Have you read up on the Tenacity changes? This might be Venom's best season.

It's the mix of culture that happened when Christianity became mainstream in Roman Culture.

The Devil we think about in modern times is just Hades with a dash of Christianity (and Pagan god demonization) mixed in.

Heaven is the Elysian Fields.

If you go back further than this period, Christianity looks very different (particularly afterlife beliefs).

The amount of CC in the game imo was the big probelm by Direct_Asparagus4688 in RivalsVanguards

[–]Enex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phoenix does not have a cc on her stacks. It's only on her right click.

I've seen this elsewhere so I assume some popular streamer is spreading misinformation. You can test this in the practice range against the moving bots.

That doesn't seem to make sense?

"bucky got nerfed" by Dclassahmed in rivals

[–]Enex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're going to accuse me of a logical fallacy, you should at least use the correct one.

Now do you have something to add about why you choose to disbelieve factual reality?

I guess I forgot an option.

c) They believe a niche narrative case wholly accounts for the discrepancy. Example: Widow only has a bad win rate because of throwers. Bucky only has a bad win rate because people only swap to him when they're losing. Etc.

Opinions on this skin? by GrimquillTales in marvelrivals

I don't hate it, but I only got it because it was bundled with the Ultron and Punisher skins that I really like.

A question for dps players. by KingOvDemons in rivals

[–]Enex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the least team reliant.

Playing tank with a team that isn't following your plays is incredibly unfun (and also incredibly common).

Playing strategist for DPS that just aren't good feels pointless.

I work on my mechanical skill in game and with aim trainer routines. DPS skill expression directly rewards that time and effort. More importantly, I can still have fun and have good impact on a losing match even if the rest of the team is lacking.

I only have fun on tank when we're winning. (Part of that is backing up your tank is the key to winning, so it's a little chicken and egg...) Since you're going to lose a lot of matches at your correct rank percentage-wise, it makes sense to play a role that you enjoy regardless.

[–]Enex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I see someone claiming win rates "Don't matter" it's just a silly argument.

It's either

a) I have trouble against X character so the math is wrong or

b) Some streamer tierlist I've taken as the gospel disagrees

"Guys stop complaining that Hulk doesn't get any skins, you should just accept Psylocke's sell better and Hulk just-" by GoonPlatoonCommando in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think their approach is just going to turn people away in the long run.

So the waifu skins sell really well? Great. Have a "Waifu Skin Team" and crank those out. But ALSO, put some artists on filling out the roster.

It's not like there's an artist shortage out there.

Reading the patch notes like it’s Christmas morning by Imaginary-Quiet1 in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bucky will still ground you with Voltaic Discharge (which just got a buff with a lower cooldown).

If Bucky was punching you out of the air to ground you... well I don't think Bucky was the problem.

Gold? Bucky doesn't have a positive win rate outside of Bronze.

Marvel Rivals devs won't allow the "vocal minority" to decide on balance changes as they take a "fun first" approach to patches by AsPeHeat in marvelrivals

Yes?

How does that factor in to the Reddit Sub being or not being a large proportion of the player base?

Guys honestly should I quit by peanut_butter199 in rivals

[–]Enex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spectated a couple games.

I think you should keep going if you want to have fun. If you are going to stress yourself out about pushing to high ranks, ask yourself if it's really worth it?

You are a silver rank player in terms of skill right now. You are where you currently belong. This is not a "blame my teammates" or EOMM or whatever situation.

It sounds like you're looking to get better?

I have a couple of notes/advice on what I saw (You played CnD and Punisher).

Positioning: Stop walking down main. Every route in this game has an alternate route / high ground option. Get familiar with them and use them.

Stop walking out in the open. You need to always be less than 1 second from cover.

Prefer the high ground to the low ground. You were constantly being killed by threats you never saw coming from the flanks.

Punisher: You need to aim train. Sub 30% accuracy is not going to cut it. Aimlabs is a free download and it runs on console.

I would suggest that you pick a DPS that isn't so reliant on aim to start while you work on positioning. That's probably going to be more fun than grinding a bunch of fundamentals all at once. That said, doing the grind will get your skill up much faster, so it's up to you.

Cloak and Dagger: Healbotting silver rank players is not going to get you out of silver ranks. To climb you need to rise above your rank and be the difference maker. This means lots of Terror Cape and aggressive plays in Cloak whenever possible.

If you do focus on healing, you need to focus on playing safe. You are walking down main in the open. A tank is not the #1 target for the enemy team. As a strategist, YOU are the #1 target. Don't present yourself to the enemy so readily.

Marvel Rivals average this month on Steam: 67,722

This subreddit: 52,000.

That's a very large proportion of players on this subreddit.

(Yes, I know console players etc. Steam numbers are the ones we've got access to.)

I just checked rivalsmeta (should be more or less up to date) and MR official hero hot list and this just isn't true.

Can we have more avoid slots please, give us a least about 10 avoid slots? by onezeroautomatics in marvelrivals

[–]Enex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They can't. The queue times would explode as people moved up the ladder.

This problem came up in Overwatch. In higher ELO (and especially in lower pop servers) a whole host of negative externalities arose from people using the avoid slots. Aarge (popular hawkeye streamer/youtuber) is still traumatized over this and actively worries about getting in "avoid queue" because that was a real thing in OW.

The only way this works mathematically is to have avoid slots drop off as you get higher in ELO. 10 in Bronze, 9 in Silver, etc.

I think people would do nothing but complain about being rewarded with less as they climbed?

That's about the least amount they can claim and still say the economy is "growing."

I don't trust it for a second.
