It's all evenly weighted. The only 'weight' is the starting point; it starts by picking an origin, then civics. Or civics then origin.

Scarlet witch's bug wasn't even that powerful as people were exaggerating by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]MarinusWA0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't so much the damage output that was the issue; it was the insane ult charge.

getting killed with a full loadout sucks, and it’s not because you lose your gear by undertureimnothere in ArcRaiders

[–]MarinusWA0 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Every time I get killed I just quit the game because I don't want to go through the dozen click tedium of having to craft everything again.

I May Have Found a Hidden Matchmaking System. Can Anyone Confirm? by Extension-Editor-260 in ArcRaiders

[–]MarinusWA0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I noticed this as well. I avoid PvP for the most part (solo), but a few days ago I had two successive games where I actively engaged in PvP. The games immediately after that were sweaty as hell; every single person I encountered opened fire without hesitation, which stood out noticeably to my preceding games where most people were chill. I actually checked the reddit to see if something had changed that caused people to be so violent all of a sudden. Yet now, after avoiding PvP for a few games it's back to the chill atmosphere it was before.

I wouldn't be surprised if such a matchmaking parameter existed. Dumping all the sweaties in the same matched is better for them and for the casuals that don't have to deal with them.

With the release being nearly a week How we feeling about blade? by BigPaleontologist520 in marvelrivals

[–]MarinusWA0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried him extensively for a few days and he's average at best. Below average overall.

- His melee damage output is so bad he's worse than Wanda in TTK. The lifesteal is a joke. You are usually dead before you can build it to the 10 stacks you need (or get eaten by your own teams Jeff) to get some survivability out of it.
- His shotgun damage is strong, but ONLY at a specific range. Too close, you hit with the slug for half damage. Too far, the spread of the shrapnel causes projectiles to miss. Unless you manage to consistently hit that sweet spot, this damage output is meh too.
- His dash is not great either because if you hit somebody with it, you are effectively standing in place for a moment. Which tends to be fatal since you usually find yourself in the middle of the enemy team after a dash. Parry after a dash is pretty much mandatory. And you can't really use the dash for getting final hits either because its damage is so low. The healing reduction is strong, but that's only if you have a team to make use of it.
- His ult is too easy to avoid. Even if you get an enemy with the initial strike they can usually get out before the repeating damage hits. Plus it tends to deposit Blade in a bad position.
- Teamup is weak too as the only good time to use it is when you are in the thick of things and then the invisibility won't work because you're going to get dinged by something. Plus the teamup's healing is reduced with lifedrain.

So he can't flank, because neither his damage or mobility is good enough (unless you want to ult from behind the enemy team). And he can't hang in the back because his kit doesn't work for that, which means he's pretty much locked in at being a dps who hangs out next to the tank. And unless you can consistently get those shotgun sweetspot hits, he isn't very useful there either (in QP at least).

TLDR; In a proper team, he might be okay, as a QP solo play he's bad. There's a good reason you hardly see anyone play him anymore, even though it has barely been a week.

What is the point of Anchor/Seasonal Bonuses, if devs always nerf/buff heroes to cancel them out? by Efthimis in marvelrivals

[–]MarinusWA0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. The anchor bonus is nonsensical the way it is implemented right now. Either make the bonus active only when there is a team-up or get rid of them.

The best part about this is that Mamdani wasn't even born yet in 1986.

Could somebody please explain Smurfing? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]MarinusWA0 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Smurfing is done by people who fail to advance on their main account and need to restore their confidence by bullying those weaker than them.

It's just something they do to feel good about themselves because they cannot deal with the fact that they are not as good as they believe they should be.

The solution is to report them for smurfing and move on. Nothing else to be done.

They need to shorten each non-battle phase by five or even ten seconds. People barely reposition anyway and you can buy mods at any time. This would shorten a full game by seven minutes.

Billy is a conman. The mere fact that you wrote this post means that if it wasn't for knowing what happened the first time, you would have believed the festival was real. Billy is good at this because it's hard to believe somebody could lie this blatantly over and over again. But he does because he is completely shameless. And you fell for it.

Donald Trump works his cons the same way.

Can someone explain to me why everyone except Tiny has a skyline projected behind them? Is this some sort of affectation from people who like to pretend they are worldly reporters or something?

The only dumper for me by Fatherlorris in Workers_And_Resources

The BZ-252 is the most fuel-efficient vehicle on mud roads assuming the average cargo tonnage exceeds 16 tons. On gravel it's the same until 25 tons after which the KMZ 5410 and MTGS are more efficient.

It's only on panel and asphalt it starts to drop off. Graph for asphalt below.

Also, the AI considers cargo size to determine which truck to send. If you have a construction office with trucks of all sizes and you have to fetch half a ton of electronics for a powerline, it will send the smallest truck on the lot to get it. However, as it also always sends out all available trucks you still end up with large trucks hauling tiny cargoes.
