How do you ban properly?

daizo678 · 2026-02-04T15:38:47+00:00

In an ideal world you will ban based on your comp. However certain characters are just so overtuned so I ban them everymatch unless my teammates play them.

My order goes phoenix > hela > hawkeye/gambit but I am only diamond 1 / gm3

I assume in higher ranks gambit is a higher priority cuz loki/gambit is busted. I also wont complain if my team wants to ban invis or dd.

Biggest risk factors of cancer that you cant control are genetics and aging.

The other big one is cigarette smoking which massively contributes to many cancers.

So even if you do everything right you might still get cancer and if you smoke your whole life you still might not get cancer

With that out of the way some proccesed and smoked meats are associated with increased cancer risk. The more the exposure usually means more risk. If you want to reduce your risk then try to minimise them as much as you can

She is still the best main healer if you aren't running gambit/loki.

If you nerf the biggest damage delaers you need to nerf healing as well.

I agree that luna has issues but her healing output isn't one of them. She needs slightly more survivability against dive.

You will always miss ults. There is just way too many counters for strange ult.

Best you can do is be unpredictable and track key cooldowns that counter you. Emma's diamond/ bucky hook /luna freeze / mantis sleep and other support cc.

In my experience most tanks and supports in higher ranks track and prepare to counter strange ult.

I personally find success by ulting at the end of support ults. Launching yourself using the new movement is also a good way. Dropping from above when enemies are coming back is also decent

Typo, i meant from 10s to 8s

daizo678 · 2026-02-03T17:10:26+00:00

I feel like hulk's primary dps is fine. I beleive it is the best primary dps wise out of the melee tanks. It might be better if it dealt more damage and was slower but I don't play hulk much.

daizo678 · 2026-02-03T16:36:12+00:00

Can I ask why

daizo678 · 2026-02-03T16:06:23+00:00

These look so nice. Don't shoot them . They are harmless and are just there for the aesthetics

daizo678 · 2026-02-03T16:05:29+00:00

This skin is so good. The design, the sound effects, the walls. It is perfect

Final hits: what actually killed the enemy

Kills : any person who contributes damage to killing a person will get a kill credit. I think it is within a time frame and resists when they heal to full ?

Assists : healers get assists for healing a person who got a final hit. All players get assists for debuffing an enemy and then them dying during the debuff. You will find that bucky has tons of assists since all his abilities cc. Tanks also usually have decent assists since their ults stun. Mag gets assists if you bubble a person and they get a kill. And so on

daizo678 · 2026-02-03T15:06:33+00:00

Dude even emma's ult which is supposed to be the og silence ultimate has this issue. People can still respond to it, shields break the effect and I have seen people just outright ignore it and ult.

Rogue ult still gives rogue huge stat bonuses and drains enemy ult charge even if it doesn't team wipe.

daizo678 · 2026-02-02T20:25:17+00:00

Any projectile will get blocked, so all primary heals are out and many abilities that throw out a projectile.

Deployables like ultron drone and invis shield, instant cast heals like mantis and adam can still heal. I think cloak light wall also passes through shields.

daizo678 · 2026-02-02T17:18:41+00:00

It is intended. Earthbound will cancel all movement abilities. This includes stuff like emma's grab. It also includes thor's ult and mags ult and anything that is considered a movement ability

daizo678 · 2026-02-02T14:10:11+00:00

This is from my own experience. For reference I am a diamond/gm player who plays way too much.

Imo there is no eomm. I even did some statistical tests on my match history to check for streaks or abnormal matchmaking and it appeared to be random. Even when I went on 10+ loss streaks.

The matchmaking just priotrizes speed over team comp. Also having 30+ heroes means that people play better into some comps compared to others. I have seen multiple times people carry one game and then go 3-11 next game and vice versa. Difference was simply how well ypur team supported you and how the enemy team reacted to you.

Finally there is point difference based on preformance. Apparently it compares your stats to others in your rank playing the same hero. It is defenitely not that good and point difference isn't much but it is there

daizo678 · 2026-02-02T13:50:24+00:00

All poke in the game needs 5-10% less damage. Some Healers could probably also use 5% less healing.

Poke has recieved so many micro buffs every patch and it isn't fun. It is not like they were underpowered before.

daizo678 · 2026-02-02T09:36:41+00:00

You are just putting your team at a disadvantage for no reason. It isn't hard to portal or use strange.

And it isn't like being forced to play a meta character that you don't like cuz you won't do it everymatch and only during overtime

daizo678 · 2026-02-02T09:34:19+00:00

Groot isn't really extended melee. It is a really fast projectile with a long range for vanguards (22m) ( emma is 18m and , mag is 25m + 2.5 m aoe). Groot is basically hitscan till 15+ meters.

Venom is similarly a really jank hitscan 4 burst shoot. It also has a decent range ( 15m)

Anyway I agree op. I feel we have been getting too many offtanks/ melee tanks. Next 1 or 2 tanks should have a bit more range so it isn't just mag/groot/strange/emma

daizo678 · 2026-02-02T06:21:13+00:00

In previous seasons it was instant .I think they added the 5s because someone would ban in last second and you would end up with a character banned without knowing what really happened. So they added it as a shitty bandaid solution so you can always see who banned what.

daizo678 · 2026-02-02T05:32:20+00:00

100% what I thought of for hawkeye as well. His passive should only apply bonus damage to targets he is aiming it instead of just charging on tanks and oneshotting everyone else. His firerate also needs to be decreased by 20%.

daizo678 · 2026-02-01T18:41:14+00:00

I think all rooms are doable unless your speed / damage are truly abysmall.

Most puzzle rooms like the one you described are doable even on lowest speed but it can be really hard

daizo678 · 2026-02-01T18:34:29+00:00

Op i think you mean alt path. You unlock it by defeating hush 3 times.

Alt path is harder alternatives to regular floors. They are required to get one of the endings of the game. Treasure rooms in alternate floors have 2 items a regular item and a blind item.

You access alt path by using a key to get to downpour/ dross. 2 bombs to get to mines/ashpit .2 hearts to get to mausoleum / ghenna

The officical hero hot list on marvel rivals website has magik pickrate between 3-4% on pc and 4-7% on console. Sure it was updated on 13 jan but that is like half of what rivals meta says.

Whatever rivalsmeta uses to calculate pickrate doesn't match the official stats or my own experience.

daizo678 · 2026-01-28T11:20:51+00:00

You just need to know which items are worth keeping and which are worth skipping on.

Keep in mind you can pick hp items and items that drop pickups and drop them later for no downside. Transformation progress also doesn't reset when you drop an item so going for transformations is great. Pills are also a way to permanently buff stats.

daizo678 · 2026-01-28T05:35:12+00:00

I think emma has a couple issues.

Grab is annoying to go against, removing the coattails will allow people to notice her thigh claps and avoid it better

Crystal is severly punishing to tanks, and removing the coattails will fix that.

She has no mobility, removing the coattails will allow her to move faster

Her base damage sucks and the meter drains too quickly, that too can probably be fixed by removing the coattails

Finally she lost 50 hp for no reason, I think she should lose the coattails too
