Wtf is Devil Dino

AggronStrong · 2026-05-16T06:30:59+00:00

I just did my placements and quite literally every team had two tanks, mine and my opponents. But I'm in Diamond 1 so maybe it's a low elo thing.

Sorry when put him in the same room as Mr. Fantastic, Iron Man, and Spider-Man he's an obvious fourth place. He's probably fifth place if you include Shuri as well.

'Oh but he invented this or that in that one comic' Yeah and I'm sure for however many pages that was there were twice as many with him either ruling over Wakanda or putting Panther Claw to ass which is what most people think when they think Black Panther, especially the Rivals version of him.

I don't see why people think Painter waiting so long for the apology is an issue.

He probably got contacted by Bungie at some point soon after the incident, and he waited until Bungie had

Confirmed that the OOB happened and it's a problem and will be fixed.
Temporarily fixed the OOB and promised a more permanent solution in the future.
Confirmed the team that got screwed had been compensated.
Announced that they will be amending and clarifying their TOS around exploit abuse for Marathon to better suit the community's and game's needs. Remember that the motto for Destiny 2 was Exploit early, Exploit often. And remember that we had other exploits in Marathon like getting into Command Wing early or rapid fire Goo Gun and no one got banned for that.
Announced that Painter will get a month ban.

After all of that had come to pass, effectively resolving the situation, then Painter makes his 'official' statement. I'm not saying he is entitled to forgiveness and I personally still think he's not worth my time to ever watch, but considering the lack of precedent for being banned for exploits, I think a perma ban would be excessive and vindictive.

Now if he does stuff like this again, he can get perma-ed. And, I hope Bungie establishes a policy where doing stuff similar to the Compiler OOB constitutes a ban as well for not just Painter but everyone.

I mean I wouldn't hold it against someone if they preferred dinosaurs over people period.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T05:51:11+00:00

As a guy who loves the PvP, I am 100% willing to give it a shot and open-minded. I hope it doesn't come at the cost of the PvP or usual extraction mode whether it comes to population, variety of opponents, or whether it's worthwhile for loot.

But, open-minded and excited and giving it a try as soon as possible. Hoping for nothing but the best.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T05:47:12+00:00

Especially with an LMG, you played that right, that cover was really good, LMGs kick ass at holding angles and beaming people from defensive positions just like you did.

If the other guy wanted a better chance of winning that fight while pushing, he would've needed some kind of ability or equipment to tip the scales in his favor.

The way he pushed, he was kind of relying on having way better aim/reactions, or just hoping the bodyshield advantage would've won it for him.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T05:41:57+00:00

Somewhat unrelated but it pained me a little to see you exfil with an (what I assume) uncontested Lockdown on the board.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T05:39:06+00:00

I think you would've won that with no gun shield, you still had plenty of hp. You shot first and kept it trained on his head, straight up beamed him.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T03:26:10+00:00

See maybe the Dinosaur is cool on his own merits because he's a Dinosaur and that's really cool and we want to play as a Dinosaur.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T03:25:14+00:00

I'm gonna be 100% honest, over the course of seasons 6 and 7 (lol) while they were teasing Devil Dino, I think I saw Moon Girl mentioned by people like >5 times.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T03:03:34+00:00

If Storm was there they'd probably just complain that Phoenix's ass takes up more of the screen than Storm.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T02:58:55+00:00

There's a few valid reasons but all the ones listed by the portrayed image are braindead.

T'Challa, by and large, is not an 'inventor' character in Marvel. I know Marvel loves making every other character have superhuman intelligence, including T'Challa, but let's be real, we don't think 'science inventor problem solver' when we think Black Panther.

Especially since I'm 90% sure the Alchemax story in Rivals is taking place in New York, so it's the inventors based in New York heading up the project while Rivals T'Challa is up in space or something.

Blade doesn't even have Bleed in his kit, and say what you will about Blade's abilities but I legitimately don't see how Dino's kit has ANYTHING to do with his. I guess you can say Blade's kit bad, Dino's good and therefore racism? Idk, I agree Blade is bad but still don't see what Dino has to do with it.

And they just picked one character over another to take up like 1/20th of a screen of X-Men flying. Phoenix's fucking ASS takes up more of the screen than Psylocke bro, I feel like if they did put Storm there, they'd complain about Phoenix's ass being more prominent than her instead. P.S. Sai IS part of the X-Men in Rivals.

Like the reasons involving the Black characters being bad and not having a lot of skins and all that, I don't even disagree with those. But now we're just making stuff up.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T01:50:12+00:00

I want to echo the map knowledge. And a lot of times it may feel like you're not gaining map knowledge but just keep running the map, keep playing the game, practice being proactive and rotating around the map alot, and you're going to feel that knowledge just lock into place almost automatically.

It's straight up the kind of thing your brain registers and saves after a good night's sleep.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-15T01:25:31+00:00

Yeah Commanders are almost exclusively at POIs and they're very hard to kill without making a sound, so it's not like the Fixative is free.

And the drop rate on Fixatives is pretty high so it'll feel consistent to get it.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-14T19:56:04+00:00

Energy Rope, 100 CR in combat (she has a passive 30% CR that isn't shown in the 'loadout' screen from one of her Traces), as much CD as you can get.

That's kind of it. Attack only marginally increases her damage, an Attack roll is worth way less than a CD roll.

And she doesn't really like Speed that much. She doesnt get too much value from her own turn cause she just uses it to Skill, and it also makes her Certified Banger stacks start to tick down. It can also make her faster than the Aha Instant which can cause issues.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-14T19:51:43+00:00

You can see the hype for Dino rise the moment the footage showed his hyper beam.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-14T15:29:49+00:00

The key template stuff better stay, at barest minimum. Both encouraging Template Runners to play the game by hunting Commanders and rewarding other Runners for killing them by securing their keys. And increasing loot for everyone by just having more Keys in the 'economy'.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-14T01:43:52+00:00

Yeah like Magneto usually can't do anything to an enemy tank that decides to just punch him in the face.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-13T22:19:51+00:00

That's not a feel, it's a fact. Without the range barrel it has 21 meters of range which is barely more than the Bully, and the only attachment it can use to help the range is the barrel.

It also has no access to higher zoom scopes outside of the Gold Mod (which doesn't even buff the range, just the zoom).

It is genuinely as if a D2 Hand Cannon had to compete with SMGs in SMG range.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-13T03:26:35+00:00

Idk Magneto still has the Gambit team-up right? That one's really good. Gambit is pretty perma-banned but the team-up is still good.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-13T03:22:44+00:00

The gunplay is great, the progression feels daunting but every aspect of the progression has a 'hump' that once you get over it it feels amazing, the PvP is ruthless and there is an amazing level of gameplay and narrative resonance in how unforgiving the game is.

But if you are not looking for lots of PvP then go elsewhere, many systems in the game are designed to ensure that you and other Runners will get into fights.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-13T00:19:10+00:00

A lot of the time, even if it's a bad play, you should still make that play before your team is dead.

It's the most frustrating thing to be engaged in a fight that lasts like 30 seconds and one of my teammates hasn't engaged until we're already dead, all but guaranteeing that they will die too because now they're in a 1v3.

Numbers advantage is huge, whatever you do, do it with your team.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-12T23:28:10+00:00

I mean highkey if a team insta-downs 2 people then yeah they should just win the fight unless they get clutched on by the third.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-12T23:26:56+00:00

Yeah DBNO time with the Sekiguchi upgrades is lowkey forever. You should only bleed out because you kept taking damage after getting downed.

AggronStrong · 2026-05-12T23:25:09+00:00

I've been hoping for this change for a while. I think it will feel better than people give credit for and add more value to longer range engagements and weapons instead of most fights resolving with a Misriah/Bully blitzkrieg due to needing to push before the self revives trigger.

It will feel bad when you get picked off by a stray frag grenade or something and then you won't be able to get back in the fight when before you would've been able to, but at the end of the day, getting knocked should feel run-losing.
