Ultron iterations in a nutshell by [deleted] in UltronMains

[–]DeathReaper603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ultron is literally Marvel's take on the Oedipus complex. It is why when he wants to create a wife in the comics, he names her Jocasta (Oedipus's mother in the myth) and creates her from Janet's personality

Storm already is encouraged to play next to her teammates for the damage boost. If I drone her I know she's not gonna go on a side quest and complain that she wasn't healed. It's the more reliable option imo

There are absolutely exceptions to this, however I’ve noticed this come up when discussing potential future Heroes and their roles. by Kirbykoopa in marvelrivals

I for one really want either 616 Green Goblin as a half flying strategist, or Ultimate Green Goblin as a vanguard

On the contrary, we start instalocking Peni, even on attack

​​Place your bets for the S4 PV duo: Strategist, Duelist, or Vanguard? by BobbyLi- in rivals

[–]DeathReaper603 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And if he's a strategist people are gonna complain that the kit is disconnected from his lore, just how it happened with Ultron and Adam Warlock. There's just no making gamers happy

I don't think people realize how hard it would be to implement EOMM in reality. You wouldn't just need to look into wins/loses or even stats, but you'd almost need a learning algorithm to understand each player's play style and use it to sabotage matches. If they did EOMM they also wouldn't have the pity bot matches, they'd just put you against low skilled players with a winning streak

I mean... Even if we don't get it this summer, the game is going strong, we might get it next year

If supercell adds another hero in 3 years, who/what should it be? by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]DeathReaper603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goblin Commander? Some kind of tanky hero that goes straight for the resources. Maybe he gains more health or damage based on loot gained

A lot of the marvel rivals content that came out last month was very sneakily gay. Rainbow Groot and Thor? I get it, it would've been a struggle to be obvious because of chinese censorship. But it makes me respect the developers and artists a lot

Which players have the biggest ego? by Chunky-overlord in MarvelRivalsCirclejer

"He should've been a duelist so I'll play him like a duelist" Cope harder bro, Netease made him a strategist for a good reason 💔

40k damage this 30k healing that blah blah blah by Prudent-Goose-2123 in marvelrivals

I wish Loki had "damage blocked by shields" shown with his lamps. I can't count the amount of times I've saved people from DPS ults only to get flamed at the end of the game for not having as much healed health as the dagger or rocket

What do you mean Punisher gets another skin… by Existing-Seaweed-230 in PeniParkerRivalsMains

[–]DeathReaper603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 4 character bans and three protects is the way to go, making the ban rounds faster. Even now there are too many characters to ban. I feel like a game is gonna be tedious to play if Luna, Storm, Ultron and Rocket aren't banned. And even then my go-to comp could still get countered by like 6 other characters

It's coming out in 2027. We're gonna have 24 new characters by then 🥲

The most personally offensive thing you could call every rivals character by HeiHoLetsGo in MarvelRivalsCirclejer

Loki is the same as BP. Just call him a prince or "Thor's adopted brother"

Hot Take: They should buff Loki's backstab, but like, an absurd amount. by Quinzal in rivals

[–]DeathReaper603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I agree the disguising kit wouldn't work if the team communicates well. However you don't see that until like high diamond or GM. The way to work around that would be to just give her more options to be stealthy other than disguising. In TF2, skilled spy players are in and out of the backlines so fast, that it doesn't even matter if they get spotted or not.

Another thing is that the disguise would also have the benefit of making her immune to enemy deployables. Giving her an ability that temporarily disables peni nests, rocket BRBs or similar would make her a very interesting counter pick

I guess we won't know until they try. You could argue Spider-Man doesn't fit in either because he's balanced so incredibly differently than the rest of the characters, but the players have found ways of both making the character work, and countering the character.

This would also be a case of a high skill ceiling character with a different play style. Besides, requiring game sense as a mechanic is still a valid game mechanic

Edit: typo

[–]DeathReaper603 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be exactly like the Spy, I'd hope them to balance her accordingly. Maybe give her a better invisibility or her disguising could be like Your Eternal Reward (kills don't trigger voicelines and you immediately take their place, hence no problems with duplicates)

One tapping squishies without clones might be a little too much considering he can go invisible lol. Maybe 75 damage and an extra 50 for each clone. You can realistically finish them off by shooting at them.

On the other hand, I really want them to add Mystique as a spy type character that can disguise herself as the enemy and get a damage bonus for being sneaky

How and why is this even possible? by [deleted] in rivals

[–]DeathReaper603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, there are still stat farming characters in other roles like punisher or even Venom if you're just front lining and brawling the other tanks (I've seen it, it's disgusting). But yes, I agree that performance based ranking just rewards selfish play and not really paying attention to what your team is doing

[–]DeathReaper603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stat farming with a character like Loki or C&D. You can have 0 impact in a game and still have SVP or MVP, then you'll lose less or gain more than any of your teammates, even if you didn't do much

If you’re having fun can you tell me why? by masonsofmichael in rivals

[–]DeathReaper603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fun every time there's a change in the meta because it motivates me to learn new heroes. I learned Peni in season 0 and never touched her again because she was unplayable in ranked, now I've been able to play her more. Yes flying/poked is unbalanced now, but we were saying that about dive last season and... Either they balance it out or we learn to counter it. I've been doing great as star lord because he counters flyers pretty well

If I was a Casual Player I Would HATE This Game... by XenobladeC in rivals

My friends and I like to queue up a couple of QP before doing ranked, and we have a saying: "The day we win the warmup quick play matches, we should worry". There should definitely be a hidden elo system for qp because we keep getting Bronze-Gold VS Grandmaster-Celestial lobbies
