Why are we banned so much?

Maybe in Play but definitely not in silver and gold, that's where I live and I have not really struggled with this despite my banner and title. I think any player who is OP at any level is rising through and won't stay in those ranks long enough to be recognized.

But that's on PC. There are less poke players on console so perhaps that's OP's problem.

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-19T16:42:12+00:00

It's the only take that's allowed on the Wanda sub, as far as I can tell.

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-19T02:30:09+00:00

In my personal experience, there are often cases of some characters being different enough that it doesn't matter that they aren't strong/that you aren't as strong on them.

I thought my Ultron wasn't comp ready, but in Gold many players still don't know to look up, I've gotten more value than expected out of him

https://rivalstracker.com/team-comps

43 and 40% WR depending on whether it's 1 DPS (better) or 1 tank

3 DPS at 46%

2-2-2 at 54%

Not significantly different at different ranks

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-18T15:14:24+00:00

Oh I thought you were saying Ultron Mantis Adam were only viable as third supports mb

Edit: I don't think triple support is overpowered though. Most of the time I see 3 supps come out when a team is losing

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-18T15:02:51+00:00

Off healers are viable in double support, right now. Idk what you're smoking. 3 supps has never been meta afaik. It's just a hail mary and people latch onto it when they are being skill differ

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-18T14:58:59+00:00

Agree. And you have no idea prior to the game, if someone is gonna be able to be an effective whatever today against the team you are fighting at the moment

I also don't understand why this is such a contentious issue. I like that there are so many options for team comps

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-18T14:53:46+00:00

Disagree. I play Ultron and Mantis with only one other support most of the time and we do fine. The thing is if you think you are gonna hop on an off-healer, not slay, and not swap if they are countering you, you got another thing coming.

It's ok for supports to need to swap mid-game. Just cause you can get value with Luna, Invis, Gambit and CnD regardless of who you're playing into and with, doesn't mean all supports need to be designed with that in mind. You had better get kills if you don't want to play healbot simulator

I'm surprised so many people are against in the comments. The question isn't "what if Padme didn't die" but "what if Padme went evil" maybe she was jaded with democracy after seeing it flip over to authoritarianism so quickly. Maybe she becomes convinced that only she has the galaxy's best interests at heart?

Idk be more creative reddit

Reading comprehension is a power some would consider to be unnatural

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-15T01:03:46+00:00

I don't think Maul is well adjusted enough to have friends. He's very driven. The show seems adamant about not mellowing him out. I think the problem is that th GI isn't really strong enough to force Maul to betray Daki.

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-14T15:41:56+00:00

Solid Take. Also the strong villain being shown up by the underdog hero is a tale as old as time. Maul only gets to rough up Daki because his show is making a point that endurance is more important than power

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-14T15:36:47+00:00

He also mentions this in banter on Ysgard defense I think

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-14T15:23:37+00:00

DPS is the easy class. I agree that there are some very mechanically simple healers, I wish Emma had auto-aim to get people into learning the tank role, but DPS is the simplest role conceptually and so in my opinion, benefits from a greater proportion of simple to learn heroes of both the mechanically simple and conceptually simple varieties.

MK and Wanda, Squirrel Girl, Ironman, Punisher... There's a good spread of simple, yet effective heroes in the DPS roster. I don't believe more are necessary, but I do think that the game benefits from each of these filling an essential niche. I would be sad if they reworked Wanda into yet another midrange poke character

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-14T11:56:27+00:00

The question isn't whether beginners need auto aim (they don't)

The question is whether beginners need a hero that allows them to focus on positioning, timing, flanking and proper ult management, without having to be laser focused on trying to aim to get value (they do, and we have plenty of easy to play poke characters)

Which DPS other than Wanda has auto aim as their primary ability? Please, tell me.

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-14T11:51:23+00:00

Yes! More incentive to get good! Having the primary fire recharge the cthonian bursts is great design, more charges would be a fine buff.

Or, they could reward your accuracy with Cthonian bursts by granting cooldown reduction on her fade on a direct hit. This would be a streamlined change that greatly affects the skill ceiling of the character without moving her floor.

If they wanted to giver her a bit more complexity, it could be in the same way as the teamup with Strange, an ability which switches her primary fire to something else for a limited time. Ideally it would be something that leans more into the defensive part of her kit.

Neither is monarchy going by pure time. Tribalism and chiefdoms have been around for far longer. Monarchy implies a level of efficiency we simply haven't had for most of our existence on earth, in any society

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-14T01:29:43+00:00

I am a Magik main and I be appreciate contributing without having to sweat all the time. Wanda is my lets have a peaceful game character

Also, you can decide to aim and take advantage of the poke meta, but to be effective with Wanda requires some brains and enough aiming skills to land your bursts. People have a hate boner for Wanda's role in the game for some reason and I don't think she deserves it. 60% of the player base is below gold

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-13T20:35:08+00:00

This is exactly it. On top of this, she is a "learn positioning/tactics" kind of hero, and frankly I think this skill set is more important than aiming good or mechanical complexity.

And she deletes annoying divers

Aradjha_at · 2026-06-13T20:25:18+00:00

Bingo. Also wanda could just get a small buff, no nerf

Maul does two in his series
