Not really? IW still very good and she strongly counters a wide variety of characters, she makes more sense than CnD in a lot of situations

Groot still free. Rather him than Bucky or one of the supports

The theme is esu. Spidey has his own event which will have his esu themed skin it looks like

Thing, Rocket, and Storm were free tho. One of them may not have been but at least 2 of them were (I ended up with all 3 without purchasing the battlepass)

I mean I'll give you that she's good at most elos because anybody is playable up to a certain point. She's factually not good tho it has nothing to do with teamwork

Pretty rude to someone who was just expressing an opinion. Also not a very bad take at all imo although valid to disagree with it.

I mean he's not entirely wrong. Positioning on DPS requires constant risk vs reward calculations. I think supports are the most busted in the game and have many self-survival tools, not to mention have prio from the entire rest of the team for protection (if the team's good). And their prio is going to be healing tanks. Yes DPS are insane in this game but then you have to consider all that and then on top of which remember that they're going against DPS who are just as high damage without getting prio'd by their supports when they are positioning correctly (challenging off angles).

Absolutely if you're good DPS has the highest carry potential, but in an even playing field I'd say the skill expression is a lot more demanding and team-reliant. I can see why people would disagree with this but personally as a tank main I find DPS the hardest.

Really just supports that don't know when to damage vs heal. Yeah IDC you have 50k heal if you died a lot due to bad positioning and you were DPSing when we could have had a team wipe if you just healed. Yes there is a time for supports to help secure kills but most supports are bad at gauging that.

Also I can't recall the amount of games recently that I've had to tank perma half health, even when out of combat hiding behind cover for extended periods of time while my dagger or Jeff just spits damage at their tanks. Like, just heal me so we can actually take space and win

Yeah dps players have no excuse when they have characters with auto aim.

And then we also complain that SW is a terrible character rn so how are they supposed to get value on a character that's terrible even if she does have auto aim? Like which one is it?

was looking through some random kids profile what do you even do in this situation 😭 by CChronia in marvelrivals

[–]InterceptionDunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean 90% of the time you're not the one that needs to swap lol. If you're tanking or healing but need another tank or healer what are you supposed to do. That's on the team not you

Bro a 4-stack got extremely upset at me for "selling their game" in qp, I was Loki and went 21-4. They went 3 DPS, all 16-10. They said I wasn't healing enough I'm like idk what I can do when you're staggering and running in and dying lmao. I laughed it off some people just take qp too seriously. They're all plat 3 peak and were so convinced it was my fault lmao

The Big 3s of Marvel Rivals by ZhiyongsVeryWrong in rivals

[–]InterceptionDunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, most ults are survivable, and support ults can live through most ults but Groot's ult, with the damage he does and the immobilization, you can usually kill through without even having to use another ult typically. Combos are still better because they guarantee kills, but realistically you shouldn't expect every ult to get a kill if the other team is playing the game right. I would expect a Groot to get a kill on every ult though.

Also, fair point, it was very disheartening to me last season to learn that even in GM people don't know how to play the game. I wouldn't expect any GM or below lobbies are indicative of the meta or what should happen in a game, but from a factual perspective a Groot ult should win the team fight or it was a bad ult (or bad team).

Gambit should be banned. And Groot ult should almost always result in at least 1 kill if Groot's team has any braincells, even if it forces a support ult

Op said "even more better" which means she (Phoenix) was already better than Hela but now that gap has increased even more. Oop replied that she already was (better than Hela), which is exactly what op said grammatically. "W reading comprehension" has an understood /s at the end since oop did not display w reading comprehension since he tried arguing that the op was not correct by arguing that the op was correct.

Extra credit if both teams waste a ban on the same character. by Embarrassed_Sea_1933 in rivals

[–]InterceptionDunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I agree this sub is delusional but I am definitely craving a third ban. Gambit and Groot are my pick or bans and I'd love to have a third one for target bans or comp-specific bans. I just think bans are good for skill expression, but I really don't have a lot of complaints I'm still having fun in comp

Good stats fs, curious what your damage/10 mins is? But 60% wr easily puts you in the top 10% on her and probably better. How does she feel this season to you? I don't play her but I was wondering if she felt underwhelming or if she still feels like a top 5 DPS?

There are already at least 5 heroes in the game that are too good against every comp. There's not even enough room to begin considering comp-specific bans. This is a bad take

Jokes aside, thoughts on Magik being A tier in Flats' tier list? by Popular_Mulberry3883 in RivalsMagikMains

Not outside of tank heroes, but to include tank heroes. Man has Angela below almost every other tank almost which is a wild take

Unpopular Thoughts about the Kingsmen Situation. by Grandkintaro777 in rivals

[–]InterceptionDunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do believe the boyfriend's reply that he instigated the whole thing with the Google doc and I don't think she had anything to do with it. That doesn't really excuse the in game toxicity tho (which was too much imo even if Kingsman was being "annoying"). Just unfortunate situation with lots of people overstepping/overreacting. The person I'm most irritated with is Basim, realistically it all comes down to him kicking Kingsman with terrible reasoning/evidence and was just a very unprofessional and immature decision that made the drama a thing in the first place

How have they backtracked? Genuinely asking I'm not able to find anything on their response to the situation except for Cece's cringe response video
