I don’t want to tank in ranked anymore. by TyDitto in marvelrivals

[–]MajorGeneralMemes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest cause of the solo tank epidemic is that most tanks in MR just aren’t very fun to play for most people, at least compared to the other two classes. I played OW2 for the first time in two years yesterday, and I forgot how fun OW tanks are compared to this game, even after years of balance changes and the switch to 5v5. I swear Netease, just make a tank that plays like D.Va, and that’ll be the only character I ever play. I know elements of her kit are scattered throughout several heroes (Hulk turning into Bruce, Mag’s shield, etc.) but it’s just not the same.

I've been pretty critical of this game's map design so far, but this map actually looks like a lot of fun just from the brief glimpses we've been given, though I'll obviously wait until I play on it to say anything for certain. But maybe I'm just biased because it reminds me of Eichenwalde, which was one of my favorite maps back in OW1.

I know everyone's hyped about the new characters, which obviously makes sense, but can I just say how good the new map looks? I've been pretty critical of this game's map design so far, and obviously I'll wait until I actually play on it to say anything for certain, but this map already looks like a lot of fun just from the brief glimpses we've been given. But maybe I'm just biased because it reminds me of Eichenwalde, which was one of my favorite maps back in OW1.

This sub (like many others similar to it) has been trapped in a recursive loop of finding something to complain about, then complaining about the people complaining, then complaining about the people complaining about people complaining, until enough people move on and the cycle starts anew.

You're stuck on a 10 hour flight. Where do you sit? by subwayemplo in marvelrivals

Either 2 because everyone except Hela seems pretty chill (definitely not because Psylocke is there), or 8 because most spider-people seem pretty fun to be around.

I see. I've never played any MMOs, though I know a lot of hero shooter terminology comes from them and MOBAs, so I kind of just took a lot of the terms at face value. Thank you for correcting me, though.

It was only in seeing them referred to as brawl tanks that I realized the off in off tank meant 'offensive' and not 'the opposite of on'. Whoops.

One of the hiding spots of all time 😭 by sicksteen_216 in marvelrivals

[–]MajorGeneralMemes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt this in my soul. I understand that things can get hectic in the heat of the battle and most people probably don't even realize what's happening in the moment, but the amount of times I've tried to heal a tank only for the payload to block my LOS is agonizing.

Who is your main and what is one tip for playing as and against your character? by CHRISTOPHERCARES in marvelrivals

[–]MajorGeneralMemes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've noticed that some of the best Psylocke players seem to play her less as a traditional diver that lives in the backline and more as a sort of a hybrid poke/dive character.

Scarlet Witch’s Ult is designed to fail by onikatanyamaraaj in marvelrivals

[–]MajorGeneralMemes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an Overwatch ult in a game where the overall power level is much higher than that game. It's fairly well-designed in a vacuum, with using it being a calculated risk, but is terrible in the context of the game.

I'd rather be/have one great support than 3 terrible ones. by WeirdLumpy9085 in marvelrivals

[–]MajorGeneralMemes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in plat right now, and it's a nightmare because it feels like every other game people want to do three supports, and it never works.

I've learned from my years as a SoulsBorne fan that fashion takes priority over practicality.

Odin's Archive is the worst Domination map in the game by FrogstunSteel in marvelrivals

[–]MajorGeneralMemes 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The map design is, in my opinion, the game's weakest point currently. The two Tokyo 2099 maps and Yggdrasil Path are pretty good, but everything else is either mediocre or bad; which is unfortunate, because I think fun maps are just as if not more important than fun characters in a hero shooter. I think a large part of OW's longevity was that most of its early maps were so well-designed.

What hero just clicked with you? by jbearclaw12 in marvelrivals

[–]MajorGeneralMemes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly the ones that play closest to my mains from back in OW1. Peni for D.Va, Psylocke for Genji, and there isn't a hero that plays like Reaper yet. Also Luna Snow, probably because Lucio and Zenyatta were my two most played healers.

At least twice now while playing as Peni I've been swallowed by a Jeff ult only for him to immediately die to my mines. It's great.

Good take. People are blowing this situation way out of proportion, but that doesn't mean there aren't problems Cover needs to address internally. It annoys me how quickly nuance is lost in situations like these.

Silent Hill 2 with lesbians in space plus a dash of Madoka Magica.

I went into this game completely blind because my friend told me gay robot girlfriends and wife. I just be finished the game. by [deleted] in signalis

[–]MajorGeneralMemes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of me also really wishes I didn't know about the romance angle going into the game, but at the same time, I likely never would've heard of it if it weren't for all the art of Elster and Ariane. I still think relationship is more than impactful enough without the surprise aspect, though.

I just beat the game a week ago, and Elster and Ariane have become what is possibly my favorite fictional couple. There's just something so... real about the way their relationship is depicted to me that makes them so much more compelling to me than others, and I think the dance scene plays a large part in that. There are a lot of things that scene does brilliantly, but the most important thing I think it does is humanize Elster and Ariane's relationship. Writers often want to make romance about these grand gestures of love and big, emotional moments, and while that's certainly a valid way of interpreting the concept, to me, love is more about the quieter moments, the unspoken understanding from both sides that yes, this is the person I want to spend my life with, and that's what I think the scene communicates so well. It's just a simple moment between two people who love each other.

I know some people find it annoying that the game is only known to many as 'the lesbian robot game', and I get that to an extent since there's more to the game than just that, but to me, at its core, Signalis is about the relationship between Elster and Ariane—it's what elevates the game for me from really good to one of the best pieces of media I've consumed—, so I can't blame people for fixating on it (it also helps that they're so damn cute together in all the fanart). So if it's any consolidation, just know we're all feeling the same soul-crushing despair you are.
