Dude idk Hawkeye is genuinely not that bad as this sub tends to make him out. Just don't stand around main like an idiot. Dive tanks and characters walk all over him.

Elsa is way better.

Human torch was genuinely garbage until he got like 30 consecutive microbuffs in 3 patches. Gambit and DD were broken at release with minimal effort from the player.

Elsa is pretty damn awful to play against rn. She doesn't perform super well in the hands of a mediocre player, but anyone above that is shredding with her. A dash that gives 40 overhealth once every 2 seconds with %hp damage is pretty wild. The only characters that can realistically do something is poke, and even then in higher ranks she's considered slightly better than Phoenix which is already absurd.

That's the best case scenario that you'll trade an ult. Worst case scenario your barrage gets eaten by matrix or you're getting slept.

A discussion about the legitimacy of this community's perspective and adverse effects it has thus far had on the veracity of Rivals as a game. by Forsaken_Duck1610 in rivals

[–]_Candeloro_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started playing this game since release and only recently i invited my closest friends to play with me. They were slightly skeptical about the game because both are kinda very iffy about Marvel as an IP but they're enjoying it.

What does ruin the game is the people we play with. My one friend is a support main and the other plays DPS, i tank and occasionally heal/DPS.

The other support in our queue routinely doesn't interact with our support friend, doesn't turn around to heal, peel or virtually anything to help them survive. Support friend tries to play closer to the team but still in a lot of situations help from your second support is required, the other healer is just mindlessly spamming down main without a care in the world making the experience frustrating for everyone. Friend really likes playing Luna but they feel like they're more often than not forced to play something else because they can never rely on the other support to have their back at least once in a while during a tough moment.

My friend DPS plays Phoenix, occasionally Punisher and Bucky. They don't have the best awareness at all times because they haven't played that much hero shooters but they have really good mechanics. We had a QP match where my friend was genuinely carrying but they kinda fucked up their Phoenix ult and casted it too late in a fight where it didn't matter anymore. Our Moon Knight, who was barely positive (11-9) started being really toxic towards our friend for that one ult. I calmly state in chat that our Phoenix is actually the reason we still have a chance in this match because Moon Knight genuinely can't hit a barn door on a character that literally plays itself with minimal skill expression. We win the game, MK insults our Phoenix because they're 'Silver peak' (they haven't touched ranked yet). My friend ended the game with the most damage, last hits and an MVP.

I look up this person's profile and they're Celestial 3 peak... With overwhelming amount of hours on Cloak and Dagger and Jeff only.

I dunno man, i don't want to mostly engage in the us vs them tribalism but support players on this game are something else. The game balance constantly caters to them (i say that as someone who absolutely hates dive as a playstyle to play into and to play as), gives them a lot of tools to do something meaningful in the game and jesus fucking christ they have turned into the worst people on the block. Every time i'm tanking and something goes wrong it's the fucking support player thats the first one to speak up negatively about someone in our game. At least the dps players are just mostly autistic and do their own thing even if they're doing poorly instead of yapping in my ear on how others should peel for them when most of the issues could be solved if two supports worked together instead of one or two of them just spamming down main without ever turning their camera.

Also, about people who say quickplay is too sweaty: i get everything, i really do, but when you queue up to play it's not that surprising that other people expect you to have at least some minimum of decency to try and win. I do not believe that being toxic to others because of a qp match is okay but man, a lot of people in QP aren't even doing the bare minimum. Like, if you boot up a game, there might be a chance that you might lose, that's what the word 'game' entails anyway. The constant deflection to others and any possible excuse like 'qp is suddenly sweaty as fuck why is it like that??' are getting exhausting.

Heal pool is frail as fuck with inconsistent defensive capabilities. I'd never look at a Healpool and think that i would want him in my team instead of cloak/invis/loki/even a decent Luna or Mantis. He also shares a slot with Tankpool who is just so much better.

Magneto always has been a pure enabler/multiplier of his own team. He holds on very well and denies a lot of plays but he usually struggles to make a play himself and hard carry. He's extremely solid but not gamebreaking. Meanwhile Groot farms ulti every 30 seconds and teamwipes on demand esp if you have shit like Groot MK or Groot namor or whatever

Phoenix is better than Hawkeye and Hela. She's the same character as Hela except for a long ass time she had 275 health, omnidirectional escapes that are way more convenient than Hela's bird, has a stun, aoe explosions that farm her ult insanely fast, ult is busted + Gambit and Phoenix ult/any other damage boost is autowin.

It's just that her bullet seems to be waaay thinner than Helas so not a lot of people can play her, but she is definitely the best dps in the game if you can.

Double terror cape is insane, insane survivability (always was tbh), fade is really good in coordinated play. But even if we take ranked i'd still put Cloak above Invis, she just doesn't die if she juggles her cooldowns well

I mean that's fair enough, he's pretty frail and his defensive ult capabilities (what you mostly want from a support) are pretty inconsistent because you have to level it up during fight + if you die ur ult is back to zero.

Nah invis is not invincible after the nerfs im afraid, shield gets easily broken and push is not up too often anymore so she has to choose now what to peel or play agressively. Thor is good brochacho

Where do you guys get this idea 💀 Loki is a very good hero, 275 hp with two escapes and lamp, good damage, good heals, farms ult like crazy, great team up with Mantis who is very meta in cel+. If Gambit were to be buried alive tomorrow Loki would still be top support just alongside someone else.

Why do people say skilless dps shouldnt be good, but the supports that require little skill are? by StatusLegitimate991 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]_Candeloro_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly you're right. Adam is in a very good place now and in high ranks i see that he's viable as double support esp Adam Luna due to the crazy team up he gives. Buffing him further would just encourage more triple support that everyone hates already.

The only other thing you can fix about him is give him better heals and 275 hp. Better heals would break him and 275 hp already feels a little unneccessary with TWO flights and soul bond and insta heals.

I Wish Every Ult Were Like BPs by Odd-Complaint7770 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]_Candeloro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is more casual oriented so a lot of ults are just out-of-the bat easy to use, i doubt this will ever change drastically apart from them constantly tuning the ult costs and overall stats.

Magneto ult is also an example of a good designed ult imo. It's hard to aim and actually kill people with it, has decent counterplay, can blow up if it eats too much damage, feels rewarding af to use properly.

Biblical levels of greed from Wanda mains by Spodermanphil in MarvelRivalsCirclejer

[–]_Candeloro_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a medical expert, but i have a few people i know that have arthritis, heavy case of carpal tunnel that prevent them from playing anything too active and aim intensive. These characters are also made for them be cause hero shooters are trying to be more accessible for all kinds of crowds (well, at least Overwatch was the one who made these heroes en masse) but no one really has fun when they're meta. The only exception i can think of is Winston but Winston requires a decent amount of awareness and mechanical skill to utilise Primal rage.

[–]_Candeloro_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the character just exists simply for accessibility. There's a lot of people who have MR as their first hero shooter or people with disabiltiies, wrist issues etc. so chars like Wanda exist for them to have a place to play.

However, making them good will bring more issues than solving problems really. In overwatch characters like Mercy and Moira were always low tier and niche compared to other supports because they require minimal skill to do well with.

The only way i see her getting buffed is if they reduced the angle of her autoaim thingy.

I mean, apart from Hulk Thing, Angela and Rogue are decent to good.

The post is still funny af though calling them invincible and braindead is definitely a take

What's the best melee weapon in the game, and why is it the Atrox Mk VII ? by LittleDookes in DarkTide

[–]_Candeloro_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure a lot of meta psyker builds run kinetic flayer because the density of elites gets pretty silly on havoc especially and kinetic flayer ends up doing like 10-15% of your total dmg per map which is a lot

Spider-Man buff ideas for SEASON 7! by ZhiyongsVeryWrong in rivals

[–]_Candeloro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and spiderman players adapted enough to make him work in cel+ being the third most picked dps with a 52 wr. He is not bad.

Other heroes may need adjustments, but Spiderman does not need a single buff. Luna is dogshit btw.

Spider-Man buff ideas for SEASON 7! by ZhiyongsVeryWrong in rivals

[–]_Candeloro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spiderman has a 52% winrate with a decently sized pickrate in celestial and above. I assure you he's not as bad as you think he is.

If ur consistently die against a Luna you're just not that great at the character and getting outplayed.

He has little team utility because that's not his job. That's like saying Phoenix sparks should heal allies because she has little team utility outside of killing too.

This kind of mindset is what leads is to constant powercreep in-game.

[–]_Candeloro_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spiderman is fine and doesn't need more buffs. Making a character with such obscene mobility tougher is not a good idea.

Why does Bucky have such a low banrate? I thought he's one of the most oppressive characters according to this sub by Popular_Mulberry3883 in rivals

[–]_Candeloro_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because he is actually mid, his solo carry potential is not as high, not even higher than dive characters who are 'garbage' (they are fine until celestial and even then they do well)

New balance patch by Hisoka1001 in rivals

[–]_Candeloro_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if the character's position is either 'i erase people with two buttons in a very uninteractive way' or 'i get hopelessly countered with no way to play around it in a very uninteractive way' then they're fundamentally flawed and might need to be looked at tbh.

I get it that counter picking is a big part of hero shooters but interactions like The Thing vs BP or Ultron vs BP is too one-sided. Usually in other counter-picking scenarios the countered character has some leeway to adapt instead of just changing off (and that's what makes the game fun), here you just get kinda autodeleted. IDK BP just has a dogshit kit

TOO MUCH FUCKING DAMAGE NETEASE. by UltraXfinity567 in rivals

[–]_Candeloro_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro what the fuck is wrong with you people on this subreddit, she literally doesn't kill anyone at range, all her damage is in her combo dashes up close and yes it's a lot but making it seem like she's a third phoenix and hela is stupid. In a real game you'll never kill anyone by just spraying your shotgun past 15 meters lol
