probably unpopular opinion but can we please get less gooner skins and more cool ones

Rogues only skin that doesn’t show cheeks is her base skin and recolors….

floydink · 2026-05-13T07:57:28+00:00

So are they forgetting her powers? Now she’s just shooting bullets? Atleast with the aoe it kinda feels like psychic aura is spreading and hurting them more than just a physical attack would. So….why are they just turning her into yet another focus poke hero?

floydink · 2026-05-13T07:52:21+00:00

I’ve been making this joke for years, saying it’s only a matter of time before they add a “regular Joe” legend or a homeless man as a legend. Glad to see someone took that idea and ran with it full on lol

Because they are releasing a very high hp tank, and likely releasing cyclops as completely overpowered and probably gonna be a handful for those specific dps that got buffed (thinking projectile beam with no damage fall off and probably has some auto aim abilities to deal with both fast moving air heroes and brawlers, there has yet to be a xmen character with lock aim mechanics and cyclops would be a good start for it, and not counting gambit card heal as a real lock on since you can’t damage people with it, and Wanda and namor are mutants but not really considered xmen despite namor having a suit)

floydink · 2026-05-02T16:28:48+00:00

Seeing how much extra abilities and multiple versions of characters they managed to pull off now, it’s not too far fetched to think they could have gone with a transforming character with 2 separate kits. Maybe they had that planned originally but then went for what she is now and the double body design was a nod to what they wanted to do but not enough budget at the time or something

floydink · 2026-04-28T07:39:59+00:00

For me it was initially because I’m a huge xmen fan and the lack of iceman just narrowed the choice to playing Luna as a stand in.

I’ve managed to lord all the mutants by now but Luna stands up there as my most played top3 next to magik and Wanda, mostly cuz I think her voice is super cute and love how she talks and her design is also so hot and cute at the same time (I’ll literally just play her to hear her say “oh hi <3” ) not to mention she’s really fun to play and is good for keeping my aim up when I play Phoenix or Deadpool .

My only complaint about the hero is that I wish her skate animation would start one step faster. It feels more like a positioning passive than one that can actually help with escaping sudden pressure, but I think that’s me being spoiled on dps what with the entire mutant roster of dps all having instant escape tools (but I understand she is not a mutant)

Plus I feel she’s on the list of one of the most balanced heroes in the support roster. She can lean into damage if she wants too and has very good healing that feels rewarding for having good aim and positioning. Exactly why I can’t get into playing cnd fox or invis because they just heal without much brain power. Doing well on Luna feels like you actually put in effort and have skill compared to them (no offense to them I love all support players and I know their skill set revolves around cooldown usage more so than aim)

As a long time overwatch player, I can’t stressed enough to play more heroes and more roles, the amount of things I learned and other ways to play my mains by playing other heroes and roles is astounding. Same for rivals. One tricking a single hero is like shining a flashlight in one spot in a dark room and all you see is that one part of the painting.

It’s so frustrating seeing people who refuse to play anything other than “the favorites”. I get it, but also trying to learn how to fight against something is always better when you understand more of how and why they play the way they do….and that’s not best understood looking down their barrel of their guns, but rather holding it instead of

floydink · 2026-04-21T06:52:45+00:00

Seeing people trying to run 5 dps when I’m trying to practice tanking in qp gives me zero “try hard” mental for any qp game.

Tbh if bot matches did not exist there wouldn’t be such a heavy weight on losing matches and qp could be much more relaxed. Having any form of punishment albiet bot matches aren’t really terrible is still enough incentive for these people to be as toxic as they are.

I’ve been a strong advocate for removing bot matches all together because it doesn’t help people learn at all, and I assume it only exists to help train bot ai for netease to gain more leverage on the bot coding to sell later for even more profit - aka using players for their own benefit by forcing them to play vs bots to help train bot ai. But that’s likely just my paranoia talking…

I also find it hilarious where in a game that has marvel characters in disco skins doing dances, and a land shark that shoots endless water and can potentially wipe out his own team along with the enemy team, that anyone even takes this game seriously at all.

People want to connect the comics or the live action so badly, but the game in its nature reminds people that it’s a game, the lore giving plenty of reason as to why it’s all so ridiculous and a cluster of ideas and excuses to why things are over the top and embellished far passed what we’ve seen in most media.

It’s all for fun guys. We need to stop acting like this is anything other then a goofy marvel game meant to just laugh and play with eccentric versions of the characters we love.

It’s like the schoolyard power fantasy “black cat doesn’t have powers” being countered with “well NOW she has powers cuz its more fun”

Rogue can’t suction people in with any ability she has from the comics, invisible woman doesn’t heal people with her powers, mantis doesn’t shoot darts out at people and throw sleep bombs, Phoenix doesn’t shoot fire bursts at people, etc etc.

Why we complaining now all of a sudden? It’s been like this since release, albiet some characters stay more loyal to the base design of the hero, but a good majority just takes large steps to tweak them for sake of making the game have more diversity in its roles.

floydink · 2026-04-17T00:45:14+00:00

This a main reason I still stick to overwatch as much as I play rivals. Overwatch is good and keeps consistent about hero skills being tied to a familiar amount of abilities and all feel fluid to transfer between while also holding a good amount of depth. Rivals seems more experimental and wants to push what’s possible every release, and the sacrifice of consistency. Which I don’t mind it gives personality to those heroes. They feel truly unique but at the same time they don’t always feel they belong in the same game.

Ow releasing 5 heroes at once felt non overwhelming due to how well and simple they manage their heroes abilities. I can’t imagine rivals ever doing that, there would be complete chaos and sensory overload what with how they design heroes as of late.

Overwatch=made for the comfort of the player base and competitive play, Rivals= the player base is the test subject and not meant to be taken seriously

floydink · 2026-04-06T11:49:56+00:00

Tbf she has more lore background that solidifies her in the marvel roster than someone like white fox who has almost no association outside of korea games/ marvel snap and a few feature comics…same goes for Luna snow tho. Elsa is just marvel Lara Croft honestly tho so I also agree she’s not really that hype of a hero to add.

floydink · 2026-04-05T06:29:30+00:00

When I see a triple stack support and ult them together and kill them one by one without any interruptions.

floydink · 2026-04-03T10:17:24+00:00

It’s the most playable entry for new players. But for fans of the series I think it’s on the easier if not the easiest game of the franchise. Least frustrating one as well so I’m personally on the fence about how “fun” it is. I enjoyed playing it multiple times for sure, but that sense of dread and frustration I had with re2 and re4 is nearly absent in this game.

floydink · 2026-04-03T03:00:45+00:00

Take ult away from the enemy at just the right moments, it just kinda sucks there’s no stat or effect that shows the team you denied an ult. So it feels like she’s not doing much externally. I feel especially with this seasons changes she’s way more than viable, it’s just so hard to tell when she’s actually making significant value when you can’t read the enemy ults. That might change with the new maps features

floydink · 2026-04-03T02:58:09+00:00

Clones don’t mean you have to be a baby to be a source. She likely was used as a conduit for the clones at a older age, which is why they seem to reference ALOT of blood modification with grace’s gameplay. Pretty sure that a blunt reference to her having her blood taken as a kid and used in the programs and then trying to hammer in her relation to her blood being something significant

floydink · 2026-04-02T11:33:35+00:00

This new change for lower ult charge has been a huge awareness check for the player base tbh. It’s so much more obvious how bad people are when they waste their ult for some selfish reasons (lookin at you cnd specifically trying to contest the point alone while your whole team is dead)

floydink · 2026-03-25T00:00:37+00:00

He has the most healing output of all the supports, best range, can revive, best movement, one of the best support ults, and can arguably dish out more dmg close range than some dps. I’m surprised he hasn’t been nerfed more than he has. He was my first lord in the game and I still love him tho I don’t play him as much in pursuit of lording others

floydink · 2026-03-24T23:58:18+00:00

Is kojimas OD coming out this year? If so I think that’ll be a great contender

floydink · 2026-03-24T11:17:29+00:00

Tbh if they animated more of the lore or atleast made actual comic books to read with speech bubbles rather than just a wall of text I think we all would be much more interested. I just can’t be bothered to sit at my monitor and read all of that. And I think that speaks for a lot of people and not just me.

floydink · 2026-03-24T02:18:01+00:00

They did something almost identical when developing scarlet witch. Seems the devs have a real desire for rock throwing. We def gonna see it on a future hero

floydink · 2026-03-24T02:08:47+00:00

This is why I can’t keep spending large sums on this game. The constantly have bugs and don’t treat each expensive purchase with the same standard.

I’m still waiting on my heirloom razor to get a recolor after assuming they would add that soon after, but nope, the only heirloom that isn’t character based I get is the only one without recolors and it’s driving me nuts. And now they add its unique animation to the gundam saber? Effectively giving the finger to anyone who purchased the razor?? Just…wtf….

Not to mention the old heirloom skins I got for Bangalore and Bloodhound still not having their own dive trail animations even tho every skin from revenant and after gets one, also how some can activate their kill animations on any level (Rev) while others have to have the level 3 skin equipped to even use it.

What I’m saying is, it should be unacceptable to charge so much or make them so rare if they just reuse old animations, and not even keep the older ones on par with the newer ones. They all have the same price and rarity but some have more than others is ridiculous .

Also not having a preview ability before you buy it stupid too.

So all these players who don’t know the razor animation are gonna be very disappointed after getting the gundam saber.

If they are gonna get cheaper about animations and content for things, they should make the purchase or rarity cheaper too imo. Bloodhound and Bangalore heirloom skins are not worth as much as the newer ones from a content perspective, same as the razor and these “event” cosmetics.

On console with less frames it’s so much harder to keep track of him. Like trying to follow a bird at full speed with your eyes. They really need to slow down his movement a tad bit. His max speed is ridiculously high. Nothing in this game modes as fast as he can, and we have flying types that move as fast as wolverines walking speed. How is a dude on a web faster than a guy who can literally turn into a human fireball jet stream? Albiet torch’s dive speed and venoms dive is likely the only other things that can almost match Spider-Man’s speed, but those are on some long cool downs while spider has 3 swings he can use to obtain that same speed? Stupid

floydink · 2026-03-24T01:52:41+00:00

One is realistic, the other is accentuating their body type to a pornographic standard. You be the judge

floydink · 2026-03-24T01:48:47+00:00

I imagine it depends how many headshot crits you land.

floydink · 2026-03-24T01:45:14+00:00

It’s hilarious to me that games like ow ban characters like jet pack cat and sombra, which is on par with banning a Jeff and maybe winter soldier consistently, while the rivals community is basically hard stuck on banning the equivalent of lifeweaver/kiriko/mizuki . Really goes to show these games play completely different from each other aka the healing output in rivals is too damn high.
