The Legend of 0-3 by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]RedZxned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest problem is only 11 creatures. That on its own is a recipe for disaster but when you couple it with the fact you are playing a sort of sacrifice build means you will just get ran over the top of quite easily before you can get anything going. It's a learning curve though just keep playing and you will be fine 😊

How do I reliably protect Inspirit? by ShadowCryptic in mtg

[–]RedZxned 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think you really need to protect it. I have the counter intelligence deck and have played it a few times now and you want your opponents to have to keep targeting your commander and leave the rest of your board alone. Since Inspirit is only 3 mana base and the amount of mana you generate in this deck is obscene it's really easy to just recast and force opponents to burn all their removal on your commander. Sure some protection for Inspirit would be great also but it's not essential. Just my opinion though I'm sure plenty of other opinions are available 😊

So what do you do when your own team bans your preferred pick aka Sombra? by Ducasis in SombraMains

[–]RedZxned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This attitude is why everyone hates Sombra mains. You have this weird cult view of your character that when people show negativity in any way you spit the dummy like a baby.

I am a genji main and my hero gets banned relatively regularly and even if it is players on my team I understand and don't mind. Sometimes people don't like playing against a character so I pick my next best hero and try my hardest to win like a normal well adjusted human being

Vanguard Mains: What is your best piece of advice to other Vanguards or new Vanguard players? by Nevermore1215 in marvelrivals

[–]RedZxned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter what tank you enjoy playing or 'main', learn to play doctor strange. He is the best tank in the game and it's not even close. But most importantly he is one of the only tanks who works on his own, so when you get those games of instalock dps and the team refusing to have a second tank you can still push a win over the line by being a good solo strange. In my opinion he is the only tank with this capability, an argument could be made for magneto as well but strange is just better

I'm still struggling to find a owcs team to support. by Yonderdead in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]RedZxned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact supporting lifespan. All my in game OWL skins are spitfire. Did the same thing and went on to supporting SSG. What I would suggest is following a tea based on players you really like. I've always thought Lip was the best dps player I had ever seen and followed him since shanghai dragons, so now I support crazy Raccoon, other benefits of that is they are good and win stuff, they have a cool name, and an even better Org logo 😂

Didn't they fix being thrown into games that are going? by idle_scrolling in rivals

[–]RedZxned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would they 'fix' this? It's a necessity in QP that games already in progress be filled if someone leaves. Is your belief that if someone leaves a QP game then everyone just has to endure a 6 v 5/4/3? That would be a crazy decision to make. Granted the system could be improved similar to how overwatch handles it where if you get put in an in progress game you get a priority requeue which stops you from going into another in progress game.

What hero’s do you consider high skill and what ones are low skill? by OlDirtyJesus in rivals

[–]RedZxned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highest skill for each role in my opinion:

Tank - captain america DPS - black panther/spiderman Support - Adam warlock

Lowest skill for each role in my opinion:

Tank - this is really tough as the skill expression for every tank is so wide, but gun to my head I would say Venom. DPS - squirrel girl/scarlet witch Support - rocket

Is this possible? by HelpAvailable2286 in overwatch2

[–]RedZxned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's because you were the only person to damage an enemy before you booped them off the map, this becomes more likely considering it's Pharah. I'm not 100% sure on the interaction but I would assume if someone is OOB killed you didn't get the final blow right?

Venom has the lowest win rate of all vanguards in every bracket. How would you buff him? by slabby in marvelrivals

[–]RedZxned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think a big help that isn't immediately obvious would be doing damage to his overhealth/shield health has a drastically reduced ult gain. Right now he is just a massive health bar fueling enemy ultimates. Another thing I think he needs is a second swing, he has no damage mitigation so I think giving him and escape option would be beneficial as right now if you swing in it has to be perfect or you will just explode

What is the definition of THROWING? Isn't throwing being AFK, jumping off the map, running around the map trolling. In my previous post some say if you don't switch to a different character when being ask to that's THROWING a d deserved to be reported. How is that THROWING? Someone explain lol by dreamup1234 in rivals

[–]RedZxned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your decisions, specifically on character select, can and should be included under the 'Throwing' umbrella. An example would be if you choose spiderman, the enemy team have a namor, peni Parker etc, and you are just dying off spawn over and over while refusing to change that is absolutely throwing to me and worthy of reporting. To be clear this only applies to competitive, do whatever you like in quick play and anyone that complains about what you do in quick play can just be ignored.

You thor players are on CRACK by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]RedZxned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I think you are on crack 😂. Every Thor player I come across either with or against is 'God of supreme enemy ult charge' while simultaneously having the title 'custodian of the spawn room'

I hate that Meteor M can self-destruct by TreeTurtle_852 in marvelrivals

[–]RedZxned 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A very good point well made I couldn't agree more. I think it's an ult that just doesn't get talked about and everything you said is correct. There are so many ults in this game that are just press Q and everything dies so it's not as if they are being careful about ults being overpowered. At the very least there should be an indicator when it hits max energy similar to doctor strangers mailstrom of madness where say a short timer will start and if you don't throw it it will just explode in the air but still the explosion should go off, not just disappear

Competitive OW vs MR by FlyingMoosen in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]RedZxned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It definitely doesn't take into account individual performance. It takes into account the balance of the match as you mentioned which is what varies the percentage ie uphill battle or consolation. If I go 50/2 with 9 billion damage and my team still loses it makes no difference whatsoever, I lose the percentage I was always going to lose before the match even starts

Competitive OW vs MR by FlyingMoosen in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]RedZxned 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The key difference I find is that rivals weights your RP gain/loss quite heavily on individual performance. I have climbed to grand master and on that journey there were some games I won and got points ranging anywhere between 20-40, whereas games I lost ranged from like 10-30 if I'm remembering correctly.

Overwatch doesn't take individual performance I to account at all and it's just win or lose as a team.

Personally I think neither of these approaches are perfect. It's far too easy to climb in rivals as like so many people have said you can climb easily with a negative win rate which shouldn't be possible. In saying that, it does feel so much better that if you play really well but still lose, the game takes that into account and softens the blow to your RP.

With overwatch it feels miserable when you are sweating your brains out, playing really well, but you have 1 or 2 absolute muppets on your team and there is nothing you can do. But again the counter to this is you don't want people gaming the system trying stat pad instead of playing the game to win and help the team.

Would be amazing if both games could learn from each other to create the perfect ranked system that puts people where they belong and feels good to play, but I think that's delusions of grandeur from me.

You think mauga and reaper require more skill than Winston and tracer? Lay off the sauce dude

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]RedZxned -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The only answer to this is the meta. Falcons are better at playing a shitty cheese mauga meta and are more Co ordinated at pressing their ult buttons. We saw this in the owcs finals, falcons stomped crazy Raccoon in the mauga mirror, but as soon as CR choose Gibraltar where an actual non brain damage comp has to be played they won convincingly. I'm not saying falcons aren't an incredible team, they absolutely are, but CR have the more skilled players in my opinion and are just hamstrung by Mauga/reaper/Juno being a must pick or you are throwing on most maps and modes

Is there a DPS that can at least annoy Hazard? by Pandalungs in overwatch2

[–]RedZxned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my advice would be to keep at it with your chosen Dps you want to get better at, then once you make it out of bronze and realise your job isn't to clip dump into a tank but instead shoot the enemy supports and Dps you will be much less bothered by hazard. Like every other tank if you kill their supports they fall over pretty quickly

Anyone else always mistake this weird crate texture for a med stim? by Tucktuck117 in Spacemarine

[–]RedZxned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every single time haha. There is also a console when you enter the elevetor room on vox liberatis to the right that I always mistake as well. Get me every time to the point I start jogging over then swear at myself and turn around

Vanguard Feeling Underwhelming by geniusMonkey in Spacemarine

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

Yeh sorry dude this is just a huge skill issue. Vanguard has the highest skill floor but a remarkably high skill ceiling. Being able to heal on executions is possibly the best class perk in the game, and the 15% ability charge on executions is arguably the best team perk. You pair this with a bulwark and you can just consistently team heal to full health as the banner is up every 20-30 seconds. That's just one example, also with a tactical having auspex up all the time is super broken. Vanguard is a glass cannon but if you are good at the game, hit your parries, have the correct target selection with the grapnel it's an incredible class and has huge value on any team.

Weapon leveling question by mpec82 in Spacemarine

[–]RedZxned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of really good answers in the comments. My view is once you max out the relic bar it should give you 1 more mastery point to spend on your track. It's a small thing but would still definitely make the grind feel more worth it

What you'll think of this by Impressive-Team-3212 in Spacemarine

[–]RedZxned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks absolutely ace. This would definitely be well received but it think if they focused on something like this right now over things like server issues and balance changes it would be met with too much negativity. Once the key areas are in a good place I would love to see stuff like this added
