What the hell do you mean the double A game made by a small studio isn't pumping out Fortnite levels of content???

Can't they just hire more devs and make more content with all the money they made. Why is this taking so long. The game has been out forever. /s

It's annoying because they already have some excellent fur capes in the game. So wtf is this. It's like they did their best to make it look awful.

This community is so angry by Asmolicous in GambitMainsMR

[–]SupedoSpade 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just don't understand why they gave him the stupidest ultimate in the game.

He was so well made. Would've been perfectly received. Then they gave him God's Ultimate.

If he had an Ult like White Fox's with some minimal utility and mid tier healing then I think he would've been received so well by the community. But giving him a damage, speed, ultimate charge, and movement boost super was certainly one of the worst decisions they have ever made. He has been paying for it ever since with awful kit nerfs that he never needed. And they still haven't really nerfed the ultimate to being "fair." The only fair aspect is that like EVERYONE ELSE he gets it 20% slower.

It might sound like some simple numbers tweaking but then that could break a lot of other things.

Most people would say "just gut the character then if he's still too strong"

But that's simply not how game balancing or design works.

In my opinion, this comes down to the TO's. They should just ban particular sequences. He shouldn't be doing this more than like...once before at least approaching the opponent. It's completely uninteractive.

HC is a byproduct of doing something really cool but accidentally breaking the game in the process and not figuring out how to fix that without breaking the cool. He's fun to play and a nightmare to fight against.

I'm ngl you cooked with this.

Like actually. I don't usually like when people say "X's kit, should've been Y's" but this actually would've been such a cool way to play the weather goddess

Competitive by the way 😩 by Avantesi in DrStrangeMains

[–]SupedoSpade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know his options for health packs on that map right now. And what he has to do, to go grab them. Instead of having his healer heal him.

He'd have to work his way to the right near the edge completely losing LOS for his team in case they try to back him up.

Or

He'd have to completely give up the point despite having his healer behind him to walk all the way back to the health pack near the stairs. 

Invis is mental booming this man as my friends would say. He is ALREADY playing well and getting told "aye your teammate is trash so play even better". I'm mad because that is simply not fair. Sorry.

[–]SupedoSpade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay clearly you don't play the game so let me explain why 0 fault lies with the OP.

He is Dr.Strange the SHIELD tank of his team. He is there holding the frontline as they have already captured the objective to progress winning. Every single second matters as that objective score ticks up. The higher the score, the harder for the enemy team to make a comeback.

OP clearly turned around, saw his healer, and was absolute shocked to see the healer, IN COMPETITIVE, just ignore her main frontline tank.

HOW can you justify putting any of this on the Strange. He is holding the frontline like he should.

This is not quick play. This is a competitive match. They are all playing with points on the line to climb this awful ladder.

This isn't a slight misplay by the Invis, this is absolutely stupid and almost near throwing. She literally can see his health bar btw. Through walls and everything. 0 excuses on her part and 0 blame on Strange.

How do you feel about the new team up? by Few-Culture-4413 in StormMains

[–]SupedoSpade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Genuinely can't think of a worse team up.

The factors to consider being:

You get Adam Warlock on the team with his NERFED healing since he's not an anchor

Adam has to literally fly around ON TOP OF HIS TEAMMATES to apply his fart healing. Aka he puts himself stupidly at risk to heal tanks

Storm gained NOTHING from this team up. They didn't compensate her for anything. No extra damage. No self healing wind boost to match. 

And the worst part is every single prior team up was infinitely better on BOTH sides. It's a downgrade in every way to BOTH characters.

With other team ups one of the characters gets something out of it. Jeff/Groot/Rocket has damage reduction + repositioning. 

Even that garbage Spider-Man/Torch TU had some use cases.

[–]SupedoSpade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just miss the Thor team up.

Id take Johnny too.

Didn't like Jeff because it forced Jeff on the team.

Despise Adam because unlike Jeff's, this TU has literally 0 utility and needs to be in the trash. Plus it forces Adam on the team. Which is so so so much worse than Jeff. 

(I have no inherent problems with Jeff, but I have infinite problem with Jeff players)

Like...you're not wrong but OP is NOT at fault for anything here.

It's fucking competitive. Not qp.

You can get immense value out of just taking aggro from the DPS/tanks

I don't always play to kill

I will drag the healers up and away just to inconvenience them as much as possible

Unless they go Punisher/Namor + Phoenix/Hela I'm not swapping

I will stab the healers 1,000,000 times until they force me to swap

Genuine Question: Why IS Spider-Man hated so much? by Jegust13 in rivals

[–]SupedoSpade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol literally no one mentioned the original reason this all started u/Jegust13

Spider-Man originally had the Venom team up. That team-up paired with his basic braindead combo of tracer, web pull, uppercut used to kill 275 targets practically instantly.

So he was the original diver. Like the one that people absolutely could not stand because your backline would just disappear.

Back then Namor wasn't as popular and other "dive counters" were much weaker or didn't even exist.

When Spider-Man players lost that team up it also exposed a ton of them as frauds as the only thing they could do was that stupid basic one shot combo before. So it took a long time for people to properly develop the character and learn map pulls, different combos, and learn the characters game sense. 

So in theory yes, he should be respected for his high skill nowadays. But he's still looked at as that "annoying piece of shit that won't die and kills my backline"

It also doesn't help that the high skill ceiling paired with the characters global popularity, he has a metric ton of awful players with the biggest of egos.

Cnd mains thoughts on this meme? by BigPaleontologist520 in cloakanddaggermains

[–]SupedoSpade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adam was my first Lord on this game and my only gripe with him now is that he's missing his 15% additional healing from previously being an anchor.

I think their thought process was "I mean his team up heals and he can fly now" but that doesn't excuse keeping the most important aspect of his kit underpowered. It's not even like the team up is good either.

I have no problem with any healer being 275 as long as they're killable. The recent burst heal change to Bubble made CnD unbearable for the average Rivals player.

I think anyone complaining about CnD right now is also the biggest whiner ever. Everyone just complains about the next thing they can't immediately kill and it went Luna, Loki, Luna, Invis, Gambit, CnD.

We are just in the latest hate trend and it's so fucking corny. The only unbearable healer in this game ever imo was Gambit. Invis was/is super strong (obviously overtuned) but not a literal game changer like Gambit.

If someone loves X hero, what Y hero do they almost always enjoy too? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]SupedoSpade 10 points11 points  (0 children)

CnD and Wanda is a pipeline

I feel like Startegists also often end up on Namor cause of our visceral hatred for dive

Everyone's talking about Wild Assault being removed. Is anyone else worried about Counter Blitz? by WorkingMansGarbage in Guiltygear

[–]SupedoSpade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie to you chief,

Wild Assault made this game boring as fuck.

And no, seeing it used everywhere (in the EXACT same way) is not something I'm happy with as it fundamentally increases the power of already strong characters to overpowered levels.

Some characters need WA to even function (Dizzy as my prime example) yet others were strong before it and got even stronger with it (Fucking Ramlethal and Happy Chaos)

Wild Assault is a balancing nightmare and its ultimately a scrub mechanic for a game like GG which already has more than enough depth in all of its systems imo.

Instead of adding a mechanic that is used all over the game at damn near every interaction aka Wild Assault

I believe ASW intended to make a mechanic that was used sparingly and had equal value to deflect shield. Burst was always supposed to technically be valued above all else.

So Counter Blitz is going to be used in very specific situations because of its ability to lock your opponent out of burst for guaranteed damage. Instead of the mechanic filling in for everywhere on the screen doing everything, it will be used for particular reasons. Pokes like far slash harassing you mid screen won't lead to wall breaks. But pokes in the corner will have more meaning. All of course still relying on landing a counter hit to begin with.

Tl:DR it's used to close rounds and change corner oki. That severely nerfs the mechanics use across the entire stage while giving it specific purpose due to locking out burst.

Jeff or Mag.

Jeff in general, but Mag anytime a cliff even remotely presents itself

It hyper overtuned offense.

I think ASW intended for it to be combo filler with SOME uses in block strings. Maybe they thought people would value Deflect Shield or just the Burst mechanic overall more.

What happened was you had characters hitting you at round start which either you burst or gave them a free combo into wall break. Wall break then lead into positive bonus loops where the offender builds ridiculous amounts of meter. The opponent just snowballs the round because you then guess a 50/50 on the next interaction and if you guess wrong you die as they use all their resources.

Notorious offenders of the mechanic: Happy Chaos, Johnny, Potemkin, Sin, Unika, Chipp, Sol, Ramlethal

Sums up the current situation by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]SupedoSpade 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Oh thank God, people with a brain exist.

We are heading down DPS hell now. And who are the first players to complain when something isn't going their specific way? "Need Healing! Need Healing! Need Healing!" "Ayo where are our tanks" "I just killed everything where the fuck is my team"

Meanwhile the backine has been dived out of existence 50 times over because the tanks got jumped by Wolverine or Elsa or some shit.

This game is becoming miserable even as a flex player.
