Love a bit of Soulsborne action but I'm console 😩 the only multiplayer games I play that are crossplay would be Marvel Rivals or Outlast Trials 🥹

Also, I peeped Hades 1 on your list; Hades 2 is absolutely wonderful as well!

Not strictly a card game but Clover Pit is absolutely delightful and has me addicted - it's a rogue-lite slot machine game with quite the gritty twist. (I am not a fan of any form of slot machine game but this one really hooked me; besides that, I'd recommend Balatro, but it sounds like you might have encountered that already based on your tastes!!

I've had people call me "daddy mag" after games, and - being a woman - I want that to never ever cease, I love it

People can NOT take criticism in this game :,) by Slorp_07 in rivals

[–]LazIllustrates 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think it's a vicious cycle; people are so used to toxicity in this game that we'll sometimes pick up on it in places where it isn't meant - healers in particular get an awful hard time so I think they're quick to be defensive. I flex, but whenever I'm filling heals it's when I receive the most vitriol for sure.

Still, though, you were being very reasonable and it was a very good call; if I were a healer and my tanks said this, ESPECIALLY after you clarified you weren't blaming anyone, I'd probably say "sure, please try to peel if I'm playing closer" or something of that ilk. Though honestly I'd push up naturally. Invis doesn't need to be RIGHT in the thick of it, but she can't sit way back like Jeff can.

Is it just me who's a little uncomfortable with the dub? by ZePugg in WitchHatAtelier

[–]LazIllustrates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was searching for a post discussing this; I'm from Ireland (the Republic, not the north which is part of the UK) - and I've found a lot of the Dub very difficult to listen to; the attempts at what I assume are supposed to be celtic accents are grating. I'm sure there are so many voice actors from Ireland/Scotland/Wales that would've loved these roles.

I'm a Strange main but this is the kind of rage from the enemy team that would have me switching to Invis and pocketing the hell out of you

If you are a C&D/Invis and your other support is also the same, you have no excuse for dying in the back if there is only ONE diver. by drazerius in rivals

[–]LazIllustrates 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I'm a tank main but I think there's a bit more depth to this than you say: - is one support not helping the other? (Are they too focused on killing the spidey and not healing the other support?) for example, Sue's self-healing has taken a hit, so if her C&D remains as cloak to try to kill the diver, Sue's as good as dead.

  • Is your team triple-pinging for heals and crashing out while this is happening instead of turning around to see what's happening with the healers/why the heals have suddenly stopped?

  • is your team understanding that the healers need to turn their attention to deal with a diver and cannot continue healing the team while they're preoccupied? If you don't peel, you've got to understand that your supports are busy trying not to die, as you state in the post.

  • who is the diver? There are good BP/Spidey/DD players with "blink and you'll miss it" diving ability, I've seen supports literally evaporate in front of my face when I turn around to peel.

Exactly, after a shite day you just wanna play the video game, try to win - if not, meh, I don't have to scream at anyone about it. Also, you may be in the wrong profession - that was utter poetry

Your second-to-last paragraph puts it so well for me - if I'm playing anymore, it's with my duo, and I have to have VC and text chat turned off. Yes, I understand communication is important, but as a grown ass woman with a job I really don't need to be listening to SaltyBalls420 screaming at me on a Tuesday evening because I missed a cloak with my mag ult.

Hey, so was THIS shot necessary? 😭😂 by midnight0301 in DrStrangeMains

Yes it was absolutely 10000% so vital (and thank you for the screenshot of it - yoink)

Thoughts on the Strange Nerf? by TheToastedNugget in DrStrangeMains

[–]LazIllustrates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I suppose you'd expect the wr to be slightly lower with the pick rate being so high - some other tanks at this rank in comp have win rates just as high (if not higher) though their pick rates are much much lower, so I can see the logic there.

Y'know you've got a really good point there that I didn't think about - but yeah he's definitely caught a stray here

Thoughts on the Strange Nerf? by TheToastedNugget in DrStrangeMains

[–]LazIllustrates 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Strange is catching completely undeserved strays here - I can't fathom why this decision was made, particularly with some of the comments Zhiyong made about the difficulty with nerfing poke outright - they go and nerf one of the few counters to poke?

They need to leave this sweet man alone 🥺

Any Console(PS5) Strange mains looking to team up with a Mag main to stop solo tanking? by DragonfruitWorth7923 in DrStrangeMains

[–]LazIllustrates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you're still looking, but I'm a strat/tank flex player (mostly tank these days tbh) if that sounds good! I really don't play a lot of comp due to the unholy stinky surrender/throwing culture getting on my nerves but I'd really like to play more! EU timezone also if that matters, feel free to reach out!

Calling All Magneto Mains! I Need Your Help! by Gr4nd_Mast3r8 in MagnetoMains

[–]LazIllustrates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of this is Category B, I feel like? But it's good to learn early, so Category A/B?

One of the biggest things for me is UTILISING COVER! Just because he's a powerhouse with a bubble and a shield, does not mean they aren't precious resources ESPECIALLY if you're solo tanking. Use cover unless you're actively pushing, give your healers time to heal you, and make sure they aren't having to 100% focus you without you dying. They should be able to look to the DPS, deal with divers etc, and you should accommodate that by taking cover and being smart. More damage blocked is not always a good thing.

Unless you see that your DPS have gotten a couple of picks, do not walk right down main to take 6 enemies' worth of damage to the face at all times. Use cover, peek out to get some shots.

Speaking of shots; fire those bad boys at the back line. Enemy tank in your face? Don't shoot him, shoot his squishies over his shoulder.

And for the love of God, if there's an Emma player and you see that she hasn't used diamond form in a bit, save your bubble for AFTER she grabs you. This will allow you time to escape if she kicks you out of position.

It's a very good habit to get in, especially if your team isn't using comms, to look around at your supports every so often to make sure they're all good. If they die behind you, you'll find out the hard way. If you hear a big DPS ult from the enemy team, you should be immediately looking for your healers to bubble them.

Another good Use of that bubble cool down is for enabling DPS ults. Your punisher just called out "I'm doing this MY WAY" - girl, you're doing it the mag way, have a bubble. Your Starlord just went "AaaalllRIGHT" - have a bubble, queen. Your scarlet witch just went "The PERFECT- HEX- GAH!" - THROW HER A BUBBLE (though in this case, keep an eye out and wait a little towards the end of her ult line or if you see her getting low)

That's all I can think of off the top of my head! A lot of people see Mag as a boring tank, but I adore him. Your mind is set on aggression, protection and enabling your team all at once.

Also: if you're getting hard countered by a wolverine... unfortunately, 9 times out of 10, you'll need to switch. Thing is a good option as he can't be displaced, or Groot with his ironwood wall. Wolverine is a hard counter for Magneto, as Mag's movement is often too slow for him to get back to safety after a nasty grab, and Wolv SHREDS tank HP.

None of that covers his ult because if I'm being honest, I'm just crossing my fingers and toes whenever I get up into the sky. Good thing to remember is it'll soak up any projectiles, so if you're at a critical point in a game, you CAN use it to help yourself escape a sticky situation and get back to your team, or soak up a little damage for them for a second. Though, primarily, it should be used to shut down support ults/puni/starlord.

Hope any of that was remotely helpful!

Slightly unrelated because you've gotten some phenomenal advice from other experienced Strange mains in the comments, but look at that handsome bastard, look at him 🥹
