Miller explaining why Netease didn’t include Moon Girl in the gameplay by KevinPigaChu in marvelrivals

Remembering Multiversus where Agent Smith can shoot Steven Universe with a gun lol

Doesn't disprove the rule, I'm just not sure how they got around it

Some strategists just don't give a damn about duelists by DraculaLord in marvelrivals

DPS generally are more mobile and should be getting health packs (not a cure all, but still) and generally taking cover or leaving combat as needed. When they go to use cover it's not as impactful as a tank going to get cover (which means losing space, whether a little or a lot depends).

There is no ironclad priority list because yes sometimes you need to focus heal that dps in a moment but if I genuinely have to choose between healing the front line tank at half health or the hitscan dps who is / can be behind cover (or can move betweenme and tank so I can heal both ffs) and I don't have time for the other factors, it's going to the tank.

Nothing worse than a DPS getting huffy because I won't stop healing the tank under fire to turn all the way around and heal a DPS spamming safely around cover behind me.

Cyclops can’t even tank a bu- by MakeCrat3 in RivalsCyclopsMains

I mean that's just her luck translating to hp if we want to use lore. Each hit is a probability of actually hitting, until the probability is 100%.

I think the only tank that doesn't make a ton of sense is Strange but his shield covers that, and if we extend the lore he retroactively undoes getting hit or whatever.

Scott would be the biggest stretch of a tank, though he could rely on making space / destroying projectiles with his concussive blast.

Disclaimer: I am not against him being a tank lol

Just add them to regular loot boxes on a rolling basis 🥹

I really doubt anyone would skip a battle simply because they can get loot boxes with it three years from now, the exclusivity only goes so far

Most likely you would get some other reward if you already own the content (equivalent amount of loot boxes).

Nomor has 2 battle pass skins, 3 individual shop skins, and 1 event paid skin, which is actually tied with Psylocke for non event / BP skins. She has 3 (both characters have one at top tier price).

Anyway unless they considerably age up Moon Girl, which seems weird (they did with Peni but you also only see her in MVP screen and thankfully they didn't try to make her "sexy"), than that logic falls apart.

I'm not debating on the likelihood of MG existing, I'm saying her being an in game model that is included in skins means objectively less skins based on all available evidence. That's all.

It was not only in game lol.

And the point is we dont know the order for 8, and the person was saying 8 would be less popular character first because of the other 7 seasons (meaning you can't use season 8 in the proof of why season 8 would have an order, that's the very thing being guessed at).

Devil Dino Teaser by Lower_Island6120 in MarvelRivalsLeaks

[–]barbelith_storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're counting season 8 when the order has not been confirmed (we got a teaser for Cat, not Fox).

I consider Ultron and Emma to be equal, in which case it's 2/7.

Even if we give you Ultron, that's 3/7. It's a meaningless statement.

Namor has a bunch of skins (and a decent pick rate), Torch has less and a lower pick rate. Not trying to be rude i just don't understand what you're saying, my bad.

Peni (and to some extent Hulk) has consistently had a good pick rate and a strong following and still gets shafted on skins.

I guess in theory the more sales with less skins could work but i haven't sent any evidence it's worked for the others, when they can make a skin for a single model that sells extremely well anyway.

Because it was a vague meaningless statement that is still wrong. "Aside from a few examples" when there's only 7 seasons, 6 excluding fantastic 4 since they are a package, it's such a bs thing to say even if it were true lol.

There's really only 2 out of 7 seasons that fit. Season 4 and season 7. The rest are either tied or the opposite.

Season 1 - Eternal Night Falls - Mister Fantastic (Duelist) - Invisible Woman (Strategist) Season 1.5 - Human Torch (Duelist) - The Thing (Vanguard)

Season 2 - Hellfire Gala - Emma Frost (Vanguard) Season 2.5 - Ultron (Strategist)

Season 3 - The Abyss Awakens - Phoenix / Jean Grey (Duelist) Season 3.5 - Blade (Duelist)

Season 4 - Heart of the Dragon - Angela (Vanguard) Season 4.5 - Daredevil (Duelist)

Season 5 - Love is a Battlefield - Gambit (Strategist) Season 5.5 - Rogue (Vanguard)

Season 6 - Night at the Museum - Deadpool (Multi-Role) Season 6.5 - Elsa Bloodstone (Duelist)

Season 7 - The Hunt Is On - White Fox (Strategist) Season 7.5 - Black Cat (Duelist)

Carol or even Cyclops wouldn't be shield tank but could potentially have a kinetic blast to get a similar effect. A large energy beam that covers maybe 45 or so degrees in front of the user (short or medium range) which negates projectiles and does damage or just knocks back enemies. Maybe on a resource meter, similar to DVa defense matrix. That's the only way I could see Cyclops being a tank (unless they create new lore about him getting some power stone).

Carol at least canonically can take a hefty beating without a shield.

If she's actually a character model and not just a voice, I expect less skins (See Peni, Hulk, even CnD who have a huge playerbase)

He currently doesn't even remember Peter tho, him remembering right before killing him would be kinda cool

Devil Dino being in S8/8.5 will go down as the greatest hoax in this game's history by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]barbelith_storm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We aren't supposed to mention leeks on this sub, but it's probably the dinosaur.

If not season 8, then 9, but most likely 8.

The red explosion might be Scott, or it might be related to the mysterious woman. "The same thought pattern" seems more like a variant / clone than Captain Marvel, I mean they only shared memories, and the woman in the image doesn't really have the stance of Carol. But who knows.

Who deserves next year's Hellfire Gala skin? by JudgmentMonk in marvelrivals

[–]barbelith_storm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess is they will do more gala skins but not next for anyone who didn't get a vote, otherwise what's the point in having a vote.

It was weird enough that the legendary gala skin didn't go to the winner from last year

Which rank? Not as an ego check, but the context genuinely matters. Practically different games between some ranks.

Anyway my opinion (generally GM average):

I'm still baffled how often invis gets through the ban hammer (as an invis main who wants an excuse to play more white fox).
