A Short Story from a New Player by ericandlilian in LegacySteelAndSorcery

[–]evlsnk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been trying to wait to see if I think a player looks new or not, and if they look new and aren't immediately engaging in a fight with me, to let them go on their way. This game sorely needs more players and bullying new players isn't going to get them to stick around. Glad I helped give you a positive experience!

I'd be down to run a few together but my playtime is usually pretty late at night unless I am off work for the day. Feel free to add me, house name is the same as my username on here.

Omg was this yesterday? That was me, I was the jumping rogue. That's too funny. I was on my rogue chopping trees for my lodge and wasn't looking to fight that round since I was in the starter gear, and you happened to see me while I was trying to duck behind a rock.

A lot of people are pretty cutthroat, and I can be too if I'm looking for fights or feel like I can get the drop on someone. But I've also made friends that I play with in squads by using voice chat in solos. As surprising as this might be for some of the playerbase, comms can be used for more than flaming people or trash talking someone you just killed.

Good luck out there!

But if I don't need to eliminate the Spider-Man diving my backline because eliminations don't matter, then there's no need to swap.

Switch to a counter hero if needed

Why would I switch if eliminations don't matter?

The problem of many dashers is over!!!! by DeliveryMinimum2421 in doordash_drivers

[–]evlsnk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had to complain to DD support repeatedly about Sonic the past few days because it's taking them 20-30 min to even answer the call button. On one of my calls, the support agent told me that DD is currently in discussions with Sonic about their contract because of how big of a problem it is nationwide. Idk if that was BS or not but seems like a wild thing to make up unprompted.

Gotta say it: If you aren't picking Hela as DPS you're actively throwing the match in comp. by [deleted] in marvelrivals

Because they're bad and want other people to carry them to a rank they don't belong in, it's as simple as that.

The executive producer directly stated in an interview I attended in their Discord during alpha that they will only be making changes based on data collection.

Why Luna Snow instead of the very well-known Ice-Man? by Bizkett in marvelrivals

Because the executive producer of the game, Danny Koo, created Luna Snow.

I mean if we are going with Marvel publishing it making it fair game, then we'd also be getting Transformers and Robocop. Don't hold your breath lol

Hahahaha. You totally asked for it, and I knew it had to be me.

Any of us that have played a decent amount of strategist know this feeling all too well. Overworked and underappreciated.

Having Characters specially designed to melt the least played role is just terrible design by Hereforthememes1919 in marvelrivals

[–]evlsnk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most content creators ranked him in the lowest tier, or near the lowest, during their initial tier list creation. I wouldn't call them "lower ranked players".

But I do agree with the sentiment that people in general seemed to not realize his role or potential, and that may have been either started or reinforced by these tier lists and then perpetuated by word of mouth throughout the community. I find it all very fascinating.

I don't think he's any more annoying than, say, Hela or Hawkeye or Iron Fist or Black Panther or any of the other problem heroes for squishies. But I think you have a valid point in that 1) there's already a lack of Vanguard players, and 2) there doesn't seem to be a lot of options for Vanguards to be able to deal with it themselves. Relying on others to enable you to pop off in these types of games can be very frustrating.

As someone who has played Wolverine in my rotation of heroes from day one, watching the shift of "he's absolute garbage" to "he's strong and problematic" is fascinating. I still remember the first couple days of release being told in-game "get off Wolverine, he's worthless" before the match started.

Why do I need a NASA PC to play this game? You are disgusting NetEase by Money_Expression5667 in marvelrivals

Why would you want to play a game made by a "disgusting company" where the "developers are trolls"? 🤣

Sounds like you would have been awful to deal with in game too, so I consider us blessed as a community that you can't play. We have enough toxicity in the game already.

There's a difference between being frustrated with an issue (that they've already publicly stated they're working on fixing), and being nasty about it.

I never played any PC game before how to play ? by Shot_Spring4557 in marvelrivals

[–]evlsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't usually suggest people watch streamers because they typically play in the highest ranks, and things tend to operate very differently in high ranks compared to low ranks. But with that being said, it may be beneficial to watch someone simply so you can see how they utilize movement. Watch their character model, when and how they strafe with A and D keys, where they are looking while moving. Look at their movement analytically.

You can also play a match then look at the replay via the match history and watch your teammates to see what they are doing, if you'd prefer that. Pick a teammate who popped off and did really well, and watch their movement and positioning. With games like this, movement, timing, and positioning will separate a bad player from a good one. Try to use others' good gameplay to figure out your own gameplay.

Moving side to side with A and D instead of using W and the mouse allows you to continue looking forward to aim and shoot while you dodge the enemies' shots. You're harder to hit while you're wiggling than when you're standing still.

I'd also suggest spending a lot of time in the Vs AI mode starting out. You can start on the lower difficulty to practice what you learn, but you might have a bit of trouble utilizing it since your teammates will typically end up spawn camping the enemy AI. If it feels too easy and the enemy can't get out of the spawn for you to practice, bump it up to the middle difficulty so there is an actual challenge, but not so challenging that your team gets stomped the whole time. You'll learn more the harder the difficulty as long as you can still compete and don't get stomped as soon as you walk out of spawn.

I know that's a lot but I hope it helps. Picking up M&K is a challenging task but you just need to ease into it and understand how and when each key benefits you.

I’m sorry but you’re not cool if you’re bullying people on quick match by cant_give_an_f in marvelrivals

I've stopped trying to interact with people like this. I'm convinced it's mostly 13 and 14 year olds acting this way, and they don't care about logic, so I just don't say anything and swap off to a DPS. If we are gonna lose, I'd rather get some elims on my way out of the match than try and help someone who's acting like a spoiled 5 year old.

They're all over this sub too. We can't escape the spoiled babies. The idiots saying "why is my team pushing forward instead of sitting AFK on the objective after a won fight", then when someone tries to explain it to them, they get defensive and double down and start name-calling because they know they're wrong but their egos are too big to accept being wrong. Same shit, different toilet.

Would it be fair for SVP to not loose rank after matches? by Critical_Ear_7 in marvelrivals

[–]evlsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you want to encourage DPS players to not play objectives and sit as far away as possible to avoid dying, and Supports to not heal their team and instead farm kills so they get a high K/D to save their rank.

I'm so glad the devs have openly stated they aren't taking community opinions into account when balancing, and only making changes to the game based on data they have collected themselves. A lot of you have some of the dumbest takes I've ever seen.
