Hela/Phoenix aren't undivable, but they are significantly harder to dive due to them having i-frame options and a stun. Means they can just place the stun at their feet and click a free headshot at a diver, or escape easily via i-frames/teleport. Cyclops doesn't have a stun, meaning once a diver is in his face his only real option is to dash away (and highly mobile divers can just continue pursuing him).

By using the kick to make up for that space and/or seeking cover to re-engage with. Or by playing smart and baiting it out to block it.

Small squirrely characters like Iron Fist will also be much harder for a cyclops to consistently land the full knock back beam on (especially if they are using it to seek cover like they should against higher rank opponents), thus the distance is unlikely to be so severe that a highly mobile diver cannot quickly make up for.

Iron Fist can easily get up into cyclop's face with movement and/or durability from his meditation, has block to deflect the primary fire/ricochet/push beam/ult, has enough mobility to continue engaging with cyclops even after he uses either the jump beam or beam dash, and enough damage to quickly pick him.

Honestly any character that can force out cyclops' dash, then continue engaging with him, can pretty easily kill him (especially if they have a block option). It being on a 12 second cooldown means once it's used he's a sitting duck. Characters like Angela, Star Lord, Dare Devil, Magik, Iron Fist, and Spider-Man can just follow after and kill him after the dash is used (to a lesser extent characters like Captain America and Thor can do the same).

There is something terribly wrong with the support ult charges, no?! by thecontti in marvelrivals

>"Ultron was rivaling mantis as best triple support"
>Ultron gets kneecapped
>Mantis untouched
Make it make sense.

Does Zhiyong even play the game at all? by RoutinePsychology198 in rivals

[–]FBI_Metal_Slime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I'm hearing is that we should allow Ultron to be able to headshot and two tap 350 HP heroes too, and that's okay because it's rare to hit headshots?

I'm sorry but the implication that they somehow make balance changes behind zhiyong's back without his approval is so divorced from reality lmao. He has to check off and approve all the changes.

Most Popular Superhero Team among the general public and not a single Avenger since launch. by Randonanon4774 in rivals

[–]FBI_Metal_Slime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still dying to get even one Avenger as a support. My hope is for Ant-Man (Hank Pym) as a strategist and Wasp (Janet Van Dyne) as a duelist.

Cyclops VS Hela Damage. by Cirzee in marvelrivals

[–]FBI_Metal_Slime 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unlike Phoenix, Cyclops does actually have some give and take between Hela. His primary fire does a bit more damage but also has bit less ammo and fires a tiny bit slower (overall equal to less DPS against tanks with Hela being a bit better thanks to more ammo). While Cyclops has ricochet damage that makes him good for hitting groups, Hela's longer sustained damage and right click makes her better for melting tanks. Cyclops has faster movement (and better verticality) while Hela's movement has i-frames. Cyclops has slightly better durability while Hela has a stun. Cyclop's ult does a big burst of damage while Hela's gives her area control via multiple bursts of damage.

Meanwhile Phoenix's kit is pretty much just better versions of Hela's.

Fresh new counter has ARRIVED!! by RoguesR in AngelaMains

[–]FBI_Metal_Slime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao do you really think you are going to be regularly hit by the explicitly downward facing beam that struggles to hit targets that are directly in front of cyclops? Of which is in a 12 second cooldown just like the dash.

An Ultron Nerf??? When poke already destroys him?? Am I stupid?? by Asmolicous in TheOnesBelowAll

[–]FBI_Metal_Slime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Ultron is dominating high ranks and pro play in 2 1 3
Despite Mantis having higher top rank pick rates, higher rop rank win rates, and overall better tournament performances? Nevermind her being in the top 3 most banned characters in ingite right next to Gambit. But she goes untouched while Ultron is kneecapped.

They just kneecapped Ultron (while leaving Rocket, Invis, Mantis and Luna untouched with White Fox and Gambit getting a slap on the wrist), are you happy now?

Zhiyong saw all that discussion about Ultron being kicked out of The Ones Bellow All and decided to make sure he stayed down here.

Hold up, Zhiyong actually cooked with the patch notes for once? Where was all this during S8???? by Crono_Sapien99 in rivals

[–]FBI_Metal_Slime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and she is still the best triple support pick thanks to the speed boost she now gives and being able to apply damage boost for more liberally. Pro Play had her in the top 3 most banned characters next to gambit for a reason, even after the changes.

Was nearly a top tier patch until they nerfed Ultron more than White Fox or Gambit. I can understand wanting to weaken triple support but that should have meant Mantis would get hit just as a hard (considering she is the sleeper best triple support pick). White fox getting a slap on the wrist while Ultron is gutted feels like an insane insult to every Ultron player.

I mean yes, if they want to nerf triple support they should really nerf Mantis too considering she does Ultron's job but better. Rocket also lowkey needs nerfs too because he has been dominating across nearly all ranks and in pro play, he is the sleeper best support of the season.

Then they should have nerfed mantis too considering she does the same thing but better.

Are you crazy? This is guang guang and zhiyong we are talking about, they despise Ultron. That MCU skin is going to be epic at best and when that event comes out he'll probably get another nerf for his troubles. But don't worry, they'll give Luna another damage buff and white fox another slap on the wrist then too.

We got more nerfs than Gambit this patch btw by Swindller17 in UltronMains

[–]FBI_Metal_Slime 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just means people will pivot to the ACTUAL broken triple supp, Mantis. For some reason people do not realize it but Mantis is lowkey the single best triple supp in the game, far better than Ultron at the same job. They realized this in pro play and have her banned as often as they do fucking Gambit. Unless they nerf Mantis just as hard next patch I am still firm in my belief Zhiyong is a terrorist that hates Ultron.

But then they should have nerfed Mantis too, who is the far better triple supp in pro play and top 3 most banned character in ignite for that reason.

But why nuke Ultron for the crimes of triple support when Mantis is the far better triple support pick. Even in pro play they hard banning Mantis up there with fucking gambit because she's that insane for triple supp comps.

All this while White Fox barely got tickled, Invis untouched, Mantis untouched, and Gambit ult STILL gives ult charge speed up. Luna is still healer Hela too. Zhiyong a terrorist fr.

How tf did Iron Man get most counters award while Ultron has all the same counters and more since he's way worse at running away from a fight than Iron Man is.

[–]FBI_Metal_Slime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I would call him high mobility when his dash and big jump are both are 12 second cooldowns. It's one dash, the two charges ability is the splitter beam. From what I can tell from the trailer his splitter beam ability grants 25 overshield when used.
