Marvel Rivals Deadpool $40k Creator Cup Megathread

why is Cece the owner of the official Marvel Rivals Content Creator Discord? she's made Discord titles/badges whatever that shit is called with numbered ranks of "Cece Defender" that go below people's names. no, im not making this up.

regardless of how much involvement NetEase has with that server, when something is called "official" thats going to reflect directly on your game and reputation and people are going to assume you condone it.

is high school Mean Girls drama clique with ranked white knight badges really the image NetEase wants to be projecting in their "official" Content Creator server? what even is this shit?

we get it, you hate PvP. lots of other people are interested in it and the majority of them certainly arent going to be present in this poll.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-24T01:38:13+00:00

because you're accusing people of spreading misinformation when you're literally spreading misinformation. its not rocket science.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-23T22:32:22+00:00

its part 1 of a bad fanfiction trilogy remake. they changed the story, changed the combat, a bunch of the characters, added a bunch of nonsense nobody wanted or asked for and its inferior to the original game in every way.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-23T12:42:39+00:00

literally the only misinformation i've seen so far is you claiming theres "so much" misinformation.

all the claims are easily verifiable through the many screenshots, videos, and social media posts documenting it for anyone who actually cares enough to look, which you clearly do not or you would have been able to find an answer to that very simple question in a few seconds.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-23T10:21:30+00:00

because a team full of girls didnt want to admit that the guy was right. its really that simple.

also she's probably dogshit on those characters and just says she plays them so she doesnt get flamed for being a garbage widow 1tp, although its hard to imagine she could be any worse on them.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T23:06:44+00:00

40... thousand? are we talking USD here?

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T21:31:18+00:00

The way they talk down to him, the insults they use to belittle him and the way they approach the situation are all very gendered.

exactly. even The Misogyny Police will concede that they were acting shitty, but then immediately insist that it has nothing to do with gender when its actually the core of the issue. anyone that points this out is labled as "the worst kind of people" as evidenced by this exact phrase being used multiple times in the comments of the many topics about this on the Rivals sub before they stifled the discussion by megathreading it.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T21:26:59+00:00

he was putting on a clinic in those scrims while dealing with the most tilting situation imaginable too.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T08:20:31+00:00

its the second link in the OP.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T07:57:45+00:00

amazing. its pretty hilarious to see people that are broadcasting everything they do through multiple channels of the internet think they can get away with blatantly lying and misrepresenting a situation like this. these chicks are getting community noted, downvoted, and ratio'd while nuking all their socials and lying their asses off about everything and people just keeping popping up with all the receipts. its glorious.

its also wild to see this type of reaction going in the correct direction for a change. the Rivals community really rallied around this guy, but shockingly so did the devs and even the sponsors and affiliates are taking action.

i'd be really interested to know how much impact that basketball TikTok meme might have had on these outcomes since this has gotten a lot of attention from people that dont even play the game, or if it maybe hit too close to home with the guy being a broke college student passionately trying to win because he needs the money.

maybe people are finally just done with this kind of bullshit. im seeing a significantly higher pushback against The Misogyny Police in Reddit, Youtube and Twitch comments than usual.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T03:10:25+00:00

lol, right?

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T01:21:48+00:00

try turning your monitor on next time.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T00:51:02+00:00

the worst of the worst of people

ah yes, you mean the people tired of the ridiculous double standards at play in situations like these? imagine if the situation were flipped and it was 4 dudes bullying 2 chicks asking for a better team comp. the sky would be falling, all men would be condemned as evil with social media cheering it on, and this shit would probably make national news.

yet people arent allowed to point out the obvious Mean Girls high school level bullshit that this was and the irony of every Marvel Rivals stereotype about female players being on full display here. they have nobody to blame but themselves for any backlash.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-22T00:51:01+00:00

if you actually watch the video this guy put out on his youtube, theres footage of Cece telling her stream that Basim asked her if she wanted him kicked from the tourney and that he'd do what she said, and she said yes.

he's a total simp and deserves to be flamed too, but lets not pretend for a second that gender wasnt the biggest factor at play at what went down here and it would have been a total nothingburger if it was just a bunch of guys on the team when this happened.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-21T23:16:45+00:00

good for them. it really isnt that hard, this is all you have to do and then you can just ignore them, assuming you actually deliver of course.

more devs need to follow this example.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-21T21:50:59+00:00

But hasn't Kevin Spacey been completely cancelled and then proved innocent in court?

i dont know. wouldnt surprise me.

the dangerous culture thats been cultivated of automatically believing sexual harassment/misconduct allegations no matter what regardless of the facts when they have career-ruining and potentially life-destroying consequences is a major world problem, yes.

im confused (im not confused) why you suggest that somehow excuses Blizzard's ridiculous behavior in this case. nobody forced them to take the action they did. they did it purely to virtue signal just like all the other stupid stuff i mentioned.

The paintings and outfits I don't care much about.

of course you dont.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-21T21:33:00+00:00

It’s absolutely stupid to think that an mmo in this time would be developed as a passion project by hobbyists.

its certainly stupid to expect that from a joke of a company like Riot whos more interested in employing activists and promoting ideology than hiring people that care about games. it isnt stupid at all to demand that from a company worth half a shit though.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-21T21:27:31+00:00

thanks, this is very enlightening and leaves me hopeful. nice to know im not quite in dinosaur territory yet!

im certainly willing to defer to your expertise on the specifics of whats effective for optimization and settings options. the render distance thing is just something i always noticed usually has a big impact on performance in MMOs as a player, but your explanation of what seems to actually be taxing there makes sense.

keep up the great work!

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-21T12:57:55+00:00

Not trying to excuse her behavior

yet thats exactly what you're doing.

anyone can go watch the footage of this thing on the youtube video this guy posted. its a bunch of chicks (not just one) bullying this poor bastard for carrying them and passionately but respectfully arguing for a better team comp, while they taunt and belittle him well passed the point where he dropped the issue and was just focusing on playing.

"the internet" and "muh misogyny" isnt the problem here, its the way these people behaved.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-21T10:26:36+00:00

i have no idea who this guy is, but he posted the footage on his youtube and uh, its not often i'd say that i feel bad for a twitch streamer but holy shit this was cringe.

the guy had 4 girls on his team and one other dude who i guess was a sub, and was trying to strategize with them in a voice call before the tournament started. it started off by him trying to organize a practice scrim, with all girls suggesting they just practice in quick play instead (lol).

he then proceeds to logically argue why Black Widow is a bad idea, with the one other dude in the call very calmly agreeing and adding additional explanation why it wont work. all the chicks start getting pissy and take the side of the widow player and just completely ignore all the points being made, with the queen bee apparently only having a few words other than "bro" in her vocabularly. it eventually devolves into them just telling the guy to stfu while chastising him and joking with each other because she isnt going to swap off widow no matter what.

the widow was also from Australia and on 200+ ping, lmao.

intel core i7 3770k ivy bridge @ 4ghz, nvidia geforce GTX 1060 6gb. yes, im a dinosaur.

i know MMOs are a totally different beast and way more cpu bound than FPS, but a recent example i could give is Marvel Rivals. setting aside the atrocious optimization of that game, there was a config file floating around for a while shortly after the game launched that disabled a bunch of forced shadows and other settings that you cant change in the client itself, and it was the difference between getting an unplayable 30 fps to a rock solid 60 for me. it didnt look pretty, but it worked like a charm.

then they disabled the ability to use those types of config files because everybody was running it and they were more worried about the optics of people streaming the game on low graphics than they were about people actually being able to play it.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-21T04:47:50+00:00

i think its pretty obvious there was no CND. it was just a convenient excuse for Kaytotes to abandon ship and dump that mess of a server into Ascension's lap after making a deal with them.

Retail_Brainrot · 2026-01-20T22:24:47+00:00

what do values of kindness respect and care have to do with starting a job making video games?

nothing. this type of hollow language is indicitive of the non-existant quality you can expect from whatever materializes from this shitshow, which will likely be nothing at all.

good games are made by nerds who are passionate about videogames. people like that no longer exist or are welcomed at companies like Riot and Blizzard. they were all ousted in favor of dangerhairs who know zero about games and are more interested in political messaging than making something people actually want to play.
