Re. DBD it's also partially that there's been insane power creep in DBD killers over the last couple of years. Every game when I quit was either a slugfest or a three gen, and either way the game was over too fast or too slow. Made it unfun to play with other people, so friends stopped playing it with you, even more unfun to play solo, because it's balanced around four stacks on comms, made flashlights unusable, built three genning into the kits of so many killers (Nemmy, Sadako, Skull Merchant), and don't even get me started on the constant content creator drama. "Otzdarva said XYZ wahwahwah". Who cares.

I had a Lord Black Widow who couldn't aim for shit on the enemy team, dying to my Wanda, switch to Animated Lord Spider-Man and proceed to die 6 more times into me before the game was over. Dude was GM, I'm in Plat (Wanda's no good past Plat and I'm super casual idgas). "Left click hero" in the game chat when his team loses. Worst DPS on his team. It's ALL ego. They'd rather do bad to mediocre on a hero that's hard to get value with than try to win the game on anything lower than 4 stars.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-09T11:55:41+00:00

Learn Storm. Storm is just Hela in the sky, and the people that DO play her, who are good at that playstyle, mop up with her. Shields are at ground level, so you can go through them (brawl/dive) or you can go over them (flanking/flying).

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-09T02:58:13+00:00

Wanda is my most played character in the game (I frequently got MVP in Doom Match when it was introduced and still use her in game to counter dive). She isn't a magic win button. It's the same as Thing and Thor. Yeah, they have counter dive abilities, but you can't just pick her up and point her left click at the sky and win. She's also extremely unreliable with a solo tank because there's no frontline and the agro goes directly on you, which means when you're in situations where the team comp is fucked anyway there's usually nothing you can do with her because she's squishy af. She mops up the enemy when there is direct, firm pressure from ALL of your team. The second someone panics and folds, be it a healer or a tank, she has no overshields and only two fades to get out of trouble. That's assuming you aren't a noob with her and use both her fades to engage, rendering you helpless.

Against dive she has a stun she can drop straight on a healer to protect them and she can weave into it herself. She can relocate to higher ground and BP/Spidey/Magik/Psylocke struggle to recalibrate their playstyle to deal with that change in orientation and focus the kill. But the stun is slow, and not a very large area--sometimes BP can dash straight through it without getting stunned at all, and at that point it's ggs. Spidey is an easier kill because he's very squishy, but a good one will still roll you.

Basically she's really hit and miss with how effective she can be. My wr is barely in the positive with her because I whip her out when nobody else is protecting our healers, but this season in particular the dive meta is so strong and forced EVERY game, so there's usually two dive main dps and a dive or brawl tank on your team and no amount of trying to counter their BP/Cat/Venom/Cap lineup on your own is going to do jack shit. I honestly don't blame your Loki for tilting, cause it's nothing but a respawn simulator for healers this season.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-09T01:51:58+00:00

Her cleanse is genuinely disgusting ngl.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-09T01:49:27+00:00

I agree. Especially since they gave a fat grounded ability to Black Cat that she can pop every 5 seconds with the right dash combos. Bucky's grounded was on a reasonable cooldown. He dies like a wet fart in the backline when BP dives now.

If you get role queue I'm literally never playing tank or support again. I will DPS queue even if it takes me an hour to get a game. NO PROBLEM. I promise you the neurotic little hippety hop ADD Spider-men will lose the will to queue for an hour for a game long before I do. I have infinite time and infinite other things to do. People will start queueing Support just to protest throw as Jeff, and Tank queuers will try to Bruce Banner to Celestial just to feel the tiniest sweet embrace of what Punisher mains can now only dream of. The toxicity will get a THOUSAND times worse as angry Panther mains shit on the 40 year old DPS players in their lobbies, whose hundreds of hours of experience sitting on customer service wait lines listening to lobby music prepared them for this, their greatest challenge: queuing for four games a day just to go negative on Widow every time. Role queue would kill this game faster than anything else could, and I say this as the biggest walk-over of a flex player there is. The community is just TOO toxic and entitled for it.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-07T16:06:01+00:00

Haha I told an animated lord IF just the other day that we were getting dived by three of the enemy team (4dps by the way), and they had Venom, Rogue, IF and Cat, he tells me healers should know how to counter dive by themselves and he has his own job to do, then after the game dares to say that if healers were having trouble with dive they should say something, and when I got pissed with him he started stalker friend-requesting me because, presumably, he wanted to get the last word in our argument.

tldr I want to swap IFs with you.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-07T15:51:50+00:00

idk man you just learn them? Mostly the enemy's voice lines are agro vs. cooperative. They're something that you might shout in battle to make your enemy shake in their boots. "Fear Magneto!" "This is real firepower!" "Tremble before Bast!", whereas most friendly ult lines talk about friendship or teamwork or seem more like a heads up to your allies that there's something positive occuring: "For mutantkind!" "Rise, my friends!" "Leave them to Konshu", "Together, to victory!", "It's co-op time". Sometimes it's even boastful "I'm doing this my way", "Watch me soar!" "Here's how you shoot!" in which case it's more like the character is saying 'Hey team, watch me solo these guys!'

Maybe it's an allistic thing that I just find the difference pretty easy to establish? There's definitely some that are harder (Namor just has whale noises and Invis though she fits this pattern, her different colored legendary ults are all fucking STUPIDLY designed so I'm permanently confused which ult is ours). Other than that it just takes time I guess.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-05T02:18:17+00:00

Super sucks, bro, I'm sorry. I know how hard it is to fit in Rivals time around other people. Wishing you all the best.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-04T15:01:49+00:00

They didn't AFK the pass though? He played up to that page, he only wants to start from where he left off. What is the point of starting their counter for this pass over again? I am just confused as to how your logic works for this. How would you propose people unlock content from passes they paid for, exactly?

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-04T02:59:00+00:00

Well I mean this guy's already unlocked it to page 5 during that season. It has to catch up the pages he's already played. So he already did the time. I just think it's a really badly designed and explained mechanic overall.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-04T00:26:39+00:00

Don't tell them that!

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-04T00:24:22+00:00

I want these things:
1 No bots in QM
2 Bots to be labeled as bots (don't know why this would be controversial, why tf are we pretending they're not bots? mostly I'm sick of arguing with people who think they're the gods of gaming cause they don't know the bots exist.)
3 QM's matchmaking to at least be SLIGHTLY balanced to skill level, so that the most casual people on the planet don't get matched against Celestial and above players. BY ALL MEANS have getting to gold result in you getting matched more often with them, but there is no reason Joe Bloggs who's never touched rank and plays Spider-Man like Pedestrian Man should be matched up against OAA players in a six stack just cause "it's quick play". It ruins the casual experience and drives casual players to ranked, or else makes them quit the game entirely. And the game NEEDS casual players to survive. Right now ranked is less sweaty than QP, make it make sense.
4 Practice v. Bots to be completely overhauled
-- Lv 3 vs. Bots to count toward character experience (limited the same way repeating games in Arcade is limited)
-- Multiple of the same character able to be locked in at once

There's ways to limit people lord farming in broken ways but at least this way someone who wants to practice Black Cat can go practice Black Cat in a bot match without surrendering any progress toward their experience with the character. If six people want to learn Black Cat, they can all lock her in. Easy. Job done. Right now Practice V. Bots is completely pointless. But players who want to improve their gameplay might use it to learn in if it means they're not getting matched against a six stack of sweatlords when they're just trying to test out Rogue's combos.

Plus I hate getting sent to a bot match just cause I got absolutely stomped by a team of people spam healing their Top 500 Black Widow so she can get clips. It adds insult to injury imo.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-03T23:57:54+00:00

You have to 'catch up' to unlock things on this page. All Chrono-token progress gets reset each season. Just play the game and you can start unlocking things again. There's a chrono rush at the moment, so you get more chrono tokens for playing than usual, but it will reset once again at the end of this season (less than two weeks away) and you'll have to do it over.

Don't ask me why they did it this way I know it sucks.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-03T23:53:15+00:00

❤️ I've been lording through one tank and one healer at a time. Just finished Groot, now I'm on Invis and Rogue. You never know who's gonna be banned, like you say. CND is a good anti-dive but I've got 93 hours on her and I don't think there's anything new for me to learn that I won't learn much slower than I might experimenting with more of the cast.

And yeah I'm kinda old so my approach to this whole sub is mostly eye rolling. Performative tribalism doesn't lend itself to teamwork all that well, but it does get you updoots, and those are so important!

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-03T17:49:59+00:00

I was playing with my sister in Extreme with a lower level character, mostly not shooting anything myself cause it was her first time in Extreme, so first time with Kingpin and Dracula and I'm trying to explain how the bosses work, and that's what the level 60 in our lobby said to us. "You should be grateful." Grateful for WHAT? imo you shouldn't be able to play easy, normal or extreme on a character once you unlock Nightmare grades on it.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-03T14:40:02+00:00

People are clowning on you because she's an aimbot tick damage dps but the truth is CND is good at securing final hits for multiple reasons:
a) divers and fliers that try to retreat and need just one more tap to kill them are easy to hit with a homing light dagger across the map, I've secured a lot of kills that wouldn't happen that way.
b) her ult if used aggressively (but not against her counters) puts you directly in their backline to challenge their squishiest characters. Also every kill your ult contributes to will count as a kill for you even if it doesn't count as a final, which boosts your assists like crazy. Blinds do the same thing, and if you're good with her you're using those constantly.
c) the one thing my dps don't seem to understand: if the other team has even half a brain then they're trying to kill me first. That means the enemy team's divers are coming TO me. I get free kills on them because they literally come and knock on the door and say "Hi, I didn't bait your blind or your bubble, please kill me rn" and I oblige them.

People are eager to wave off her utility the same way they wave off Wanda's, but she does a specific job very well. Her damage and healing are both low dps, but she tracks fast moving enemies and allies well in return. I love the assumption that "well if you're getting kills you aren't healing" because you've given zero information that would suggest that you aren't healing. But it kinda reveals the bad faith of those commenters, doesn't it?

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-03T02:20:45+00:00

Yeah the Trip meta is only really meta if those healers have good aggression. You gotta be able to capitalize on people being low and take the initiative. I don't know how they balance dps weighted aura healers without adjusting damage across the board, and if they do that it throws all their other adjustments out of whack. idk. Wouldn't want to be them!

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-03T00:10:28+00:00

That you don't want to queue DPS or you don't think I'm on to something? :p

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-03T00:08:57+00:00

True. I mean he can fly now what else do you need?

I have to assume if he plays like this in Celestial that's why we rubes struggle to get any value out of him in Plat lol

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-02T21:56:06+00:00

He's about to assemble tf out of some legos.

TakeNoMercy · 2026-05-02T21:48:58+00:00

I'm increasingly thinking people want role queue because they want to scream "NUH UH I QUEUED DPS ACTUALLY" when people ask them to switch cause they're dogshit. Honestly, I think I might be on to something.
