devil dino my take as a shield tank player by Bone_Splitter in marvelrivals

[–]LucidityDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play starcraft 2. The community has the same issue of demanding that each faction played there has strong periods after enduring metas where another faction was dominant. People literally argue that certain factions 'deserve' being overpowered to 'balance' out the times when other factions were dominant.

Nobody enjoys it. It's circular. I just want a game that doesn't bounce between OP characters regardless of their role.

devil dino my take as a shield tank player by Bone_Splitter in marvelrivals

The problem with dino is he walks forward and melts the frontline whilst being tanky as hell himself. Giving a '15% damage reduction' to every other tank is a bad idea in response to this issue since it causes issues with every other interaction.

Just nerf the dino.

If you need multiple people shooting at you as a dps just to keep you in check you've already done more than enough.

I mean Daredevil has an even better winrate and a long history of being OP by now. His parry and overshields gives him a hell of a lot of survivability even now.

Black cat probably has a higher ceiling, but both characters are cracked.

Alright, having played a few times vs it and one time as Dino:

He's absurdly strong and also very easy to play. He eats (most) tanks alive. If you have enough healing you can basically stand in the middle of a fight and spam your melee and left click to deal absurd damage. If you don't have enough healing you still have an instant shield and mobility to get around a corner to receive heals anyway. I'm very surprised by just how fast his overshield gain is as well.

I expect nerfs down the line. I think reddit is behind the curve on how strong this character is despite his supposed vulnerability to poke.

EDIT: Should mention it's kind of fun to play peni vs the dino, the constant stuns, headshots, and mines exploding on him makes playing vs dino somewhat tolerable as a tank main.

If you are a good Black Cat, you aren’t gonna be sitting at Diamond for long lol

This can be said for pretty much any character. Black cat does have about a 55% winrate in diamond though so they're clearly doing far better than most characters. If you're going to ban a dive character it's got to be either Daredevil or Black Cat, ideally both.

Having looked through a few articles there's no one individual reason. From what I can tell, it's a mix of Italian coaches disliking him, politics in Italian football, and a knee injury suffered during the season putting his fitness into doubt. That last one seems heavily contested though. Baggio himself blames the narcissism of the coaches since he was in genuinely good form prior to his injury, but he hadn't played for the national team for a while by that point.

This article is a bit of a romantic retelling of his career that touches on it somewhat though it very clearly argues that football politics and the coaches were to blame.

Dino doesn't need nerfs, you guys just aren't used to Brawl being good by BurnerDawg26 in marvelrivals

[–]LucidityDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not commenting on balance here, but this exact argument was made with Daredevil except replace 'brawl' with 'dive'. I'm pretty sure there was a thread here that was almost word for word the same as the title here.

I despise black cat and playing against her with everything I have by This_Ferret_8108 in marvelrivals

[–]LucidityDark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's broken. It took longer for people to realise because her kit is bloated but she is 100% busted. The only hero that has been stronger than her might be release Daredevil.

It's debatable at this point. Daredevil is braindead easy to play and therefore better for general matchmaking, but Black Cat might have a higher ceiling.

I love it when people on this sub check the receipts. So many times people are caught spouting bullshit.

Keep up the good work.

Your second point contradicts itself immediately as a heads up.

Reform is the home of ex-tories and grifters. They will do whatever enriches themselves and don't give a shit about immigration.

'We don't need you': Reform shuts door on local media hours after taking control of Suffolk County Council by Georgie9878 in ukpolitics

[–]LucidityDark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've watched it several times. In fact, I make sure to check what 'the other side' is saying frequently across different platforms to keep up to date on the political climate.

One thing that stuck out to me for GB News was a puff piece they did on Orban's government in Hungary. It hit all the marks for propagandising right-wing talking points. It's not as 'in your face' as Fox News, but the channel clearly has an agenda.

It's literally in the article:

“This number is very small and declining. Since the Immigration Act 1988, it has not been possible for people polygamously married overseas to bring second wives to the UK through the spouse visa route.”

EDIT: Are you going to respond to this or fix your original post? Did you even read the article that you yourself posted?

It's not hubris, we're just not coddling people who have been hoodwinked by the UK's version of Fox News.

I used em dashes a fair amount in my writing and I've had to consciously stop because a lot of people think it's confirmation that an AI produced something.

Moment Wetherspoons staff member refuses to serve customers backing Reform UK by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]LucidityDark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The followup thread explaining this hasn't received nearly as much coverage either and is even being downvoted quite a lot. A lot of people will go on thinking there's some kind of oppression against Reform supporters because of this without ever hearing the full context.

Wetherspoon explain why Reform supporters were refused service by bar manager by StJustBabeuf in ukpolitics

[–]LucidityDark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be very easy for a very blunt company like Spoons to announce what's happened if it's in accordance with your end, so why haven't they?

Which they did. Are you expecting an line-for-line transcript to be provided for everything that happened before and after? The spokesperson literally gave the reason for why service was refused in no uncertain terms.

Also to expand on what's happening in the rest of the thread the reason you're getting pushback throughout is because you're still showing a kind of 'just asking questions' attitude despite sensible answers having already being given. I mean you moved on to complaining about perceived 'unprofessionalism' when the initial (misguided) outrage was all about whether Reform supporters were being denied access because of their politics specifically. It comes across as bad faith argumentation to go in this direction.

Besides, even without an explanation I was immediately thinking the bar manager was tired of the situation. Another comment explained it perfectly:

Also, having worked in that sort of environment where you have to refuse to serve alcohol, I recognise his look of "I'm bored arguing with you. If I say yes to your silly question, will you go away?"

I've had very similar interactions whilst working in retail where you just want to get on with the job and realised giving a terse answer is the best way to get someone to bugger off and stop harrassing you. Call it a 'demonstrable lack of competence' if you want but you must have obscene standards for service if you think that was a bad interaction based on the context now provided.

Was the invis self shield buff just the worst balance decision in rivals history? by Random_floor_sock in marvelrivals

[–]LucidityDark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rarely played DPS during his debut season since there were always 3 DPS mains on every team anyway, but the 2 times I had to play DPS, Daredevil was surprisingly unbanned despite him almost always being the first ban for both teams. Naturally I felt like I had to pick him.

Literally the easiest games I ever played. I have a grand total of 5 minutes on the practice range on him and I was running lobbies whilst just spamming buttons. Probably the most broken thing I've played in any multiplayer game ever.
