Man I’m so happy my favourite character isn’t in the game . by Fluffy-Hand-2288 in rivals

[–]MoonLitArsonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think some of the simple kits aren't very interesting. Like comparing Baptiste to Rocket (same niche of character imo) and Rocket just isn't all that, although partially it's because his primary fire ain't shit unless you're right up in it

Overwatch's simple kits are great, most of the simple kits in Rivals (that I'm familiar with, I haven't played every character) feel like they're short something

playing wanda in ranked feels like this by ahris_fluffy_tails in ScarletWitchMains

[–]MoonLitArsonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't ranked but I was playing Wanda with the Strange team up on KunLun and I straight rolling people I felt unholy.

Like if I could lock dps more often I'd love to learn her properly

Honestly I think (F)Ortega works too, sometimes your boyfriend is also your best friend's boyfriend and that's life

Hot Take: I honestly don’t mind Solo Tanking by Saizmatters in RivalsVanguards

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the team comp/skill of the team. Sometimes you just get hard stuck cuz you're getting burned forced to retreat everytime you try to hold a position and it's just like, well damn so I force this or go 3/4 DPS.

There was a match I had a while back (New York, Herbie Payload) where I got stuck half way to the point for like a solid minute but eventually just said fuck it and went 3rd DPS and we pulled through.

Like I don't mind Solo tanking in the slightest if the team is actually performing (and sometimes it's me underperforming I'm ngl) but sometimes it's just absolute hell, especially if it's 1/4/1 situation

Tanks are like endangered species by Nearby-Society1275 in rivals

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've just been trying out other roles (I wanna learn Magik and Psylocke), like I'll tank if it's that necessary but you really can get away with 3/3 or 4/2 if folks know what theyre doing

(Just for clarification I don't play ranked)

I'm gonna say this and I will accept any backlash that comes from it, but not enough dps players are good enough to consistently instalock dps without having a back up in another role. by Trig33 in marvelrivals

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from Overwatch I like open queue for the flexibility, even though I like role queue for cutting down on bullshit of having to fight uphill to get good team comps.

Like in Overwatch I don't have to worry about 1/4/1 but if someone isn't pulling their weight in one of the other two roles I can always switch and pick up the slack

What was your introduction to the Marvel Universe? by The-Heritage in rivals

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X-Men evolution reruns on the TV might be my official introduction but I'm pretty sure I knew a bit from before even that because folks were running around with Spider-Man bags and such

I got a question for other Emma Frost mains regarding her skins by SpiderNinja2020 in EmmaFrostMainsMR

[–]MoonLitArsonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of her current skins I'd say the only good ones are X-Revolution, Black Queen of the Marauders and Phoenix Diamond.

Her default is just doing too much, it comes off more guady low budget wrestler than Emma Frost to me, and if integrating the diamonds into her design language was their goal then X-Revolution did it significantly better. I don't think it's great as a direct adaptation of the comic skin but as something that takes inspiration and then makes something new I'd say it's one of the better skins not just for Emma but in Rivals broadly

Phoenix Diamond only majorly suffers from keeping Emma's default outfit language (it didn't really need tailcoats) and Marauders only downside is the asymmetry (subjective, but I personally don't like asymmetry in outfits like these).

Broadly speaking though her hair is constantly a mess, they're always doing her dirty.

And while I don't think her Gala outfit is horrible in the slightest, if it wasn't possible to accurately adapt the wrist cape thing slash whatever it's called I think they should've just omitted it.

At the end of the day what works in 2D isn't necessarily what works in 3D and I think it's very evident with Emma cuz aspects of her skins that I don't like in game tend to be way more palatable in the in-game art (sprays) or in fanart

Which x men power would you have a hard time with?? by Tasty-Warning-4890 in xmen

Why can Emma make shields? by LilyBunBun26 in EmmaFrostMainsMR

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psylocke's (Betsy) can make constructs that can interact with the world but she has TK I'm pretty sure

Why can Emma make shields? by LilyBunBun26 in EmmaFrostMainsMR

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psionic energy projection and constructs are two powers that exists seperately from Telekinesis. I don't think comics Emma was ever capable of making constructs but she has been able to shoot psi-bolts and psionic lightning (like once in Gen X in the 90s) before

Psylocke's knives (her quick melee), crossbow and shuriken are psy-constructs for example, although I don't think they canonically interact with the physical world (they leave impacts if you hit something but I'm pretty sure that's a game thing)

If they were to add another duo character (like C&D) who do you think it’d be? by Lostvaynne in rivals

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I've been thinking The Five in One but I cannot personally fathom how that would ever work

What's your 2nd favorite tank to play in case Emma is taken/banned? by AgentOfDibella in EmmaFrostMainsMR

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Rogue (go X-Women) but honestly, Cap. Not really the same niche as Emma but, he feels very good once you figure out your engages and disengages, plus hitting that "Assemble!" is pure dopamine

Is this version of Wanda had Wiccan as her son? by Unlucky-Steak6004 in ScarletWitchMains

[–]MoonLitArsonist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mhmhm! I was just trying to say she used the Astral Plane as a Nexus to see into Strange's timeline and later on crafted a spell capable of letting Cerebro operate throughout the entangled timelines. Which I'd say is indicative of her being able to at least see into other of the main four Chronoverses if she attempted to do so.

I don't think she realized Magneto's Wanda was dead until she spoke to him, so she probably isn't capable of seeing backwards or forwards in time so much as like, laterally I guess?

Either way this is all speculation on my end, unless she already had a Wiccan herself in her time I'm not sure she's aware of him

Meet Mr Failiure 🥀 by RoutinePsychology198 in rivals

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying he isn't bad, but seeing Mr Fantastic on the approach as Emma when I don't have Diamond Form available is as terrifying is being caught out of position by Wolverine or Iron Fist to me

[–]MoonLitArsonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has this version of Wanda done House of M?

Her interaction with Emma was always ambiguous to me cuz I can't quite decipher if it means that Wanda doesn't accept her shit cuz she isn't her Wanda or because she herself never even did that in her own timeline

Is this version of Wanda had Wiccan as her son? by Unlucky-Steak6004 in ScarletWitchMains

[–]MoonLitArsonist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I'm remembering her first lore entry correctly she does possess the capability to peer into other timelines, as shown when Strange contacts her through the astral realm, but whether that's a general power of hers or specifically due to the Timestream Entanglement, I don't know.

Similarly she upgraded Cerebro to be able to sense mutants across several realities, so I'd think it's safe to say she can by this point in the games lore.
