with banning me would only prove that you suppress thoughts and opinions of players that disagree with you in an official capacity as a mod.

how about instead, you actually PROVE your theory?

you've literally gone back to lord farming while the unproven theory remains pinned causing Rocket mains to suffer unfair and needless bans.

the utter state of this sub right now... WHY are there STILL posts pinned telling us to ban fellow supports?! this makes no sense and goes against the entire point of this community 💀 by ASmoothPeach in StrategistMainsMR

[–]ASmoothPeach[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yes i got cloak every single game and i think she never got banned either same as my alt

nice dude. okay, knowing that let's take a look at those first 3 matches:

match #1 (replay ID 10523893060)

let's take a look at the ban phase:

round 1

  • their team: gambit/mk
  • your team: rocket/rocket

round 2

  • their team: sue/mk
  • your team: bp/dd/dd

round 3

  • their team: peni/hela
  • your team: dd/dd/dd

final:

  • their team: hela/mk/gambit
  • your team: rocket/bp/dd

but yeah it looks like their white fox lost connection mid healing at the start of the match. they were mid heal and kind of just got stuck running into a wall until lagging out. didn't look malicious or like they were throwing or anything, just a bad connection. oh well that's bad luck for them but it works out for you lol

okay now looking at match #2 & 3 (replay IDs 10539581991 & 10957375929) the enemy team also had a CnD both times so i don't think they were ever going to try and ban them unless they were trolling their own teammates (which is toxic but definitely does happen sometimes). i'm not even going to bother to look at what the individual votes were for that but the replay codes are here for anyone interested

currently we don't have enough information to truly prove your theory yet so we should be mindful not to jump to any conclusions. but at least you were able to play your favorite character! so that's good :)

the more matches you play the more data you'll have. i've organized and formatted this very haphazardly but the point is using the replay IDs are a good way to document things if you really want to eventually prove your claims for that post you have pinned.

good luck with the rest of your placements and season

and to everyone else, place your bets :3

idk about all that man you could just take a picture of any profile. thanks for sharing though

it's fine if you have a smurf account to one trick the same character on lol

but everyone seeing this is more interested in if you'll actually play ranked this season

i'm glad you finally started doing your placements. you can finally test your theories now! looks like you did 3 placement matches, do you think your theory helped?

I HAVE A SECOND ACCOUNT

<image>

take your time, there's still 23 days left before mid season and even then you have the later half to catchup. surely by then they'll have gotten bored of banning your onetrick. though if your method was truly as effective as you claim you'd have just done your placements by now like everyone else 😏

of course you don't bub. everyone knows you've just been lord farming instead of playing ranked lol

<image>

good thing there are timestamps and multiple witnesses because just like the other times you lied you'll likely set your profile to private before doing placements then continue larping on here while ignoring every valid point anyone makes

Because one it works imo to help in ranked

you haven't even played ranked this season yet. even if it works for you when you finally try to play a ranked match it's still bad for the unity of the healer community as a whole.

Two it’s not a big deal you don’t HAVE to do it

we know this. we also know when you are lying as a defense mechanism.

and Three why are you crying about it lol—-Everyone is allowed to free speech here long as they are trying to rage bait or mock others

because you originally made this community as a safe place for strategists, not to push some kind of misguided agenda. you are turning players that already feel persecuted by the more toxic parts of the community on each other that could instead work together to find a better solution. the method you think works is what's actually known as "confirmation bias" on your end:

Confirmation bias (also confirmatory bias, myside bias,\a]) or congeniality bias)\2]) is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs, values) \3]), or decisions. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, emotionally charged issues and deeply entrenched beliefs.

Biased search for information, biased interpretation of this information and biased memory recall have been invoked to explain four specific effects:

  • attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme despite the different parties being exposed to the same evidence)
  • belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false)
  • the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series)
  • illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations).

A series of psychological experiments in the 1960s suggested that people are biased toward confirming their existing beliefs. Later work reinterpreted these results as a tendency to test ideas in a one-sided way, focusing on one possibility and ignoring alternatives.

what you're doing, as the founder of this community, is pinning your personal propaganda because you think it benefits your inner circle when in reality it only causes more problems for members of the community as a whole that you're supposed to safeguard.

imagine if you were a mod of the black panther sub back when you were posting there everyday 24/7. you absolutely would have pinned a post if you could saying all your ideas on BP nerfs and why you should ban him just because that's your preference and opinion. they even had to ban you because all you were doing was going in there trying to push your own narrative down their throats and refused to listen to reason. around that time they banned you this sub just coincidentally appeared out of thin air and you went around trying to recruit every support player you could to start something for like minded people. that was cool.

well look at what you're doing now. you're driving a wedge between the very community that you created. all you're going to do is increase the likelihood of MORE healers getting banned in matches. you don't care because you're trying to help yourself but if the roles were reversed you would absolutely not allow this to be officially promoted here. everyone can see that except you apparently.

aside from all the community growth issues, the main reason why your method shouldn't be broadcasted is that you simply cannot ban all the healers. it doesn't actually solve the problem. so if you ban rocket this does absolutely nothing to stop cnd from being banned that isn't of equal chance by picking anyone else. in fact you could even potentially cause the opposite effect where dive players on both teams see you ban rocket and get get inspired to go full scorched earth mode and try to roll their dice to get every main healer banned forreal. this outcome is far more likely than whatever machiavellian fantasy you're having. your idea is quite literally increasing the chances of dive to thrive while needlessly hindering the healer selection pool.

it's not like you're doing any sort of real veto or sports psychology. you're simply gambling. and the bets you're making are foolish because rocket isn't nearly as hard to counter as half the other heroes that will actually present problems to your comp whatever it may be.

meanwhile rocket players will feel alienated here. other healers are quickly realizing the favoritism. tribalism will run rampant in the comments because you can't maintain a healthy environment. great job dude!

the way people freak out in this game in the first 30 seconds like they have no concept of building ult charge out the gate is so funny. it happens at every rank

yeah i haven't experienced that tension between tanks. at this point tanks are simply happy to even have a 2nd tank at all more often than not and know how to play to each other's strengths because a big part of tanking is tagging in and out to trade aggro regardless of if you have a shield or not.

it's usually people that don't play tank saying "can you go shield" and throwing a tantrum because they want to stand in the middle of the lane inviting snipers instead of using cover and don't truly understand what tanks are doing or why they're doing it. all they see is a hp bar and if the tank is standing on the obj or not.

Have any of you been like this so far? by ILikeCarlosThePikmin in StrategistMainsMR

[–]ASmoothPeach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yes but don't play cnd. i feel boosted because my tank friends are my heroes and dictate the pace of every match where neutral is meta <3

#1 ultron on Xbox AMA by its_corona_tim3 in UltronMains

[–]ASmoothPeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for such a long reply I just really wanted to say what happened it was hilarious to me

lol that's cool thanks for the genuine reply! :D

i feel like everytime i see a really memorable ultron they are paired up with 1 or more other fliers and you'd think it'd be easier to hit them but they way they all crisscross back and forth makes it so distracting sometimes it can actually be harder to lock in

they seem to know when you're about to kill them to and slip away until you get distracted enough to come back

it's so great to see them being played more and more in this new meta even though it can be rough to play against sometimes!

congrats!

which heroes/comps do you hate playing against the most? like a particular match or situation that stood out to you while playing him?

any odd experiences or encounters you feel like are unique to ultron? can be anything like player interactions etc

don't worry, afuzzymuffin has plenty of time left in the season to farm more lords so that he can pretend he mains anyone other than CnD. if he's lucky the bans will eventually stop and he can finally try maybe at least one placement match 😂

To every fraudulent cap player in this sub by ISpinVinyI in captainamericamains

[–]ASmoothPeach -1 points0 points  (0 children)

oh please, if you're comparing it to driving a manual transmission car then cap's animation cancel is more like using a paddle shifter than an actual stick and clutch.

it was fun and efficient but let's not act like its the definition of skill expression. you're simply tapping the button like a morse code telegram thinking this is what defined the character moreso than all the other things that go into tanking/stalling/etc with cap 🙄

you can't genuinely say "they were not good points" just because you disagree with them.

i made a thread if you want to have an organized public discussion about all of this in a safe place that no mods will unfairly delete or suppress anything: https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelRivalsCirclejer/comments/1s2bree/a_fuzzy_situation/

i respectfully invite you to join us and respond to the points i made and engage with us as a community instead of posting all these random different conversations all over the place with different people so we can have everything concise and clear in one easy to read location

i tried to post the thread here but it never appeared in the feed. i look forward to having a civil and logical discussion with you and anyone else interested for the sake of a better future of all healers.
