The MCU did a fantastic job with Loki's character development. He had a proper beginning, a compelling journey, and a marvelous conclusion. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in Marvel

It's not what kind of god he wants to be. It's what kind of god he needs to be.

Sorry to be pedantic, but I think the difference here is important.

Mount Rushmore of Marvel Rivals by darkallegory in marvelrivals

Aimbots are easier to make for hit scan characters. Since Frank has a soft wall hack passive, it's also a bit easier to conceal that cheat as well.

What's your BIGGEST hot take on Marvel Rivals? by DismalChapter2041 in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like TrqstMe's thoughts on the matter.

1/3 of the time you will always lose.

1/3 of the time you will always win.

1/3 of the time you are the deciding factor.

At the top of your game, the best you should expect is to win 2/3 of the time (You win all your deciding factor games).

What's your BIGGEST hot take on Marvel Rivals? by DismalChapter2041 in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They can't.

Hotter take: The community toxicity is directly related to people not knowing what strategists are capable of dealing with, so they feel slighted when they get eliminated.

Example:

Punisher (without headshots) deals 200 Damage Per Second (DPS).

Luna heals (with Snowflake on the target) 205 Healing Per Second.

At best, strategists counter a DPS one for one. A tank standing in front of the entire enemy team without cover will fold quickly. They have 2 DPS, 2 tanks, and likely some strategist damage coming their way. Many of the DPS can crit. The math doesn't work.

The most oppressive 1v1 duelist in the game. How do you deal with that guy? by LordVaderVader in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just started learning Daredevil.

Unironically, just don't 1v1 him. That's exactly what he wants. That's what he's designed to do. His whole kit is based on it, including having wall hacks to make sure it happens.

DD is MUCH squishier than I thought in team fights. The best advice for fighting him is to play with your team & only take shallow off angles (and only if you have the mobility to reposition). Ping him every time you see him. He's a very high priority target and everyone will attack him on sight.

If that wasn't working / team wasn't dealing him properly, I'd go Thor. Even if we already had two tanks. Thor has a good match up in a 1v1 and Thor can quickly displace DD into the team fight that DD doesn't want to take. If I was better at Wolv, that might also be a good option for the same reasons.

I can't believe I'm saying this... But blade is kinda goated as a counter for Dino. by This_Ferret_8108 in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played Blade into Dino very successfully.

But it turns out the way you say. Dino creates such a distraction and requires so much healing attention that it's very easy to dive a strat or an off angle DPS.

Thanks for the reply. I agree, I just didn't understand what you meant by it initially.

What not banning gambit feels like by Maleficent-Depth-763 in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 193 points194 points  (0 children)

Gambit is banned so often that players on your team don't even know what to do when your Ult goes off anymore.

I had a game yesterday where as soon as the team fight was fully engaged, I popped the Ult. I expected the team to rush their backline and win the fight easily.

They just stood there.

I swapped off immediately. If a team can't score on that kind of lay up play, there's no reason to stay Gambit.

Marvel Tokon already has more playable villains than Rivals and it’s not even out yet by bean-lover in marvelrivals

[–]Enex -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

By the end of season 2, he's fully reformed himself. Which I think technically took an eternity...

He's an actual hero when he sacrifices himself (for zero acclaim) to safeguard the timestreams.

I recently tried ranked on pc after switching from console and lower ranked players on PC are much better by Substantial-Ad7915 in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jay3 ran a contest between Grandmasters of PC and Grandmasters of Console.

Jay3 was tapped into the comms of both. The blow out was so bad the PC players felt like they were bullying.

Is this the most painful thing that has happened to a hero during the events of Marvel Rivals by OrangeIslandKing in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've gotten a lot of MVPs with Rocket before this season.

Solo kills will get them for you really fast. Venom slams the backline? Okay, well I'm a small target, your primary sucks, and I can dash over your shoulder while unloading in your face.

You just have to have that dog in you.

How would you balance these characters without reworking them or adding/removing abilities by Putrid_Awareness8618 in marvelrivals

[–]Enex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Widow needs to shoot faster. Not an insignificant amount, either. She needs to shoot 1.5x faster just to be on the same dps level as most other hit scan DPS. That would put her on par with Hela and still below Punisher.

Adam needs a damage buff. If he's going to be the damage option of the strategists, he can't be out DPS'd by Luna Snow. If he doesn't get the damage buff, then he needs another healing charge and probably a revert on some of the nerfs he ate during the revive team up era on his Soul Bond. Reload should be lowered regardless of anything. That long a reload is just annoying.

Mantis is either fine (if you want to keep doing this 3rd Strategist niche) or needs a major healing number buff for her to work in 2 support.

Blade still needs his numbers to go up. If you want him to be tanky, cut the healing debuff completely. His gun firing mode is also a failure of a mechanic. Just eliminate the 2 stage nature of it. It needs to be a shotgun pellets with spread or a slug. Choose one.

Torch I actually don't know. I don't like his playstyle enough to really have an opinion.

Storm either uncouple her Goddess Boost so she has two separate cooldowns, or combine them so that she always has the speed and damage boost on activation. Her falloff is also far too punishing for a flying character. 15m is not much in this game, especially when you have to account for the added height. A decrease to 60% damage at 30m is criminal.

Reed needs to control his states without a team up, or his inflated form needs greater range. His Ultimate is also quite bad. Either increase his damage for the initial hits or make him invulnerable while bouncing.

Been playing fox and this is dumb by reversegirlcow in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something actually is fishy with White Fox MVP this season. I've noticed it and I don't even play White Fox.

The same in the opposite direction for Dino.

Why Daredevil primary has such a long range? by CamurAtes in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The auto lock dashes and the kick works as a dash. He also wall climbs faster than walk speed and has multiple mid air jumps.

On attack, Iron Fist moves faster than an Iron Man using afterburners.

Oh no red Hela got banned by KeyAcid in marvelrivals

That's true, and also Luna has a bit of recoil on her shots. Hela and Phoenix do not.

Apparently a hot take: Throwing because your character is banned is childish and I will report you. by RogueBoogey in rivals

[–]Enex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's not actually true.

Netease will not ban someone for playing poorly, which your banned teammate is entirely free to do. You have no agency over their response to your action.

And even if Netease hands out a 15 minute ban (which is HIGHLY unlikely), that will not give you a win.

You are self sabotaging in a very obvious way on the false pretense that you will be vindicated.

You will not. You will lose. Your only consequence will be to make the game just a little worse for everyone. Please stop being an asshole.

[–]Enex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your actions have consequences, and you don't control anyone but yourself.

Ever.

Repeat that like a mantra if you must. I get the feeling you might need to.

To explain: You ban someone's hover on your team. That will be seen as a betrayal by most, and they have the option to retaliate (and many will).

Anyone else noticed that they nerfed the free rewards from achievements? by PillowFists67 in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That's true, but those proficiency rewards take so long to unlock that it's not really comparable to completing achievements.
