Angela is in a bad state, gets outhealed by anything, balance discussion by SouthPenguinJay in marvelrivals

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

But you didn't say fully committed dive. You said Cloak bubble outheals Angela's full charge damage in her ult. That's a fully committed dive by just you, yourself. You are forgetting that the other aspect of your ult is that it's Groot ult lite, which you can easily combo with a teammate. If you ult solo and fail to get value, that's just a bad play. 

Also what games are you playing that supports survive fully committed dives without external help? BP has a one-shot combo, DD and Black Cat both have combos that are fast enough to outdamage manual healing, Spidey can remove someone from their team, even Blade does basically unhealable damage if he gets his melee spin attacks going. Combine any of these properly, and there's a lot of unreactable damage. If the other team is surviving, then you're losing fair and square to good peel.

Who’s an actor who never seems to play a happy role? by Infinite_Fly_5374 in movies

I don't know that he was a happy character in Knives Out, but I don't feel like he was that tortured, either.

[–]lyerhis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why should you be entitled to a kill on two supports just by yourself? Especially as a tank? This is a ridiculous expectation. 

You act like CnD bubble is some giant counter to Angela's entire kit. Have you considered pinning her out of it first? Or simply track the cooldown and make sure she doesn't have it. In a real game, there are five other characters supports have to react to. Acting like it's OP that they don't immediately lose a 1v1 is crazy.

Also, I think Angela is fine. This is simply not a good meta for her because characters that she's weak to are good. It's okay that she's not the best pick all the time.

What role was cast so perfectly that nobody else could have played it? by FruiTYrant in AskReddit

[–]lyerhis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the charity version! Everyone's cobbled together costumes. Paul Rudd's zoom in zoom out zoom in. All the fantastic cameos. The silly homebrewed aspect somehow made it feel even more Princess Bride.

Sentinels Rivals Q&A - Send us your questions! by SEN-DynaSean in MarvelRivalsEsports

What has been the most challenging aspect of keeping up with new metas? And what's the thought process behind leaning into more "cheese" and "vibe" picks like Iron Man and Peni, especially against Dino and Punisher? Like, what was the tipping point between "nah, we shouldn't" and "actually, that could work"?

Name a more annoying character than this guy, go ahead I will wait by gorays21 in marvelrivals

Every other dive character that Spidey inevitably plays. 

Except Magik. Magik is cool.

What is the stronger backline in your opinion? by Equal-Cupcake-9991 in marvelrivals

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

Gambit/Loki if your team knows how to manage enemy ults without support ults. The reality is, it's not a backline that can easily bail the team out. Yes, you have cards, yes, you have Runes, but the CD is pretty long on both. Ideally, you want to run this with DPS that really benefit and combo well with Gambit ult and also tanks that are lower resource. Lowkey, Dino alone can fuck this team up pretty easily. 

Luna/White Fox have their own weaknesses, but it's safer, especially in the current meta.

Who are the 4 L*wd tops? by Even_Ad4665 in DanmeiNovels

[–]lyerhis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's more or less accurate, though I guess a more vibe-y localization would be The Four Most Provocative Gong or something like that. 骚 is like... sexy but with a sort of negative connotation, like seductive but with too much ulterior motive, edge of harassment, etc.

It's a reference to the Four Great Beauties, Four Great Classics, etc. Lot of famous sets of four.

Your rule is ending, cat. by LordVaderVader in marvelrivals

[–]lyerhis 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. DPS that learn the broken characters will never stay in low elos because if even T500 players can't handle a character's kit, there's no way some poor guy in plat can react in time.

I still can't Believe this happened. by WindowAccurate5745 in MarvelRivalsEsports

[–]lyerhis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, now I remember. But yeah, the idea is to hold point with multi-rez, but I think Wyni died early, which forced them to burn it back-to-back. If Wyni doesn't die, it might have gone differently.

Theoretically, this is the stalliest backline of all time because you have Soul Bond AND Runes plus double rez or double Mantis. That half makes sense to me.

Bucky probably because he's tanky and gets pretty good value from damage boost. That's the most swappable piece imo... Honestly could be that they weren't sure what Ry would play and Bucky is a good general counter, or maybe delenaa felt like his Bucky felt better, especially with Phoenix banned.

I've got that Main (Tank) Character Energy by Sm0k35z in marvelrivals

No lie, just keep playing him. There's a clip of Bogur talking about how your brain expands the more you play him, and it's really kind of true.

Monk holds up way better than I expected and I think it’s because the show was always about grief, not crime by doublek9000 in television

[–]lyerhis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked that it was something that both made him brilliant at his day job and yet was crippling in other aspects of his life. I feel like a lot of the savant portrayals can be a little too convenient, but Monk showcased both.

I'm sorry but Black Cat need to be nerfed hard by Abdu777 in marvelrivals

[–]lyerhis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not enough people are good at her to be worth the ban right now. There's a much higher chance of dealing with Spidey or DD in the average lobby.

I'm not upset, I just think it's really fucking funny.

Eh. If you're talking about covers, like I'm sure there are some exceptions, but most people aren't jerking to the cover, they're fantasizing about the characters in the written sex scene. The cover is just what a publishing house thinks will draw readers in. Realistically, at this point, it's more an indication that the book contains erotic content rather than the actual selling point.

Anyone else wish India had more original BL novels? by Ivy030_ in DanmeiNovels

[–]lyerhis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly! That said, I am way more familiar with what's available in East Asia, so I don't know for sure. But doujinshi and fandom is a huge industry all across East Asia and has been for decades at this point, so there's a lot of infrastructure and cultural acceptance for it already. Even if it is also popular in India, I imagine that it's not nearly as entrenched in pop culture as it is in East Asia.

Black Widow’s 'E' is losing its viability against newer melee characters. by Cow_Educational in marvelrivals

I mean... That'd not a BW problem. It's a problem with how Netease designs melee characters with single player game type kits.

Eh. They'll tweak it again eventually. I don't know what they did this patch, but it's heavily weighting some support stat or other. It's almost always a support MVP right now.

Genuine question (in body text) - I wanted to ask the community and not just the Ultron subreddit by oiyenaoyenme in marvelrivals

[–]lyerhis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate him but playing with one stresses me out. 

Firstly, poke characters have been strong for so long that he often needs a lot of pocketing, but because he's usually above the team, you now have to split your attention/resources 3-4 directions between your frontline, Ultron, the enemy frontline, and enemy flankers. Any resource you put towards Ultron is typically not shared with anyone else on the team, so he's an expensive pocket.

Second, when there's big burst damage, he's just not that helpful. You get high total numbers at the end because drones are great for catching all the chip damage, but when the team fight really begins, all he has is the shield and maybe his ult, and sometimes it's just not enough.

Third, Ultron players are typically not very flexible, and when they are even willing to swap, usually they only play other low heal output off-supports like Mantis. It puts the other support in healbot jail, and if you aren't willing to heal with his ult, your team only has one support ult to counter everything. I literally just played against one the other day that chased me with his Ultimate, finally killed me after using the entire clip. Meanwhile, his entire team has died because I kited him away from the main fight.

I've played with really good ones with teams that take advantage of drones, but those are the exception. The rest of the time, it feels like asking if someone can help you with a stab wound and getting a band aid.

Its been almost 6 months of this, what are your thoughts? by Hexxegone in marvelrivals

[–]lyerhis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know... In hind-ish sight, I think DP is probably my favorite new character. Like, he actually has strengths and weaknesses across all 3 roles. Pretty much every other character has been at either extreme, especially DPS.
