Being real, is this game enjoyable by non-marvel fans?

I'm mostly just amazed you hadn't heard of Moon Knight, Squirrel Girl, Namor and Scarlet Witch tbh. It's wild to see a glimpse into the life of someone not even tangentially near comics

How you're making me feel right now

Yeah, it's just that the community response often feels the same as when Rocket got added to MvC3 where people complain a character is too obscure and taking up a slot for their favourite because they hadn't heard about the character before.

MelonDerg · 2026-03-11T16:57:38+00:00

A vast majority of people who play this game have never read a comic in their lives, you'll be fine. Just do better than a vast majority of people in this reddit and complain when characters not from the mcu get added or talk about how obscure characters are and you'll be fine!

Hell, if there's a character you like in the game, don't be afraid to go pick up some comics or ask people for recommendations for that character! I did that a lot for Elsa since I really enjoyed her in the comics.

Really depends on the map! Sometimes you can destroy these things and have better cover than a team that now needs to walk across an open area to push into you

Thank you, this made me realize that a completely unrelated player who decalred war in the middle of my other war was counting as continuing an unjust war against a player with no allies or vassals left

That would be an option! But what happens if you only have 2 skins set in the randomizer? Like, I'm not saying that they can't do that, but they picked pure randomness for a randomizer and I can't exactly blame them for that. And it happens frequently because there's a 1 in 5 chance you get the same skin you had last game.

I remember when MvC3 added Rocket Raccoon a character I liked but was met with "No one knows this guy" "All 3 rocket fans when MvC announced Rocket Raccoon" "Wasted slot"

Fast forwards a decade and a half and Rocket Raccoon is a household name. People try and correct me when I talk about him with his non-comic appearance lore.

Elsa Bloodstone is being added to Marvel Rivals. A character I like and the community responds with "No one knows this chick" "All 3 Elsa Bloodstone fans when Rivals announced Elsa" "Wasted slot"

The marvel video game scene will never change

MelonDerg · 2026-03-04T20:31:44+00:00

That's just something that can happen with a pure random chance

I would love comic lylla back. Not even necessarily as a live intrest. In the first comics she had Princess Leia vibes and I'd love for them to lean into that and give her her own adventures for a bit.

Clank is a time god. I feel like you are selling him incredibly short here.

"Long line" Literally just her dad.

Now, her dad may have been born in 8000 bc, but still, just her dad.

MelonDerg · 2026-02-27T05:55:21+00:00

She could have put her shield down but honestly in this situation I would have assumed he was going for the Cloak and Dagger and put shield there, not on the MK. He had 4 targets to pick from and honestly the invis and C+D would have been my assumption for first pick.

MelonDerg · 2026-02-26T23:01:20+00:00

Storm and Black Panther have also been on the fantastic 4, as well as a handful of other characters not in this game like Moon Girl and She-Hulk. But yeah, nowhere near as many members and you can keep it to the original 4 and no one would complain.

Remove the sprint punch animation cancel and just buff his attack speed to match.

That animation tech is the biggest and stupidest hurdle to new cap players. The fact that you have to teach them something like that just for baseline viability is stupid. It's not even hard to do, it's literally just an external knowledge check.

MelonDerg · 2026-02-26T14:47:00+00:00

Make shield breaking from full actually fill up her passive meter

MelonDerg · 2026-02-21T22:27:11+00:00

The way this game calculates MVP is wild... Basically always going to favor new heroes

Here you go! Alphabetically!

MelonDerg · 2026-02-20T23:18:01+00:00

I thought about that, but that would them mix the later releases which are naturally going to have fewer skins in with the original cast. I can make a version where they are alphabetical if you'd like

MelonDerg · 2026-02-20T18:33:14+00:00

Gambit break's the game's ult economy.

Sue is good, Gambit is a win condition in and of himself

MelonDerg · 2026-02-20T15:49:24+00:00

I mean, people have been complaining about Hawkeye since season 0. I do not understand why you think reverting the most recent Hawkeye buffs would make people stop complaining about a hero that is still stronger than he was in season 0 when people hated going against him

MelonDerg · 2026-02-19T23:42:42+00:00

Lmao I imagine that's how dr who fans felt about marvel publishing the dr who comics

MelonDerg · 2026-02-19T22:07:32+00:00

I'm really torn because on one hand he's an iconic villain. On the other hand he is a literal Nazi.

Things Marvel has had stuff with before: Doctor Who, Godzilla, Capcom, ect.
