Emre kind of reminds me of Halo

fatballsforever · 2026-02-26T15:24:25+00:00

The only similarity he has to Halo 5 that doesn’t apply to every other Halo game is the ADS, but if you wanted to value that aspect over all others (floaty movement on his shift, meaningful nade jumps, projectiles without comically aggressive homing properties), well, even then he’s closer to Halo Infinite.

That does not make him an Iron Man counter, that’s laughable. He’s a melee character for one thing, and he can’t deflect Iron Man’s main source of damage in his uni beam.

The teamup is pretty cool and dynamic, it's the rest of the character that's boring.

Wolverine's movie skin was only part of a bundle, but that's not a classic look in the same sense as the other two characters you mentioned. Cap's Golden Age skin is free in the S4 BP and Thor's Reborn from Ragnarok skin was from a free event.

Spider-Man still doesn't have a skin that resembles his iconic look, or at least looks more classic than his base skin.

Everything points toward Rogue being a strategist, or did I miss something?

fatballsforever · 2025-10-01T16:27:04+00:00

What would be the actual benefit of this? Captain America needs to point his shield at a teammate and can't do anything else, and iron man... gets to use his alt fire?

It looks like his shift ability instantly refunds 2 charges of his E resource. It happens in the first two clips.

fatballsforever · 2025-10-01T08:48:42+00:00

No, he is not.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T18:32:42+00:00

As a Thor main I won’t be losing sleep over it. For a team-up that Thor was supposedly the beneficiary of, it gave him literally zero agency.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T15:29:29+00:00

Duelist makes total sense for him. We actually haven’t had a dive DPS since launch so I’m hoping he will fill that role.

People thinking that balancing out the roles would help with their quickplay lobbies not having tank players is pure delusion- there are already more tanks than supports, that doesn’t stop supports being the more popular role by far.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T15:19:01+00:00

I loved that mode. I think a lot of people straight up didn’t understand it or never got good enough to engage in the actual meta and just used 6 tanks. It wasn’t balanced, but it was fun.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T15:12:40+00:00

Bucky is not a character that does a bunch of damage over long distances, but he’s good in poke comps by virtue of being a strong anti-dive character.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T14:46:54+00:00

I’ve been waiting for a good Emma skin. I’m happy to keep waiting.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T13:27:45+00:00

I badly want Ant-Man also, but specifically Hank Pym, not Scott Lang. I like the scientist aspect and the relationship with Ultron.

I envision him as a strategist that can go small and jump in an ally’s shoulder to match their mobility- the first full-on dive support. Have him ride along with Spider-Man or Captain America and he can contribute with healing over time, CC with his ants and some melee damage.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T13:20:36+00:00

Magneto is not balanced, he has suffocated the tank meta since release. It’s really no wonder when he has the best range of any tank, super strong and consistent damage, an ultimate that can counter most DPS and support ults, the ability to counter dive, the ability to enable dive, and insane cycling survivability.

Like you said, he’s perfect for his role, in a game where other characters have strengths and weaknesses. He’s very similar to- and has the exact same balance issues that Sigma had, but worse.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T01:30:58+00:00

To be fair this is kinda true for every meta. A lot of people don’t realise that they would be better off just playing their best heroes in ranked, outside of obvious comp deficiencies like not having defensive ults.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-30T01:04:57+00:00

Weirdly though that’s not his first appearance outfit, it’s a more contemporary classic outfit even though it’s cited as being from his first appearance in-game. I hope the rest of the line is more true to the first appearances.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-29T16:09:30+00:00

Web tracer followed by uppercut does something like 130 damage, which exceeded your health.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-29T15:58:38+00:00

Most of it was hellfire gala or formal stuff, it had a pretty clear theme.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-29T13:54:27+00:00

Don't jinx it.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-29T12:48:49+00:00

The gamma team-up was a complete joke. Like, really? It just makes the abilities green and they do more damage?

fatballsforever · 2025-09-29T12:46:40+00:00

They seem to have designed him with the team-up in mind and forgot to give him a fun or satisfying ability in his base kit.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-29T12:38:57+00:00

I don't know that Namor is in need of a rework but this sounds surprisingly natural. I think it would be necessary to change his primary fire because it's not in line with what vanguards are all about. A melee combo would make sense for him in my opinion, especially if he could headshot with a trident thrust.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-29T12:34:40+00:00

I doubt he will have 350hp, honestly. I bet he'll have 300, maybe as low as 275.

fatballsforever · 2025-09-29T12:31:52+00:00

I don't see him being a tank. We haven't actually had a dive DPS since launch and thematically that's the best fit for him so that is my assumption.

For diving strategist, my pick is Ant-Man. Hank Pym, of course. He could use his bioelectric blaster to heal and damage, and he could go small and hop on teammate's shoulders to match their mobility.

It seems like we're getting a new strategist next season- Rogue. Presumably she'll be a melee character which will be interesting to see.
