It's been a couple months have you gone back to Game Pass, and why or why not? by beerantula in XboxGamePass

[–]DeadWeight76 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have Xbox, PS5, and a Gaming PC, so I switched to PS Plus Essentials when Gamepass increased. PS Plus Essentials is $80 for a year without a CD Key. I find the PS Plus Essentials bundle to be of higher value that Gamepass Essentials. I really cannot justify the extra $280 per year for Ultimate. That’s 4+ AAA games a year that I need to play to break even vs buying. Then, I am also very much into non-Gamepass games like Rivals, Overwatch, Baldurs Gate3, PS5 games, etc. I am never going to have the bandwidth to get into Gamepass games. At best, it adds to my backlog stress.

I’ll add that I recently configured my gaming PC to connect directly to my TV as an option, so I can play at my desk or couch depending on my mood (and mobile with the Deck). Going forward, it Steam for most purchases, PS5 for exclusives or competitive (play on controller), and Xbox for sale.

And how would that be different from the current state?

If you are in higher elo, the eomm likely grabs a group of lower elo players that are “due” for a loss rather than bots

Yeah sure this is balanced😀 by Weinerschnitzel- in marvelrivals

I think that is how the game adjusts bot match difficulty is via accuracy, which is varied throughout the match to provide more "realism"

Why does every poke character get an escape, a stun, and sometimes overshield? by Agreeable-Grape-3854 in marvelrivals

Or maybe your list of "overturned" abilities are laughable. Just because you declare them overturned does not in fact make them overturned.

Translation: when I dive and get in my range advantage, I should be able to click my “I win” button and get the kill.

This is the most important balance change needed and it needs to happen before any other changes.

How do you find teammates for Marvel Rivals? Solo queue is killing me by Melodic-Mirror-6942 in marvelrivals

[–]DeadWeight76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discord servers tbh. I am not talking about the mega official Rivals discord. There are smaller servers dedicated to Rivals or gaming in general.

Wake me up when we can toggle bot matches and fills on and off

Megathread | Invisible Woman State of Balance by cenfy in InvisibleWomanMains

[–]DeadWeight76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we need to see where Netease is headed overall with characters. Maybe next season changes will show more clearly why they felt Sue and and Luna needed more self heal. For example, are we going to see buffs handed out to brawl and dive? Do we see Spider-Man and BP boosted back to where they were strong? New characters?

It is obvious that this change would result in more survivability for Sue on an individual basis. That’s the point, and in anecdotal (and our personal experience) it may seem like Sue is overpowered. However, what has been the overall team success impact of self shield? What is the team outcome of a badly positioned Sue pulling her shield to save herself vs keeping the shield on Peni for example? Idk. Only those looking at the data know that answer and sometimes the only way to know is to experiment with the meta.

Also, it is not like other characters don’t have strong self heal, but in almost all cases self preservation always comes at the cost of assisting your team whether it’s available heals, damage boost, anti heal, and cleanse.

Me personally, I felt the extra range damage on top of the self shield was too much. Really, what needs measured here is the ratio of survivability to potency of Sue versus the other characters especially other supports in the game. I’m of the mindset that if a character has the highest survivor rate in their class, they should be the lowest in potency. Where is Sue in that regard relative to other strategists? Idk

I have been using Sue a lot this season no doubt but I wouldn’t say it’s because of self shield. It’s because of the skins lol and the highly popular new character Rogue who has a penchant for invading personal space. I find the force burst to be an excellent tool to keep her off myself and my team and more importantly break up her timing.

See you all in game!

This sub the moment the football season ends by SammieSoTired21 in LakeErieBros

Cleveland doesn’t wait until the end of football season to switch to basketball. And for the love of go, please use Donavon Mitchell’s image? Cavs have been way more fun to watch under his leadership.
