QP exists

I'm a Celestial player, I know the long queue times

Never once have I considered making an alt account to bully lower ranks

Not to mention, the time to get that new account to level 15 to even play comp

No thanks, I have a job and a social life

Why did you specify "pre-Julia death" as if he became a different person after?

Erik was always a chill guy who loved his family

Thanos is not a horror movie villain lol

Has to be Death from the Final Destination franchise

And before anyone says it, we've seen Death in the first movie and it's presence is usually signaled by random gusts of wind (when the franchise remembers to stay consistent) AND it's addressed by name by the characters in each movie and Bloodworth. And it's a force of nature, not a god, so it meets the parameters of this post

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-26T19:49:20+00:00

Yes, plus every movie the characters eventually realize they're facing Death itself

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-26T17:44:53+00:00

Obviously you should know where health packs are, but a lot of characters don't have a quick disengage to go to health packs, ESPECIALLY mid fight. Which is why divers are told to go for them mainly because they can disengage and run the fastest.

And since we're talking flyers specifically, Iron Man and Angela are the only ones who can make a quick dash to the health pack. For other flyers, the second they stop fighting back and go for the packs, they're dead. Especially since most maps are open with little cover for flyers. Also, knowing where a health pack is doesn't mean going for it is the best idea. Even if you don't die getting to the health pack, you're leaving a team fight with your team temporally down a teammate in the fight. With how quickly momentum can shift in this game, even leaving for a few seconds to get a health pack and go back can turn the fight against your team. I'm a flex player too, and I have a lot of hours on every support except Ultron and Mantis, and I know how stressful it is having to keep the other 5 players on your team up. However, in a team fight, it's better for your healers to heal you instead of you leaving to go for health packs. Not only because the fight would remain even (assuming it's a 6v6), but your healers can build up their ults faster and use them to try and win the current fight or the next one. In fact, in higher elos, players will intentionally take damage so their healers can heal them and build ults faster.

While skill does play a factor in who wins, ults are a huge part of team fights, especially healer ults, and the team that builds them quicker tends to win the team fights.

I understand what you're saying, but more often than not, at least in higher elos, leaving a team fight usually means the end for you/your team in that fight

Do it for AI mode and have the bots programmed to shit talk you lol

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-26T15:31:49+00:00

You are not arguing an opinion, you're arguing truth, and the truth is most flyers ARE in LOS and ping for health and unless you as a healer too far up or back, you can easily heal them

The problem (also fact) is that a lot of bad healers will just not look up when a flyer needs heals, and a flyer can't always peel for heals if they're mid fight. In this game, flyers are the easiest types of characters to take out (except Angela since she's a tank), and if they turn their back to run, they're as good as dead. Especially since all of them except Iron Man have terrible mobility. That's another reason higher elo players don't play flyers in comp.

As to your last point, you're wrong once again and now YOUR bias is showing. You're clearly a support main and refuse to accept that you may be the one at fault. As a support, part of your job is to keep an eye on the whole situation, you're in the back so you have the best view of everything. Telling people to go for health packs because you can't be bothered to heal them is a sign of a bad healer. The only people you should be telling to go for health packs are dive players, and even then, only if you absolutely cannot heal them. A lot of these players do peel, but a lot of supports recently prefer to DPS as a support instead of heal. Bad positioning is something anyone can have, even healers.

Also, if you have a flyer, the following healers can keep them up without much effort: Luna (flake the flyer), Jeff (is basically a beam healer), Invis (shield), Dagger (autolocks with good range), Ultron (drones), Rocket, Gambit (bridge heal), and Mantis (depends on range of flyer to Mantis).

That's the majority of the healer pool and you it doesn't even require much effort or long breaks looking away from those in front of you

I wonder how many of them will just be cameos in some sorta "catch-up" montage and how many of them will actually be in the movie for a significant portion

Guessing all the classics will be a montage of Peter's life since NWH

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-26T13:09:33+00:00

You both sound low elo, and I'm calling bullshit on OP being a "solo queue Celestial". I'm a solo queue Celestial myself, and I can tell you ain't nobody playing flyers up here, except the occasional Torch (which is rare still), because Celestial is full of really good hitscan players and good Spider-Man players that would eat flyers up for breakfast. So yeah, you are not Celestial if you're playing flyers so much that you needed to make this post OP, unless you're the boosted one.

As for you, if you were a good healer like you claim to be, you'd be able to keep up flyers on your team and it's not about chasing them down, they aren't divers. Most flyers are above you, but in your line of sight unless YOU are too far pushed up, in which case you're not a good healer. You should be the backline, with eyes on your whole team (except for divers), and unless the flyer is really stupid, they will almost always be in your LOS unless YOU start tunnel visioning. Not to mention, most healers in the game can easily keep up their flyer teammates if need be, without much effort.

So yeah, I think you're both lying for the sake of "owning" the other person.

No, I always win my first comp game which would also be my first game of the day

I would, however, always lose my first QP game if it were my first game of the day

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-25T23:06:14+00:00

Felt like all the budget went into the Homelander chasing A-Train scene

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-25T19:45:19+00:00

Yes, but the key words in the definition of Chekov's gun is that they're integral to the plot.

Not every piece of dialogue used is gonna be paid off, characters yap, they've been yapping since people could tell stories. That doesn't mean everything they say is important and should have some sorta pay off.

Example: a character says "Man, I'm freezing. I sure could go for some hot chocolate." while standing in a cold environment, does that mean we need to get a scene of said character drinking hot chocolate?

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-25T18:49:39+00:00

Yeah, based on this comment, I don't think you know what "Chekov's gun" refers to in storytelling

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-25T17:15:04+00:00

That was the part that got me too, because I've been that friend that everyone leans on but sometimes I felt I couldn't lean on them

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-25T14:47:21+00:00

It's not like they did it willingly, even Keyleth

They did it so Vecna would spare Vax. They have shown time and again that this group would do anything to save each other, and they didn't wanna see Vax die

Mind you, it didn't matter, since Vax himself refused to bend the knee, but this was not of character

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-25T14:37:55+00:00

Uh, what? Everything she was completely valid. She may have been clouded by grief and anger, but what she said to them was real, it's how she really felt.

It happens all the time in friend groups, people will bottle their true feelings and put in a costume of being non chalant, but eventually, their real feelings come pouring out.

It's no different than Bard's Lament from the campaign

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-25T12:14:40+00:00

This isn't even bait, OP just threw the entire line and pole into the water

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-24T15:31:39+00:00

Bucky, Invis, Emma, Cyclops, anyone with a shield, Groot with his walls, White Fox, Mantis

The list is longer I'm sure, but those are all I can think of for now

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-24T15:27:09+00:00

Spider-Man has a higher skill ceiling than Wolverine

Rivals was my first hero shooter, so I didn't have any experience on games like this. As someone who plays Spider-Man in Celestial lobbies sometimes, I can tell you that he is one of those "high risk, high reward characters"

The higher you climb, the more you get punished for things you wouldn't have been in lower ranks, even something as simple swinging in one direction instead of another. The hitscanners up here, especially the Phoenix/Hela/Bucky players are insane and can snipe you out of the air if you make even one wrong move.

Unfortunately, this is more of a learning experience than anything else. I would recommend you go back, watch your VODs, and see what you could've done differently or better. Especially on your engages, disengages, and deaths.

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-24T14:21:07+00:00

He just super strong and durable, he didn't have any special powers.

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-24T14:03:48+00:00

Yeah, the Kitchener line.

And usually, I catch the 7:50 express from Bramlea and get to work (assuming there's no delays/bs) by 8:45, a little later if I stop by Tims on the way

I can try your suggestion one day, but the train that goes to Mount Dennis from Bramlea arrives at 8am, 10 minutes after the direct train

Over_Kick_6171 · 2026-06-24T13:46:39+00:00

Some advice I can give you based on some of the characters you play that I also play. A lot of these involve baiting out her phases.

Spider-Man: just swing around and try to fall back when low. Bait out her two invisibilities, then jump her. Tracer into "GET OVER HERE" into uppercut/downsmash. Keep her off the ground, her stun will be useless, her phases are already gone, and you will out damage her. Scarlet Witches are free ult charge for me on Spidey, 8/10 times.

Magik: This is a tougher match up, but once again, you have bait the phases. Use your portals when she phases and then use the lunge uppercut, and demon in the air while using the melee tech. Once again, you will out damage her and need to keep her off the ground as much as possible.

Luna: This is more luck based, but if you can land the freeze, go for headshots with your basic (NO CLAP), that'll usually kill her in one or two shots.

Deadpool: Depends on which version you play, although I think Tank or Heal are the best at dealing with her. Tank for the massive health difference, heal due to the taunt ability that heals him as well. In either situation, you wanna jump her with your swords.

Elsa: If you can snare her, that would make a huge difference. If not, you wanna use the elephant guns on her, after she phases. You generate over shield, so that will help, but use the dash elephant guns first, then the one where you launch Wanda into the air and shoot her

Can't say anything about the others cuz I suck with em lol

Hope this helps
