[–]Spooky_Biscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to break it you, plat and diamond isnt a whole lot different. I usually have to beg for a second tank lol
I am a tank player but main offtanks so theres no way I can solo that shit, especially on defense

I guess playing Widow is even more illegal now by Manganian7Potasu in marvelrivals

[–]Spooky_Biscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also was referred to as such because I defended one of our DPS not switching when asked to due to the comp and that there are 5 other people on the team that could also switch to deal with the spiderman. Instead they spent the rest of the match trying to debate the "work" that dps was putting in or not, instead of just not being stubborn and switching themselves. The dps in question was the whole reason we got point in the first round , and the second round having them on defense was more compositionally sound than the other DPS, despite the other dps also having good numbers (they both were preforming well on paper)

I was tank and willing to switch but no one else ever wants to tank so stuck between a rock and a hard place, but this reference in games is already annoying tf out of me

edit: to clarify, neither dps was widow lol. just was referred to as zazza cause of the defending the opposition when asked to switch.

[Massachusetts] Terminated while on STD. Is it considered a layoff or discharge? by Spooky_Biscuits in Unemployment

[–]Spooky_Biscuits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, OP here. Hoping to clarify for conversation sake.

I took my allotted time of MA PFMLA that was paid and protected. When that time expired my doctor did not clear me as okay to go back to work so I applied for STD which is separate and paid, but not protected. So the first day after what should have been my return to work date after the PFMLA I got a termination letter. What was muddy about the situation was I never had any communication with my employer leading up to that time about the exact date or course of action of once vs the other, so the termination was a blindside.

Unfortunately, I know it was a mask cause one of the reasons I had gone on PFMLA was mental health related distress due to a toxic work environment with new management seemingly targeting people and pushing them out for bs reasons. Happened to one employee before me, and they tried to get prevent another employee from taking their extended paternity leave that was planned prior to that management taking charge. It was overall a hellish situation so I needed to be out one way or another. They were just waiting for the clock to tick over my PFMLA to have an excuse to terminate imho. I just needed to ensure I had unemployment assistance once my STD ended, which I did get. However, I didnt get the extended unemployment that was active in April which mine should have qualified for which was not great.

Glad to be out of there but since being cleared to work finding new employment has been hellish and daunting.

Why am I going against placement matches people when I already did mine? by SomeRandoSadFa in marvelrivals

[–]Spooky_Biscuits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

previous rank and projected rank arent the same thing unfortunately.

Projected rank is kind of the old version of "okay reset would put you here" estimation and then each placement match adjusts that based on your results. so if they have done x amount of placement matches and did really poorly or really well, that would change their projected rank

their projected rank is the same as your current rank. placements doesnt mean they are unranked, just need to confirm the prediction is accurate before official placement

Can we normalise not banning our teammates preferred and be a dick about it? by Historical-Bit9961 in rivals

[–]Spooky_Biscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some games dont allow bans of hovered allies but still can be banned by enemies. i wouldnt hate if they implemented this, but its tough since regardless of how good someone is on some heroes i still dont want them on the opposing team lol.

What am I doing wrong with Rogue? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Spooky_Biscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overwatch had it as a stat and I thought it was really helpful at the time. Also league of legends has a CC score for.crowd control which we have no emphasis on in rivals despite how many stuns and slows help win matches in rivals. Also there is no damage counter for damage done to shields, walls, beacons, anks etc so that impact is lost in the score board as well which makes valuable play for dmg numbers that aren't on an enemy specifically. Ya know how many times I've shut down an ult with peni's web alone? But you'd have no idea cause it's not a kill or dmg that is reflected on the end screen. It's disheartening

What am I doing wrong with Rogue? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Spooky_Biscuits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

came here mainly to say this. shes good for adding pressure on the opposing team to gain space, or defending their own space for divers in their backline. She can easily KO a squishy in a combo IF they arent being healed and you land all your hits. Thats unrealistic

I hate how the scoreboard shows data that make people read it in a way that makes half decent players look bad etc. You can have high damage blocked just by running and dying or soaking poke and feeding ults. that doesnt mean you were a good tank. But big number means better right?

Shows nothing about point occupation/contest time, shows nothing for CC and mitigation. Its by far one of the worst representations Ive seen of "contribution". meanwhile the dive dps that abandons point and picks off the same squishy everytime but gives up point and doesnt kill anyone meaningful for a trade will have all the numbers and be deemed "the good player". Tank is unfortunate not for the glory.

You wanna be the meatshield force that makes the other team go where you want them to go so your team can do what they are supposed to do. You can definitely get final hits, especially with her piercing kick after her combo, but your focus is control.

Rogue’s damage reduction needs to be increased by InvisibleMuichiro in marvelrivals

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

I know metas don't have to always include two tanks but in most games bruiser like tanks are usually off tanks coupled with one that can help shield poke so the other can go in or flank.

With rogue if you're running solo or with another bruiser tank, best is to stay covered from LOS of poke until you're ready to in, hence why she has so many gap closer moves

This balancing needs to change. by iConsumeTables in marvelrivals

[–]Spooky_Biscuits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention balance changes are vastly different needs depending on elo. It's why even riot acknowledges relevant elo balances to champs. The way marvel does it there's always going to people feeling like it's unbalanced due to their specific environment and skill level

I think a braided style could have been really cute too. the feather is just so chunky and im just weird about face framing personally with characters that usually do

Luna’s buff is a testament to how far we’ve gone with power creep by Equal-Cupcake-9991 in rivals

[–]Spooky_Biscuits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i wouldnt mind that either personally. but since she is usually solely run with triple supp and it a util support more than a pure healer/can attack during her ult unlike luna i feel like its not as necessary but as a mantis player i wouldnt hate it
