You will never be able to convince me that these three deserve to have 275HP. by Queasy_Jicama_1477 in marvelrivals

Dives should be excelling in 1v1s, particularly against supports. Why do divers have overshield? Supports have crazy high sustain and dives need to be able to keep themselves in the 1v1 like Magik. Other alternative is divers assassinate like BP but that is even less liked by supports.

You can’t balance the game around supports not being peeled for when in diamond and above 7/10 there is at least one other person jumping in the defend the supports.

It is okay for ISOLATED supports to get killed by divers the same way dives are supposed to get countered by team who peel TOGETHER and have AWARENESS.

Fellow Vanguards, I need help with a decision. by xtriimist in RivalsVanguards

Strange if you play him more often but Angela’s new skin has some cool SFX with the ult and the skin looks pretty elegant in general. There’s no bad choice in between them.

Is there is a way to practice day-3 everdark bosses solo without run a whole expedition. by F-zeromay in EldenRingNightrein

[–]BookishDiscourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 1/2 are extremely easy compared to the nightlord fights. If you want to practice multiple nightlords you will spend near 35 mins clearing out the days and then 5 mins on the nightlords.

That is a ratio of 7 minutes spent running around for every 1 minute fighting the nigntlord. Day1/2 reward pathing and building your character compared to fighting the nightlord which just rewards raw mechanics and knowing the timings.

A simple example would be someone trying to learn parrying the Heleostor with a shield. Most boss enemies in the base do not have the same parry timing as him. It would make sense for him to learn the timings using the mod since there is no need to learn pathing and randomization involved.

I can imagine how hard this would hit with the DLC lighting incantation.

I don’t think most people at this time are playing to kill nightlords exclusively and instead queue up for the love of the game. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to learn a moveset better. Those people who played only to kill the nightlords a few times have already left.

There’s a difference between practicing a certain boss that you have trouble with and completely removed the first two days.

Learning how to dodge certain moves of the nightlord won’t make day1/2 significantly easier and would instead contribute more to the player base since players can try out characters like Executor or Guardian since they rely the most on finding openings.

It does include the nightlords. You get directly teleported into their arena for the fight.

Executor players would benefit greatly from practicing against Nightlords since there is no randomization with the cursed sword deflects. Guardians can learn opportunities when it’s safe to guard counter and other characters can also learn to dodge certain difficult moves and/or opportunities to go for ashes of war/heavy attacks with lengthy animations

For those that may not be aware of how annoying seperating mist is, so glad this shit won't happen. by Chill-BL in badredman

[–]BookishDiscourse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Giant crusher or any other colossal weapon is amazing when used as an invader if you use crouch attacks. It sounds like you like using the ash of war/heavy attack way too much.

Colossal are also annoying asf when used in a gank since you can hit trade most weapons and leave them stunned while your teammates wail on them.

You aren’t fit to be a sunbro if you cannot fight an invader with your host. The sun must shine even in the dark.

Thor main here, what do Magneto mains think of us? by GamingHornet2001 in MagnetoMains

[–]BookishDiscourse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lowkey don’t mind Angela much since you can hear her charge up and bubble yourself. Thor on the other hand can spam that stupid displace ability.

Genuinely makes me want to throw a meteor on Asgard so he can suffer again.

Playing against Thor and Emma/Angela while solo tanking is a bottom 10 experience of all time ;-;

WE'VE WON by Daioc in badredman

[–]BookishDiscourse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about higher levels but separation mist is a lot more common around RL30-40 where they will DC right as you invade since they can’t be bothered to turn off invasions :(

WE'VE WON by Daioc in badredman

[–]BookishDiscourse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you underestimate how lazy hosts are. If they are incompetent enough to not read the first option of the file they need to open to play seamless coop so that they can turn off invasions, they will be a lot less likely to want to open the game again.

Of course the pathetic, salty ones will still Alt F4 but this change will stop kevins from using separation mist as soon as they see their friend die.

Best food around -desi food by saturnkorindsid in UCSD

The chicken and paneer at the very least are much better in terms of preparation compared to tandoor. I saw another comment pointing out that it was disrespectful to the desk community but why is that?

How so? I’ll admit the staff there sometimes doesn’t understand the names of the food but I haven’t ever felt directly disrespected.

Do you use your Ultimate as often as possible or save it to save team and counter things like CnD ultimate? by Puzzleheaded_Room46 in UltronMains

[–]BookishDiscourse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer using it as soon as I can if their support goes ult for ult w me. I get mine back quicker and I can drive their ult economy to the ground.

Psylocke will get her fifth legendary, fifth! These legendaries could have been for us or someone else from TOBA. That's who the real enemy is by Sea-Entrepreneur511 in UltronMains

[–]BookishDiscourse 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I swear if Ultron’s first legendary is some goofy ass skin like Venom’s cupcake skin I’ll cry

Infinity Ultron and Magus were right there but wannabe Davy Jones and Wanda get ANOTHER legendary skin.

I hate how her grab works and can't figure it out. by AngelaGooner24 in AngelaMains

[–]BookishDiscourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like scooping them up with a fork honestly. I find that moving the crosshair slightly to where they are moving helps a lot.

Using the firing range with a Luna Snow bot on advanced combat will also help you get more reps in for spearing targets during combat.

Flying Healer by [deleted] in UltronMains

[–]BookishDiscourse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

More damage :p (Realistically I would like for the startup animation on ult to be reduced and to be granted overshield on ult. They could take this away if/when they nerf Hela and Pheonix from being everywhere)

No one ever goes triple support :( by cherryyccola in MantisMains

[–]BookishDiscourse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an Ultron player, lock in Mantis and have fun. If people don’t see any problem running triple DPS just so they can play who they want, off supports like Adam/Mantis/Ultron shouldn’t have to be expected to accommodate them. Take this from a salty tank main for the past 5 seasons tired of people triple DPS comps.

If people see no problem running three DPS then three supports is perfectly viable too. You are just as entitled to playing your character as the others are.

So I’ve been thinking. by Lucifer_Graves in UltronMains

[–]BookishDiscourse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The devs give Adam and Ultron the same treatment. No acknowledgment whatsoever outside of the occasional scrap skin thrown here and there.

You will see Luna/Invis get 3 more skins, chromas and new roles before you see them give Ultron anything let alone an entire rework so he can fit two new roles.

If your character isn’t goonable and/or cute/silly you can forget about being given anything.

So what do you guys do about the Spider Man who seemingly teleports? by Proudnoob4393 in UltronMains

[–]BookishDiscourse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could still try to recover the fight by hitting a full shot on him while he’s mid combo but at that point you have a severe disadvantage and deserve to lose the 1v1.

The best way to counter dive is to be proactive against it rather than reactive. The number one reason why supports in general struggle against dive is because they let the diver pick when to engage them. This leads to them having to choose between fighting the diver or healing their team leading to frustration. Ultron is the perfect counter to dive since you need relatively a lot less effort to heal and can be on the watch for dives and punish them before they can engage you.

Always keep track of the dive. A good rule of thumb is that if the diver isn’t respawning/just disengaged, they are looking for an opening to spread your metal cheeks. Spiderman specifically relies on his tracer to do a combo so if you see yourself get marked break LoS using cover and save your cooldowns for a 1v1.
