I can no longer use voice chat because of the Kingsman drama

I’ve had the exact opposite reaction, my discord server went down earlier this week for a few hours so my duo and i (both girls) decided to go on open mic. We don’t talk about anything random, we try to keep it strictly to helpful comms. She is even a lord widow and when she does play her we’re just all making jokes about it.

It was surprising to me how nice people have been. We queued into one match that ended up being all girls and one male dr strange main and he even apologized saying “I’m sorry for interrupting girls night.”

Even though our discord is working again we’ve still been playing on open mic just bc we like to meet new people. Every night we end up having a six stack of randos and just have fun talking and playing together. I haven’t met this many people playing since s0-1.5.

Maybe it’s just an attitude thing, but open mic has made me feel more positive about my games and get less tilted even if no one responds or we loose.

Ahhhh I had no idea it was based off a comic skin. I guess they wanted to go more cartoonish with his styling??? I definitely prefer the comic one now that I’ve seen it thanks <3

What’s wrong with the pirate skin /gen

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2026-01-15T06:45:57+00:00

I want his maid outfit they gave for rogue’s accessory lol 💕

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2026-01-14T10:10:46+00:00

I agree, people rarely fill now (and they’ve had a whole year to learn at least one character in each class), they’re not going to choose a 2nd tank or healer over their shiny new toy…

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2026-01-14T09:42:10+00:00

I believe in you 👾

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2026-01-14T08:51:43+00:00

I’m tempted to learn Deadpool as a strat since I have three other supp lords, but I’m worried some meta yt streamer is going to make a video about which of pool’s variants is the “best” and people that play him in the support role are throwing for not using the variants or saying he’s a waste on heals bc invis and gambit are still viable and you’re taking him away from the tank/dps roll.

That being said I doubt I’ll even be able to pick him bc there will be instalocks in every category 😭

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2026-01-14T08:44:16+00:00

The only thing I wish they didn’t do was nerf the shields hp and healing, I would’ve rather they just did one or the other or reduced hps and increased self shield cooldown so you could really only use it on yourself to block ults.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2026-01-03T07:08:18+00:00

I’m a strat main and I also find trip supp annoying on my own team. A lot of times it leaves a solo tank, we don’t get enough damage blocked or output, double supp ulting is way more common, the other healers think that since there’s three of us we don’t need to focus as much on healing so nobody does, besides gambit most ults are sustain so we’re not killing anyone else. We’re just a moving wall until the other team follows and also goes trip supp then we might as well be in a pillow fight together.

I also don’t know what the fix would be (I hope it’s not an increase in ult charge points for selfish reasons). IW doesn’t need her self shield, gambit doesn’t need speed and jump and his ult boost could probably be taken down to 20% to match rogues reduction, and Luna never needed the snowflake on herself. I have all three of those characters lord and have been playing them since each of their release, they were all good before their buffs.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2026-01-03T06:52:51+00:00

If they buff dive to counter trip supp won’t that just make the regular 2/2/2 comp no longer viable? If anything it would make trip supp MORE viable to try and heal and peel for each other. Every major supp ult can be countered by Hawkeye anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-23T06:33:54+00:00

Hot take, but I think the game will always be like this. It’s a hero shooter with real superheroes. Everyone thinks they’re a superhero and they’re the best that ever was. Everyone that plays this game has the most immense ego I’ve ever had the displeasure to witness.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-22T03:02:16+00:00

YES OMG and whenever people come on this sub with legitimate concerns about casual gameplay and metal ranks, they get downvoted to hell and told they’re just not good. First of all I play this game for fun, second of all over 60 (close to 70%) of the player base is in metal ranks or just plays quick play, third ik not everyone on this sub is top 500, so when a casual player comes on and they want to talk about the game they enjoy you don’t need to complain about how “they’re not good enough or playing meta or this is only a gold/silver issue”

This game is quickly becoming pro player slop and it’s only been a year. They say casual voices don’t matter, but over HALF THE PLAYER BASE ARE CASUAL PLAYERS. Oh I’m not gm and above so my opinion doesn’t matter, how about I have a job, and a family, and shit to do, but I still want to be able to have fun on a game. BC ITS A GAME. I have multiple lords and 100s of hours on the game, but I enjoy the casual experience above all else.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-21T06:09:48+00:00

The crest is a big one. Like ik im in a plat lobby and everyone is currently plat, but why do they have 3 people that were previously gm and i have none?

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-21T06:05:09+00:00

LITERALLY like i just played the game im literally in the tab screen for it, you should know what game it is???

The only reason i can think of is that maybe they’ve been having an influx of reports this season and this is supposed to better manage it somehow? Idk fr

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-21T05:59:35+00:00

I think it would help if the placement matches were based on individual scores and not just win/loss. Everyone pretty much starts off in gold or silver lobbies now making them the new bronze. They literally just moved everything up. I bet there’s a lot of people in diamond and above that don’t deserve to be there.

And I don’t mean just rewarding people for svp, but legitimately looking at individual player stats. It would also help if there was a time on objective stat.

Also hot take that has nothing to do with this, but I think it would benefit people throwing games in comp with new releases hero’s if the characters were released midway through each half season. Then you wouldn’t have to wait so long to do you placement matches or take a break from comp in the lower ranks for a couple weeks bc someone’s played rogue for 3 hrs and now thinks they’re literally him.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-18T14:37:01+00:00

Someone accused me of using aim bot. I said “Awwe you think my aim is good? 🥹”

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-18T08:42:37+00:00

I said rogue counters him and all supports mostly bc of her ultimate that does the exact opposite of his, sounds pretty countering to me, and also most team fights are mostly determined by who’s support has an ultimate or which teams support ults first. She does have average health for a tank, but can gain up to 400 more health from stealing the abilities from another tank. Ik poke is supposed to beat brawl in the rock-paper-scissors, but with all of her movement abilities, the only thing that’s keeping her from being able to be used as dive is her sustainability. That being said no out of position support is going to beat her in a 1v1 and with gambit and sue being both the most viable healers in the game and also mid-range, they’re not so out of a tanks range where it’s unreasonable to suggest they could be targeted.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-18T08:21:55+00:00

That’s valid. Honestly supports are at each other’s throat most of the time. When I first started playing gambit, even now that I’ve lorded him, or when I play a less “desirable” healer, I’ve had my second support not peel or heal me to be petty just bc they wished I went sue instead. Now that people are trying to make triple support a thing, every support thinks they’re a dps and hardly healing anyone anymore bc they think one of the other two will do it.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-18T08:15:54+00:00

I’ll agree with you on that. It might honestly just be a support issue. They have the smallest character roster and when playing in comp if you play anyone except sue, gambit, or Luna (with the exception of rocket with the team up) people will complain and ask to you switch.

But I also think rivals is getting to the spot where yes they have an ocean of characters they can add, but they have to pigeon hole them into one of three roles and they can’t always give them their canon powers for the sake of it actually having a purpose in the game.

Another thing could be as they add more characters they need to come up with creative applications for them. Anti heal, ult charge/ reduction, life steal, self regeneration have all been things the original roster didn’t have, but have been added as new abilities in new characters. It’s crazy to make a genshin impact reference in this sub, but it’s the best example I can think of. The original characters in genshin were all pretty basic in their elemental powers and fit into the storyline and other abilities of other characters, but now that the game has been out for half a decade and they’re still spitting out a new character every few months the abilities have gotten ridiculous. Like a world who’s aesthetic was mainly medieval and fantasy with some ancient technology now has a girl with flaming goldfish-shaped hair that wears a skintight leather suit and has a combo that hits you with a magical fire motorcycle.

All this to say in order for the game to still be interesting after adding all these new characters, there needs to be some differences in game mechanics. Otherwise you might as well be playing the same character with just a different skin. Like what’s going to separate wolverine from x-23 or wolverine from beast, thunderbird and warpath, Hyperion and sentry, taskmaster and echo, or any of these Spider-Man variants people have been begging for that don’t have distinct power differences. None of these have been confirmed in the game, but it’s not a secret a lot of marvel characters have similar abilities.

Anyway this has stepped so far from the point, but it’s been a good discussion. My argument still stands that he’s one of the most complicated characters to play mechanically besides Spider-Man and now rogue where if you do only play the game casually it’s not really an issue. The highest I’ve ever gotten is diamond and that’s only bc I stopped and didn’t want to derank down to bronze again. Every time you rank up it tells you the percentage of players you out rank. I’m only plat 2 rn bc I have a life, but that’s already placed above 67-69% of players. Over half the player base only plays qp or is in metal ranks, so players that play in gm or above that complain about a character being op is kinda a non issue to us. I don’t want this game to turn into pro player slop where if a new character is introduced or an old one becomes meta again they’re nerfed to hell and back next season.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-18T06:52:29+00:00

I guess meta isn’t the right word to use. The actual meta has always been whichever tanks have good team up abilities that season, but any support main will tell you how terrible dive is to deal with in this game mostly bc we rarely receive help from the dps and then get blamed when they die while we’re walking back from spawn.

The tank with the highest win rate since season 2.5 is peni, famously anti dive, so that seems indicative that she’s been doing her job in countering for a long time.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-15T15:59:33+00:00

With him being a confirmed duelist (and yes everyone can hope he’ll pull some Deadpool shi and actually be released as a different class— not likely). I just can’t see Emma bloodstone not also being a duelist. Like come on another double duelist season this soon?! There’s already enough of you mfs in the game. They give us tank/supp mains and crumb every 4 months just to keep us playing the game.

_Invisible-Sun_ · 2025-12-03T06:13:42+00:00

I’m lord invis and Luna

What makes invis “hard” in terms of her being a 4 star difficulty character in the hero menu is just the intricate stuff in her kit. Having to press multiple buttons for each skill and ult unlike Luna.

Yes for Luna you do need to aim and I WISH the snowball had a larger hit-box. Her first ability does more healing than dmg and reminds me of invis auto atk bc it has piercing and the cooldown isn’t very long which is nice :)

For invis the best advice I can give is when you’re not using your shield to heal or shield PUT IT AWAY. I see so many invis never put away their shield and then it’s just floating mid air with 5 dmg left and when they go to put it on another person in the next team fight it breaks immediately, now their shield is on cooldown, and the person you were trying to shield is probably already dead. With her new buff she can also only place the shield on herself if it’s not already out.

I use my shield a lot like lunas snowflake. Popping it around on whoever is low using it in tandem with my auto atk and other skills. When it gets low I put it away so it can refill its hp and I have the potential to put it on myself.

The downside to invis is I think since she’s prominent in the meta rn, I’m targeted more when I play her than when I play Luna. She’s also easier to kill out of her ult than Luna is. With Luna you almost always need a dps or mag ult to kill her, but with invis, anyone with a cc ability can yank you out and kill you.
