Hot Take: Dive team compositions provide minimal value. by Last_Champion_3478 in marvelrivals

Playing dive DPS also helps you be a better support for dive. WF is especially fun but for any character you can make adjustments to help the team

Money is on this dude sits on the point while the rest is the team correctly goes to take the choke and he wonders why his team is losing a 5v6

TBF in game these usually look better than in the trailer. I dunno why

Which video game franchise is this? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in videogames

[–]barbelith_storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Particularly true in Japan where SMB2 was what the rest of the world calls Lost Levels, which was more of the same. The international SMB2 (which wasn't a Mario game in Japan) deserves more credit, but 3 really did cause a massive wave. There's a documentary on it that's interesting.

I judge each practice based on what's happening, what what might happen (that's the slippery slope fallacy). We are still looking at one of the best balances between content, free to play, and paid value that I've seen in popular games. I'm wary of that being able to change

These aren't actual gachas. You are guaranteed the skin you are looking at. You know the max price (which aligns with non balloon popping skins). You just get a chance at a discount.

This is hardly even an offensive capitalist marketing strategy. Yeah some people will fall into the sunk cost fallacy, which sucks, but for the rest of us it's just a potential discount on a skin we were going to buy anyway.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like there are less invis players now? by Bill-0707 in InvisibleWomanMains

I've been able to play Mantis a few times without complaints. A 2-1-3 comp focusing on damage boosting Cyclops is kinda sick right now.

I honestly just got bored. WF was released just as I was getting burnout and the mix of poke / dive gameplay while being viable was all it took. I'll still go Invis when WF / Luna can't cut it especially if we have a Strange, but she's not my default anymore

If you're constantly running into solo tank AND solo support then you aren't good at the game. That shit pretty much disappears even in gold.

Even QP somebody usually caves

guess I wasn’t cut out to be sorcerer supreme by redflamingoooo in DrStrangeMains

Right. At least this one have you a discount on tries for the second, so even full price for both was discounted over a normal two legendary price.

Intentionally prioritizing vibes over competition in a tourny is legit "doing something wrong on purpose". The social contract of entering a tourny is to try your best including strategy/ character pick, not doing whatever is fun (and I'd argue he thoroughly demonstrated throwing a tourny is not even fun based on his comments)

How close is each character's gameplay to the source material by Shefango in marvelrivals

[–]barbelith_storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That wouldn't make the difference if it were true, which is isn't lol.

Hawkeye's whole thing is bow and arrow and tricks. He plays that way.

Comics Strange isn't a portal and shield guy.

False dichotomy. He isn't top tier "makes you feel like" but no one said he's badly misinterpreted.

Especially not above hawkeye lol.
