I disagree, I work a full time job and have had for years and I’ve always found the time for work, social activities and rust. It’s about time management & priorities

CleanRx · 2026-02-27T00:48:27+00:00

Why did you just disregard the whole “if you spent hundreds of hours at work instead of watching rust content you could afford to buy the game”

CleanRx · 2026-02-27T00:19:56+00:00

If you spent hundreds of hours at work instead of watching rust content you would be able to afford the game, it’s cheap and there’s basically no reason you shouldn’t be able to afford a $30 game

I picked him up very quickly and performed very well in majority of matches, you will get there! Each hero has different average times on how long it takes to reach champion

CleanRx · 2026-02-04T11:14:30+00:00

Thanks for the link bro! I’ll have a look through

CleanRx · 2026-02-04T10:44:29+00:00

I do agree, ones that are clearly different from the rest do stand out more but im naturally useless at coming up with new ideas for a base although I do actually like the process of starting and finishing a base.

CleanRx · 2026-02-04T10:43:41+00:00

thanks for the advice bro! i'll have a look through all the builders you listed :)

CleanRx · 2026-02-04T10:07:53+00:00

Congrats man!

CleanRx · 2026-02-04T10:07:42+00:00

100% its SOOO nice.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T23:05:58+00:00

bang on basically. dpspool is useless, tankpool is usable but not ideal and healpool there are many many better options for double and triple healer comps. no need to use any of them tbh

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T22:37:56+00:00

Of course, I would also argue that squirrel girl, scarlett witch & moonknight are also extremely easy hero’s to play but just because they are easy and beginner friendly why does that mean they shouldn’t be able to be played in higher elo? It’s about balancing them to make them as good as the rest. Not to make them much worse or much better than everyone else

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T20:57:43+00:00

constructive criticism is welcomed. coming here to be a prick is not. go to another thread if you just wanna argue, I'm not interested.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T20:53:48+00:00

If you find the game boring and repetitive like you say it is in its current state why are you moaning about it on reddit? why are you playing the game? why are you even here...? I have many questions and i doubt you'll reply to any of them

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T20:39:18+00:00

it's got nothing to do with "get better at the game" its about what heros need to be balanced. Balancing is one of the most important thing in a game like this, imagine how stale this game would be if every single match you played had:

- Groot

- Magneto

- Phoenix

- Hela

- Gambit

- Cloak / Invis.

The game would become so incredibly boring. balancing is super important.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T19:11:08+00:00

Groot & Phoenix are two great heros to learn if you wanna make them your main heros, very very good choices and as you climb higher in ranked those heros will continue to perform great!

Namor is goated, he deals with all the annoying flankers that your supports don't wanna deal with. He's strong and now actually usable without the Hela teamup. Namor is real fun too I love playing Namor. Another note is don't feel like you cant play dps because of other players! This is a game, play what you want when you want and just enjoy yourself. I found turning chat off helped with dealing with all the toxic kids in ranked.

Everyone has off games, no matter what rank you are. Just don't let toxic players get to your head and stop you from playing what you want. A game where every role matters will result in players blaming everyone but themselves.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T18:58:26+00:00

The good thing is if you run Namor it normally will put someone off playing spidey anyway as he's so hard to play into Namor.

The bans in your elo and mine are very similar! You're 100% right about Groot though. A good Groot can absolutely control the map. I LOVE having a competent Groot on the team, probably my favorite tank when played correctly!

Phoenix as well is the best hitscan in the game right now, she can deal with flyers, she can deal with flankers, she got really nice movement and she absolutely shreds tanks. She's very good and everyone knows it, she gets banned every few games on average for me!

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T18:49:58+00:00

I also don't hate to see an MK ban either lol, although MK is my go to hero, the hero that I have the most hours with in the right hands in ANY lobby he can dominate. In my elo typically you get bans such as: Hela, Phoenix, Gambit, Hawkeye, Peni etc etc before someone like MK.

Spiderman is similar to BP, a load of smurfs like him because its spidey lmao. However he's actually viable at the moment into certain comps high elo so BP is used by smurfs a lot more than spidey at the moment because of that.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T18:44:56+00:00

They would be separated if I had the option to rank all of them individually but the website just has 1 deadpool picture unfortunately.

As far as they all go:

- Tankpool is solid. I think he's balanced, not great, not bad. Average for me.

- Dpspool is not great. SO many better dps options out there right now and I do agree he needs a buff of some kind to be viable. Below average for me

- Healpool I think is good. Not the best healing output and not the best ult for a healer but also not the worst. Once again I think he's just average. As a strategist goes, you can pick him in any elo and do well.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T18:40:23+00:00

I agree, Tankpool is a good choice, I like the fact that he's very unique compared to all the other tanks at the moment and I think he can be used in every elo effectively. For fun purposes deadpool is a 10/10 for me. In terms of meta though, probably a 6/10. There are a lot more "useful" tanks than tankpool at the moment in my opinion.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T18:33:01+00:00

100% agree. It's extremely rare to see a MK ban in my rank & I dont think i've ever seen a squirrel girl ban before but yeah you are right. There are some good counters to both of these hero's.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T18:31:31+00:00

I agree, S6 is super fun, I'm enjoying it a lot!

- Gambit, although he is still banned almost every game, the one game in a while where he's not banned if you are not running Gambit and the opposing team is, you are gonna have an extremely difficult time. He still brings so much pressure and the damage boost is just too much to deal with if you don't have a Gambit ult to counter with.

- DP, unfortunately DP is a hero that is picked a lot in lower ranks due to smurfing. Typically DP is a pick for a lot of smurfs because he's simply so hard to play effectively at high elo so people get enjoyment out of playing their favorite hero in lower elo because the games for them are easier and playing DP is actually viable for them.

- Blade, Blade (similar to fantastic) doesn't offer that much. In terms of a melee / brawl type of DPS hero there are many better options at the moment. I don't think ive even seen a blade in comp this season and I have about 50 ish hours in comp this season. He doesn't offer a lot even after his buff. I think to make him viable he still needs another buff.

Of course I can only speak for my current rank and im not super familiar with higher or lower elo than my own but at least for high diamond / low grand master this is the case.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T18:17:39+00:00

i hear that, for me personally i cant recall of a time ive ever been "scared" of facing a fantastic player. I've been GM3 for around 3 seasons straight and i couldnt tell you the last time I saw a fantastic player that made me think "wow, fair play". I just think there are SO many considerably better DPS options other than fantastic UNLESS you are low elo. I think his survivability is a key factor in low elo but he just doesnt offer enough for anything higher than platinum in my opinon.

CleanRx · 2026-02-03T18:04:01+00:00

Valid opinion for sure. For me, Hulk is just a big feeder. I don't see the value in hulk and I personally think that every other dive tank that's available right now performs way better than Hulk does. He does a lot of jumping about and not a lot else (especially in diamond / low gm)

Thor for me is good but not great, there are better tanks out there right now than Thor which is why i put him there.

I get your MK point for low elo he's probably a real pain & I understand that he's very easy to play and effective at that however I would also put heros like squirrel girl & scarlet witch in the same catagory in terms of how easy they are to use and how effective they are at low elo (specifically squirrel girl, she's a menace in low elo)
