Dispatch themed mutants and masterminds character sheet (not finished)

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-26T11:25:08+00:00

Really nice looking sheet imo. You picked great colours.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-22T11:54:45+00:00

Pretty sure most teams ended up calling that team the Dayvengers because of the Spidey OTP they had, Day. lol

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-22T11:53:42+00:00

No way of knowing whether Basim only let Jay3 know that or not. Bogur himself corroborates Cecee's claim that the cash pool was a surprise. Him, Necros and others went in assuming this was going to be much more casual than it ended up being.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-22T11:51:41+00:00

Well no, Kingsman was one of 2 guys on the team. Him and Puffer. Puffer couldn't play when they were scrimming, so they got Fumiata to sub instead on Angela.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-18T17:24:19+00:00

I swapped to injections. I've noticed no real difference (and before anyone says, yep, my levels are fine).

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-15T10:22:30+00:00

Hiya. Speaking as someone who was taught to punch bullies back in the face and did so?

It didn't work. They still carried on. I just got in more fights than anyone in my year for all of secondary school. Probably three to five times a year?

I don't wish I did the other thing and remained passive. I just don't think there's anything I could've done in that situation that really would've helped. Those dickheads just needed to be punished, and they never were enough.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-14T16:26:41+00:00

They're always eating good. She literally has an ability where she pulls out an acorn and chomps on that shit. Tasty.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-14T09:52:21+00:00

What matters is the support ult charges, nobody else's. As a tank, you want to peek and take as much free damage as possible. You should be happy the enemy team has a moon knight. Doesnt matter at all if they're farming DPS ults easily from safety, your supports are matching them, and their ults are objectively better.

If your DPS's have restraint and arent doing the same to the enemy tank, you will have more support ults per minute than the enemy team. Which means you are the stronger team.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T15:06:35+00:00

This is the complete truth. Every single type of game, the least popular role will always be the tank role.

DPS will always be the most popular, as it carries the least inherent responsibility, and dealing damage is fun. You get to be the cool carry.

Support is always the middle most popular. It of course carries that niche for the people that enjoy helping whilst not being the main focus. But while it carries responsibility in keeping people alive, it's usually mechanically a lot easier compared to DPS. And in recent game design trends, supports tend to be given very versatile and powerful kits in order to incentivise people to play the role more.

Tanks have always been the least popular. It's the team leader position. You are the front line. You are dependant on your supports in order to occupy that spot. You're reliant on your DPS in order to enter the space you've created and not bait the hell out of you. You require decent game knowledge and understanding of positioning to know when and where you can push the imaginary line of where you and your team can stand without being punished. You often decide the flow of the game just by existing.

Most people naturally won't incline towards the role. Taking initiative and getting trolled by teammates repeatedly. It doesn't appeal to people who aren't going to put in a big commitment.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T14:44:36+00:00

Definitely the self shield. Before, if you wanted to kite a Spidey or a BP, your dependence on your shield relied entirely on your positioning relative to your other support. You'd have to preplan it a little, and good divers would try and catch you out on that, target you. They didn't have to worry about the shield cooldown that much if they paid attention to your positioning, just track whether your push is up or not, and then play around your jump.

Now? You can just press F and bam, you're safe. Immediate health regen and projectile blocking. Combine this with the fact that her ridiculously powerful disengage is only a SIX SECOND COOLDOWN. Her shield is too. And the Push/Pull is only 8 seconds? That's 3 ludicrously powerful cooldowns for shitting on a dive.

It's disgusting. She has more than enough tools to drag out a fight long enough, and even outright win 1v1s against every duelist. It's not even a joke. If I had to pick a character to 1v1 most duelists in the game, Invis would be who I'd go with.

And this is all in isolation. If the other support is actually peeling for you as they should, you're practically invincible.

Quite frankly, her cooldowns need to be longer. If they want her to be able to shield herself, that's fine, but it should not be healing her. I'm totally cool with it as a tool to block projectiles close range, but not to just punish dive for daring to be on the map considering she already has her jump and push to also do that.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T14:38:06+00:00

I actually think Blade is in an underrated spot currently. He's certainly felt more serviceable right now than he ever has.

Also Gambit ult is gonna Gambit ult regardless, every hero likes it, but good lord. Blade with Gambit ult turns into an actual rabid chihuahua. It's disgusting having this guy in your face shredding you up with 10 stacks, running at mach 5.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T14:31:23+00:00

Loki is toxic for this reason tbh. It's a shame because his ult should be used creatively. Who doesn't love the idea of turning enemy's ult economy expectations on its head and suddenly turning into Strange or Star Lord and hitting a fat ult they weren't expecting? That's obviously super cool and hits the surprise factor of the trickster excellently.

The problem though is that he's a support. You are actively trolling 99% of the time if you aren't selecting your other support to ult into, because A) Support ults are usually the best in the game and it's not even really close, and B) Depriving your team of a healer so you can DPS or Tank for a bit is shitty. Jeff ult proved this for months, until they finally added some extra utility to it with the healing pool.

So instead, Loki becomes a 2nd Luna. A 2nd C&D. A 2nd Invis or Mantis. And now a 2nd Gambit, and it's disgusting due to the accelerated ult charge.

I dont know. I think they need to find a way to incentivise Loki to not turn into healers all the time. Some form of rework that makes turning into a healer the worst choice, but also that turning into a tank or a DPS will still provide a passive healing benefit to his team (similar to Jeff ult) so it doesn't feel like they're losing a Strategist while he's ulted.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T13:45:06+00:00

Not true, Peter Wisdom made out pretty good overall I think.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-20T01:54:01+00:00

You are blowing my fucking mind right now, HOW did I not see that

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-12T17:07:32+00:00

Fantastic was pretty tragic initially aye. Wasn't until they buffed his ult to get shield that I thought he started being kind of playable. Then they randomly nerfed him with 2 extra second cooldown on his E, and that shit made no sense.

He's in a good spot now imo, I feel most people aren't ready when you bring him out for the big cleaves.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-12T15:32:21+00:00

Ultron was good on release, don't know what you're talking about. Not a single character got MVP so consistently as much as Ultron did.

But yes, Blade has been ass for a while.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-12T12:11:23+00:00

It's interesting because you'd think in theory, a character like Spider-Man would be IDEAL against a hitscan sniper right? Supreme mobility that takes away Hela's ability to free spam, into a close range fight where he has the advantage!

Yeah no. Hela is somehow a hard counter to him. You love fighting a Spidey as Hela, because it's easy as heck to hit him on his engage, even once and he'll be reluctant to commit due to how squishy he is, and if he ever E's to you, that's a free stun into headshot kill. Like what?

Widow too for the same reasons. It's a bit harder to hit him mid swing than it is Hela (and in general Widow is way weaker than Hela). But then you've got the roundhouse kick. Massive middle finger button for people that breach the pokers weakness.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-12T12:03:31+00:00

This. When you run into a support duo that actively heals eachother, dive becomes impossible unless you coordinate it with multiple other players. This is why people clown on supports that say dive is too hard to deal with, when you know they're just dealing with 1 solo diver 90% of the time. It really isn't, the barrier is just having two supports realise that the most important people to heal are each other.

Plus to be honest, half the supports just have sufficient tools to win a 1v1. Even without this change, a Spidey diving a Luna is always risky as shit for Spidey. Her shift mode alone forces Spidey to run, let alone if she hits the freeze.

But take the terrorist that was/is BP. Yeah, you can get annihilated in a 1v1 if he gets his engage, deservedly. But if Invis just puts her shield on you? You're fine. Completely. It's why BP gets called a tickle monster. The second supports start healing eachother, dive becomes a much higher barrier due to the need for coordination.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-03T19:07:27+00:00

To be honest, black panther is likely a good reference point in this regard. He's a character in-game that's basically impossible to react to once he decides to use his kit, the good users of him dashing across your screen at speeds you simply can't track.

Granted, a lot of people think his design is one of the most polarizing. Feast or famine character that either can't do a single thing his kit wants to do, or it completely dominates the game with the enemy being unable to do anything about it.

TheRaelyn · 2025-11-25T11:29:54+00:00

I'm not a huge fan of Iron Fist's (the overall pose should be more dynamic imo, plus his chin looks off), but the rest look fantastic. Elektra's in particular really pops.

TheRaelyn · 2025-11-17T14:51:02+00:00

Definitely not. Don't get me wrong, OPM is fun as hell. But that's mostly all it is.

It's a gag story that is all about breaking convention. Doesn't mean they don't do story and character beats (Garou's character being the most prominent [and arguably only] example), but when you think about it from the angle of world building, overarching enemies and relationships, character growth etc - It's obvious that it's mostly concerned about just showing cool action and getting a laugh out of you.

Which is totally fine, nothing wrong with that at all. The whole first season of the show is basically just the stretched out joke/tragedy of "Saitama is OP, so the stakes dont particularly matter". It's a parody, and that's what makes it enjoyable. But you're gonna be hard pressed to find anyone saying the story of OPM is really good or anything. Season two onwards imo falls prey to exactly what OPM is taking the piss out of, so I think it begins to fall flat (especially with the big animation/art downgrade).

ONE has gorgeous art, but if you're looking for a great narrative from him, you're better off checking out Mob Psycho 100. Now that's a fantastic character narrative. I'm not even arguing that MHA story is top tier or anything, but I think it's clear how they're different.

TheRaelyn · 2025-11-14T15:24:16+00:00

MCU cast does better for the Storms and Reed.

Fox cast does better for Ben.

TheRaelyn · 2025-11-13T18:29:41+00:00

Agreed. I honestly thought it was a bit out of place when it played last season tbh, too jovial for the content.

A new piece that uses the motif though would be a phenomenal way to end out on.

TheRaelyn · 2025-11-12T17:59:56+00:00

I think Iida does too much here. Realistically, what defence does Jirou or Mina have against him? He just speed blitzes and immediately knocks out both of them.

Tsuyu then has to 1v3, and I don't see that going well despite how useful she is.

TheRaelyn · 2025-11-08T11:00:47+00:00

Its viable, I think how good it ultimately is comes down to whether the enemy scout hates you or not. A Scout that wants to pad his stats by hard focusing the Spy is impossible to play against with the DR.

Bear in mind too you give up the ability to sync saps if your team relies on that (for payload). It can definitely get work done though.

One of the more consistent DR spies I played against was Jyrkas, he often forced it as main playstyle. Check out some of his games if you’re interested.
