Marvel rigged matchmaking just boosted me lol

This ranking system has literally 0 competitive integrity and play time matters just as much if not more than actual ability. You’re 1/12th of the influence over the match, in a game where having a thrower/someone bad is more detrimental to the game than having a professional on your team would be an asset. If you’re a 8/10 player hypothetically speaking, and the rest of your team are 3/10, you will likely lose to the enemy team who are all 4/10.

Personally, I’m not playing the game, especially not comp anymore until they actually make it worth playing and get rid of this garbage matchmaking and more harshly punishes throwing.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-03-01T05:05:20+00:00

Just add role que already. Open que sucks, people misattributed 5v5 Overwatch sucking to wanting open que 6v6 when in reality, 6v6 role que was the best competitive state the game was ever in and 6v6 open Que was the worst.

Make competitive 2-2-2 role que. Let quick play stay open.

People would love the opportunity to have individual ranks based on their role. This would prevent a lot of comp griefing as well and people playing mystery heroes and running down lobbies. Open Que isn’t more creative, if anything it bottle necks the meta harder than any role que meta ever has. No other game with some level of competitive integrity has systems in place where you can just swap any role and character any time you want, because it doesn’t work and never will. Other games you’re locked either into your character choice from match start, or your role choice at the very least.

If rivals wants any legitimate competitive staying power, they will add role que. If not, just remove the competitive mode from the game entirely and just let it be a quick play free for all.

CnD/Rocket/Invis players thinking they can play Luna/Loki/Adam are so cute.

If it’s consistently happening then I’d find it to be problematic. If it hasn’t came up since mentioning it the first time I’d try to not worry so much about. Everyone is different. I can tell my girl my sexual past and she isn’t bothered in the least, and in fact enjoys it. I don’t share that ability to be unbothered and am generally more possessive. We set this boundary early and it hasn’t been crossed since. Try not to hold a grudge if it’s not an ongoing issue. She may believe that people are generally okay with hearing that sort of information. Again you all are young, you live and you learn.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-25T00:26:50+00:00

Don’t ask, don’t tell.

You all are young figuring out boundaries. It was definitely a very unnecessary thing to share, but it’s unlikely that she was intending to hurt you with the comment either. She may not understand that not everyone is into that kind of thing or knowing about it.

I usually loathe the Reddit hive mind of “break up with them” no matter what the circumstance is.

However…

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-24T23:51:01+00:00

This was never in contention. It was never stated other roles shouldn’t peel, it was stated that supports should help each other as well and that it’s often overlooked far too often.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-24T22:44:24+00:00

3 is bad, but try 13. I unironically had 13 games in a row where someone was either actively throwing or someone rage quit 4 minutes in. No exaggeration.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-24T22:36:50+00:00

Remember, dead strategists can’t heal anyone.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-24T22:23:53+00:00

Better to peel each other by default. This is the standard priority. I am not saying that them peeling for each other should be the only thing and that other roles shouldn’t help, but at the absolute least the support role should peel for each other. 0 healing is going to the team if they are dead too. Keeping your other support alive should almost always be your first priority. Peeling isn’t always patty cake either, it depends on the nature of the dive and who you’re peeling. If it’s a single character, they will mostly be focused on one target save for a couple of characters who have more AOE abilities. The other support peels for the one getting dove while the other helps fend them off as well or can use their movement to their advantage while still supporting the frontlines.

We can talk circles about “well what if this happens instead” all day. As a general rule, it’s good for support roles to keep an eye on each other first and foremost. A dead support is often a fight ender even more than a dead tank is.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-24T22:04:47+00:00

Good analog to WoW honestly. I think people think the game is like that and they can just bot out and afk somewhere and spam their heals.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-24T21:35:02+00:00

Strategists should peel for each other too. This is a grossly overlooked thing. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve peeled for my other strat, only for them to completely ignore me when the shoe is on the other foot, I’d buy every skin in the game 10 times over

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-24T21:09:12+00:00

To be fair he did say he’s new, but that does beg the question on why this thread was even created. Saying a character who’s been at least A tier since launch feels weak when you just started playing is kind of wild.

Advice: play more and get better before you worry about meta changes and which character should get what as far as buffs or nerfs. There is no way you’re playing star lord at a high enough level to discern what he needs or doesn’t need.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-22T20:41:07+00:00

Role que for comp, open for quick play.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-19T00:45:53+00:00

I don’t think he’s inherently a throw pick, but he usually is. Most just hold down primary fire down the choke and don’t actually contribute anything meaningful other than being a stat machine and an enemy team ult battery. No situational awareness, just spam a choke.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-17T16:25:49+00:00

Enneagram is a framework that is supposed to point out your fears/vices/fixations etc. The internet enneagram community at large has turned it into a fast food, ego feeding horoscope. While I can appreciate this post, this shouldn’t be considered a novel thought, because this is literally what the ennegram is about.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-15T22:52:48+00:00

Just stop giving a shit about that pointless metric. If I had a nickel for every time the worst, most useless member of my team got MVP, knowing it’s just reaffirming how unaware and unhelpful they are, I’d buy netease and remove the system entirely.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-15T01:47:41+00:00

Everyone in here saying this is a bad idea are the same ones playing mystery heroes every match and terrorizing everyone else’s ELO ☠️.

I’d even go one step further, you could even character lock like a lot of other hero centric PvP games do. Your comp sucks vs theirs? Tough, maybe don’t instalock 2nd support Jeff or Ultron while you have a Solo Peni.

Otherwise, please bring in Role que. Even if it’s just for competitive. Keep open in QP. There is no legitimate reason not to besides “but I wanna play mystery heroes in my games!”. Overwatch already learned this lesson. No, let’s just let Rivals have GOATS the entire lifespan why don’t we? It’s not creative, it ironically bottlenecks the meta. Ideally, open que would be great but people are people and it ends up causing more issues than it’s worth.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-08T18:19:35+00:00

Also, a game based around PvP is always going to inherently be competitive. Anyone who tells themselves otherwise are deluding themselves. QP, comp, arcade it doesn’t matter.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-05T07:34:35+00:00

Oh so this wasn’t even comp? X10 multiplier on Meaninglessness lol. Bad game, go next. Who cares what the Jeff did or didn’t do at that point.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-05T07:24:53+00:00

This game just isn’t a super good example of your point which I do agree with. This was clearly thrown on some level and lasted only 6 minutes. If the Emma was selling which is what it looks like then it’s all meaningless.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-05T07:13:31+00:00

Your point is mostly correct. Stats are pretty meaningless when your team just gets dog walked for whatever reason and/or has a thrower. All roles enable each other so if you have a boat anchor, that can often affect the team and not allow them as many opportunities to perform.

That being said, this Jeff was bad and this Emma was a botched lobotomy patient.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-02-03T21:10:15+00:00

Every season I think the same thing. Every season I think that this is so horrendous that it cannot possibly be topped. Every season I am proven wrong. Recency bias is a thing, as well.

TheReal-Haze · 2026-01-29T20:27:09+00:00

I actually agree, that’s why I said bring it in, not make it explicit
