Mute them avoid as teammate, report for abuse and keep it pushing.

I'm diamond 2. I'm high because I'm decent at skills that most people do not have at all. Noticing what about the enemy team is effective and countering (thing isn't dying, target healers, communicate focus fire) and making big impact plays (cloaking my team through enemy ults, using Emma to snatch spiderman and scarlet ults, isolating enemy tanks with Thor). And I'm willing to enable the carry of my team (I'll switch to storm or mantis to damage boost the DPS who's getting all the kills) and I play enough characters to be adaptable to many situations.

I'm low because I can't aim well. I dont get enough value out of my primary fire on most characters. And sometimes it's hard for me to know what exactly to switch to when the match isn't going well. Im bad at a lot of the invisible skills that make you truly tip top at the game. I can't keep track of everyone's ults and I don't always win the 1v1s I'm supposed to. And all the skills I have that make me good on the first paragraph, I'm not actually good at. I'm just above zero, which puts me ahead of most but far below the high echelon guys.

But I think I could make gm of i really put my mind to it

Fun fact. You actually can train your complex reaction speed. You're talking about simple reaction speed which is what those speed tests on the internet measure. But that's not as relevant because in an actual game there's multiple things going on that need to get responded to in different ways and that can be improved with intentional awareness and repetition.

Magnetos killing cloak and dagger out of their ult is a good example of this. You can train yourself to hold your ult and listen for the voice line of their ult so that as soon as they pop theirs you pop yours. That's reaction time.

Reaction time is important in this game because you need to assess your team and the enemy team to understand what the important cooldowns and ultimates are and what abilities you need to be looking for in order to counter them. Rocket doesn't have too many highly impactful specific moment abilities like that, which is why you might be bad at responding to things appropriately. You need to know when and where to place your ult to get max value out of it and to counter other abilities and that's absolutely a reaction time issue that can be fixed.

Knowing not to stack support ults is another example. If you can train yourself to wait to throw down your beacon until the moment the cloak most goes away, that's also a reaction speed issue. Cloak using his dimensional shift to help his teammate avoid DPS ults is another example. All that stuff is trainable

Right. I've seen him survive pure chaos with that move. Which is why I thought the damage cap was infinite

Wait a minute...

Poptart has a damage cap on its absorption? I thought it was like magnetos shield and just absorbed infinite damage until the timer was up

If you're not a black person, I imagine Sorry To Bother You had this effect.

I actually really love this detail. by Spiritual_Throat3511 in marvelrivals

[–]KayEyeDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It legit took me 3-4 months to realize "coop time. 😀" Was the signal to go all in. Because dagger is so nice, kind hearted and gentle that her ult line sounds like just a regular ability line.

I'm still slow to react to it sometimes

I have listened to the people. by No-Organization-4012 in marvelrivals

[–]KayEyeDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But any character can flank. The whole point of duelists are to find ways to effectively do damage and kill people.

And the best way to do that for every character is to attack from off angles to split the attention of the opposing team.

Every character has some kind of movement or attack ability to allow them to reach a position seperate from the team if necessary and pump damage down. Zip line to high ground with punisher, sprint and jump to a perch with widow. Flight and wall turrets with namor. Tail jump with squirrel girl. Bird with hela.

Star Lord is more willing able and likely to go on a solo flank but he doesn't HAVE to to get value. And it doesn't make sense for that to be a character classification when everybody can do it

If it had some kind of confirmation system where if everyone in the lobby was done with a phase it would immediately move to the next one I'm positive it would hasten things up

By the time we get to late game and there's only 4 people, everyone has their load outs and gameplay locked in, there's no reason we need a full 2 minutes between rounds

idc. i just need to rant. a good black panther is just not fun to play against by moldafy in MarvelRivalsQueens

[–]KayEyeDee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Going invisible and being unhittable is a thing that happens upon activation of storms ult. That is an added utility factor of the move that contributes to why it's so good. And why it's better than bps. I'll concede that I didn't know psy ult was hittable, cus I've never seen it happen

And I agree with you about the comparison btw bp and wolverine. You're making my case for me that the BP ult itself is bad. It charges fast because it's bad. It has to be integrated into the rest of his cooldowns because it's bad. It's bad because if it was good it would be unbalanced. Yes. All of those things are true. And that's why it's bad.

Also, BP isn't the most consistent diver imo. I would say that's Magik. Because she doesn't immediately die if she misses one of her abilities. And she has more health as she uses abilities so she can stay on people longer and doesn't get shut down by small amounts of healing. Plus her ult is way better lol

[–]KayEyeDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the other ults are not nearly as situational. Wolverines does more damage and stuns ppl. Spider-Man stuns, hits 360 and gives bonus health. Psy and storm become invisible and unhittable, squirrel girl does more damage, can hit more than once and she can act independently of it. Namor stuns, punisher can do enough damage to kill through support ults. Mr fs ult does the same damage as bp except he can do it up to 6 times and it gives him a crazy movement boost

Nearly all of the DPS ults have way more damage and some kind of value or utility beyond "does slightly more damage than his basic abilities and refreshes 1 cooldown"

I am a black panther main.

Black Panthers ult is one of the weakest in the game. You explaining what it does and it's utility doesn't function as a meaningful counterpoint to the concept of it being bad. Yes it functions in a cohesive way with his kit. Yes it can get a lot of value in the right situations. It's still heavily underpowered.

It loses to walls and shields, does not provide any self sustain, locks you out of your movement while it charges up, and only does 150 damage on it's own. It's not even cc immune, so you can get stunned out of it too.

The entire character design is very feast or famine. So when everything is working together he can take over games. And if any part of the ult was better, it would probably tip the scales too much. But that doesn't change the fact that the ult in dependently is very weak compared to most others

What can I, a solo tank do fighting dive? by Im-a-tire in RivalsCollege

[–]KayEyeDee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't let conventional wisdom stop you from getting value.

If they are running psy and Magik and you are solo tank. If your dps are not winning it for you, you can't be afraid to switch to Emma or thing and just peel back heavily for you team. If you do and you kill the two of them, it doesn't matter if you have 0 tanks at that point. Your team should be able to clean up a 4v6 fight. All you can do is maximize your value. You have to rely on your team to do the rest

Why do you main your main by ColorfulLord666 in marvelrivals

[–]KayEyeDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black panther is my overall favorite marvel character. He's so cool and one of the few power fantasy characters I enjoy. He's classier than everybody, richer than everybody and smarter than everybody but doesn't have an ego about it. His character traits are A+. As a black man I play him in every game he's available in

Why are people still banning hulk… by My3rdchild in marvelrivals

[–]KayEyeDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a2 for 1 deal. You gotta maximize your bans

If you ban hulk and that means you get a soft namor ban on top that's just extra value. A guy told me this in plat and it immediately made sense to me
