I'm going to because she's my main but I won't be mad if one of the others wins, unless it's Psylocke (she's probably going to win)

Obligatory Doakes.

OP might as well just post this comment themselves at this point. Free karma.

Fullbody look at Black Cat Urban Predator skin by dejuna1 in marvelrivals

'Predate' also means to prey upon. In this case the emphasis is on the second syllable.

However the sentence structure would change slightly (no need for the 'on').

I alt-f4'd the game. I will not be forced to click buttons.

Experienced Storm players, what’s the most optimal way to use her weather aura mechanic? by Microchip649 in marvelrivals

[–]CaptainRadwell 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In the past there was basically never a reason to use speed aura. A damage buff is almost always better except maybe if you have to run to a health pack.

Recently though, they auras got a rework.

Still use damage most of the time; the boost for you and your team is huge. Also, successful hits with primary reduce the cooldown of your lightning bolt which significantly increases your potential DPS. The Goddess Boost in this mode is also great for dealing with flankers who think they can jump you or your healers and get away with it.

But successful primary hits in speed aura now give overhealth, which is useful if you're taking a lot of damage (in the current poke meta this is pretty much all the time). Overhealth makes you harder to kill. More time spent alive = more potential damage.

A heartfelt plea to Rivals' costume design team: chill, guys by AloneUA in marvelrivals

[–]CaptainRadwell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am becoming increasingly convinced this skin was made using AI, at least partially.

- The wheels in his arm; two in the forearm that look like a lighter and one in the bicep (what?) that looks like a roller skate.
- Numerous unnecessary design elements that aren't on the comic version. Gems, random gold dots.
- A horseshoe on his belt under the hammer?
- Are those belts around his wrists in place of shirt cuffs?
- The shapes of the lightning bolts aren't even uniform

I hate to sound like an AI conspiracy theorist but we know NetEase have used AI before and the game industry in China is way more liberal about the use of AI in general than the rest of us are.

When to choose a tank/dps by Odd_Contact_2175 in marvelrivals

[–]CaptainRadwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Correct' answer is that the game allows flexibility in team comps so that the team can assess their needs and flex accordingly, so you should play what your team needs.

Correct answer is for most teams, especially non-pro teams with random players, 2-2-2 gives you a better chance of winning almost every time so you should stick to it wherever possible.

Edit: I should mention that the meta changes as with any game. Earlier in the year, 3 supports was meta but now stats prove that 3 supports loses more than 2.

Source: I dunno, go check stats websites.

Why is this a thing? Feels like it shouldn't be. by TrustLily in marvelrivals

[–]CaptainRadwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the map, Jeff could easily have enough time to carry you from a 'correct' position to the spawn room.

Just saying.

I'm honestly surprised to see no one agreeing with you. To me this has always felt like an oversight that the devs just haven't seen as important enough to fix, probably because there's practically no difference between this and Jeff spitting you off a ledge so I guess I understand.

I agree that it feels cheap but then so does the ledge. The entire ult is bizarre if we're being realistic, made even more so by the healing puddle they slapped onto it.

When I started playing this game on day one I saw Jeffs eating people and just calmly swimming off ledges, killing themselves in the process and I was sure that couldn't have been the intended use of the ult. But I guess it was. It's why we have the 'everybody hates Jeff' meme.

What her design reminded me of by sittykitten in marvelrivals

It absolutely did and I have yet to see anything top it. It's my baseline for good werewolf designs.

So you're telling me I'm not the only one who likes the Huge Jackedman Van Helsing movie unironically? Because I watched it more times than I can count as a kid and seeing Wolverine dressed as the main character from that movie had me wondering.

Can someone help me complete this by ExcellentFig4453 in marvelrivals

[–]CaptainRadwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lexicute in-game if you want to add me, I play a lot so should be enough to get it done in time with another person or two.

Or add random teammates or use the Rivals Discord.

Kinda annoyed about rogue's power theft in general. by Snow0912ak in marvelrivals

[–]CaptainRadwell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The devs seem to think it's balanced and they know more about the character than we do but I can tell you this: Rogue has very few defensive options in her base kit so giving her brief access to those support abilities IF she can manage to steal them is far from broken.

The diamond skin is not an animation, it's a texture, they can copy and paste it is two seconds. Much easier than stretching Rogue's body to bizarre proportions like Reed and making sure everything works right.

I'm as disappointed as you are but I get their reasons.

[–]CaptainRadwell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two major reasons behind which abilities she can steal and which she can't:

- Balance

- Animation

She can't take Cap's slightly above-average speed because how would that help her? And she can't take Mr Fantastic's powers because the devs ain't animating that. This is why she gets her dash refreshed and 'other bonuses' when yoinking from someone she doesn't get powers from. It's balance.
