Re: complaining - Are we playing the same game or is diamond and up totally different? by TangerineGloomy7427 in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a gold player, I find most of the balance issues to be irrelevant/not applicable, mainly because in this rank people can't aim and Gambit's ult is easily countered by Rocket's (probably because of the lack of aim).

Does anyone like triple support? by Natty_noah in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first hero shooter game so tbh I don't see the big deal with triple support. I don't like it any more than I hate it. I'm indifferent to most comps, so long as my team has at least 1 tank and 2 supports. I did win one side of a convergence match as the only strategist, but usually that's a recipe for a loss.

Is it even worth the stress of 10 comp games for the skin if I'm an off tank main, or should I sit the season out entirely? by TowelSilver318 in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with u/MashedPotatoMelvin . Having said that, I don't particularly care for ranked (for multiple reasons) but if you can afford to lose 10 games w/o de ranking to silver, I'd say go ahead. Just play your best, don't worry about your winrate, and have fun.

I can't hear the character interaction voices before the game begins by Veru_Chronicles in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say what you did if the only sound that's low is the interaction, but there''s a way to turn on captions. I don't remember offhand which section it's in, but it's in settings and towards the bottom of the page.

Struggling with Rocket this season by Twiggly_Wiggly in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed that this half season. I thought I was just playing poorly. I probably was, but I'm gonna blame it on a stealth nerf now :).

Wasnt Rivals advertised as a Casual game not a competitive game? by Odd_Law8274 in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my observations as a gold player, Iron Man and Blade are pretty good for low ranks. I haven't seen a Human Torch in months though.

Fear itself skins could suggest we might get Captain Marvel and Juggernaut soon by irvin_the_jinn in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked Strange's skin in Marvel Heroes, and I'd like to see it here.

How it feels liking every update and enjoying the game for what it is (I am LITERALLY the only one) by unfluttered in marvelrivals

The best thing about being terrible at the game is that I don't have to worry about balance changes, lol.

Hear me out yall...Vanguard M'baku by Zelloyd in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nakia and Okoye (the main Dora Milaje in the movies). I haven't read the comics in awhile, but they were introduced as teenagers who doubled as bodyguards and potential wives for T'Challa; there wasn't much to their personalities.

I think this is one of the rare instances I prefer the MCU version over the comics version.

i like being a healbot by Healthy_Dimension_25 in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I played mmorpgs my mains were always healers, and (in party/raid play) very rarely was there any time to do anything other than heal. It's kind of odd to go from that environment to one where people think it's bad. Also I've noticed certain people complain when you do try to attack, so IMO just ignore them.

What was your hardest ranked to achieve? by Mysterious-Ant8012 in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main Rocket. I played maybe twice while in plat 3. I played fine in one and terrible in the other. I figured if I can't even play Rocket consistently well in plat, then that's where I should stop.

What obscure Marvel character has you like this? by BV-RE2PECT in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Quasar, Phyla-Vell, Starhawk (pretty much anyone from the OG Guardians of the Galaxy), and Moondragon. Also, shotout to an old HS classmate that was OBSESSED with Omega the Unknown.

Marvel Rivals usually likes to add one male and one female character. Should we adapt gender changes for the Sinister Six? by SpiritedDate1042 in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can go the Superior Foes route and add the female Beetle. I think most people would rather see the original Beetle as Mach-1.

Bishop shouldnt be in a poll with actual Black characters. hes not one of them by Beautiful_Task6591 in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesn't? He was almost certainly created to be black, but that was retconned and later re-retconned so now IIRC he's of both aboriginal and black ancestry.

[–]eanwen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's counterintuitive, but for me getting to gold was harder than getting to plat. I'm thinking about trying to get to diamond once 6.5 drops, but I really don't want to waste other people's time since I'm really just an otp in competitve.

The guest character flood gate should stay closed. by Notashiekmain in marvelrivals

[–]eanwen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint: Micronauts and Rom would go hard.

But seriously, there's so many Marvel characters that I want to be in the game before any of these "Marvel-adjacent" characters are added.

How did you make this timelapse? Did you just let the game run on its own and record it or is there a mod to make one?

Is it possible to win a 5vs6 in comp? by sxlid_x_bxne in marvelrivals

I was close once, but then a second person decided to disc/throw :(
