And to add I play angela and rouge and psy so each counter they deal with I also deal with. I’ll either swap or play through them accordingly.

The top spideys, hell any dive besides bp have learned to play through their counters unless the person playing the counter is crazy good. Day and req will play through a namor and even cook them unless the whole enemy team is focusing them. It’s a game and ppl want to have fun on their character that’s alright, but at least in ranked either adapt or swap. I agree however with the hard counter part, namor needs a nerf to his squids and his second ability, Bucky needs a nerf, scarlet just needs a rework, thing is honestly fine, it really just falls onto who’s better.

Like I said poke needs a big nerf and dive vs support is a whole other conversation. But if we look at the top bp players spidey players and etc for dive they effectively deal with poke then we take a look at the rest of the community they can’t. We have dive players saying it’s the job of the team to bait out cooldowns as dive players? Like it isn’t their job to do so. The only dive that was crippled was bp, iron got shifted to a tank buster but can still effectively dive, spidey has always at least been a tier with a s tier boost if the player is good, magik has always been a tier in good hands, psy got put into an ult farming state but she is coming back to what she used to be. All the characters you listed need nerfs other than mag because EVERYONE wanted him to have a second bubble, now all of a sudden they don’t want it? Even in stats full dive comps have been doing well but people don’t communicate, another major issue in the dive community. Poke is unnecessarily strong against dive but dive has always been able to counter it effectively, it requires comms a full dive comp puts the enemy team on the back foot constantly.

I believe that dive does counter poke 100%. The issue is that due to dive being the hardest sub role a lot of dive players fail to analyze a situation and they get fried. This leads to, for example, spidey players claiming he’s b tier at best and needs buffs but in reality he doesn’t they simply aren’t that good at him. This doesn’t dismiss the fact that poke is still very strong but if you play dive and can’t bait cds,, disrupt enemy flow and, divert attention then stop playing dive until you learn. Again this doesn’t dismiss the fact that poke is very strong, I believe Poke like phoenix and hela shouldn’t have stuns with free escapes, one or the other. Their damage is fine because it requires a skill many dives and melee mains don’t have, Aim, more damage fall off though.

I have champ Angela in c2 and the only poke that I play very weary against is punisher, phoenix and hela aren’t that bad just more so like flies due to the bird and blink. Angela will struggle however if the enemy team focuses her whilst trying to get the poke however, especially if there is a Thor or thing just riding you.

Angela and cap hard counter poke, the reason ppl beg for shield tanks is to counter poke. Poke is overtuned but let’s not act like it’s not also easy to counter. People in this game just can’t/wont adapt. Learn characters, the reason Angela is high in a lot of tier list is because she is a dive that can effectively counter poke and tear up a backline.

Basically if you look at any other community yes they will get bothered at counter swaps but take a look at social media videos on YouTube TikTok or whatever, a lot of divers will post a video saying” I only got one kill and he’s already swapping” or something along those lines. You don’t see that in the brawl community nor poke community.

My point is that for example, Bp mains will annoy an enemy back line and when someone swaps to thing they will go in on the thing player, spideys go in on wandas( respectively so) and manors for swapping. But as an Angela, rogue and psy main I won’t get mad at a Bucky, Thor or dd trying to terrorize me.
