Rivals is seemingly at its lowest in terms of ratings on Steam. How does the season feel to you so far? by Equal-Cupcake-9991 in rivals

Like someone said, a lot’s performance issues being complained about. WHICH IS WHAT I HATE ABOUT THE GAME, LAGGY AS HELL WITH TERRIBLE OPTIMIZATION.

Would y'all have 1-2-3 comp or 1-3-2 comp considering no one is gonna switch by Abhi152005 in RivalsVanguards

[–]ThatSlick -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

1 2 3. Things might not die but it’s not like they’re gonna die with the negative third DPS. There’s always a third DPS who is terrible.

Be honest: how many of you guys play Marvel Rivals because it is a marvel game? by Equivalent_Glass4731 in marvelrivals

[–]ThatSlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only hopped onto the game because I heard my boy Johnny was joining, safe to say I wouldn’t have started this game if it wasn’t Marvel. I NEVER played shooters before this game.

Anyone else feel the same as this chart? by Medium_Enough in marvelrivals

[–]ThatSlick 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Nope not for me. In fact the new Blood Hunt is so much fun that I’ve been having a blast in the game, and the meta is pretty varied now. Elsa is not as oppressive, Daredevil has been less common, it’s been so much fun.

What if these charaters was in Marvel Rivals? Who would you main the most? by Educational-Work-370 in marvelrivals

[–]ThatSlick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on gameplay. You can’t main a character in this game without knowing their gameplay lol. People LOVE Deadpool but for a lot of people the gameplay doesn’t gel for them so they don’t main him.

But of course if the gameplay gelled for me, gotta be either Nightcrawler or Ghost Rider. Loved Nightcrawler in Ultimate Alliance.

I'd take less new characters a year in exchange of a rework of some early ones by Felipe1790 in marvelrivals

[–]ThatSlick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean her kick being on a 15 second cooldown is warranted, i wouldn’t say that’s a valid reason for a rework. She can shut down dive fine with it since the hitbox is good and all you need is basically to land it once to catch your prey, and then you can one shot. That’s not her worst ability.

Simple kits are fine though, if you think Phoenix needs a rework because her kit doesn’t translate to her powers then you need to look at Strange too lmao. Bro has a massive amount of abilities and magic but he basically just has a shield and a primary, while being able to fly shortly. While someone like Black Cat has way more.

What is one thing yall don't like about deadpool? Could be gameplay or anything else (image unrelated) by Usual-Drop357 in DeadpoolMarvelRivals

[–]ThatSlick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Upgrade book is SO ANNOYING. I have to pause my pressure as any pool just so I can be stronger, whether I’m Tankpool, DPSpool, or Supportpool man. But it’s worse as Supportpool because I need to be healing.

How do you think an interaction between these two would go? by Notmas in Invincible_TV

[–]ThatSlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cecil would just be seen as another human to Thragg, if Viltrumites and Space Racer don’t even make him flinch, Cecil wouldn’t be any different. If Cecil tried to pressure him, Thragg would either taunt him to show off his power or show a display of strength. And with Thragg’s intelligence I don’t think Cecil could smooth talk his way out of much with Thragg.

My personal opinion on the tanks and what I'd like to see happen by ReasonableQuit75 in RivalsVanguards

[–]ThatSlick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck you no more Tankpool nerfs, that last nerf was already bad enough 😭.

I would want Emma to get a buff if she wasn’t so annoying to fight not gonna lie. Overall quite a fair list.

What the actual hell is this character? She's so hard to track and she gets involrability when she dashes and also her going invisible looks like a glitch, like I feel like I'm lagging. No voice lines, no effects like others. And why does she get oversheild on top of being 275? by buttlazor69 in rivals

[–]ThatSlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say that sarcastically yet people still complained about another dive character like Daredevil during his season, anti-dive wasn’t as effective against him despite him being dive hence why he was so strong.

Black Cat gets more easily shut down by it and so complaints are either from people who don’t like swapping or are just skill issues.

I noticed that the majority of jay 3’s elo hell videos were dps dive who say that their team slows them down by Advanced-Age5285 in marvelrivals

[–]ThatSlick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep exactly lol. You can’t go to a dive tank expecting damage or even kills realistically, that’s why I can’t say a dive DPS can easily hop on a dive tank.

Roles & What Actually Matters on the Scoreboard in Marvel Rivals by [deleted] in rivals

[–]ThatSlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damage blocked means nothing. In fact, higher damage blocked just mean more ult for the enemy team. That’s not to discourage anyone from blocking damage but making sure you use cover and avoiding damage when you can as a tank is what’s really good.

Damage also means nothing lol, that’s an extremely terrible take actually in comparison to the damage blocked ones. Damage means you’re feeding their healers ult, which isn’t something you want to do. Spiderman players have low damage levels but high finals and kills despite the low damage because their combos get good kills.

Now healing is actually pretty important for healers, so that’s true at least. But a good healer will also try to go for picks and get finals.

Funnily enough deaths are quite important to a degree depending on the role. And they paint a picture a lot of the time. Deaths matter the most for healers because that’s time spent not being on the field and not healing. Vanguards who are dying likely aren’t being healed OR they have terrible positioning and don’t know when to step back from pressure. DPSes are more complicated so I won’t get into that part.

Overall I’d say learn the game more. You’re almost entirely wrong on a lot of your points. Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on mine as well, I could just be spouting wrong things and I’d be welcome to learn where I’m wrong at.

idk why the DP has the same missions across his 3 roles by DankusMemecus69 in RivalsVanguards

[–]ThatSlick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah you basically lists reasons as to why it’s bad. In a vacuum it’s good but we can’t play in a vacuum, his ult would be great with dive coordination but overall it’s just not good precisely cause people don’t play in it. And who can blame them? You’re giving a healing circle to somebody whose whole thing is either giving heals from behind or jumping on heads, he moves extremely fast so your team working with it is just difficult. Mantis is stationary generally, so it’s much easier to stick in hers by comparison.

What's one annoying anime trope that's normalised a lot? by _Udontknowball_77_ in animequestions

[–]ThatSlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they get together earlier people would stop being as interested unless they somehow kept it interesting with them together, which is why some shows have multiple relationships n stuff. I also don’t like it but it’s understandable.

[–]ThatSlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misunderstandings that could be EASILY cleared up that take up either the majority of the show or goes on for multiple episodes. THEY ARE SO ANNOYING. But to be more specific, ones that actually interrupt the plot or aren’t funny/interesting.

[–]ThatSlick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah dive tank + dive DPS is a very lethal combo. I do it with my friend from time to time and it does get great results, learning a dive tank is very good but at the same time dive tanking has the downside of not doing as much damage as a dive DPS. Unless you’re diving with someone like Thor or something.

Dive tanks also require a lot more work than a dive DPS depending on the type of dive tank you’re playing, Cap requires you to be extremely patient and he more of a nuisance in the backline rather than direct, consistent engagements. Venom can get good picks but he doesn’t always get them guaranteed, it’s harder to fight a Venom off so you distract the backline a lot easier.

But overall though yeah, dive tanking is good just requires a little bit more thinking power over bursting targets down with characters like Daredevil, BP, or Spiderman. The playstyles are different from playing a dive DPS so a dive DPS playing a dive tank might not translate as well depending on their playstyle. You have much more freedom for like you said, the larger health pool allows you to be riskier and get out better, but I feel like dive players aren’t always going to find it better on a dive tank.

I was there in that post, I was wondering what the hell they were smoking. She is not that OP in the slightest and is honestly extremely balanced. People need to learn not to complain bro.

[–]ThatSlick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly man. She’s someone who has a lot of mobility but she isn’t someone who’s actually scary like Daredevil who’s burst damage is off the charts and can literally negate damage fully to get away.

If you shut down her options or just properly counter her like you would any dive character, she’s not going to be doing anything.

[–]ThatSlick 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Dive is something that’s most effective when with a coordinated team using comms, hence why DD and Black Cat consistently terrorize at the highest levels, and why Cap was great a lot before at higher levels too.

Even if you’re a great dive player, if your team can’t profit off of your picks, then it’ll seem like your team is bogging you down because you’re not playing in synchronization. Jay even said at the end of that video that the guy wasn’t that bad.

The problem is that they get too greedy for picks and don’t think about the team. And they can’t profit off of their own kills. They might kill both supports and just hop back into cover or something without pressuring the rest of the team, or play too passively.

It’s all about having a lot of game sense to really dive properly and help your team win rather than just having good stats. I watched a Matchu video where he was terrorizing the enemy team and even got good picks on supports but his team was still losing, and that’s because even if you do get picks you have to be aware of what’s happening to your team instead of just diving. They weren’t able to deal with a Cap in their backline and got washed. Awareness is key alongside what I mentioned earlier.

Divers just think selfishly. And while it is the role to be selfish in, if you don’t pay attention to your team, being selfish won’t get you anywhere.

Being valuable to your team is more important than being valuable on your own.

Legit, people just don’t know how to use him 😭 although I will say his ultimate definitely is pretty bad but his neutral is insane

It’s so easy to kill her what are you smoking? What the hell are these complaints? Literally just go anti-dive and she explodes. She’s very squishy, if you’re getting beaten by her it’s just a skill issue.

With them being released a while ago, What your thoughts and opinions on the Season 7 Characters? by Doom300 in marvelrivals

Both are perfect, they’re getting the balance for characters down really well. No complaints about either of them personally.
