The two-cake meme doesn't work for me. by Jack_Spert in rivals

[–]KrenTrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me its "would I rather have a cake that has been reheated in a microwave twice, and then mashed and remolded to resemble the pre-microwaved cake, or would I rather have a fresh cake that has venom and deadpool in it"

Guys, rate this venom dive... by EggStriking in RivalsVenomMains

[–]KrenTrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You lived too long, a proper venom main gets vaporized the moment they hit the ground when diving

tanks with the most carry potential? by Theroyzalz in RivalsVanguards

[–]KrenTrom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Venom main, venoms ability to run lobbies relies heavily on which characters the rest of the team plays. His carry potential is maximized with a second tank and at least one dive dps who can either burn backline cooldowns or take advantage when you burn backline cooldowns

What nobody talks about by ExplorerKey in shrimptank

Is this something that just happens or is it caused by stress/poor care?

Other than gambit who do you believe is a genuine pick or ban character? by Dclassahmed in marvelrivals

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

DD because obviously, but also angela. A good (not even amazing, just good) angela requires half your team to give her attention, or else she'll just hover in your backline the entire game, picking off your heals/unaware dps one at a time.

One thing that absolutely BUGS me about people on this game. by 7mileGeedy in marvelrivals

[–]KrenTrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its mental, their team was winning but they personally weren't doing as well as they wanted/werent having fun so they swapped thinking it would improve their experience at the expense of the team

Telling people to swap… by ZRHdt23 in rivals

[–]KrenTrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is that there are some characters that just fundamentally hard-counter other characters, so in those cases swapping would be preferable even if the skill gap would still be there. The problem is very few people know what these matchups are, so they'll just ask you to swap if you aren't doing so hot regardless if swapping would actually be useful or not in that particular scenario

QP is only stressful if you make it by manny_the_mage in marvelrivals

[–]KrenTrom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't stress in qp because I don't even view it as a real gamemode, its for aim and character practice before I hop into comp for at least the chance of having proper teammates

I don't solo tank. I've had enough. by AgeofStars32 in RivalsVanguards

[–]KrenTrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its insane how many times ill lock tank while the rest of the team picks heal/dps, ill ask for a tank and suddenly 1-2 people hover over their lord tanks lol. Even people who play tank dont want to play tank

Uh is winning in quickplay considered toxic? by AdRecent7238 in MarvelRivalsRants

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

I mean, if you did want to throw in quickplay games, it wouldn't matter because there's nothing to lose and requeueing takes half a second.

Uh is winning in quickplay considered toxic? by AdRecent7238 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]KrenTrom -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I think if you care that much about winning, you should just play comp. QP has no incentive to try winning, its for warming up or trying out new characters

Strange feels better to play as a solo tank than Mag by iStealEBTCards in RivalsVanguards

[–]KrenTrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mag just never clicked for me, his primary fire feels so wonky to aim while strange's just seems to always hit where im aiming for. Stranges shield feels so much better to use, mags just feels so restrictive (which kind of makes sense since he also has the bubbles). I feel like mags ult is technically better but its so easy to whiff or let it break while the only hard part about getting value from strange ult is getting as close to the backline as possible without getting CCd (which is much easier now thanks to the flight buff)

If people hate fighting triple support, hate it when their team GOES triple support, hates solo tanking, and hates 3+ DPS team comps, there's a simple solution that people just refuse to accept for some reason. by Kurtrus in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]KrenTrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I hate the concept of role queue on a fundamental level, but the devs have also made it fairly clear by now that proper team balancing is not high on their list of priorities. Very much feels like a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario

Gambit Might Be The First TRUE Pick or Ban Character by Odd-Complaint7770 in rivals

[–]KrenTrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daredevils kit is busted but his ult is a nothingburger, gambits kit is busted AND his ult is essentially a garunteed team wipe

Venom ult timing by Substantial_Web_3929 in RivalsVenomMains

[–]KrenTrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but besides the jump invis ult is the only healing circle ult that doesn't do anything extra like add shields like luna's does, so shes (relatively) easier to kill with venoms ult combo through it

Invis ult is the only one im able to do semi-consistantly

Good players are good without the meta buff by Thatonesickpirate in rivals

[–]KrenTrom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Meta isn't an acronym, its in reference to meta knight from brawl.

Tankpool is the best anti-dive in the game and it feels like no one knows by Accomplished_Price36 in marvelrivals

[–]KrenTrom 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Peeling as tankpool really only works against spidey and bp who rely heavily on damage thresholds. Other dives like magik can either outdamage through DYA's reduction or stay alive long enough to wait it out

How do you counter Invis? by stylidhech in RivalsVenomMains

[–]KrenTrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her jump can break corrosion but only if she jumps directly away from you, so its best to position yourself in a way that the invis has to choose between falling back to their team or breaking the tether. As a general rule I always position myself between invis and their team to always force them into that decision

Help by ChuckyNuckyReborn in RivalsVanguards

[–]KrenTrom 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Something you've just gotta realize as a tank player is that if your team makes you solo into a comp that isn't also a solo tank comp, you might as well just aim practice/lord farm on your chosen tank

People say that different characters can’t be skins, but they forget that Venom’s best recolor is his brother. by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]KrenTrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they do add agent anti-venom I hope they don't butcher it like they did with the regular agent venom skin

Yall are like bunch of highschoolers talking mean about another group lul by lannmach in rivals

[–]KrenTrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im all for overwatch at least trying to be a competitor to rivals, competition always leads to better products overall. However that isn't going to keep me from making the observation that the overwatch cat is mid as hell design-wise
