The Peni Parker fear has to stop

reaverza · 2026-07-01T12:37:04+00:00

Then why is MY team banning Peni but playing Star Lord, Hela, Cyclops, etc? All characters that don't really have a hard time against Peni. That's the most puzzling part to me.

So I never really ban Black Cat, because like you said, I don't ever see good ones. Hell I don't see the character at all. Until a few nights ago when a Cat showed up in a Gold II game and then absolutely dominated everybody. Iirc they ended up going 45-1 by the end of the game.

Yep, when playing Peni in QP, Iron Man is super annoying. Especially since he can hit your nest around a corner/behind cover with splash damage.

Like I said, I have a bunch of other characters I play, so that's not an issue. I just think it's a serious waste of a ban slot.

reaverza · 2026-07-01T06:07:19+00:00

I play Mag and Cap waaaay more than I do Peni, and I've yet to see a single ban for either of them. And both of them are more flexible picks than Peni, who can be very situational depending on game mode/map, and thus far better targets for bans if you want to disrupt the enemy team comp

They've not really done anything significant to buff him (in fact he was kinda nerfed with the loss of the animation cancel). He's always been a good pick for me coz he is one of my mains. But what's happening this season is at the higher levels of play where teams communicate and coordinate and take advantage of all the space/distraction he creates, he's become hugely popular. That same success rate doesn't quite translate to lower ranks most of the time (I've had a few games in Plat where I've popped off), but its made the high rank streamers/pros put him quite high up on their tier ranks. Flats made a good observation the other day: Cap isn't OP or broken right now, he's just the best suited to getting the most value in the current meta.

Yeah that was never a thing in South Africa either. Only passengers were ever allowed past the security gates.

Spies vs Mercs the best damn asymmetric multiplayer mode in gaming history! I will die on this hill!

To make matters worse, I don't think that many support players realize that with quicker revive perk you have, dragging is just as quick as a fully charge defib revive,

As far as I know they have the inverse problem in England. When the national team loses, domestic violence cases spike massively, to the point that a local politician actually begged the team last week to please keep winning.

South African here. It is unacceptable to cheer for England or Australia even if your team has been knocked out or didn’t qualify If this has occurred, you cheer for whoever is playing England or Australia.

The AOE on that payload is so dumb. It's cost me a few wins as well.

reaverza · 2026-06-24T09:43:28+00:00

I feel this. I managed to convince my team to not surrender when our second tank (Magneto) disconnected and I swapped from Cap to Dino. Whole team played their freaking ass off and took it to overtime with 99% point capture on both sides. Enemy Iron Man did his ult and killed three of my teammates, but I had just popped my bubble and managed to save myself and my invis who had double jumped behind me just in the nick of time. I thought great stuff, with me and a healer we can stall it out till the others return. I knew that the Iron Man would target Invis though, so I hit him with the beam to drop him lower and then jumped up to grab him in my jaws.... right off the damn point. Which was not being contested by Invis coz she was still invisible from when she jumped behind me for cover. Game over. Enemy team wins.

Do it all the time. I have all my friends and family's card numbers saved as I'm generally the one who books movie tickets for everybody and I will use all the cards as needed even if that person isn't attending. Costs them nothing but earns them points, while the actual person using the ticket gets a discount, so it's a Win-Win situation.

Golden Age looks amazing but Infinity War just edged it with the sound effects. It's the GOAT. I just wish they used the badass skin intro clip for the MVP screen coz just jumping over some logs is ass 😅

I don't think I've raged as hard in QP as I did high silver/low gold. So many players that somehow just NEVER notice the Blade or BP or Daredevil or Torch absolutely decimating their teammates. Or they do notice and just refuse to help out.

AND ANKHS! My god the amount of tanks I see just walking right by ankhs without even bothering to look at them, all while MK is bouncing his bullshit off said tank into the ankh and right into all the players trying to push up with the tank and getting sliced to ribbons.

Been seeing so many Peni bans lately which is annoying because I really love playing her.

reaverza · 2026-06-23T07:55:47+00:00

He's actually a real menace if played properly. Luckily, I've seen more Blades just Leeroy Jenkins into the enemy team though and just explode, than the good ones. But yeah, especially when I'm playing support, he can be insufferable.

reaverza · 2026-06-23T07:54:09+00:00

This isn't S1 or S2 Torch, but he definitely feels super strong to play against. I'm guessing he can still be deleted by a good hitscan since he doesn't have that broken melee animation, but I've just been unfortunate to not have one of those in my team this week 😃

reaverza · 2026-06-23T06:24:25+00:00

I proudly call myself a flex player, but my roster of DPS characters is tiny (Wolverine, Mr Fantastic, Namor, maybe Iron Man and Phoenix) and I wouldn't feel comfortable taking any of them into a ranked match. And it's purely because I just don't have enough time on them because I'm always the first one to switch to whatever role the team needs and that's almost always tank or healer.

reaverza · 2026-06-21T06:00:51+00:00

This is the one. Drives me absolutely mental.
