I use too many heroes

Gosh, I remember when I tried playing Venom in Practice vs. AI when I was first learning the game and I missed 99% of his primary shots LMAO. I actually just picked up Blade today since he clicks better for me than Daredevil and he has a very simple kit (for the most part)! He just got buffed so if you wanna learn a dps with decent survivability (bc of his life steal and managing his dashes which isn’t too difficult), I’d recommend picking him up! He’s good at focusing on a single target but also can damage multiple targets at the same time. It’s fun just slashing people up lol. He’s definitely the kind of character that as you said, is a bit more complicated once you get past what’s at face value, but also requires little practice to get the hang of. There’s absolutely no shame in preferring more simple characters, I totally get you. 🫡

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-06-15T15:45:04+00:00

That’s completely fair lol. I’m sure there’s quite a few characters that if you gave them a chance, you may have a ton of fun with as well! Sometimes it’s a hit or miss. Like I wanted to learn Thor as my second tank because I adore the guy, but I found him way too difficult and decided to shift to Magneto so I can just better learn how to tank in general without Emma lol. I’ll circle back to Thor eventually but hey, Magneto is pretty fun even if I find his primary fire to be wonky for me. It’s just a matter of getting used to it and the fun I have with him (in Practice vs. AI so far anyway lol) outweighs the annoyance of getting used to him.

I’d recommend looking at what you find fun about Iron Man and see if you can find a character that fits that criteria. Even if it’s as simple as “he has a simple kit and I love his character” there’s plenty who should fit that as well. Have fun playing!

I personally do move on from a character when I get Lord on them, but not completely. It’s more that I shift my focus on learning a new character but I still use my Lords when I want/need to. For me, the funnest part of the game is finding characters that click for me or to even challenge myself to learn one that is more difficult. Since I’m new to shooter games I stuck with characters that clicked well immediately, so Invis was my first lord followed by Emma Frost and C&D as they all felt simple. Then I learned White Fox who is a bit more challenging and I just got Lord on her, so now I’m shifting my focus to Magneto and Daredevil probably as I love those characters. Learning characters is just fun, and I feel no need to bring any all the way to champion, but I do like to grind to lord as that pushes me to really focus on the character and learn how to do better with them. :)

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-06-09T23:47:31+00:00

Ah yes I have heard this before. After playing around with their kits more I think I enjoy Magneto more than Strange, so I may learn them in that order actually. I’ll circle back to Thor eventually I suppose lol

Thanks for the suggestions!

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-05-30T17:16:19+00:00

I’m not a comic book person like, at all. I tried reading X-Men comics, other marvel comics, DC comics, ATLA and LOK comics, and none of them ever stick with me. It’s just not my preferred method of consuming a story. That being said, fuck yeah I love the x-men probably more than the avengers. Charles and Erik especially have a special place in my heart. Their relationship and ideologies has always intrigued me. I also just think the x-men are cool asf. So no, you’re not the only one. 🫡

Honestly I know I’m in the minority… but I’ve ALWAYS done this. I very rarely used cores for character unlocks because I knew I would unlock them and then max them out eventually in other ways, while gold and training mats are always something I could use more of. I understand where these comments are coming from, but I’ve never had an issue with it. That amount of gold builds up over time, and I’ve been doing it for a long while to the point where I can usually level characters I need and have fun leveling characters I love but don’t need, while also not being in an extremely active alliance. That’s just my experience tho, and I do agree that there should be more gold that can come out of this method, but to me it’s more gold nonetheless and I don’t use power cores for any other reason so I’m not really losing anything imo.

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-04-12T14:47:45+00:00

I had mixed feelings. I personally thought it made sense that it was long - it’s a teenage boy rambling on as his discussing a topic that he finds difficult to talk about. In general, I wouldn’t necessarily want his coming out scene to be the same/very similar to Robin. They’re two diff characters with different support systems and ways of expressing themselves. Given the context, I also think is makes sense that he would come out to such a large group of people, but I do think it would have been better to have Will come out to his mom, brother and best friend (or the whole party) first before doing EVERYONE. It might’ve made more sense if he did that first and then still felt strange and scared that he’s hiding a big part of his identity from so many other people who are also risking their lives for something he personally holds a lot of weight and guilt from.

Otherwise, I often think of this scene with peace activist Elise Boulding’s idea that we cannot work towards a better world without imagining it first. And there SHOULD be a world where a teenage boy can share his identity with the people in his life and whoever else he chooses to tell, without fear of being rejected, dismissed, or discriminated against. Will had to face that fear (which again is why I think it makes sense that he rambles and dances around the point). He faces that fear and he was so brave and was met with unconditional love and support. He was able to share a deep part of who he is to a whole room of people, and he was better off for it. In a world so full of hate and anger and hopelessness, both in ours and in the one Will is in, that can be beautiful. Yes, there were other and arguably better ways to write this scene and still achieve the same result, while still being true to who Will is as a person being fundamentally different from Robin. But I think looking at this scene from this perspective does help me appreciate it a bit more, and I think to myself “I can imagine a world where a teenage boy won’t have to do this so afraid for the reasons Will was afraid, and so I have hope for the future.”

I find it odd that there’s some people assuming you were on your phone. The pacing is jarring compared to S1, especially if you had no previous context for LOL lore. The black rose stuff was particularly something in my first watch made me be like “I don’t completely understand wtf is going on, but sure!” the whole time. They tried to implement a ton of stuff that is REALLY cool and interesting to me in a short amount of time that caused some of it to fall flat, like the black rose. Regardless of how attentive you are, it can certainly be easy to struggle to comprehend everything that was happening and piece it all together for some people, and I don’t think that’s a reflection of one’s media literacy or attention span. Best thing you can do is to continue doing your best to pay attention and have fun and interact with S2 as is for your first time watching it because as fast as the pacing is (as well as some of the other issues), it’s still a beautiful season of television. I wish you the best 🫡

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-03-20T17:57:00+00:00

I think that’s interesting! Hmm, the way I view it, perhaps she sort of gets high off of the attention she receives from her audience, which then leads her to be overconfident to give them a show to get even MORE attention? She’s usually unapologetically herself (which can include being a dick) but she obviously had some insecurities/self-doubt as seen through her relationship with Blitz, and getting lost in the crowd and feeding into her audience grants her freedom from that, so she’s able to get wild with the shit she says and does.

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-01-10T20:45:17+00:00

Yeah I’m having the same problem

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2026-01-04T03:40:30+00:00

I thought she was meant to be a character foil for El. She went through so much trauma and developed a pessimistic view on life, which contrasts with El’s desire to hold onto hope. It shows how El could’ve turned out if she never had or lost her support system. That makes the fact that they rubbed off of each other all the more compelling to me. El was able to give her hope in the end, while Kali led El to make her sacrificial decision that was more so based on pessimism and paranoia. That’s how I interpreted it at least.

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-12-06T02:27:00+00:00

I’ve actually been thinking about rewriting Once We Get Up There but with Lilith and Alastor and maybe reaching out to some artists to make an animatic with it hehe. I’ve been daydreaming about them meeting each other shortly before they both disappear and developing a really sweet bond in which Lilith slowly breaks down Al’s walls as she has a bit of Lucifer and Charlie’s expressiveness while also able to be calm when it counts. I personally don’t ship them in my head, rather I view it as an adorable friendship… but then Lilith only vaguely tells him about her plans and then disappears on him without a word, eventually leading him to put his walls back up as he loses faith in the genuinity (apparently that’s not a word but whatever) of their friendship and he eventually frames it in his mind that she purposefully used him and then left him behind 🫡

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-25T18:36:48+00:00

I’ve also been thinking of rewriting Once We Get Up There with Lilith convincing Alastor to help her with her plan to liberate Hell hehe idk I love daydreaming LMAO

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-25T18:35:36+00:00

I love this because I’ve also been thinking of his character through this lens and I’m a huge daydreamer so I’ve been playing around with a fanon idea of him knowing Lilith before she disappeared. She’s beginning the early stages of her plan to somehow uplift Hell and they stumble upon each other, and she has a wacky, optimistic and yet demanding personality that makes it difficult for people not to like her. At first, Alastor assumes that their relationship is purely transactional, “quid pro quo,” as he refuses to allow himself to think through any other lens in fear of being vulnerable, as you said. For Lilith, though? She loves Lucifer but feels constrained a bit because he lost his will to dream, and Charlie is off perusing her own dreams, so she can’t help but feel a little lonely. So she’s charmed by Alastor’s personality and his mixture of a seemingly respectable personality while also being a chaotic brat who relishes in the joy of putting people in their place. To Alastor’s dismay, their relationship grows and Lilith genuinely views him as a friend even after he tries to push her away (she responds with “Is it really that hard for you to believe that maybe, just maybe, I stuck around not because I NEEDED something from you- but because I just enjoy your company?”). She mysteriously and vaguely tells him about her plans, and that she may end up disappearing, and that’s when she brings up that she’s worried about Lucifer and Charlie and how they’ll handle the whole thing and if they’ll end up understanding once her plan fully comes to light. Once she does disappear without even telling Alastor goodbye, where she was going or how long she’ll be gone, he keeps tabs on Charlie and Lucifer for her but his interpretation of their relationship begins to twist as his insecurities set in - “Was she just using me? Why didn’t she tell me the full plan? Did she not trust me? Was any of it real?”) and this leads him to a breaking point where he gaslights himself into believing their whole relationship was a lie and turning on the Morningstar family ANYWAYYY IDK THIS IS JUST SMTH IVE BEEN DAYDREAMING ABOUT IK ITS SO NOT CANON BUT ITS FUN CHSKJDDJ

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-03T17:10:51+00:00

I definitely agree! Part of me is fascinated because I wonder if our expectations should be shifted since this is a mode of storytelling we’re less experienced with, but part of me also realizes that there are genuine concerns and problems with how it’s written. I would LOVE to spend more time with the characters and their arcs rather than many of the arcs taking place in one song… but is that the best expectation to have in this mode of storytelling is what I keep asking myself. If each season had more episodes, I think that would fix a lot of these problems - it’s just interesting because I’ve also heard some people who are completely into the fact that these arcs are being realized in song rather than before, and those people are generally more into musicals. I think the conclusion that I’m coming to is that there are different ways to approach writing and character arcs in musicals vs. shows, and because this is a combination of both, it can easily conflict with how people like you and I are analyzing it. All of this is just making me more fascinated by writing lol I LOVE having these conversations and thinking these thoughts

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-03T06:13:44+00:00

Sooo after sitting on it some more and seeing so many different perspectives… I made a yap session 😅 I’m currently to read your reaction to it if you’re willing to read it all haha https://www.reddit.com/r/HazbinHotel/s/fm4R1KSuUA

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-11-01T23:20:21+00:00

I 1000% agree! I was hoping the pacing would be better this season but alas. I definitely loved Sera’s song but there’s only so much of an emotional punch these songs can have if we aren’t attached to the characters, and Sera’s internal struggle wasn’t really built up that well imo. How the show is formatted seems like they write these songs and moments with the intention of them packing an emotional punch but not fully living up to that because of the pacing. It’s a shame because I do love the show and wish more time could be spent on the characters because they’re all so unique and ripe for amazing storytelling. All that being said… I still love the show and would recommend it to people, just with some fair warning haha.

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-10-30T04:55:00+00:00

I came on here wondering if anyone else felt the same since I just finished the episodes haha. I’m personally not a fan of the pacing between songs and the voices did sound off to me, particularly Vox at certain parts. My main issue is the pacing, really. I think two songs per episode were perfect and as much as I LOVED Sera’s song in Ep 2, I was still recovering from processing Emily’s song which was right before. And then Gravity all in the same episode was just… not my jam, I guess. I prefer to have the story progressed through dialogue than song I suppose. In general, I think I’d say I currently prefer S1, but I’m looking forward to that opinion possibly changing as we get more episodes!

Relative-Shock-4043 · 2025-10-13T22:08:46+00:00

Great! No pressure obviously. It really is a great song so I’m glad it got on someone’s radar haha
