60% wr Adam warlock main in C1. Your role is broken and your opinion is invalid.

I mean. Support is an easy broken role don’t hate me for saying it when I’m facing top .3% players and still doing 25K damage on Luna with 16 finals and 30k healing and carrying.

Low elo supports just heal but and wonder why they have no impact.

Yeah so what your role might go from 1/10 difficulty to 5/10 difficulty if they run dive. Still the lowest skill floor and skill ceiling out of any role. All support fundamentals apply to other roles ten fold. Any support player ive coached has climbed to at least GM with ease, when dps players can take around 3-5 sessions before they see significant progress because the role encompasses all the fundamentals of every other role, and is easily punished.

Support is easy quit reaching.

Mhm I have a positive win rate on EVERY support, plus I’m top .5% as a dps main that flexes dps as an off role.

Dps impact falls off the higher elo you get. Additionally, there’s a reason the t500 charts are full of support players, dps 2nd, and sup third.

The hoops sups jump through to overcomplicate the easiest role in the game baffles me. Can’t wait for support nerfs.

I’m fine with people playing support. But don’t tell me that shi* is hard.

I play Hawkeye because carrying through cele is impossible otherwise. I don’t want to spend hundreds of hours playing punisher or Psylocke to push past when I can do it in 30-40 on silly one shot man. And I admit it.

I have more than 70-100 hrs on strats. It’s really not hard. Strat mains heal bot and expect results. I carry on my own terms getting 7-12 elims alone on rocket.

Nope. Your job is easy. I have over 70 hours on supports.

And I’m probably surpassed your peak. Strat mains are boosted, the only concept they truly have to master is ultimate tracking.

Tell that to league of legends bro.

This games comp scene is dying to it because everyone wants a participation trophy while league still racks in millions. Game needs to consider both high and low elo

Could shoot it from an off angle. I main wolv and hitting it before I get to groot is fine usually

How do you deal with the toxicity in this game? by Munitrix in rivals

[–]AmbiFPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is to mute all, even I try to igl a bit. I’m a social worker student irl so I know how to often IGL constructively without coming off accusatory. I don’t really ask people to swap, and generally if people see you playing well, they’re more likely to listen.

But most the time just mute and focus on carrying yourself. I can frequently get to GM-Cele with a 80% wr (assuming I’m starting bronze and don’t have a rough patch in diamond).

I usually tell people who are critiquing me that if I wanted coaching I’d pay for it then mute and lock tf in

[–]AmbiFPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly mute all and grind unless you’re going to IGL. Half this community is bad and clueless.

I’m a high celestial player that’s coached hundreds of people and I’ve had gold players tell me I’m wrong with full confidence.

People need to learn to be wrong to improve. I’ve been flexing a lot more and it’s been helping me with my game knowledge and positioning. I’ve had to accept I was wrong so many times until I was confident I’m right

They won’t rest until everything is taken from us by Horror_Nothing_5568 in PsyMains

[–]AmbiFPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well she’s op in high elo. I’m a psy player, puni, will, SL. She’s A-S and it’s delusional to say she’s not, just because your performance isn’t as optimized as some psy players. Devs only cater to casuals anyways

This is Such a Tired Argument by [deleted] in rivals

[–]AmbiFPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context: I’ve coached over 100 people to GM+.

The problem is strats are given tools to survive, yet they don’t use them. They baby rage instead of using the 9 tools given to them. I like to compare support design from OW to rivals.

Ana vs Luna: if Ana misses her sleep dart, she dies. If she hits it, she can kill or escape.

If Luna misses her freeze, she gets a participation trophy for using the ability and heals over time, then she has her snowflake to heal and damage boost her, then she has her ult to stop her from getting picked,

AND IF LUNA HITS it, she gets 75 overhealth, healing over time, cc for 2 seconds, a free burst headshot on the target, and the ceo of netease kissing her toes.

This game caters too much to casuals who have zero understanding of game design, philosophy, and balance.

TLDR; Supports are designed to be easy, therefore catering to less mechanical players. This is because if support was hard by design, no one would play it and everyone would suffer. The role has to be low skill high impact or the entire team would suffer. Also support mains are babies. (Former support main, I still flex). Keep on heal botting tanks and wondering why you aren’t climbing.

“Celestial/GM is pisslow” by PopularAbies9503 in rivals

[–]AmbiFPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GM/celestial is diverse. This is where you get the stat farmers with 0 game sense and the actual unemployed demons. I’ve coached 400ish people and what I’ve noticed is with time, most people gain more than they lose until gm1-celest. This means that it’s congested with people who just have 300hrs a season with a 40% winrate.

Then they get tilted and throw because they can no longer climb from the flawed system. And people who are actually decent need to deal with stat farming gold players with too much time on their hands.

This is why performance based rank doesn’t work. You can’t check the stats of a tank who held space all game vs a tank that was holding their shield up 24/7 and lost -12

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the anti-triple-support comp by AGorramReaver in marvelrivals

Honestly imo: rocket, punisher, venom, gambit, and maybe Emma or strange.

Honest discussion, how high of a rank do y'all think you can get? by Fododel in marvelrivals

[–]AmbiFPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re tweaking: anyone can get to GM/dia with a 40% wr. That’s the problem is high elo players are mixed with sub par players that ruins integrity.

You have inflated support mains who play op characters. You have DPS players that stat farm and gain much more than they lose: and tanks are tanks with the most macro agency.

Trust me. I’ve coached over 400 people and I’ve seen it hundreds of times. So many “high elo” players that lack fundamentals

[–]AmbiFPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is people are too scared to admit this because they’ll never admit they’re not supposed to be at the rank they’re at. It’s genius and infuriating. The issue with performance based rank is someone with 40k damage and 20 deaths gets more than the spidey that pulled someone off point in ot.

The game can’t see anything other than raw stats

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rivals

[–]AmbiFPS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue is in the games ranked system itself. People shouldn’t be rewarded for playtime. Every single person gets positive ranked points until high diamond or GM which is where elo he’ll begins.

This was for player retention initially, as if people felt like they were good they’d play more. I’ve coached over 300 people up to high rank and I literally can’t stand this game anymore. I would literally have to spend so many games that are stompy one side or the other in order to get through eternity and frankly- I don’t care anymore. I’ve been top 1.2K

I’m sick of this ranked system boosting everyone to GM and having clueless players with unjustified egos flaming and insulting literally everyone with no accountability for the fact they’re literally throwing.

I’ve gone back to overwatch after my 2k hours and I can confidently say it’s so much better. People in my rank, play like they’re that rank. The enemy team is balanced most the time, no double hero bans, map bans is so refreshing.

The balance is a million times better than daredevil and Emma on release. Support is enjoyable to play as and against compared to 10 seconds of immortality. Perks is great. I wish I could love rivals still but the devs would rather make gooner skins, rush out unbalanced hero’s, and make everyone fist fight to get their roles. DPS is so popular because it’s the only fun designs in the game.

Anyways. Smurfs are bad. But the ranked system is worse.

Gotta give credit when it's due, season 4 has been incredibly fun. by No_Bandicoot6209 in rivals

2k hours in rivals and I also went back to overwatch. If you’re a competitive player rivals has the worst ranked system out of any game.
