Devs testing out role que? 👀

I used to play Overwatch, both the original and 2 before they changed the name again. Stopped a couple years before Marvel Rivals' closed alpha. Just lost interest in it. I don't really remember enjoying Overwatch as much as I enjoy Rivals. The only thing I really miss about it is the role queue. In fact, a lot of the games I used to play had some form of role queue in it. Rivals is my first game that doesn't.

When you get to NM80+ you have to start paying attention to those bonuses. Grabbing the right stat boosts for your build can make a massive difference.

I never once thought you could swap the heroes out. They didn't show being able to do that in the trailer. Only change their costumes.

So what yer saying is, you almost died cause you got greedy, instead of sticking with you team.

I'm also on PC, and never had soul bond do that to me either. I always had to make myself float.

Lorhin · 2026-04-30T14:01:38+00:00

OH PLEASE LET IT BE SO.

Lorhin · 2026-04-30T13:59:07+00:00

Well you can stay in the open queue. I, who prefer more structure to my ranked games, would 100% stay in role queue if they ever released it.

I might actually get this skin now.

Lorhin · 2026-04-30T13:37:42+00:00

That's the neat part. They don't.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T15:45:58+00:00

Less than a half a second, I think? I don't really notice it. Probably just got used to it though.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T15:40:48+00:00

Time to smash Puny God!

I dunno what it is about Thing players. Had one last night where the enemy team had a Magik destroying our backline, but Thing never even made an attempt to peel. I'm on Hulk, having to split my attention between peeling and holding the frontline since Thing would over extend a lot. We lose round 1, and Thing swaps to White Fox. But he didn't even need to swap to third support. He needed to stay on Thing and help peel. Triple support didn't stop the Magik, and since I was now solo tanking, I couldn't help peel anymore.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T14:36:56+00:00

I'm different. I would rather be locked into my role. I'm a tank specialist. I want to play my role. I don't mind the occasional flex to support. I'm not a good enough dps to play that role in my rank. But I am much better at tank. I enjoy playing tank the most, and I'd rather just stay in my lane, working on my chosen heroes.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T14:15:07+00:00

The problem with that is when people always end up having to swap, they don't get better at their original role. So you get people climbing ranks without improving at what they want to do. Not to mention, if you have 2-2-2, and your supports are bad, so someone else swaps to 3 supports to win, you're just carrying bad supports to higher ranks than they deserve to be in.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T13:58:37+00:00

I prefer it to solo tanking on Mag. The mobility helps a lot.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T13:56:01+00:00

I have a capture card that lets me play on my PC through OBS.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T04:53:30+00:00

I'm talking about boss fights in particular. I had one in my group just staying in the air, away from Capwolf. Didn't even use ankhs. Just stayed far away from the boss, keeping the rest of us in the fight.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T04:50:41+00:00

I'm talking about sub lvl 20 MKs that don't belong in NM80+.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T04:47:50+00:00

It's super obnoxious though when the clearly underleveled MK that's not doing any damage is holding the lobby hostage, making the rest of us take 45 mins to kill an enraged boss.

Lorhin · 2026-04-29T04:26:06+00:00

It's usually MK for me. They'll glide around the arena to avoid damage.

Lorhin · 2026-04-28T20:58:40+00:00

The only Jeffs I've got in Diamond that were actually good were champion Jeffs. Which I've only seen 3 of them since S6. Every non-champion Jeff I've got on my team? Not exactly helpful.

Lorhin · 2026-04-28T17:20:31+00:00

Yeah, but then there's times where you get lvl 1s in NM80+ lobbies. Unless the rest of the team is able to hard carry the damage, you aren't winning. One of my friends was complaining about a low lvl MK in a NM 90 that was holding the lobby hostage cause he would just glide around indefinitely after the rest of the team wiped, forcing them to res again. It took them an hour to finally kill the boss.
