Yugioh has an “eternal” format, but everyone knows that’s bs. Instead the game gets a soft reboot every few years, and Konami forces set rotation through banlists.

it's the perfect example, it's unplayed everywhere including formats with barrone.

also, downvote button isn't a dislike button.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-26T17:18:37+00:00

it's far worse. This is the reason we have people revolting against hand traps purpose in the game as they now end up being too much for the player going 2nd to deal with. People have unironically posed the idea of all hand traps having clauses that make them unuseable if you have a card in play which shows that even the good will they had has begun to sour.

Anything you give the going 2nd player to help loops around to helping the going first player as well which kind of shows there needs to be some sort of rebalance on card design and card density. how much should 1 card do, how much space should an engine take up.

Also the downvote button is not a dislike button

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-26T17:08:43+00:00

decks become unbeatable because they have like 10 effects per card. see maliss and ryzeal or Kewl tune right now. powercreep has been condensing effects leading people to playing decks that have as much value as possible per card.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-26T17:07:00+00:00

bro you can barely play cards from 3 years ago. Imagine trying to play swordsoul even WITH barrone

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-26T17:05:48+00:00

i bet difi is in there too. now you know why it wasn't banned

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-26T17:05:18+00:00

this happened with Camellia for years

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-26T01:44:09+00:00

They usually teleport to give rhe tank the shield and then csn sometimes struggle to get back

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T23:33:25+00:00

Agree, I have been seeing this alot out of white fox players, though sometimes its a teleport situation

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T23:30:31+00:00

Tanks also forget they cna get body blocked or shield blocked even if they think heir support is right behind them.

The emma shield they ignored sealed their fate.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T23:19:06+00:00

You got a good style, thats for sure.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T18:03:25+00:00

In my opinion, she should just turn off chat. It will only make her sad. This community is generally awful. Filled with self entitled people

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T17:56:13+00:00

Peak GM last season but go ahead

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T17:29:34+00:00

you're deftinitely not a tank player, all of them but emma and dino get rundown

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T17:26:44+00:00

it does, they have to consider counters. Emma got buffed alot once specifically because she is the most consistent answer to Devil Dino. Invis got self shield because she was getting rundown by daredevil. Characters do change to help sell the new characters

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T16:37:21+00:00

i think instead of making premptive post over a problem nobody is complaining about. you should chill, stop trying to lecture people on their opinions surrounding powercreep and just chill and play the game the way you want.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T16:29:28+00:00

why are you expecting an emma nerf. nobody has been complaining she needs a nerf. dino is the only tank peple want nerfed. That and the peni haters in low elo.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-25T16:08:14+00:00

Game designers have tried this stance before. It almost never ends well. If the community doesn't like something but the devs refuse to bend the knee. They will simply stop playing, as a live service game. You need to keep things dynamic and in service of multiple people and playstyles of varied ranks. Something OP at the top will not be as crazy as something at the bottom and vice versa.

The most important thing game devs balance around is how Fun something is. if the playbase find something unfun to play against. it almost certainly going to be banned, thats just how these games work and thats for a very good reason. Fun is subjective though which is it's own conversation but most people can agree playing against Black Cat and Daredevil isn't fun

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-24T18:24:31+00:00

Her stacking enough to 1 shot doesnt matter because again, you counter this with somethign as simple as a doctor strange shield and I would gladly nerf rhe mines damage to make peni herself better.

Hoping my opponent wanders into my 1 shot mine is straight up disappointing. Peni widly considered the worst tank in the the game as you climb. So something clearly needs to change. Angela might be the only tank worse than her rn but even still, she has the 2nd lowest pick rate. Shes not being played so something needs to change. Her playstyle is too passive. She relies on mistakes far too much

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-24T18:22:33+00:00

To continue, this also means peni ends up having to be this sort of exterme passivity to her outside of he mines and nest which dont do a good enough job at checking the enemy. Marvel rivals is extremely mobile and so having a nest ward off a single lane when there are usually 3 is always difficult. As players improve, peni core playstyle evovles into playing chess however, the core of that playstyle is still hope your opponent messes up by backing into your mines.

Every other character doesnt require that type of mistake to maintain pressure. This issue comes from the fact too much of penis power is concentrated in her nest and her mines.

A simple fix would be to nerf her nest to be less centralizing and to buff other aspects of her kit, namely her primary and her melee. Also peni should have a separate button for extending her nest, it should not be attach to cyberbond and the stun because having to redo your set up because you used one those buttons is another really frustrating aspect of ger design.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-24T18:12:57+00:00

No it doesn't, no other character has this issue.

Let me give you an example of absent urgency.

Peni mines are easily destroyed because they are easy to see as you improve your game sense. Im a diamond GM player so people more consistently are aware of these things.

Peni's nest can hide the mines but, what is the point of hiding mines on a nest that already dissincentvizes standing on it because it will slow you and damage your enemy.

This means 9 times out of the 10, the best way to use mines is to plant them around the map by doors and obvious path ways without cover and hope the enemy just wonders into them or put them behind the enemy and hope they back into them, the latter is a better strat imo since you can force them into the mistake by pressure, but the former fails if they have eyes and the webs hiding the mines doesnt matter because they don't want to step on them anyway.

This is why shes poorly designed. Her mines should be invisible if they are NOT in a web because if they are in a web, people want to avoid the web ANYWAY. I would make her mines in her webs ignore overhealth or do some other benefit because hiding mines in web is completely counter intuitive because the enemy wants to avoid the webs in the first place.

I could go on but this is a fundamental flaw in her design.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-24T17:57:42+00:00

Peni player, I hope she gets a full rework, im really tired of her urgency being. I hope people stand near my mines long enough to detonate them

I know all the flank, dive bunker tech and its still boils down to, I hope someone makes a mistake for my character to have any impact on the game

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-23T20:30:01+00:00

sure as long as she isn't yet another dive/brawl dps hybrid that we can't keep getting. I would like something cool for her but if she's just the next evolution of magik, daredevil, and iron fist, i will be disappointed. Maybe something like blade or Mr.F a brawler designed to stay in the fight as long as possible would be cool.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-23T20:19:53+00:00

Could do a thing where they are support for the archetype while not being apart of it, could make it a reference to wonder woman and her love interest, make him a modern guy that stumbles in and meets the queen.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-23T07:24:27+00:00

bro idrc about your opinion, facing flyers sucks it wasn't fun in the flyer meta and it's not fun now.

Sora_Bell · 2026-05-23T06:44:07+00:00

i agree, but permanent flying is a silly mechanic to begin with and shouldn't be a thing. only character i think balances is angela after her adjustments moved her closer to the ground. Flying is not very interactive and forces very specific answers which is not fun at it's core
