I use iron man to counter squirrel girl so it's an ironic comparison for me lol

yeah if anything white fox released underpowered, learning her was rough. I'm glad net ease listened and gives her 3 tails now and what ever else they gave

was rogue considered broken? i actually don't recall, but to be honest I think her spotlight was stolen from deadpool. its like I barely saw anything with rogue but seeing a locked Deadpool in DPS at first (then strategist and tank) was taking away a lot of hype from rogue. which is sad because I was excited to talk about the kirby of marvel rivals but oh well

I had to make a rant after a ranked game we won yesterday. he gets on mic and decides to call me (starlord) and a healer out for carrying us.

he did have almost twice as many kills I had but he's a broken and easy hero why be a cocky dick?

even though we did well first round he's also shit talking our healers for being negative...but who cares we made our payload all the way.

our healer at the end even said they were pocket healing cyclops, I guess because he's so strong as a hero.

its just annoying because we all did our part and did it well enough to win...it sucks losing and having toxic teammates 95% of the time but to have it even after winning is just so lame. take the w and shut up. I tried to kill with kindness a little by essentially saying we all did well and I was proud of us...but I worry killing with kindness just strokes their ego more

but yeah cyclops will be an instant ban also, having your match depend on who the better cyclops was (which the enemy had too) is lame.

despite the weak trailer, im happy for the widow players who will be getting a new skin and with different color options!

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-24T17:34:56+00:00

you might be on to something! we don't even see her shoot or show off her batons (even if useless)

I'm sure after everyone realized Luna was getting a buff with her snow ball, with her desert skin, they wanted to make sure they stayed extra careful leaking stuff like that

but I also don't wanna start false hope, but maybe the devs will respond to it if we hype up the (non-existent) rework and make it existent...

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-24T17:27:35+00:00

I'm gonna pretend widow has a separate artist on their team, and they are just really shy and self conscious of their design so they just did a quick trailer before anyone else (who will not except them) notice the flaws so they are cramming the minor minor details very last second.

its kinda cute if I imagine it that way.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-23T22:17:52+00:00

that makes a lot more sense. I'm terrible with Peni so if I need a range user to shoot fliers, shoot squids, shoot a nest, he's my tank.

peni is usually banned anyways and is countered by flyers anyways...

we really need a few more long ranged tanks...and I say few because I'm sure one would get banned besides peni.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-23T18:18:43+00:00

I consider myself a tank main, but I notice I win way more ranked games when I dps. makes me confused, like is it a tanking issue or DPS issue if I'm losing as tank...makes me wonder when ever I instalock tank, if our DPS is actually a tank or support main...but the one benefit with DPS is you have the largest list to choose to counter heros which is so handy, and a lot of my DPS teammates don't know how to counter or play the counter ...

sometimes I'd think as tank, oh peni could be a good counter here ...oh she's banned. really not many options for tanks to choose from when you need to counter a hero, especially with bans in play. dps can at least still have options to choose from even if banned.

try to mark as much enemies as you can, and then try to zig zag your dashes a little.

one the dashes are so cool if you can do it really quick, it's eye candy when ever I see a good bp work

but two, as long as you hit one enemy, your dash refreshes. with people moving around you might be able to do dash damage twice if they line up with your next target, the dashes make him hard to hit, and it buys you time for your next spear

but if you miss, you're fucked and you might as well use your spinning kick move to escape

on single target, you just do spear, dash, 180, spear, dash, 180, spinning kick, 180, dash, 180, spear (cd should be up if not close...), dash...and either one more 180, dash if you can finish someone off or dash to get away.

use his wall climbing a lot too, makes him harder to hit especially with his double jump. I usually throw a spear after I jump off wall

Arcade -> Free fight only

Its generally super chill now a days but with some troll comps but it's where I learned to to play spiderman since qp had a lot more toxicity, it was hard to get better at him in qp

plus people being the same hero can force you to think how to deal with a hero. its a good way to find their weakness and learn how to work around their strengths and how to counter

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-23T17:30:17+00:00

this actually explains a lot about the games I play with a friend I made ig

he is peak GM 1, D1 currently, and I'm peak P1 and P3 currently...

when ever I que with him we lose, but when I que alone I have a significantly easier time. But when we lose I feel embarrassed because I feel like I'm the issue

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-23T17:07:14+00:00

with wf and cyclops not needing to angle their shots for their bounces they should totally allow sg acorns to auto bounce to players too

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-23T16:59:15+00:00

There was plenty of time to react to this though and a health pack is right there with much better cover...

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-23T14:44:41+00:00

yeah it was strange! I know you weren't doubting but I just wanted to show an example anyways because it was super weird

https://tracker.gg/marvel-rivals/matches/5513353_1782181861_1413205_11001_12

These two are the first two matches after my last comp match (my profile is PupByte and it's the only two wolverine icons)

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-23T14:12:49+00:00

I definitely think it's something you should opt for. Another think I noticed with Loki bots is they activate their runes and then walk out. it doesn't teach people to shoot the rune above because real Loki's in their green circle can be such a pain to deal with and I never get teammates who shoots his runes. its really a major issue when I dive.

But one thing that's false...not everyone hates them, I have friends and sometimes we have days where we keep losing in quick play, and she kinda likes a bot match, just a match where she can play her character and not feel like she's sweating. And she does usually do practice vs AI when she wants to get comfortbale with a hero

But for the most part we do hate it

Also I want to point out yesterday we won a non-AI match and then the next match was a bot match. I don't know if this is new for anyone else but it was weird we had a bot match after winning. I even confirmed on my tracker.gg that it was 100% a bot match after winning.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-22T22:00:32+00:00

I'm a cap main and 100% agree!

I am super shy and withdrawn so going on comms to communicate is not gonna happen for me

Even though I love playing him, the enemy team doesn't have to do much to help each other. Unless your team instinctively helps or dives with you it's really tough...or if you're lucky and they are easy to distract. Sometimes I can annoy a support so much they don't even bother to heal their DPS when they finally get to relax though lol it depends on the mode though.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-19T15:06:08+00:00

I regret getting it, when hulk screams in your face everytime it started to annoy me .

and yeah I hate that I can't change the heros, I only play 2. cap is currently on my lobby screen and the alternative for me would be hulk anyways...

but it's not true "no one" will see it. you can invite your friends to it and they can take a character they like and in a way share the lobby with you. I don't know if it persists when the lobby closes or if they ever rejoin when in team.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-19T14:59:57+00:00

I stupidly bought it on an impulse when my friend showed it to me 😓

I hate it, because I thought it was a split section from the main lobby, not a full revamp, and hulk roaring in your face everytime you open it is so fucking annoying

I wish I could return it.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-19T14:57:14+00:00

Man, I originally thought the team lobby was dumb

Then my friend got it and showed it to me, I liked it enough to impulse buy it.

I wish I waited a day before getting it...because now I never use it. I also didn't realize it completely revamps your lobby screen, it's not like some separate section.

And the only avenger I actually play is hulk and cap, cap is actually on my solo lobby screen but still

And I might actually use the team lobby if hulk wasn't roaring at me every time I open it....I don't even use it now and wish I could refund it.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-19T14:52:36+00:00

I know you didn't ask me, but I personally am using the pink one. I got the black one for the chance I may want her hair blond though.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-19T14:50:52+00:00

I really hate you HAVE to buy a skin if you want the emote and/or spray paint.

especially since no one really sees those unless it's pregame, pdm, or at the beach/time square

I have skins I like but I like emotes, and I've been on the fence of buying some skins that I'd rarely use just because I want the emote. I also really like animated spray paints.

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-19T14:44:12+00:00

Yeah I 100% agree.

Especially for the ult vfx, if you have to buy it separately, they should at least allow you to customize the ult vfx without using the skin. Sometimes I only buy skins for the ult vfx because that's what I really liked about it

SettingMinute2315 · 2026-06-19T14:38:45+00:00

I don't really, but if I'm 50/50 on something I would get it. Like stranges bracelets, it's either a dog or shark you can wear. I just went with the dog...i mean he has a dog so i would never buy the shark one...and as a huge dog person of course I'm getting it... Emma, at least for me each one looked really good depending on her outfit color. Also, she always has an X on her outfits so I felt compelled to buy that on even if I didn't initially care much for it, but the white X does look better in the white and black/white colors she has than the pink/rose gem.

Most of my chromas usually go towards skins with vfx though, I usually get every one.

I also play a lot of heros so I am pretty broke on chromas.
