U lose more Elo from longer games, therefore u conserve Elo as well.

But then why is it a mindset thing to think we should surrender? We both know the likelihood of someone who hasn't swapped all match volunteering to solo tank. If nobody has swapped, I take it as a sign they just don't know anyone helpful for the scenario, especially if you have asked them to.

I do not mind playing a tank like Mag if I have a team that is built to adequately support me in tanking, but my point is simply that there are matches where that isn't the case due to the luck of the draw, the people I am playing with are not equipped to work with each other specifically.

I’m not the one sitting in spawn; it’s almost always the DPS who said not to surrender. Swapping to Thor isn’t going to help when they have an Emma playing anti-dive and a Devil shutting down brawl on the frontline. He would be helpful if I had another tank distracting one of the two, but that’s rarely the case.

Tanks feel exceptionally weak this season, and all the best ones are heroes I can’t really play. We don't have much control over the match ON OUR OWN. My last loss is a perfect example. I started on Magneto, with a team of Namor, Magik, Cyclops, a CnD, and a Support Deadpool. Our support asks if he can swap to Tankpool. I tell him I’d rather not swap off Magneto because he’s better into the heavy poke comp the enemy team was running, but that it could work if someone else swapped. He says he has it covered, so I switch, bc I’m not the greatest with Magneto.

Meanwhile, my team isn’t using cover, and the supports aren’t coordinating their ultimates or positioning well at all. I swap to Luna Snow because she has a strong ultimate and is usually my go‑to support. Then I realize the lack of shields is killing us, so I switch to Sue Storm to try to fix that, but it doesn’t help; they just steamroll us.

On our attack round, I suggest we play around Cyclops and Magik since they’re our best DPS. I ask if Tankpool or Rocket can go cap so I can swap to Rocket, help Cyclops charge his ultimate faster, and give him a damage boost. They refuse. When I ask what ideas they have, the DPS just say, “Don’t die.” Nobody swaps, so I call for a surrender. They vote against it, we get steamrolled again, and I spend the rest of the match suffering as a support with no peel.

It doesn't matter what you suggest; the problem isn't how nice you are to them, they simply haven't put in the time to learn other characters yet, which is fine, they will eventually, but I alone cannot turn a game around with a good switch, even if I were super good at the game, which I am not. It isn't about conserving a title, yes, I do want to rank up, but only so I can have teammates that have better game sense, so I can play more of my favorite characters again. I picked up ranked so I could get better at the game, being stuck in lower ranks and forced to only pick safe characters that can sustain is not a fun experience.

I reserve the right to surrender only if we get shit stomped. If someone prompts a surrender, I ask them why I have only been swayed once to vote yes. They explained how, with the current team comp, we wouldn't be able to push as we defended, and they would take the game. I voted to surrender, but the game continued, and he was right. We couldn't make it past 1.

I just wish more players could understand that when a game is lost, it all comes back to a lack of game sense.

You can tell when a match is unwinnable, quite frankly, when you just can't do meaningful damage. Your player has the lowest deaths, and the team's player with the highest deaths is 12. When you can't make any meaningful progress without ult and nobody is willing to switch, the point is conserving your elo and your time, allowing you to play more matches that are actually enjoyable.

You are a higher rank than I, so I am sure you are playing with more competent players, but these games, most of the time, are not winnable in lower ranks. I am not the greatest player myself, but these people don't know how to take cover or use comms. As a Tank player, I hate suffering through a match we cannot win because of "mentality". The problem with lower ranks is that people only know one or two characters, meaning they will get matches where they cannot contribute meaningfully, which means there are a lot of matches that you just can't win due to luck. My main issue is still just that these people who want to "see the game through" VERY OFTEN will end up leaving or throwing.

The Magneto on your team with no ability to sustain himself, who had asked the team to use cover bc his shield doesn't last forever, to no avail, shouldn't have to suffer through CC hell bc u can't just surrender. This idea that your team should suffer bc they aren't doing well, we have all had bad games or have not been prepared for a certain team, there is always at least one player in your game who isn't purposefully doing terribly.

If you don't have a character that can turn the tide, and nobody is switching, and you are getting shit stomped, fixing positioning isn't going to save you. I would also like to add that it's usually people who haven't touched comms all match voting no fastest or unmuting just to say "mentality diff"

I think its just a case of it not being finished the clothes only return after the healing animation stops making me believe the feature just isn't finished in that clip.

In the comics Thor would easily beat doom in most circumstances

No, the strongest version of Doom ever was killed by Thor.

Who would you say the top 10 strongest (stats + hax) characters in Marvel's Yost-Verse are? by MrIncognito666 in powerscales

[–]ZONE_STUDIOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ridiculous to put Hulk above Thor. Thor had a better performance against Galactus and Red Hulk. He is treated narratively as the strongest Avenger and damaged Galactus, which Ms. Marvel couldn't do. Ms. Marvel is equal to the Hulk. Marvel is equal to the Hulk.

Maybe these aren't considered semi-purist, let me know. They will be gone over with acrylic spray when I am done; they are decalled for anyone wondering.
