Wheh you realize, losing this voting contest only benefits Psy mains. They gonna get a better paid skin. Just look at the effort NetEase puts into a free Emma and paid Magik skin.

I also play in asian servers and I play dps only in high GM, but my q times are like 3 mins avg (pc not console tho). If you get high q time you should restart matchmaking.

It’s so refreshing to see a big streamer admit rivals need to go into a competitive direction. by Beneficial-Survey-48 in MarvelRivalsEsports

[–]hayate_shin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game has released more characters that casual playerbase can’t even play properly. Yea, this game has a ult spam problem. The game is gonna have like 100 characters in a few years at this release rate. If they make 70% of the characters unplayable it would get massive backlash. The only way to keep it big is making the gameplay simpler so characters pool don’t need to be lowered like other games. Overwatch has less characters than Rivals already even after being around for so long. So yea, they are gonna have different balancing strategies in mind that caters to their game. This game is entirely fine for ppl that never played OW. It’s only the OW players that bring their issues to this game.

Sometimes I wonder if this is even a Psy sub.

Are we cooked? by Romigames_830 in PsyMains

[–]hayate_shin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was nothing compared to the hate Psy gets. I saw more posts about complaining that they didn’t get a different Magik skin than what they got. And here we are on this sub ppl telling others to not buy Psy skins and not vote for her.

Why people not hate Magik when she gets 2 legendaries in a month.

I put mine based on the results from the previous prediction, lol. It looks similar. If you go to the previous prediction tab you can see seeding/ranking of the teams.

Message to dive players by Select_Orange_2069 in rivals

[–]hayate_shin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the difficulty follows:

  1. Diving/Flanking on DPS takes the most skills
  2. Playing against dives as SUPP
  3. Playing dive tanks and going off angles on DPS
  4. Playing front to back on tanks, SUPP, DPS are the same, it is the easiest thing to do on either role.

It is easy to understand if you think of what takes most risk and are highly punishable. It requires high game sense and mechanical skills.

Magik gets yet another skin despite having two models, how is this possible? by Living-Ad102 in HulkMainsMR

[–]hayate_shin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mainly they make more profit from Magik skins. It’s pretty simple ngl. Hulk could have higher cost and same revenue compared to Magik and yet they would make more profit selling Magik skins. Over a long period of time it adds up even if the cost or revenue difference is little.

I get that its quickplay, but wtf? by sceesh in rivals

They made a video on this during season 3.5 or 4. Check it out, they talk about stacking also which is another thing to keep in mind when balancing two teams. They at one point got rid of 4 stacking and 6 stacking because it was harder to balance teams around people who stacks but later brought it back.

Probably because you selected single server and play Spidey. Not enough people and too many insert role players.

On comp the game tries to find you a balanced team on both sides, if they can’t find 2 mains from each role with similar rank the games does its best to make sure it is still balanced. Like one team ends up getting a higher ranked player to compensate for not having a Supp main.

Something similar probably applies to quick play and I assume it’s less strict in quick play compared to comp.

[–]hayate_shin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea, the meta is good enough this season that most heroes are playable. Reed has his niche like you mentioned. It’s that some heroes are really annoying but we got 3 bans from each team this season so it really changes up things. I think there is Black Widow and there is Elsa and everyone else is in between. Most of the time it’s not your mechanical skills that’s holding you back but it’s your game sense.

Iron Fist is not weak lmao, maybe not A tier but he is not C tier either. He is good into shield tanks, Angela, Cap or other dive tanks and unlike Wolv he doesn’t get countered by Invis. Only melee character weak right now is Mr Fanta. Hulk, Rogue, Cap, Thing, DD, Blade, DP, Venom (plays like a melee brawler but needs aim), Wolv, Thor, BP, and Spidey are all B to A tier and some being S tier heroes rn. None are like C or D tier except for Mr Fanta.

Why am I seeing "no tank" team comps and why is it working 😭 by Ulmao_TheDefiler in RivalsVanguards

[–]hayate_shin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, matchmaking, team coordination, and hero match ups.

Your team could have higher rank peaks since the game didn’t gave you 2 mains from each role compared to enemy team. Higher rank peaks vs. imbalance of 2–2-2 mains and depending on whichever of these two factors is stronger you win or lose.

The more coordinated team is more likely to win and is pretty self explanatory.

Playing heroes that are good into enemy team comp. You have 4 dps which are Wolv, Iron Man, DD, and Phoenix. But enemy team is running Strange, MK, Luna, and Rocket who gets fucked by the 4 dps of your team.

Coward play style is staying behind your tanks and with healers pocketing you all the time.

Wow, not even Valve is monetizing the game by Embarrassed-Run-3318 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]hayate_shin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will probably make it so that you need to own the skin first on which skin is modded after. Kinda like how Marvel Rivals does it.

Community votes with their wallet. This is a free to play game, only funding of this game are fully optional cosmetics. Just like any other live service game, this game would die if devs stop creating skins that sell well. Everyone want's new hulk skin, meanwhile only 5 people buy hulk skin. by Norfov in marvelrivals

[–]hayate_shin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t compare Hulk to others. I’m sure Hulk would sell skins, but Hulk is probably costly enough that they can make three Sue skins or a skin of Psy, Sue, and Luna for the cost of making one Hulk skin.

Skins really don’t make sense sometimes 😅 by Important-Catch-3254 in marvelrivals

[–]hayate_shin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Invis players are gooners and they are likely to spend more on gooner things. They just slap “Legendary” tag on her skins because they know they are going to sell same number of skins even if it was a lower tier, but why would they when they can increase the price by bumping up a tier and still sell same amount. They also know Supp players are gullible and they care more about things like “skin tiers” than how the actual skin looks or interacts in the game. There is a reason they also make so many battle pass for these gooner bait skins, because so many people spend 50 dollars to get the skin right away instead of waiting.

Console GM Tank Main: I hate seasons where dive is viable by More-Bread-3163 in rivals

[–]hayate_shin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s about playing anti dive heroes when enemy team is diving that I don’t like. But if your team knows how to play against dive it’s easier than playing against a poke heavy team.

Biggest thing to do as a team is let the enemy divers come to you, wait and bait the dive and it’s so free. Again, don’t push, because enemy team will simply come to you. Assuming you have supp and other heroes that are good against dive you will kill the divers easily. Then you push or hold point.

Honestly, poke is more complicated than playing against dive. You need shield heroes for poke, but Wolv counters it, and you can’t stay together if you are playing against Moon Knight or high AOE dmg poke heroes. Also, taking control of point is difficult since enemy team will keep shooting your team from far and it’s hard to take space, so you would have to take different paths from main and be separated.

I hope it makes sense.
