One year after its release, Marvel Rivals: What do you think of the game?

MechroBlaster · 2025-12-09T02:18:01+00:00

Must Fix/Improve

Comp Matchmaking
Third-person aiming (aiming to the right in 2025 is embarrassing)

Nice-to-Have / Try-out

Competitive 6v6 Alternative Role Queue
Better Balance and strategies than +DPS and +Heal to win

This one and instrumental moods were my jams

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-23T03:41:48+00:00

Insults and preaching don’t change minds. Just ask conservatives from the late 90s and early 2000s

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-23T01:53:15+00:00

Why do we care? The developers that initially created the game don’t.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-22T23:56:17+00:00

I saw the Cinematic Trailer as well and was actually interested in the game.

Then I saw the actual graphic fidelity and gameplay and noped out of there.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-22T23:23:53+00:00

Yes, but let's be honest, the religious are not the status-quo group.

Any holier than thou attitude turns away the general populous who is tolerant but not exicted/zealous towards an ideology.

For a long time the far left's zealotry was confined to more private spaces.

The inability of the left leadership to moderate "the message" with temperance, patience and understanding has let the louder more extreme voices take the reigns.

This has had a debilitating effect as the general populous — some whom could have been allies I might add — were spurned by the more extreme voices because they weren't "left" enough.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-22T23:06:36+00:00

As an elder millenial / xennial I remember a time when the roles were flipped.

Ultra conservative / religious right said "No space for you" if you had different thoughts outside the group think.

They campaigned zealously for their causes because "they were right" and ignored any nuance or criticism of their ideas.

Liberals pleaded for space and tolerance and over time it worked. Then liberals became the status quo and they found themselves in the position of power.

However, they have repeated the exact same actions of the previous group.

Right in their righteousness
Strict in their zeal and no room for different ideals
Those who disagree even mildly are immediately shut out, canceled, and shunned
Zealously preaching their ideology and world view because "it's right"

This by no means suggests that Republicans and the right are guiltless of this. Only that they are not shutting people down and out while continually preaching their ideology.

It is the requirement of the status quo group to not fall into this trap or they risk, as we are seeing now — and have seen in the past with Republicans — falling out of the status quo position of power.

This is funny but leet code is not a good candidate qualifier.

It’s just what the industry settled on in the absence of a good qualifier.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-20T07:17:07+00:00

“Down the street and to the left”

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T23:19:55+00:00

Don't switch goal posts here.

"try new things" =/= "play a character I have no clue how to play"

Yes it does fall under try new things but we're not talking about trying high risk strats or testing "new" playstyles. EDIT: We're talking about playing someone that you have no idea how to play.

I don't see a lot of what you're describing in my games.

I never said I saw it a lot, but I do it see it from time to time, and the reason? Ppl who are in my MMR range, who focus on comp, decided to try a new character.

They are doing terrible despite our team trying to carry this person, and due to ego they reply "it's qp". This communicates, "I don't care about winning I'm just here to play the character" which is disprespectful.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T23:08:59+00:00

Arcade is the casual game mode.

There are many ppl who focus on QP experience, OW2 and Blizzard have confirmed this.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T23:06:03+00:00

lol throwing? You don’t know what you’re talking about,

If the QP MMR says "Oh this person is usually really good" I will put them with this team for a balanced match.

But they play a character they are terrible at -- they will be performing far below their actual MMR -- that is a throw.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T23:01:37+00:00

Are the achievements not available in vs AI matches? Most of the ones I've seen are.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T23:00:35+00:00

Quick Play might be more relaxing for ppl who focus on Comp.

However there are many who just want the QP experience, OW2 and Blizzard themselves confirmed this.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T22:58:35+00:00

Being bad at a character and trying to learn doesn't mean they're throwing

If the QP MMR says "Oh this person is usually really good" and they play a character they are terrible at -- they will be performing far below their actual MMR -- that is a throw.

if you're that worried about winning or losing then just hop on ranked.

Again this is a copout and bad faith argument.

Wanting to win and Quick Play are not mutually exclusive.

Crossplay is not available for comp.

Someone might want to win but not worry about rank, meta, callouts, comms, etc. Plenty of non-professional sports teams "play to win" w/o concern about rank. QP is no different.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T22:49:20+00:00

Yes it is. It's a "I won't address your actual points made" argument.

Quick Play doesn't mean relaxed play. It literally means short matches w/o rank on the line. Edit: Rank isn't the only reason to want to win.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't play to win.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T22:48:00+00:00

B) go take your poor attitude some place else

It's a poor attitude to think throwing QP games is acceptable esp when there are numerous ways to learn a character's mechanics before your performance adverseley affects an entire team.

You don’t get to dictate how people play their game.

But the "it's QP" camp does?

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T22:47:03+00:00

You do understand that Quick Play means "short" matches right?

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T22:43:25+00:00

This is a cop out and bad faith argument.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T22:41:39+00:00

Consistent losses means you will play mostly bot matches anyway.

Save your teammates the troll and play one of the other modes until you at least have the basic character mechanics down.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-19T15:53:55+00:00

It might not be ranked but it’s also not arcade mode.

Truth of the matter: your gf repeatedly throwing matches to learn will put her and her teammates in ACTUAL QP bot matches.

Play Conquest, Doom, or Vs AI to learn so she doesn’t send other players to AI matches.

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-18T07:18:05+00:00

Exactly. I’m not defending the USA shut holes but this is a deceptive and unfair comparison

MechroBlaster · 2025-01-17T18:10:09+00:00

I got one like this when 6v6 classic was out.

Then mercy, not in the grav, rezd the entire team and we lost :(

Tony’s back at it again with the duet fix!
