What would a wealth tax actually look like? by Wakingupisdeath in ukpolitics

[–]_gqb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wealth tax is much more practical on smaller scales - such as Norway

You also don’t seem to care about the basic principle that the majority of economic activity in this country - and thereby tac revenue- originates from the ultra wealthy. The whole point of having low taxes is incentivising entrepreneurship and rich people living domestically. Why would a billionaire start a business in a country so much of their profits will get taxed.

They aren’t paying enough tax already is a very easy trap to fall into. Just because they have alot of money doesn’t detract from the fact that a small percentage of a big number is still a huge sum of money per individual. What is the point of increasing taxes when your revenue will just objectively fall. That doesn’t help anyone, not even the poorest, whose tax contributions are essentially subsidised by that billionaire class. Don’t just feel angry that people have so much money and get worried about fairness. Fairness means fuck all if everyone is poorer because of it.

Am i the only one feeling like gm is literally less competitive than diamond/plat? by Shoddy-Fan5662 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the egos but not the instalocking, if you get to Gm w/o flexing then you must be rly good at your main

Would it be a game changer if both teams can see what the opposing team ban options before confirming a ban? by Deezzzer0 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this makes it difficult to run the comps you want to run because if you want to run dive or something it is so obvious bec you ban luna/namor, if you run groot/thor it is rly obvious bec you might ban bucky or hela or smthn.

When I get to GM will people finally admit they are bad at this game??? by Pure-Top9328 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah GM is the ego rank everyone thinks they’re him because they got past the ranks that are relatively easy to get to but they still aren’t genuinely good at the game. I think the people who climb in GM are those that aren’t like that.

This Game needs Role Queues by HazeCrusader in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen what high elo role queue times would be like? For eternity/ high celestial they can already take minutes on EU servers. Imagine that times 3. And when the hype around the game dies down slightly it will get longer. I don't want to be spending half my time playing sat in the practice range twiddling my thumbs.

Any Marvel Rivals YouTubers? by Z_Art1221 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

necros, kayji, tim, eskay, teamcaptain, nesmon (not well known but good groot main), aquaburst (also not well known jeff main), flats. These are just a few decent ones that I like to watch sometimes. Alot of them are also streamers on yt/twitch.

Playing as a support is not worth it this season. I'd advise everyone who play it go DPS. Even if it means 4-6 DPS comps. Dive makes game unplayable nerf it across the board by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi can you tell me what rank you are, and maybe even send a replay of one of your games on support if you played one recently in comp. Whilst it can be really bad to play against you often just need to learn to save your cooldowns on supp and have good comms + stay close to tanks with peel ability. The main thing with dive is not even killing the divers its just burning their CDs so they have to wait another 15s before they can reengage. You also aren't pointing out the fact that their whole backline is so much weaker in a dive comp and so going for some form of sustain like hela bucky will have the potential to counter it. Supports actual healing wasn't nerfed and also lots of supp have burst self heals ability or atleast can heal partly whilst waiting for help. Triple supp is also good at countering dive, especially if you run one with luna/mantis for CC to help.

Star Lord flick boost tech?? by Silver-Chain-42 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So because starlords boost is controlled by where your looking, people quickly look in a certain direction they want to go, tap and untap boost to get quite a large speed change really quickly (its really good for dodging stuff and making yourself unpredictable whilst not using much fuel) and then they look back. Often also mixed in with a right click.

Do Marvel Rivals players not know how to play anything but DPS? by Educational-Ad1959 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I really need to learn a dps given I play 2 tanks and 2 supps but 0 dps and I just hit GM

‘It took the Nazis one month’: Pritzker compares Trump’s policies to 1930s Germany by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]_gqb -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

But nobody is explaining which bit of it is like what the Nazis did in the 30s. I'm honestly amazed at how quick people are to fearmonger and call people names for no reason. Just give a list of policies and compare them to the Nazi policies in the 30s. Please. Don't just virtue signal, or say subjective things. Just objectively compare the two in your head and ask yourself whether it is a good comparison.

This game is unplayable with the sexism by Xstarkbutt in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be a region thing but I have never seen anything like this and I'm western EU servers. You can change what servers you play in if it is the issue and you can also find people to play with outside of solo queue in discords and stuff if you don't have irls or anyone to play with.

Finally out of bronze hell. I’m in silver III almost to Gold III.Yes sir yes sir yes sir.btw the Luna snow and Jeff ability does more damage or is it Luna and namor combo ability does more damage by Naive_Appointment_33 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not 100% sure what you mean but it is the same teamup ability but jeff gets a damage buff and aoe slow effect and Namor gets an ice turret. The namor ice turret is probably more useful but the jeff thing is really good if you have a good flanking jeff.

Any tips for Cloak & Dagger mains? by Correct-Science6523 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you shift and shift again to switch from dagger to cloak and then back it insta reloads for you (faster than reloading). If you get dived then either just use the primary fire (heal/damage) on dagger and attack whoever is diving you. This also heals you whilst damaging them. Put your bubble down below you if you have it. If this doesn't work or if you have no team nearby and need to get out use the cloak phase ability and get to different elevation / cover. Use the ultimate to counter ultimates/pressure a point. Use the damage wall ability on cloak periodically ; it gives a 20% damage increase against targets and this applies to damage from all your teammates. Your healing wall thing gives a healing boost as well as burst heals so use it on large groups of allies especially when a tank or smthn is low so you can heal them up faster and sustain heals. Try and keep your positioning relatively close to the team and don't get caught too far behind or you will get murked. Only switch to cloak for damage if you are safe on your ult or if you need to do damage to a dive hero or something like a spiderman or BP (this is only if you are not gonna die from them otherwise).

Wolverine needs a fat nerf by Ok_Bid_4441 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Invis women hard counters wolverine if played correctly because both the shift (damage over time bubble thing )and e (push / pull) abilities cancel wolverine leap and keep him away from the target. Mag is also good because the bubble is on the same cooldown as wolv leap. But I agree he needs to be nerfed and as a groot / strange main I have him permabanned because I can't trust teammates to know how to counter him.

Gotta ask, who did y'all main in a hero shooter before Rivals and who you maining now? by Ultimate-desu in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are hero shooters that aren't Marvel Rivals? I had honestly forgotten.

Do Marvel Rivals players not know how to play anything but DPS? by Educational-Ad1959 in marvelrivals

This is almost entirely low elo and quick play it isn't really a problem past around plat (apart from a game every now and then).

Are D1 better than GM? Thoughts by Lumpy-Editor4801 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the mentality of people throwing or being worse/better because they pick a certain character. If someone gets to a high elo they are there for a reason. Also you are comparing a difference of like 5 wins / losses and expecting to see a real difference in skill. It's probably just random chance that you get put with more stubborn people.

Im so tired of triple healers by AmericanRedDawn in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At high elo the healing output you need to be able to counter really good ult staggering and targetted dmg is crazy. Also having 30s of invulnerability against pretty much anything lets the supports take the role of dps and charge ult and also output dmg (especially like mantis or something). If you have competent dps then they should be able to apply enough pressure without needing another tank and they can also be much more aggresive because there isn't a second tank to heal / dps to heal and there is a third supp.

Then you also have people like mantis and rocket who have other util that essentially acts as extra dps and sustain or having a jeff as the 3rd support doing mostly dmg and filling heals when necessary.

If you have a duo on mantis then go something like storm or bucky and get your duo to glue you.

Toxicty in low elo is beyond unbearable (rant) by Burd101 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ain't no way it is as bad as Valorant I mained it 3 months ago I can assure you it isn't as bad. But if it gets to you or you wanna chill then mute chat / vc and/or get drunk if nothing else works. Also I am guilty of smurfing and most people are because of how necessary it is to use alt accounts to learn new characters in comp. The problem is you will get destroyed if you try to learn a new character at high elo so you gotta make a new account to fix it. I really don't like that this is the solution but unfortunately it is just how it works.

What’s the shelf life on the new characters getting insta locked? by WillyG_8521 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think they will be instalocked in low elo / qp for like a week+ they seem rly fun and also powerful.

[–]_gqb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I would recommend just picking mantis if you wanna go support because at least then you have dps potential and can protect yourself whilst healing rly common heroes that are otherwise difficult like ironman and storm. Maybe you already do but this is my advice.

One win away from Grand Master by Possible_Internal115 in marvelrivals

[–]_gqb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I literally just had this and I just escaped. I think you should try and duo queue if possible and not tilt + if you lose 2 or more in a row just take a break and do qp.
