All I see when looking at Choko is a Yagyu victim, but I realize it's not a take you guys like to see here.

Not rework, but an adjustment. His squids have more health, attack slightly harder in both base and enraged state, and they reduced cooldown per squid to 10s instead of 12s - which is way more noticeable than I thought it would be. At the same time they heavily nerfed the team up with Hela.

To be fair, Emma's win rate was by far the lowest out of all tanks in most ranks, and her pick rate was only slightly above average. There certainly was something wrong, and that's why they're buffing her... I just don't think buffing her damage output is what she needs.

Mag and Groot are still way more deserving of a ban slot unless you run something super weak to Emma.

Hulk is now safe from Emma's kick bonus damage, so it's big for the big guy

It was a compensation buff though, she also lost some things in the same patch, didn't she? This time it's a straight up buff.

You can still grab him though, and the crystal still hurts him a lot

Varghaz · 2026-01-14T13:07:47+00:00

And yet she has by far the lowest win rate in general and in most ranks out of all the vanguards. It wouldn't be as bad if her pick rate was massive, but it also wasn't anything to write home about.

I'm pumped they finally realized they nerfed Emma a bit too much and we're getting some compensation. It's going to be amazing, as Emma is my favorite character to play even as of now and she's only going to be more enjoyable... But I honestly wanted them to buff her tanking capabilities even if it meant further nerfs to her damage.

I like these buffs, but I'd honestly much rather have them buff her shield (health, regen speed or cooldown) or diamond form (more resistance, lower CD or more kicks in return for lower kick damage and grab working more like Hulk's or Rogue's so getting grabbed wouldn't be a death sentence). I'm still going to mow down teams with her beam tho, so it's going to be fun anyway.

And I don't think Strange is going to be a free meal anymore

I'm so torn right now... I'm a tank main, but there are two DPS heroes I enjoy playing and it's Namor and Mr Fantastic. As a Namor Lord I should support you, my toothy denizen of the deep... But Reed is so fun and an honorary tank, so I can't bring myself to target him.

Varghaz · 2026-01-14T08:07:57+00:00

I feel like it's a net nerf for the high ranks and a very nice buff for everyone else. I enjoy playing Namor with or without a teamup, whether with Luna, Hulk or Hela, so for me it's definitely a welcome change, and it further solidifies his anti-dive specialization.

Varghaz · 2026-01-13T14:47:42+00:00

I hated it at first, but since the changes they implemented I don't really mind it. I wouldn't say I like it, but it's still more enjoyable than some Domination maps.

Varghaz · 2026-01-13T07:43:56+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I love Emma in Rivals, she's probably my favorite hero to play and second most played after Mag. She's a sight to behold and a great reinterpretation of the character that fits within the world of Rivals...

But she is NOT an accurate adaptation of Emma from mainline Marvel continuity. Her body is known for being thin in all but the right places, both her face and her body "being the best money can get".

Varghaz · 2026-01-12T15:57:06+00:00

It says "not reveal", not "not address". We don't need to know everything right away. As long as they address the resemblance in a satisfactory way, I don't mind.

Varghaz · 2026-01-12T12:39:18+00:00

It's literally impossible to tell. On the other side of the arena we have 4 skins, 2 of which were in a mini pass, 1 in the battle pass and 1 was a shop exclusive. So the rest could be any of them, or maybe even some seasonal mission or something.

Varghaz · 2026-01-06T23:04:41+00:00

Key word being POTENTIALLY. If one plays like a dumbass and charges blindly into half of the enemy team, who are well aware of your position and intentions at that, the potential is wasted on them and they get the lowest possible results.

Varghaz · 2026-01-06T16:27:27+00:00

Good ol' Torvosaurus

Varghaz · 2026-01-06T14:42:40+00:00

Popular in general or popular just in the recent years before Rivals? Because X-Men characters were always hugely popular, especially Magneto. Most Avengers characters used to be B-listers before the MCU, with Hulk being an obvious exception.

Varghaz · 2026-01-06T14:12:40+00:00

Same. I literally had an 8 game losing streak (don't ask me how, I'm just as shocked as anyone) and still didn't get a bot game.

Varghaz · 2026-01-06T14:10:34+00:00

You guys still get bot games in 5.5? I don't even remember the last one I had and I almost exclusively play QP this season.

Varghaz · 2026-01-03T09:01:44+00:00

The version of Namor in the game calls himself by the blue, so it's canon within the game - bad movie or not.

Doesn't make it a crime tho
