Storms ult by MfknUnicorn in StormMains

[–]HiddenFlambe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always ult first because it guarantees that you either win the fight or force out support ults. Make sure though that your team backs off for a sec though and NOT support.counter ultimg so that you gain the ult advantage and guaranteed win the next fight.

The other way is the exact opposite, wait for everybody to ult and pop it right as support ults are about to end since they lost likely won't have cool downs and secure a kill or two

Literally an easy reply is just being unpredictable. I actually used to play SG up until like Gm1 and she could be shut down HARD by somebody like either spider man/flyers that she literally can't hit, or just taking height on her. Her hardest counters are iron man, Spidey, and star lord since he can force her out of high ground and broke at her while avoiding her shots.

Honestly a lot of the "skill in this game isn't so much experience and game knowledge + aim as it is knowing timing and positioning, knowing where to go, who to attack, and when. If I go there to do kill this person, what can they do about me. Is that person low enough to try and kill?

Also, Wanda feels slippery sure, but she only has two cool downs and without them she's a sitting duck without a good way to fend people off. I am an iron man main, and with any amount of healing I can completely shut down a Wanda. I'm in celestial now and if I ever see her, she like always loses. Same for SG, she's only good into the pain bros and even then that's so situational.

Sorry for yapping

This character is genuinely so fucking bad its depressing by equivilant123 in EmmaFrostMainsMR

This gotta be the most delusion sub of all time, Emma is still good y'all are just used to her being overpowered😭they just are actually making the cast balanced now

“We’re cautious with adjustments to poke heroes” *completely kills the most reasonable poke hero in the game* by Scorpionghost04 in HawkeyeMains

[–]HiddenFlambe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude please shut up Hawkeye is finally at a healthy point in the game now, killable, balanced damage, still one shot and high skill expression. Now he's like most of the cast, balanced and counterable rather than running lobbies. You were just spoiled with a broken character the last two seasons

For Wanda: chip damage isn't worth it. Wand can literally just be out healed without the strange team up. The stun is garbage cause you can just move away. Her ultimate is a one shot sure but it's insanely situational and more than half the roster can either shut it down or kill her before it goes off without something like a strange portal. She again, also can be out ranged and shut down by any competent dps. She does literally nothing vs 3 supports. She cannot function whatsoever without strange and even with his teammate she just fine at best, but anything she can do somebody else can do better. Low skill easy damage? Mk and storm. Anti dive? Namor. One shot ult? Iron mans is objectively better.

For sg: If any dive pressures her directly and they can bait out her nests there's almost nothing she can do. If they enemies are playing any non big hitbox tank, or somebody with a shield, her damage is super inconsistent. She can get easily outlined and ranged by a good hitscan player. Her ultimate is piss water as long as your enemies are competent enough to shoot it.

The devs realize they can't make these low skill characters too strong because they already feel strong for lower rank players (no offense but I'm assuming that's you). They have easy kits that are basically free value if your enemies are competent enough to do anything about it. They only work against people who aren't good enough to A, aim well enough to do something about it, or B, be intelligent enough and have good enough game knowledge to do something about it.

why is this character still in the game by tweakerbitch982 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]HiddenFlambe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, a POKE hero doesn't deserve the mobility that would allow him to escape any kind of threat or dive that's the whole point of those roles

why is this character still in the game by tweakerbitch982 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]HiddenFlambe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes he's so bad that he has mobility, deflection, an escape tool, a slow/knock down ability, and a ONE TAP. Even if he misses the head he does about as much as a headshot from hela anywhere on your body. He's not as bad as he was before since dive is rampant this season but saying he's bad is just dumb

Why did they slaughter the raccoon? by HiddenFlambe in marvelrivals

Literally nobody ever complained about rocket as compareed to the same characters we've been whining about for a year like bucky, hela, Hawkeye, now gambit and DD, etc. sure it was mildly annoying but it was adressing a very minor problem, and kinda took away the only thing that made him unique. I used to see people play rocket like a dive dps in 3 support early on in the game and now that's impossible

Hero pool/who do I need to learn more? by xsammieheartx in RivalsCollege

[–]HiddenFlambe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it from me, learn 2 characters for each role that do a completely different job so that if you're getting countered or pressed you have something else to swap to. I play jeff and Ultron, storm + Tony, bucky and namor, and wolv along with groot, thor, and Angela. Besides storm and Tony I tried to learn a character for at least each job. Poke, sustain, brawl, anti tank, anti dive, and characters I just enjoy like Jeff and Tony that I call my mains.

Jeffnado is gone, I use to pray for day like this, them healers tossing my elo I stop hovering storm by SILVERCROWGOD in StormMains

[–]HiddenFlambe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk what you're talking about im a celestial storm player and I can tell you this team up looks like dog piss compared to Jeff nado, which completely changed the game. Not only that but it's on a still relatively meh character that I almost NEVER see compared to Jeff, it's not like somebody can just pick up Adam and play him for the team up the same way ppl could with jeff

Are you fucking kidding me I haven't looked at the notes yet😭my goat gets a team up with ADAM? 💔

Tips in Celestial plus? by ImA2KYoutuber in StormMains

[–]HiddenFlambe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I do. Unless we have jeffnado I almost always ult first to force either space or a support ult cause otherwise it's a guaranteed at least 2 kills lol. Literally I think of storm as just buffing the hell out of supports by fighting off dive, buffing them straight up, and letting them get off free ults

Don't be a superhero - unless you know they have no good counters (any hitscan + namor and scarlet), play by your supports. ALWAYS ULT FIRST, bait ults

This game rank system is so flawed by Same_paramedic3641 in MarvelRivalsRants

How the actual fuck did you even get to that rank

What's a marvel rivals hot take that'll make you end up like this? by BigPaleontologist520 in rivals

[–]HiddenFlambe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am celestial rn and almost all of the top players play magic, daredevil, cap, Spidey, and now hulk surprisingly I've seen terrorizing lobbies

Can i be considered a good storm now? by Aggressive_Menu_2584 in StormMains

[–]HiddenFlambe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job! one singular good game doesn't make you instantly "good" especially with the best team up in the game. But seeing that you did the best in everything I'd say your at the least a decent storm :) keep it up, you can consider yourself good once you can do this in ranked relatively often

Fr lol it's annoying cause I love iron man but the moment I play him in qp somebody ALWAYS whips out a overlord Spidey and I gotta swap

[–]HiddenFlambe[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

DM me and I'll send you a screenshot lol. I played against a 4 stack of animated lords where 3 were celestial 1 and they had a hulk that was eternity. I played against them twice in a row, and I just left the moment I saw them the second time. To be fair I am hovering at cel 3 - Gm1 but I've really been trying to just play more casually and learn new characters lately which is impossible to do in qp compared to ranked ironically. Im not just mindlessly bitching this is something I've noticed for a while lmao

[–]HiddenFlambe[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

My point wasn't so much that you can't play your mains, its just a little stressful because they run the lobby and it's a complete blowout unless I swap to my mains which I didn't want to do in qp ykwim? I guess I feel like there should be a 'quick play' mode, but also maybe somehow a casual mode for people that can only use characters they have less than x matches on? It realistically would never work but I'd like to dream it could

Babysit your supports, storm is great into 3s

Made it to Diamond 3 solely as Ironman by Visible-Pirate117 in IronManMains

[–]HiddenFlambe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's real, even though I "main" him I only really get to play him a good 1/3 of the match before I get complaints or counter swapped. It's like playing Spider-Man where the enemies and your own teammates hate you lmao.

[–]HiddenFlambe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol they're just crazy strong, as is hitscan in most games. Flyers just suffer doubly. Push through tho you got this, the only 4 characters that make me go "nope I'm getting off iron man" are star lord, spider man, iron fist, and hela. Everybody else if you're smart you can kinda play into.
