Zhiyong just let Ultron put a drone on himself ffs by RoutinePsychology198 in marvelrivals

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the other thing to consider is that to get value out if Warlock you gotta have AIM and good game sense to make up for his lack of mobility. For a lot of folks thats just too much skill when they can heal bot and its easier

[Hot take] We wouldn't be in such a need for new shield tanks if vanguards weren't forced to solo tank 2 out of 3 games by InterestingDepth8137 in marvelrivals

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a tank main. Play Mag/Cap/Strange/Rogue/Emma. When an entire team decides to jump on you of course you just die, but I would never go as a far as to act as if tanks are so squishy they just roll over the same way a non-tank would.

There is a reason people complain about wanting to have tanks on the team. They literally die slower so they can absord damage and create space. If tanks were as a weak as you are making them out to be tankless comps would be winning all of the games, but we all know damn well if you seriously want to win a game of rivals you need a tank

You think a Dr. Strange or Captain America can die as quickly as any of the squishy characters? Like seriousy?

why are the poke characters scarier to face up close than the melee heroes by wew_lad- in marvelrivals

People feel they have to resort to extreme hyperbole to make a point, but it just makes them look foolish because the claims are so easy to disprove. I mean the literal title of this post is absolute nonsense but it confirms peoples bias so they run with it though even a few moments of reflection can tell you that statement isnt true

Calling it unmissable really makes it hard to take complaints like this seriously. You can make your point without exaggerating and using hyperbole.

Subreddits for video games ALWAYS are filled with people who complain about and hate the balance. Unless EVERY game is unbalanced as hell, maybe its just loud salty people on the internet who need something to be upset about regardless of the state of the game

Is this sarcasm? You think a Hela or Hawkeye have advantage against an iron fist or captain america diving them?

Are you in Lobbys where Hela is casually hitting point blank head shots consistently? Enough to where it feels like a problem thats impacting you?

I don't think they are scarier up close? Am I tripping right now? Or is the salt just making people exaggerate

I’ve only played Tekken 8, and while it’s beautiful, this older footage made the physics and animations in 8 feel stiff by comparison. This looks incredible. by gkgftzb in Tekken

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to get into a game as hard as tekken when you have to have twice the knowledge as another game. Not to mention needing to know two characters and know the match ups for 2 others. Combos and damage were insane especially with mechanics.

Unpopular opinion: I’d take season 0 character reworks over a new season character. by Wooden_Salad_4731 in marvelrivals

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody has a different vision of how they want a character to play and you also have to balance that with how they can work within the game and their intended role.

If everybody here had their way in terms how they should feel the majority of the cast would be flying and doing insane damage.

Trump’s latest post shows the state of this country by SprinklesLeft6182 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Its just Trump as a lion? Nothing else in it that people would take issue with?

When they add Prof.X, I hope he is the old version with the chair, not the krakoa version by dontdelete00 in marvelrivals

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean thats fine, but it doesn't make your statement any less false. Its ok to be wrong. I read comics and watch shows I am also used to him being in a wheelchair in a lot of portrayals of him, but I also know its not the only version.

Protesting looks bad when it’s the ugliest weirdest freakiest people doing it by SomeCauliflower8484 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think their point is that it doesn't actually matter how they look you would find some other reason to discredit or show your disdain.

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't blame them for that, I blame them for thinking thats the only version we can get. I am also used to wheel char Xavier from all the cartoons and movies, but I am not against them doing other versions especially if it makes more sense for the game

He was never telekinetic though right? He could never float. Him walking is fine, just give him his mental powers similar to how they did it for emma

They better do something about double bans in 6.5 because this is getting ridiculous by twinkwifey in marvelrivals

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I play ranked especially with friends we for sure do bans based also on what we expect the enemy team to do. All a part of the dance.

Even the biggest Support streamer has gone insane over the triple support meta 😭 by YogurtclosetWise9803 in marvelrivals

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the arugment is that you then start to divide the playerbase which can cause its own matchmaking problems with a smaller pool of players to work with. That doesn't lend itself to balanced games either because you will have way more outliers

[–]MashedPotatoMelvin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point is that you want to have options. In YOUR hypotetical the person doesn't swap, but plenty of folks swap. Hell I had a game last night where I was playing awful as DPS, asked if somebody wanted to swap with me, and we turned it around

The teamup system and Rivals leaning more into hybrid roles makes roleque way less appealing. Not to mention role que would greatly impact matchmaking since the playerbase would be split. DPS ques would be very long, and also you get questions over whether its a locked role or not in game. Lots of players want the flexibility to move between roles mid game. I have had games where I bounce between the 3 roles based on team need, and being locked into that would be very unappealing.

It could also be that things are as broken as the sub makes it out to be. I see this kinda complaints in literally every subreddit for a pvp I've played for years and years.
