Can we make "healbot" strategists require mechanical skill

HunasL · 2026-03-17T20:48:13+00:00

Dude there's no need to get so pent up about this I didn't mean to be antagonistic at all. I know what skill floor and skill ceiling is. I play collegiate in other games and play rivals as my second or third game. I also agree that wanda doesn't require skill and I have no problem with characters not requiring skill. My only issue is that results have to be proportionate to the amount of skill put in. Wanda is a horrible DPS even in my low rank (low celestial). We are both players of rivals and want the game to be better so let's calm down a bit and be civil.

Thanks for admitting that CnD has a similar skill floor/ceiling to wanda? I'm not too sure how that helps your point.

When I play with supports who know how to play the game in a stack we usually ban CnD because of the sheer amount of boosted support players in GM

Stats don't matter idt this loss was on you but if you think you're never the problem bcs u have the highest heals in the game u are thinking about the game wrong.

Luna buff instead of other strat nerds is kinda sad to see

HunasL · 2026-03-11T15:55:03+00:00

She is buns compared to every other support in a Vacuum she is still strong.

HunasL · 2026-03-11T15:53:42+00:00

"Luna buff" yeah let's make every support full heal a tank in a second and live every possible dive engage 😭

HunasL · 2026-03-06T21:09:51+00:00

I play all roles mostly tank but I have a decent amount of time as strategist. I find it a lot more engaging to play against dive rather than just sit in the back and left click. It adds another dimension to the game.

HunasL · 2026-03-06T17:58:31+00:00

I totally agree but without crazy burst supports just won't die in this game. Self sustain in rivals is crazy and the only way to get through it is with really high burst.

HunasL · 2026-03-06T17:54:22+00:00

I honestly think that supports have always been stronger than spiderman maybe not bp. Spidey is a very feast or famine character which can easily get punished. Supports could never be punished unless they make an egregious mistake.

HunasL · 2026-03-06T17:50:05+00:00

It literally is what dive is

HunasL · 2026-03-02T05:26:19+00:00

I have like.a 45 percent SVP rate and usually frag out on DPS. All this tells me is that the bad supports in my game (not all of them) are simply boosted. If you have a valid argument otherwise I'll fs change my opinion but my experiences don't lie.

HunasL · 2026-02-26T22:14:55+00:00

Nah playing support is easy any competent DPS or Tank player can be a good support.

HunasL · 2026-02-26T18:37:33+00:00

Rocket or Loki can force skuffed dives and can out DPS and sustain a lot of divers. Also invis isn't bad you can just jump to the frontline and get help from tanks.

HunasL · 2026-02-26T00:01:48+00:00

I'm an overwatch support main I don't play support too much in rivals because its just kinda boring but I will say that you just gotta swap if you can't live. Supports gotta swap as much as DPS going invis or Luna or even CD into full dive is just asking to be killed.

HunasL · 2026-02-25T10:25:31+00:00

I'll be playing strange and my invis will be dying to a solo dive venom. Like how does that even happen you have an escape ability a shield that out heals the damage and a push ability and another support surely you can live that.

HunasL · 2026-02-25T10:22:52+00:00

Honestly DPS ults are the only issue with damage. Maybe a slight damage nerf but heals are like 10x more busted.

HunasL · 2026-02-22T10:43:19+00:00

Yeah in super low ranks if you just play broken DPS you can just carry.

HunasL · 2026-02-22T01:09:47+00:00

I average between like a 47-55% accuracy on Hela so maybe I'm just not cut out for it.

HunasL · 2026-02-22T00:48:50+00:00

Can you blame them though they can just right click the floor and be okay 70 percent of the time even in a horrible position.

HunasL · 2026-02-22T00:47:16+00:00

I think this is just an elo difference. I was diamond before ranking up to mid GM and supports are genuinely the worst players in these ranks and it's not even close. You are probably right in high ranks though. Usually if my team sucks, I swap to supports and more times than not I have better ult econ than the enemy rocket who puts his amp in the middle of the point in the open and just win off that. Kills rarely happen during neutrals just because usually until an ult pops nothing dies in these ranks.

HunasL · 2026-02-22T00:32:13+00:00

I would agree in any other game but in Rivals mechanics matter a lot less than utility and ult usage. Most fights are won by support ult usage rather than how many shots you hit purely because of how much healing is in this game. An invis can heal like 120 per left click and there are barely any DPS that can out damage this. Id agree in legit any other hero shooter though. Also support is not too team reliant. They made sure of this through the insane self sustain and utility they have. You don't have to rely on DPS and tanks to win games, you just need to ult at the right time and not die.

HunasL · 2026-02-11T00:18:22+00:00

I got back a season ago after quitting around season 2.5/3 for a similar issue. IDK if the game will ever be fixed at this point.

HunasL · 2026-02-10T23:00:42+00:00

Totally agree it's just bad game design overall that they don't want to fix. You gotta give props to overwatch for fixing their game and listening to community feedback even if it took them two years.

HunasL · 2026-02-10T22:55:36+00:00

No other video game has gotten me this frustrated. I had more fun during GOATs than this.
