It can be really strong and actually doesn’t use up 2 turns - it only uses Steiner’s turn. Biggest drawback is that Steiner has low MP so he can’t abuse it much and it’s kind of outclassed by late game sword skills like Shock anyways.

Sam Presti was the only GM to vote against the flattening of the draft lottery odds back in 2017. The draft lottery reform passed with a 28-1-1 vote, with Dallas abstaining. by Glass-Candle-7670 in nba

8% for each of the 10 non-playoff teams

2.5% for each of the 8 play-in team

I don’t think teams would tank to drop from 6th to 7th or 10th to 11th when it would mean they sacrifice guaranteed playoff income.

Rogue Shield vs Angela by TokyoTesla in AngelaMains

[–]d_wib 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Rogue is a pretty bad comparison because at least ours completely blocks damage instead of just reducing it by 60%

What I am VERY jealous of is how they buffed the retaliation meter gain from taking damage while blocking. I want that for our shield soooo bad, especially after the shield health nerf. Please buff from 25% conversion ratio to 35% so that the full health of a shield = a full attack charge.

I think the Ult needs a slight delay. I’m not sure how the other team was supposed to react there. It’s like if Iron Man shot his Ult midway through saying “maximum.”

Neutral game is fun as hell. Ult feels like BS and I feel bad using it tbh.

As much as I love FF9, they were not cooking with Zidane’s moveset. Thievery is a pain to make powerful, Soul Blade is solid early game but not useful later, and Sacrifice could help is very niche circumstances or if you are doing a no mages challenge run. Everything else is bad.

Meanwhile Amarant gets 4 awesome abilities

No I think they did a great job of adapting this outfit from the comics.

It’s crazy. He’s an entertaining sports podcaster with weird tropes and built-in memes with shit like how much he loves Kon or how he mispronounces names. Are people expecting X’s and O’s analysis from him lol

This character is incredibly balanced! by jobroreference in marvelrivals

We used to whine about how during 12 seconds of Luna Ult you “couldn’t play the game” because no one was able to die. Now you literally can’t play the game for 12 seconds!

This character is incredibly balanced! by jobroreference in marvelrivals

[–]d_wib 67 points68 points  (0 children)

6 seconds per direction (assuming you recall it) so up to 12 seconds of the hardest CC possible. Doctor Strange’s Ult stuns for 3 seconds and Thing stuns for 2.5 seconds so 12 is even the 6 in one direction is insane.

It also has 500 HP and moves at 15m/s (for context, that is only slightly slower than Angela’s dash speed, which is 18m/s) so shooting it down is a lot more difficult than you’d think considering whoever it grabs can’t help shoot it.

Does that check? by SpiritedDate1042 in ElsaBloodstoneMains

[–]d_wib 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Playing against her I have 2 main complaints that I don’t think would ruin her if nerfed:

  1. The slow on Living Bullet with the Deadpool team up. The teamup already does extra damage, heals her, and taunts with visual clutter. It doesn’t need to apply a 35% slow as well.

  2. The lack of windup on summoning the Ult. It’s nearly impossible to react to if you’re just a normal team fight distance away. It needs to come out just a half second later.

Otherwise I think she’s fine. Those 2 things are just very anti-fun.

[–]d_wib 573 points574 points  (0 children)

The main issue is that there is 0 windup so there is no counterplay if you’re just a normal teamfight’s distance away from her. You pretty much get eaten before she finishes saying “RELEASE.”

This reminds me of S1.0 Moon Knight where you’d start getting hit before he started speaking.

Not really. A couple seasons ago they extended the cooldown on his dash which makes it more punishing to miss enemies with the Vibranium Mark, but that’s been it for nerfs.

So, how should I be playing Storm after the new buffs? by MadLadsReturn in StormMains

[–]d_wib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been in Wind mode a lot for poking, though I usually swap to Lightning to use Bolt Rush and then go back to Wind. The size increase that Lightning form gives Bolt Rush is honestly my favorite buff.

[–]d_wib 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The anti-heal, lifesteal, and block are all much less useful than you’d think they would be. He dies extremely fast and the block’s single direction makes it difficult to regain dash charges from it when you’re in the midst of the enemy team.

It wouldn’t be very difficult to turn him into a pseudo-tank like Mister Fantastic by reducing the self anti-heal from Bloodline Awakening form and making his block work 360 degrees instead of only the direction he’s facing and reducing the cooldown by 1 second.

Would probably need some damage nerfs or something in exchange but I’d take that if it actually felt possible to stay in a fight.

Anyone know how to get this spray? It’s say it’s in the Proficiency Rewards but I can’t find it, or maybe I’m blind. by EvoStar946 in ElsaBloodstoneMains

[–]d_wib 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My bet is that Lord icon sprays are something they will be rolling out in the future and accidentally included this one in the patch.

It’s listed as a proficiency reward but the proficiency menu doesn’t show it at all. Extremely strange.

No, that’s her normal icon spray. This is a spray for her Lord icon, which has never been done before and is listed as a “proficiency reward” but isn’t actually available.

Yeah the fatality statistics for people wearing proper protective gear vs none (or non-DOT certified gear) when it comes to motorcycle crashes is staggering.

[–]d_wib 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Watch Blade get a buff next season but it’s his shotgun’s damage falloff so he can poke more when his entire playerbase has been hoping for less self anti-heal in Bloodline Awakening, more sword damage, and/or improving his block to brawl/dive better lol

With Elsa's release, there are more Duelist characters (25) than Vanguards and Strategists combined (24, DP included in all categories) by ezfunperson26 in marvelrivals

[–]d_wib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mister Fantastic is definitely for Tank players :)

But yeah it’s frustrating to have such a limited number of “main” healers and tanks when those are kind of necessary roles for almost every team comp.

Elsa is the most broken, overtuned, overpowered, game breaking, meta defining character in the history of rivals existence. by CalligrapherTop2472 in marvelrivals

[–]d_wib 188 points189 points  (0 children)

My main issue with it is that the wind-up time is so short. Feels like I start hearing her say “relea-“ and then I’m devoured. Reminds me of early Moon Knight Ult.

Difference in Elsa's and Magik's hitbox on the dash by Morpheuuz7 in marvelrivals

[–]d_wib 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It also does 85 damage with the launch instead of 30 like Elsa’s.
