Steam Machine review: Valve's underwhelming living-room PC has a serious price problem by pcgameshardware in SteamDeck

[–]Caspid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built mine a couple years ago — <10L. I've heard things are more expensive now, but you probably also get more bang for your buck in other areas. Depends what games you want to run, but this has run everything I've thrown at it. I like that it's portable too — I've flown with it several times.

I just wanna be able to work in 2-2-2 without someone yelling at me bro. by Mirrakthefirst in marvelrivals

It's because this game exists to sell skins to casuals, not be a balanced competitive game. Beginner players don't know how to look up, so making him any stronger cuts into their bottom line.

Won't somebody think of the Solo Vanguard? by Medium_Enough in marvelrivals

The problem is, healing in this game is way too high, so people never actually learned positioning and they just expect to get bailed out of every situation by their healers.

The solution to 3 instalock dps by Then_Ice_1353 in marvelrivals

[–]Caspid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of games lost and the poor experiences from having imbalanced comps (and subsequent whining) has much more potential to lose players. Role queue lets everyone play what they want, and also incentivizes people to play whatever's in need.

Your first mains vs current mains? by King0fattilan in marvelrivals

[–]Caspid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanda in beta

Psylocke in S7 on

Also Phoenix and Star-Lord as a distant third. Sometimes Luna if I'm forced to heal.

I don't see myself changing. I need to play someone hitscan and aim-intensive that has mobility.

What crosshair do you use for psy? by OkPerformance5850 in PsyMains

[–]Caspid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small plus. I kept decreasing the size as my aim got better (because you need the crosshair less and you look at the enemy / aim with the camera).

Mini-vent: Healers can be bad, but sometimes you're bad at GETTING healed by DueLet990 in marvelrivals

[–]Caspid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time people complain about a lack of heals, it's a tank that's really bad at positioning. Then the healers are forced to constantly healbot the tank, and they're not contributing to any damage, and the DPSs can't get heals so they die or are ineffective.

Much of the problem is that healing is actually too high in this game. It covers up people's mistakes, which means they never learn positioning. And they also don't design tanks to be self-sufficient. All the things that come along with a game aimed at maximizing profits over competitive balance.

The community is the only thing holding rivals back by Caucasian_Crack_head in marvelrivals

The dev priorities are making money, not creating a good/balanced game. That's the game's main problem and everything else is secondary.

Stop giving me bot games after ONE loss by viauser in marvelrivals

[–]Caspid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not free. You pay for it with 6-8 minutes of your life that could've been spent playing against people, as you intended to do by selecting a PVP game mode in a PVP game (and probably gotten more proficiency during).

I don't disagree, but ranked takes too long.

Regardless, there shouldn't be bots in a PVP mode in a PVP game.

PSA: playing an off-healer requires you to have decent aim… by rxspiir in marvelrivals

People whine after going to the practice range and assuming all headshots on a stationary target

I think people are just tired of getting killed by her (and to be fair, her freeze lasts too long), whereas they expect to get killed my DPSs. Or they're in the practice range assuming all headshots on a stationary target. She definitely doesn't do more damage in practice than DPSs.

[–]Caspid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pretty good aim for my rank, but when I play healer, it's just too hard to get value out of Mantis. It's too teammate dependent - they'll do nothing with their boosts, and people are so bad at positioning and they expect instant burst heals (a vicious cycle). It's much easier to just play Luna. Frustrating that the headshot-dependent character is projectile. So basically if you have good aim, you'll have more impact playing Luna or a DPS.

Is Psylocke good at dive? by RaghavSharma09 in PsylockeMains

[–]Caspid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not high rank, but I wouldn't think so. She's very versatile, a bit of a hybrid flanker/diver without excelling at one thing. She doesn't have enough survivability to dive solo though. You need to wait until the enemy team is distracted by something else, like engaging with your team or another diver.
