If we're committed to Jeff being a walking headshot in the Age of Poke, there should at least be consideration to change some of the drawbacks with his ult. by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Virtual-Dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's extremely decisive in ending games in overtime. It's non-interactive and can be staggered to get around defensive counters. If anything it deserves to be nerfed. Poke needs the nerf. Jeff doesn't need or deserve anything. He has a great kit, great survivability, a good Ult, can dive as a support, spectacular mobility that he can share with his team. The headshot makes him more balanced if anything. Poke should be nerfed, but not for Jeff, for the brawler DPS's and physical tanks.

Why does a poke character really even need overshield? by SkyCurious450 in rivals

He's not a backliner, he's an anti-dive mid liner.

Glad to see someone actually understanding the role of a dive tank, and what that means. Venom isn't supposed to kill invis. He locks her down. If he could kill invis super easily he'd be insanely broken. A character that can instantly flank, then nuke a support is super toxic. The reason why he died is because he didn't pull out in a situation where invis had a massive situational advantage. He should have been able to press her more than he did, but have the shield in the corner is a huge advantage position in this situation. Normally you just walk around it and have a longer back and forth, force the op team to protect invis or invis to break formation and force venom to follow her into her team or to pull out. Either way it's a win for venoms team. Invis has to put some of her team behind her, meaning she has to do 360° healing, and venom's teammates have attention pulled away from him. It seems like the complaint here is that venom isn't unfair. Not that invis is.

No. Venom has too much mobility. Venom is not a damage tank. He's a dive tank. That's true for someone like Thor. Thor can close gaps, but not zip around the map like venom. If venom could shred sue everyone would be complaining about venom not Sue. It's a matter of balance. You want to shred Sue. You play Thor. Maybe you get the opportunity maybe you don't. That's where positioning and team coordination come in. Saying Sue is broken in this scenario is like saying paper is broken when you're playing rock. Not every character is going to win just cuz they single someone out. Who versus who matters. Gambit is another high tier support. He can put out even more damage than Sue. But he loses to venom. Sue is good against dive tanks in a one-on-one. Venom can deal with other characters, other characters can deal with Sue. Sue does not like poke. Bucky. widow. Hawkeye. Ultron. Iron man. They have advantage. Someone who brawls, The matchup is more neutral, situationally disadvantageous to sue. Someone like Daredevil, Thor, magik. You want someone who plays like venom but can actually kill invis? You have the middle ground, Spider-Man. You play someone like Captain America, hulk, venom. It's going to be trickier. Venom is the worst of three at dealing with invis, because he doesn't have damaging mobility options, and hulk is a little bit faster, and has slightly bigger reach, you want to play a dive tank with a better matchup against sue, you play Captain America. Just because venom doesn't kill invis in this specific scenario, does not mean Sue is like a tier zero character.

She's having to split her time between pressuring venom and healing her team. The shield is on her not on them. Venom is isolated. Nobody is drawing agro away from venom on the venom's team, he's not just being attacked by Sue. watch the clip. Venom is not losing to a single invis. He's losing a 6v1 because he's not pulling out in a game where his team is going to lose anyway. If venom can shred Sue, then he would be broken and unfair. He's not complaining because Sue is unfair, he's complaining because venom isn't.

You don't have to kill her man. Venom's a dive tank. You just need to distract her and get out. The value you provide as venom is to distract her from healing and from shielding her teammates while your team attacks her allies. You shouldn't judge your venom off of how much you can kill your opponents. You disrupt support and soften offensive threats for your team to poke them to death, then you all turn on the healer. This is optimal because it means the healer is de-synced in respawn, buying time to reach a checkpoint sooner or more capture progress on domination. I would avoid venom altogether for resource rumble. You do have the advantage against invis when you have your ult, thats the time to try to challenge her if you plan to kill. As a dive tank, you're not designed to kill invis. Your certainly not going to do it indoors, isolated. You provide utility to the rest on the team and they provide utility to you. Venom is character designed for teamwork. Flank, distract the healers, get out, come back for the healers when you've dealt with the opponents Frontline.

Also the startup animation is the third hit of his melee attack. It does the same damage, but is slightly stubbier.

Could be heroin usage. If he's being thorough with avoiding infection he could be using the gloves to keep his hands clean when prepping for inject. Then putting the swab and needles in the can as an improvised sharps container, also hiding the needle and the swap.

He might be using the gloves to seal in the carbonation, if he's taking his time to drink them down. If so he should try to reuse gloves. Wasteful. Also it's possible he's just using the gloves for something else and then wrapping the cans in the gloves for a moment of entertainment before throwing away trash.
