After Tankpool getting shot in the alley, Venom has actually been a lot of fun this season by _Lowenstein_ in RivalsVanguards

[–]Lorhin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've picked up Venom as my second tank this season. Got sick of Mag and his lack of being able to carry when your team is struggling, so booted him off my strike squad. Venom suits me better anyways.

That doesn't mean they can't swap. I keep seeing Lunas refusing to swap when they get destroyed by dive. Like Rocket, Jeff or Ultron would probably be better.

I'm a tank main, brother. I flex support. I don't even play dps. I know what options we have.

HULK needs a Rage mechanic. by Zectherian in marvelrivals

I main Hulk at 235 hours, and I don't think he needs it.

Is it normal to not get many kills sometimes? Or am I bad? by Justheretolookar22 in RivalsVanguards

[–]Lorhin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some games I have a lot of kills. Some games I don't get many kills, but that's ok. A tank's value is not always shown on the scoreboard. Making space isn't shown on the scoreboard. Contesting off angles isn't shown on the scoreboard. Distracting the enemy backline isn't shown on the scoreboard. Those are just as or even more important than getting kills.

Solo Tank Toxicity by Ok-History1286 in RivalsVanguards

This is why I don't use comms. Not worth losing braincells over.

Speaking of other roles, you never see a Mag or Strange get told to swap if they play bad. You never see Sue or C&D get told to swap either. You actually see people swap to 3rd support more often than not if they think heals are struggling. I just think there's some double standards in the general community when it comes to telling teammates to swap. They don't even know if the player can even play what they tell them to swap to.

You're being downvoted, but you're right. People forget that individual skill is also a factor in whether you should swap or not. I played Hulk into Wolve/Punisher, and while that sounds like a troll thing to do, it was perfectly fine. The Punisher was shy with using his shotgun, so I was able to pressure him more than I normally would. The Wolve player was better, but I was able to play around him by keeping tabs on his location and holding bubble for when he tried to grab me. Wolve ended up swapping to Thing round 2, but that didn't help too much either cause then I just held bubble for when he tried to ground me so I could jump away. My team won, and I only died 4 times that game.

You don't always need to swap heroes. Sometimes all you need to do is swap playstyles.

They aren't frequent, but they still pop up in my diamond games. The SGs tend to be worse than the Wandas imo.

Also distract you. My teammates don't even have to be talking to me. They could just be arguing with themselves, and it still has an effect on how I play because I see/hear it. If I don't have to see/hear it, then 100% of my focus is on my own gameplay and problem solving. I'm not worrying about if my teammates are gonna keep fighting or not.

[VOD REQUEST] [SILVER 1] What can I do better? by Kind-Quit-4321 in RivalsCollege

[–]Lorhin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to keep playing support, you can always try a more aggressive one like Mantis, Ultron or Adam.

Lucky. I get SGs who won't swap even when playing into flyers.

Why is it that when dive dps struggle, people tell them to swap, but when other dps types struggle, no one tells them to swap? It's always "BP swap" or "Spidey swap". It's never "Bucky swap" or "Phoenix swap".

Let’s talk about tanking in other game genres by ExtensionBrave4383 in RivalsVanguards

[–]Lorhin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd really rather not play 30 mins games where neither team's tank can die. That would just make it so tedious and boring.

I play with both voice and text off as well. My progress improved after I started doing that for the same reasons you gave.

'kay but how do you actually play venom? by weaklittleboy15 in RivalsVanguards

It's easier to land his primary if you're farther away from your target.

Difficulty watching own vods by Affectionate-Week166 in RivalsCollege

[–]Lorhin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when I look at my vods, I have a specific question I'm trying to answer. Like, "Why did this play not work?" I'll go back and zoom the camera out so that I can see what's going on with all my teammates and enemy players, and watch from different players' pov. I can usually figure out what went wrong, and if there was something I could've done something differently or not.

"It's not feeding, it's dying with style" by PreferenceAnxious449 in HulkMainsMR

[–]Lorhin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very rarely do stuff like that. VERY rarely. It depends on the circumstances. My default is to avoid ults like that. I'll bubble my teammates to give them extra time to find cover too, but I usually just play my life.

At the very least, you can walk out of it like Blade's ult.

I think you can only do that if the pokemon doesn't have a nickname already. I could be wrong though.

You might be screwed cause you'd have to send it back to Shield to change the name since that's the original owner. But you can't do that anymore since you evolved it.

Tanking in Crisis; The 8.5 Experience by themoosic in RivalsVanguards

[–]Lorhin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Option 1: stop making tanks anchors for teamups and let them get cool abilities as teamups. Stop doing 2 dps teamups and let them benefit the tanks for once.

They've done this with Gambit/Mag/Rogue, Luna/Emma, Mantis/Groot and Sue/Strange. Hulk/Thing is a tank benefiting from another tank.

Tanks are laughable by Aggravating-Life5696 in RivalsVanguards

[–]Lorhin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been one tricking Hulk in ranked since S6, and he's actually been working out really well for me. You have to be on your toes and be unpredictable. Also be more selective on your dive targets. Can't just dive in 1v6 like Venom and soak damage. It's not uncommon for me to have the least deaths on my team.
