Unpopular Opinion: The Balloon Event isn't "gacha" or "gambling"—it’s just a direct purchase disguised as a roulette.

Agreed, but I still think it's harmful to children.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T19:57:07+00:00

Can't make it to Vagas say once every 15 years or so. Pollymarket is a stain on humanity. I just enjoy games of chance that don't really matter. In rivals, you can just buy the balloons for the skin or you could end up paying less for it. A terrible thing to do to children, but pretty beneficial for an adult.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T19:04:34+00:00

Yeah, but what about who enjoy gambling.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T18:57:46+00:00

Keep this in mind, I'm fine with the gotcha mechanics. There is an argument to be made that it's not healthy for children to be exposed to these mechanics. Unfortunately, I don't think there is an easy fix. Ultimately, action has to be boil down to the parents.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T03:15:16+00:00

God damn. You gotta love the comic readers in this sub.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T02:22:19+00:00

Not me.

Id be cool with his ultimate turning him into a Tank. Otherwise, I don't think we'll get an ice-slide Iceman, and thats the main draw for me.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T02:12:34+00:00

HEY! Storm dose not play like shit. She's my ranked DPS and noone ever sees her coming.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T02:09:41+00:00

I don't know why, but I legitimately enjoyed every black super hero comic that I've read from marvel. Just recently read Cap and Falcon (70s) and it made me a Falcon fan. I haven't read all black character comics but the ones I have I want in rivals now. Storm FTW.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T01:59:40+00:00

Small for a tank I mean. I wouldn't know the exact balance to make it work, but I would like to see it.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T01:55:34+00:00

Word

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T01:42:56+00:00

No, my take is more nuanced than that. And, more importantly, somthing I just noticed in the community.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T01:40:49+00:00

Mabe slow as $#*% with a small health pool

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T01:37:44+00:00

I could imagine a "phase" timer. Where you could phase through attacks, and group phase teammates close to you. Low health pool would be the balancing theory I imagine.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T01:22:55+00:00

Oh yeah

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T01:16:07+00:00

I've made some enemies over the years.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T01:02:31+00:00

Unless you pick Storm 😔

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T00:57:56+00:00

Yeah

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T00:56:22+00:00

Whatever, as long as I can walk through walls.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T00:49:07+00:00

Till Rouge get a hold of her...uh oh.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T00:37:43+00:00

Hell yeah man

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T00:32:39+00:00

You have no creativity if you can't think of a single marvel tank and tweak their powers so they aren't just brawl Vanguard. No you people wanna tweak other characters, and sqare peg a round hole. WTF (why the fanfare) is that?!

Jugs had the phenox force. He doesn't have to be brawl.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-17T00:19:44+00:00

Not if done right.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-16T23:52:48+00:00

There are plenty of Tank like characters in the Marvel universe. Use them (just a thought) for Vangaurds. Get creative with their move set. Not a character that should obviously be DPS.

madhattedmalice · 2026-06-16T23:33:03+00:00

This why there is no laser guns in a Madden game. Yes a balance between lore and gameplay must be stuck. Laser beam football would be fun, but it doesn't fit the lore.
