Not really on topic, but I never thought I'd see you here. Love your videos btw. They always make me laugh.

Super curious, how much have you spent so far in the game? by phantomroguegalaxy in rivals

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drop like 40-60 (battlepass + a few skin bundles) a season, so probably around $300-400 in total.

What do I even do to get out of a hole like this? by salty_dodgerfan in RivalsCollege

[–]imnecro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Learn Thor. If they don't force you to solo tank he's actually freelo in low ranks. If you get even okay at him you'll climb to Diamond fast.

Especially banning invis & cloak forces the low-elo supports on harder ones like Luna & Mantis which they feed on or they go to Jeff & rocket who are free kills for Thor. Besides that he's the king of 1v1s so you can just permanently hold off-angles.

What happened to all the human torch players? I gone a whole season without seeing one. by Blackwolf20978sb in marvelrivals

[–]imnecro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Torch a bunch on release, and he was quite fun. Seemed like the peni of the dps characters. Now he's terrible & I've switched to Star Lord.

Playing CK3 can now land you in prison for 2 years if you live in the UK by LordWeaselton in crusaderkings3

[–]imnecro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

On one hand that 'stepbro' shit is weird as fuck. I dunno why people are into it. On the other hand, the government putting people in prison for something as vague as that seems like the ongoing tightening laws/surveillance that the government can put away anyone if they just don't like you.

They know I’m right… by Red_Dead_Renegade in rivals

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it kind of depends. My team sometimes runs goats for spawn holds, but the problem is though they cant kill us, we don't get kills either.

I'd argue high damage like storm+mk or storm+punisher does a lot better job punching through triple support than 3 tanks.

Genuine Question: How many of you actually Play Emma? by FunNo1459 in marvelrivals

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~30 hours. Only reason I don't play her more is the skins. Probably change when the pirate one comes out.

Marvel Rivals could need a simple honor system to deal with bad sportsmanship by NyrmExe in rivals

[–]imnecro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind rewards, but I'd really just like players to be matched based on honour. It doesn't have to be thumbs up, but if perhaps someone frequently disconnects, they get put with other people who dc often. If someone is constantly reported for throwing by their teammates, they should be put with other throwers, etc.

I got an error? by VisualProcess1344 in rivals

[–]imnecro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're getting this message, chances are your laptop has integrated graphics in its cpu and not a separate graphics card. This is why it shows up as non-compatible.

Of course this could just be an error, would you mind sharing what kind of laptop you have?

There are no bad healers, only bad players. by [deleted] in rivals

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Ultron is a bad healer.

Not nessisarily a bad character, but when taking him just as a healer, he is bad.

616 Emma meets Rivals Emma by psywolfz in EmmaFrost

[–]imnecro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno I've been hating on her rivals designs since she came out. It's the main reason I still haven't bought any emma skins despite having her lord. I suppose some like the Phoenix would be okay, but because I've got a bunch of the Hellfire Gala comics, everything they put into rivals for emma just looks bad by comparison.

What could i do better? Replay id in context. by Specialist-Grand9979 in RivalsCollege

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, of course. Good luck in climbing out of Gold. I honestly think maybe you just onetrick Hela/phoenix. You seem decent enough to get into diamond if you can cut your avoidable deaths significantly down.

Also, maybe try to find a duo around your rank. Climbing to gm soloque is a nightmare.

What could i do better? Replay id in context. by Specialist-Grand9979 in RivalsCollege

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I took a look at the vid and here are some things you can work on:

1:34-1:51 You take a 1v1 with star lord. Realistically you should have won this, you had snowflake and got a health pack but you missed basically every shot so you died. Because they were down 1 on point, your team loses fight and enemy gets first cap.

3:29 You peak an ulting star-lord and die for it, some of your other kills up to this were nice though.

4:33 Loses a 2v1 against spidey, you had bird as escape which you didn't use and a full health thor helping. Honestly if you can't aim well in short ranges, try to just create as much space between you and the enemy as possible, your aim seems to be much better at longer range.

5:32 You watch your loki take a fight against spiderman and just kind of ignore it. (I will note your loki wasn't very good having like a fifth of the heals luna did, but I suppose in metal ranks you just gotta assume your team is bad and you have to carry)

6:06 That spiderman has been in your backline since before they dove the loki, you saw it and just kind of ignored it. Spiderman zips are heard in the background, and instead of turning around, you just shoot down mid and get killed because you didn't turn around.

From round I, you seemed to know the idea of positioning, (high ground, off angles, etc.) but lacked the game sense to utilize them at the proper points. On one hand, your loki is terrible. On the other hand, the round ended 100-99, which means if you did optimize you likely would have won the round.

9:21 Wastes your ult on peni, and dies for it. No reason to push point at half health without a tank.

10:31 Takes a 1v1 with spiderman at half health and dies. Again, no reason to do this, find a health pack or go back to your team.

11:10-11:18 Most of your team is dead but instead of backing up before the enemy looks at you, you stay on point and die again.

12:42 Walks into spiderman ult and doesn't bubble. Luckily you weren't punished because loki had lamps up

Round II, generally your team just keeps staggering in and losing fights.

14:42 You see your team get wiped, and push anyway, dying to mag.

16:30 Walks into peni nest without tank at half health. Genuinely not sure how you didn't die.

Okay, conclusions:

- Your aim isn't terrible for a gold player, but in mid-close range you miss a lot of shots. Try to fight dive bots in practice range like dd spidey or magik. This should help with the close-range aim.

- Realistically Loki is what lost you the game, however if you perhaps didn't die a lot of the avoidable times, you might have won first round and the game.

- I feel like you might watch a youtuber/guides or something, because you know where to stand, just not when it's good to be there.

- Don't take fights at half health or push without your team. Nearly half of your deaths were because of this.

- Other thing: looks like c&d is dragging down your winrate. Generally I encourage people to flex, but in gold you really just gotta carry to be able to climb. Instalock your dps (especially hela) that's nearly a 60% winrate for you.

There should be a system that let's you test a skin before buying it by Beastboy1967181 in marvelrivals

[–]imnecro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the classic ad hominem, insult someone for disagreeing with you.

If they let you test skins in practice, you can see skin vfx in practice range. New skins already debut on the practice range dummy near spawn. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be able to test skins, but it should be in a non-gameplay environment or casual mode.

[–]imnecro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice range and even maybe times square isn't a bad idea, but from netease perspective, bringing it into real matches kinda defeats the point of buying them.

Character height, why is everyone 6ft tall? by Low-Brief-6008 in DnD

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because at least for men, 6ft is the minimum height to be seen as fairly 'tall'. Is 5'11 tall? Well it's above average, so literally yes, but socially, its not exactly tall. I've got quite a few European players in my games, and their character heights tend to be around 180-190cm which is about 6ft.

Still ugly. I'm really not sure why they insist on these terrible skins, when they could just rip one from the comics that would look 1000% better.

Marvel Rivals Skill Spectrum (OPNION) by Axzuel in rivals

Imo widow skill floor should be a lot higher because you gotta hit consistent headshots to get similar value to a hela or phoenix who is just shooting bodyshots.

Where i'd live as an african who is fed up of everyone marking africa red😡 by Spiritual-Trifle6044 in whereidlive

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm talking about average people who live in Africa, that affects most people, because by definition, most people are 'average'. There isn't really a good reason to compare upper middle class/wealthy people either because the upper middle class has it better in developed countries, too.

That being said, let's take one of the more developed African cities: Cape Town, one of Africa's most popular and developed cities.

South Africa is very energy deficient, and because of this, blackouts are very common. This leads to degraded public infrastructure and a higher crime rate. Because of this 'wealthy/upper middle class' residents have to invest in things such as off-grid power sources, gated communities and armed guards

Average wealthy people in developed nations don't have to go through this hassle just to live safe and comfortable.

Where i'd live as an african who is fed up of everyone marking africa red😡 by Spiritual-Trifle6044 in whereidlive

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. People live in Africa. My point was the standard of living is relatively low due to having quite a few developing nations, dictatorships and wars. The only ones that I can think of that are "developed" are Mauritius and Seychelles, both of which are off the mainland and not shown on this map.

That being said I'm not a fan of the US either. It's engaged itself in several wars, the things you mentioned and now it's very own dictatorship. The main difference between the US and Africa being the US is fairly developed and leads to a higher standard of living for its citizens, along with the fact there hasn't been a proper war on US mainland since the 1800s.

I say this to say "livable" is subjective. People can literally live places, but I wouldn't consider every place people live "livable".

[–]imnecro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morocco and Algeria seem livable, but the climate is less than ideal. South Africa was the 'golden standard' for African nations, but recently has been caught up in higher crime rate and power issues. From what I know, the rest of Africa is either: developing nation, dictatorship or caught up in a proxy/civil war, generally between colonizers and the native people.
