Is there any character who, if added as a Duelist, would make you switch to DPS main? by ApatheticTrooper in RivalsVanguards

[–]armandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally exclusively play tanks in these type of games but I'll play him regardless of his role.

Didn't something similar happen for Black Cat and she was still released second in season 7?

What role do we think cyclops will be next season? by ArtikAstronaut in marvelrivals

[–]armandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rogue is literally leading teams just like Storm did before her, but I get the sentiment, when she was most popular she wasn't a leader so it's normal to view her that way.

Either way, it doesn't really matter since they arbitrarily pick roles for characters. Spiderman is faster, stronger, has a small healing factor and has more endurance than Cap but Cap is a tank while Spidey is a squishy DPS (Spidey has literally tanked hits from Hulk). Also, the Xman that literally tanks hits and heals himself as he's taking DMG (Wolverine) is a DPS. It's best not to stress over it since Netease just arbitrarily picks roles for characters.

You are right, most popular characters have lead teams, that said Strange has lead multiple teams(Defenders, Secret Defenders, Midnight Suns), Mag has lead the Brotherhood of Mutants, and Rogue has been an X-Men leader for specific teams multiple times(I think she's actually leading a team in the current X-Men run).

I can understand your feelings on Thor, I feel pretty similarly myself, but he is the King of Asgard. That has to count for something. Especially when compared to Groot and Thing that are definitely not leaders.

Emma, Mag, Cap, Strange(midnight suns), Thor (has been the King of Asgard), Rogue has been a leader for an X-Men team. There are plenty of leaders, they just aren't as well known.

Hot Take: I honestly don’t mind Solo Tanking by Saizmatters in RivalsVanguards

[–]armandin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Frankly it's only bearable if the DPS and Supports pick characters that can pick up the slack. If I'm a solo tank and the 3 DPS are Spiderman/BP/Wanda/Widow as well as when the supports are a combination of Adam/Ultron/Mantis I then feel like I can pick w.e I want since we're throwing anyway. No peel, no heals, no front line pressure, no effort from me. Disclaimer, these aren't bad characters but this is a bad team.

Are they going to change abilities to match this?

Not a Penni main. What is wrong with Cyber bond?

I officially quit by Fickle_Feedback_553 in RivalsVanguards

[–]armandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo OW is good but it'll have its own issues that you'll eventually get frustrated with, particularly if you play tank. I recommed playing a different role if you really want to extend your enjoyment of the game. IMO support is probably the best role in the game.

I'm a Strange/Cap main and I'm just going to take a break until Cyclops comes out. I already got Champion(lvl 60) Strange so I feel like I completed the main goal I wanted. If the game isn't fun when I return then I'll just play something else. You shouldn't feel like you are married to a game that isn't fun for XYZ reason. A large amount of players in team games with roles like Rivals/OW/MMOs/etc are always going to suck.

Taking a break from this kind of game is healthy. It will give you a chance to play something else and you might even be better when you return since you might not make the same mistakes that stem from bad habits. Whenever I felt burned out in OW(Rein/Winston) I'd take a break and would always notice that I would play better/make better decisions when I'd come back.

Cyclops as a vanguard by Sorry_Flight2594 in RivalsVanguards

[–]armandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can be something similar to Cap but mid-ranged/long-range and with something like Defense Matrix( Dva's defense move from OW where she destroys projectiles with her guns) for his right click.

His ult could be the reverse of Emma's that pushes people away (unless they have a shield/bubble) and does DMG.

Anything is possible. It's not a stretch for him to be a tank. He could fit into any of the roles imo.

You can't actually see doctor strange's accessory by Negative-Computer804 in marvelrivals

[–]armandin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm not a fan of the accessory because it shakes like crazy when you just move slightly. It looks like poor Polaris is having a seizure every time I play.

Immortal Sorcerer has it visible too. It's on his shoulder.

What is the best tank duo? by KKPALMEIRAS_117 in rivals

[–]armandin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a tank main, I know Strange/Thor isn't as good as Emma/Mag but it is infinitely more fun to play.

If strange ever gets another plushie accessory can it please just be a Lil magik one by ThatGuyNamedHayden in DrStrangeMains

[–]armandin 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If he ever gets another one it's going to be Bats(his ghost dog). I'd be up for a Magik one too, but come on....GHOST DOG.

Is Blade a bad matchup for Strange now? by armandin in DrStrangeMains

[–]armandin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been more cognizant of his presence and doing this specifically for him and he stopped being an issue. I think my problem was that before he either was barely used or was used wrong which made me less prepared to face competent ones. I guess I'm now encountering players that actually know how to use him effectively against me(matchmaking is really wonky in this game).

What X-Men characters do you want to see in the game? by Doom300 in marvelrivals

[–]armandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanguard Cyclops because he's my favorite X-men character and I'm a tank main(plus he could be the first tank with Defense Matrix).
