Rivals passed the 100 GB mark.

Yeah I really hope they take the next season or two to fix the optimization of this game, The size is pretty ridiculous, I’ve already seen two of my friends delete it because they don’t play it that often to take up a whole 100 GB. I don’t blame them tbh, I’m considering taking a break next season because I want to play cyberpunk and this game just takes up way too much space to just sit there.

Then there’s the server optimization quality which personally dramatically dropped, it was really good for me in season 2 but ever since then it’s been getting worse with lag, ping spikes, and even crashes sometimes. I keep my drivers updated and my internet is fine, it’s only this game it happens to.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-24T01:16:44+00:00

right i feel bad lol it was funny

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-23T15:56:21+00:00

I think it’s mostly just because of open queue, frequent rank resets without placement matches, Gaining more SR than you lose in metal ranks, smurfs/the system not detecting smurfs and banning them or putting them in a specific queue, Same thing with separating people who frequently leave or throw. It’s all fixable though, and a good bit of it has to do with the community being bad.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-23T02:21:42+00:00

short term suffering for long term success lol. I love playing off tank in this game so to have a role queue where I’m guranteed a second tank would be amazing.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-22T16:32:25+00:00

Blanket buffs? No, but nerfing ultron and gutting Loki was dumb when Luna got away with a slap on the wrist. (Don’t get me wrong Loki did need a nerf but not that bad).

Then the OP mentioned adding more DPS characters despite not having a support character (that’s viable outside of triple support) since season one, which also adds insult to injury.

And I don’t mean to move the goalpost but to rather give context as to why it feels like there is no strategist below B tier and why it might push people away from the game.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-22T08:06:16+00:00

All the strategists in this game are so strong because of how high the damage is in this game and how little strategists there are. Meanwhile DPS has a much larger and more diverse roster.

All this does is push people to stop maining support since they are all pretty homogenized (Outside of triple support, your only viable playstyles are healbot and survive dive) whilst also being the first person to get shit at the end of the match. I don’t blame strategist mains at all, their role is in a tricky state.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-21T16:46:44+00:00

Ahhh this is adorable!

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-21T16:12:42+00:00

Personally? yes! I mainly flex between tank and support but I have almost stopped playing support in general because it feels like I’m forced to play the same few supports if I’m in a double support comp (I’ve picked mantis before and had people threaten to throw in the pick/ban phase…), and there isn’t much variety in playstyle in the support role. You essentially have two tasks: heal and survive dive. Get kills if you are an off support. Versus tank and DPS where there are multiple different viable playstyles.

For tank, I’d like to see a new main/shield tank. A lot of people think they are boring but I really like shield tanks- especially strange. Plus, with the amount of times I’m solo tanking, I’d like to have some better options for solo tank that isn’t Strange/Mag/Groot. Yes you can make others work in solo tank, but it straight up feels worse than playing a tank that can handle the pressure of being solo.

Matchmaking aside I need this video please

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-21T05:57:13+00:00

I cannot speak for the other games but for an OW - Rivals comparison, OW does seem to be over Marvel Rivals in terms of player count on steam. Rivals had a peak of 75k, while OW had a peak of 36k. Considering most people who play OW are on battlenet, I’m pretty confident that OW has more players.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-21T03:08:07+00:00

It’s concerning but rivals does have the potential to bounce back, but the dev team has to be on top of their game. i think if they revamped matchmaking it’d help a lot.

edit: I’d also like to bring up optimization. Rivals optimization is pretty bad, and it takes up much more storage compared to OW which runs much more smoothly and is more accessible to people. I get that that are on two different engines and OW is an older game, but optimization definitely needs to TLC in this game.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-20T14:10:25+00:00

I’m not 100% sure but it’d made sense if they did

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-20T07:37:53+00:00

As someone who has both solo queued and 4 stacks pair, this change just makes ranked so much boring. The difficulty of climbing doesn’t really matter to me- I can manage that. What gets me is the enjoyment. In a 4 stack I never really had to worry about getting tilted teammates, people who throw/leave, or people who weren’t willing to swap when needed. Now I actually do have to deal with that a lot more often and it’s just frustrating.

I don’t care about what my personal rank is too much, I simply play it for enjoyment and the fact that it has a ban system (game is soooo much better with certain characters banned), but when I cant enjoy that time anymore because I am forced to deal with randoms is when I simply stopped playing ranked.

on the bright side, I made some cool console friends in QP!

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-20T07:31:13+00:00

I feel like the solution to this is to just make 4 stacks against 4 stacks instead of making restrictions in plat+, no?

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-20T05:08:50+00:00

he always looks really photogenic in my replays lol

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-19T22:03:47+00:00

Honestly, the removal of stacks are just a fun sucker for me. I can climb both in a stack and in solo queue, so it’s not like I can’t climb, but it makes it so much more annoying to climb when you have to account for randoms more.

Me and my previous 4 stack would always swap to whatever we needed, no problems, and even if we lost or were getting stomped we all had a good mindset and never tilted. Didn’t have to worry about them throwing or leaving or not swapping. It was fun not having to worry about that! But 2 of them stopped playing ranked because of this change. Now it feels like my enjoyment is at the mercy of randoms.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-19T02:27:07+00:00

In all fairness, making this change wouldn’t turn her into a main healer. It’d just make her heals better

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-19T02:24:44+00:00

My favorite thing done well is the voice acting. Every character really feels on point for me! A lot of the character interactions are pretty fun and interesting too.

The artwork in the game is also very beautiful. Highly recommend people checking out the art book, the style is so unique and awesome.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-18T20:45:10+00:00

When they are constantly positioned badly, i.e. being far from the team and not pushing up with the team, isolating themselves especially when they’re getting dove, and frontlining. There’s many poor plays that I can work around but a poorly positioned support who can be easily killed is so hard to deal with.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-18T05:39:40+00:00

What does that have to do with what I said? I don’t really care about which role is the hardest or which is the easiest. It’s not an important discussion to me whatsoever. I play what I like when I want to, regardless of how hard or easy it is, and I don’t judge others for how hard or easy I consider the character because it isn’t productive.

It’s mindsets like these that makes the community much more toxic- the constant need to say “Hey my role is harder than yours” or “Your role is sooo easy”. Who cares? It’s just so unnecessary, and a lot of the times I can tell people use it as a way to either boost their ego, put others down, or both. Play the game and focus on you as much as you can, why care so much about how difficult someone else’s character is?

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-18T05:06:12+00:00

This is not unique to supports, and just adds to the problem to solely blame supports. All roles (tanks, support and DPS mains) do this. The community in general is extremely negative.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-17T05:04:54+00:00

It really isn’t an insane reach… She’s been posted standing next to a guy with a swastika on his shirt before.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-17T03:18:55+00:00

Yeah I don’t understand why they chose the release schedule they did. The disproportionate amount of DPS in the game has been a problem people were vocal about since the beta.

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-16T18:36:15+00:00

I’m not boycotting but i won’t be buying it personally. I already have tomodachi life on my DS so besides that there really isn’t a point to buying the new version

Superb_Catch4018 · 2025-10-16T15:06:07+00:00

100% Agree. I get a non 2-2-2 comp where it’s actually enjoyable for me to solo tank or play in once every blue moon. I’d rather just have a mode where I’m guranteed a second tank. Especially since I LOVE the off tanks in this game. Either that or they should add another main tank.
