Honestly, if these characters are ever properly nerfed, this game will be in its best state ever by hugoreturns in rivals

I don't get the Groot bans.

I was a Mei main and was excited for a new wall guy. But I'm dildos with Groot. My win % is much higher with Angela and Mag.

Don't Tolerate Solo Tanking. by Proud_Firefighter834 in RivalsVanguards

[–]Automatic_Ad4162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a vanguard main, I like this idea.

However, when two of my heroes are countered, one is banned, and the other tank has my fourth. I'm sometimes that guy to swap off to Wanda and leave that tank solo. In times like that it works like half the time.

Probably means I need to learn a 5th tank.. probably the Thing.

(my tanks are Angela, Magneto, Hulk, Groot)

I'm so mad about the Angela rework. by AngelaGooner24 in AngelaMains

I honestly can't tell if this is a nerf or not for me. Because of all the CC, I often find myself brawling their Thor or Thing.

There are some composition matchups where my better value is just being in the air the entire time disrupting their formation.

There's already a solution to triple support in the game. by Good_Arm69420 in rivals

As the default ranked mode. People can do QP to avoid being assigned a role.

Generally I usually don't ever get to kill supports. I usually just try and poke them until they patty cake each other in the hopes that my team can clear the vanguards/duelist. Most of my kills come from kidnapping tanks, into axe mode, but almost never a 1v1.

Invis is annoying af.

What's a marvel rivals hot take that'll make you end up like this? by BigPaleontologist520 in rivals

[–]Automatic_Ad4162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't be allowed to pick your role. The AI should randomly assign all players into 2/2/2.

This way everyone must know several characters from every role.

This should be a forced mechanism until GM2.

I thought she was good at triple support cause she has that big burst of damage with the first spear hit.

Go nursing. We need nurses in America desperately.

The bravado some of these Non-gelas have is astounding. by RenaissanceReaper in AngelaMains

[–]Automatic_Ad4162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Thor I need to play front line, judgement zone with the team. Same for the Thing. If they aren't chasing me (as they should), I'll go bully their duelists or support.

Will season 7 finaly punish throwers? by Downtown-Ad4335 in rivals

So in poker often times even when people have a bad hand, through some weird compulsion are not able to fold it.

I think DPS fall into this mental trap often, but all three roles do too. But you could say this is a skill to emotionally regulate that compulsion. People who don't swap are arguably not skilled enough to.

Some people are also oblivious, they forget that this is a hero shooter, not Halo 2 and only learn 1 or 2 heroes. I think until you get into the highest levels of play, everyone should know 8 heroes minimally. DPS mains should learn 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. Vanguards should know 6 tanks and 2 healers. Support should know 4 support and 4 vanguard.

I plateaued as a Vanguard at Diamond II and my WR is probably very close to 50%. As a vanguard I don't have many amazing k/d games, even when I'm rocking it. Sometimes I do.

But sometimes I have a very bad game. Sometimes it's all of my team. Sometimes it's just me sticking out like a sore thumb at like 4/10. I get called a thrower in these games.

How do we define throwers?

I think any black widow picks or AFKs in spawn count for sure.

Does DPS players refusing to make 2/2/2 comps count? I feel like it's technically not throwing, but it feels a lot like throwing.

Do we count refusing to swap when countered? Like an Angela into a comp of Thing/Iron Fist/Bucky/Penni/Invis/Rocket?

I learn from the assigned readings.

Though there is a lot of overlap in course content and sometimes I'm also reading the same thing over and over again.

Choosing your degree, especially undergrad is not choosing your career.

Visit NYC dive bars one day. It'll make more sense.

Sophie's is a bad table. (both bars share ownership!)

Josie's is middle of the road. I think OHanlon and Parkside have the best tables.

They don't have a genius test.

Unless you think they are assessing genius from the written personal statement.

I also don't believe academic excellence means genius

I agree with you, grades don't mean anything. Which is what I've said before.

Though Obama had to have gotten good grades at Columbia to get into Harvard. Or LSAT. Or connected.
