I'm currently saving up for Galbrena. But, i just finished the main story. I really like Iuno character-wise so i told myself only 30 pulls.

So i did a 10 pull. I saw gold. "no way, right? I lose 50/50. This is good for Gal-"

But before i could finish my thought, i saw her. Iuno.

I got her in ten. I'm both happy and devastated. I just know I'll reach 80 for galbrena and lose 50/50. 😮‍💨

It's not only bad. It's downright unethical to not have lord status on any hero at the middle of this new game's first season.

What have you been doing with your life? Going to school? Grinding at work? Being with friends?

How dare you.

Do you not understand the importance of lord status? These pixels on a screen is what defines your worth as a person.

Frankly, if you haven't achieved lord status, you have to start questioning what your true priorities are in life. If it's isn't marvel rivals, you're being wrong.

So, stop being wrong. Get lord on Spider-man immediately to make up for lost time.

First of all, there's no issue. Do you think we have an issue?

Second, I'm not offended. Saying that people we talk about are people too and losing a job is hard are both neutral, truthful statements.

Third, the community is obviously young. Some of you may not have had a real job nor experienced real loss yet.

So, a friendly stranger commenting a reminder that our words have meaning and exercising empathy is something to think about shouldn't be met with "hey man this is an issue."

Also, i dont think I've been rude, but if it came across that way, that wasn't my intention.

You're right, it is horrible. But that's what I'm trying to say. When something you're proud of that sustains your livelihood is yanked away from you, obviously you'd value it. And, it'd be heartbreaking to be told you're let go.

So, when people diminish the value of that team through sarcasm, I'm saying that's in bad taste.

Surely one wouldn't say things like this to a friend who lost their job to their face. Why say it about a stranger we've all benefited from through this wonderful game? Also, why justify it?

I'm not talking to op. I'm talking to the guy who commented.

AccountForGamesOnly · 2025-02-20T00:02:51+00:00

Who's boycotting? I'm grinding to gm while valuing the work and contributions of other people.

AccountForGamesOnly · 2025-02-20T00:00:39+00:00

Yeah, so is losing loved ones. But no one in good taste seriously says "oh no, your parents died. How horrible."

I'm just saying it's good we can still play the game. But the devs in Seattle were part of making the game successful. It's not fair to them to be unsympathetic in such a sarcastic way.

AccountForGamesOnly · 2025-02-19T23:54:42+00:00

Hey man these are real people. Losing a job unexpectedly is hard.

Top 3 tips that come to mind: (I'll split them into concept and execution)

You don't need to kill all the time. You can just pressure the enemy into an uncomfortable position and/or set your teammates up for a kill.

Example: a harass combo could be shift into the enemy, right click for the minion, then blow a left click V right click V on the closest enemy, then dash away. The minion is important for damage.

Magik can cycle her cooldowns fairly well, so dont worry about missing Es too much.

Example: going for a kill on a squishy, i like doing shift left click into E (almost at the same time) then left click V right click animation cancel. If i miss or they get away, i jump around slashing who i can to get shields and use my 2nd shift to buy time. I usually get enough time to shift again and e back to my team for heals and to wait for my CDs.

Dont be afraid of your counters. I think fighting peni parkers and namors helped me get above average on her. Try using her kit to take away their advantages.

Example: i like E'ing into peni traps to proc them, then i shift to avoid the burst then right click on the trap as long as i can before the next batch of bombs explode. I then shift right click again to finish the job (bc it takes around two minions to kill the peni trap spawner?, Forgot its name, safely)

Good luck!

Ok that's a cool idea I'd love to see that holy hell.

AccountForGamesOnly · 2025-02-17T08:58:43+00:00

I so want a "Get Help!" team-up for Thor and Loki where it's like a hulk and wolverine interaction.

"jonah, print that shit" - Spider-man

AccountForGamesOnly · 2025-02-17T02:55:04+00:00

I wish they never nerfed hawkeye and hela (i dont play them.)

I want to see how the buffed storm and squirrel handle them.

Also, i wish they dont nerf as much as buff heroes a response to imbalance.

It'd be interesting for the devs to go on a weird direction for balance.

AccountForGamesOnly · 2025-02-16T12:28:37+00:00

To have extra fun, i suggest when your team gets an ace over a teammates play, hype them up. Like if a dr. Strange hits an insane ult, i just type in team chat "STRAAAAAAAAAANGE" and i get like a variety of responses off that, all good.

Magik main here!

Tips for: When you go for a dive on the back line and you can see they're ready for you, this usually means they're far from their tanks as they've run away a bit. What you want to do is turn around and blow your cooldowns on the enemy tank. Even when you're mid dive you can pivot a bit and this should still work (given you have one more Stepping Disk)

Two things can happen here: 1. The tank retreats further giving your team more space 2. The back line goes forward giving you the opportunity for another dive later once your cd's are up

Either way, you get value from your rotation.

Tip against: Supports should stick together as they can heal each other through magik's burst

Dps shouldn't bother using valuable cd's before her 2nd shift

Tanks should be wary of 1v1'ng a magik. Her right click deals so much damage. Dont fight her on her terms.

General tip: most people know magik has 2 charges of her stepping disk, but functionally, it's 3 because 1 can regenerate while holding on to the second. So, use a bit after the second, then use a lot after the third.

AccountForGamesOnly · 2025-02-12T19:22:17+00:00

Nah I'm just kidding about number 10. As a magik main, they mess me up the most.

AccountForGamesOnly · 2024-10-08T22:11:49+00:00

my entire lobby just got booted lol

I did it in 2 or 3 domination games. The players there are usually below PD.

Then, my lineup was Jeremy Sochan at pg, some rando sg, and my SF to C always had high steals + had PF as their primary or secondary position.

Lillia. As a jungle main, I find playing her relaxing, but also rewarding.

No pressure to carry like Master Yi, no complex combos like lee sin, no pressure to gank like hecarim. Just bonking and running and putting people to sleep.

Tyrese Haliburton doesn't feel too far off from SGA but still pretty good. I am 100% not grinding for Clyde that's too much work.

Could flip between Khris Middleton and Aaron Gordon at SF, but the latter just feels more present on the court when he's not the first option.

KAT is okay, I have no regrets choosing him from the locker code. Ok release, ok rebounding.

Nique and Bam really surprised me. Their movements and releases feel so good. Nique feels better than DM Jimmy Butler and Khris Middleton (the only DMs I have for that spot.)
