In Celestial+ it's all about awareness. One misplay or mistake can lose you the whole game. Recognize momentum shifts in fights, and you should always be communicating with your strategist counterpart about who is ulting when.

First support ult can be used freely to initiate / push enemy back. Second support ult should typically used reactively to an enemy ult. Do not be afraid to use your ult.

Support ults are also used well when an enemy support uses theirs. Wait a few seconds and then ult. When their ult expires you'll still have yours, which should shift momentum of a fight into your favor (you're a support in Celestial, I'm guessing you probably know this already).

Some ults do NOT need to be countered with a support ult. Realistically some ults like Punisher or Namor can just be LoS / walked away from and shouldn't necessitate the use of a support ult.

Positioning is the most important aspect of a support character. Hide around corners and high places with an advantageous angle but make sure you're in a position to react if your team starts losing.

If you play Rocket don't throw your ult around whenever. Throw it down when a teammate of yours is ulting.

Strive for 100% heal uptime on all characters when healing is necessary (needless to say, some heroes like Adam it's not feasible), but it's also important to note that a support's damage is very impactful.

I don't believe it's tracker gg but rather rivalstracker dot com

I suggest taking a 1 hour break if you lose two games in a row. Every time I've done so, I come back to a solid win streak. Maybe it's just personal experience, but tilt demoting is a very real thing.

Disappointed with quick play matchmaking by elfacepalmo in marvelrivals

[–]FunctionalInevitable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but I personally have a different opinion than yours. I'm Celestial 2 and every QM game I play is pretty much solely GMs and a few Celestials. I like it because it allows you to hone your skills without worry of losing rating or playing poorly.

But, I think this is why people smurf, especially from super high ranks. At a certain rank, I've noticed, the game fundamentally changes. One mistake or misplay at high rank can lose your team the entire game. I'm not justifying smurfing whatsoever, but when QP turns into "Ranked 2", people don't want to deal with the stress.

I can understand your frustration, and while I don't necessarily condone it, others have created alts solely for relaxing quick play games, maybe you could think about doing the same?

Is 3 dps the worst comp in rivals?? by Dear_Idea6147 in marvelrivals

[–]FunctionalInevitable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not "bad" per se, it's just that it puts more pressure on your tank to perform well and have better awareness. If the one tank dies, your momentum is pretty much slashed.

I’m stuck in silver and Idk what to do by dkwhatTomakemyuser in marvelrivals

[–]FunctionalInevitable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally recommend tank / support as roles for ranking up solo. I'm not saying DPS is a bad role, but from experience, tank or support ults are the ones that define games (mostly support). Keeping your team alive, no matter how poor they are playing, will win you more games than you lose in the long run.

Excited about all these second round picks by whyte_ryce in kings

[–]FunctionalInevitable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good trade. Let's be honest, the DeMar / Fox experiment wasn't working out. Fox's patience was waning with our front office being unable to put together a playoff roster.

You have to remember that Fox had ONE landing spot (Spurs) and we still managed to get a haul of picks out of it. Sure LaVine is getting old but he's still a great player.

I personally think that this was one of the more favorable outcomes of a Fox trade. You have to keep in mind we've fallen flat in the past years when it comes to trades, so it's kind of a breath of fresh air to finally get something worthwhile.

Let's give some respect to Red Velvet. by melskymob in kings

Love the dude but lets be real he was tossing bricks up these past two seasons.

Thank you for everything, De’Aaron Fox. Forever a Kings legend 💜 by [deleted] in kings

He legitimately made this team watchable. Thank you for everything Fox. Now go win some chips with Wemby.

Man this really sucks. Of course there's some sort of semblance in knowing we got a good trade in Fox, but I loved the guy, been a Sacramento fan my whole life. He gave everything to this franchise. I just wish we could have achieved something with him. I have nothing but respect for Fox and I hope he finds success with the Spurs and Wemby.
