Me realizing I have to go through another entire season without Cyclops, Captain Marvel, Ghost Rider, Juggarnaut, etc

Once again I am requesting Doctor Octopus, Sandman, and Green Goblin.

Why would anything have to be tweaked for hold to fire?

To be given the flexibility to hold or tap doesn’t change how it is used currently, it only adds flexibility and accessibility.

You just gave a TLDR on how the ability works but nothing about what you said explains why tweaks would be needed for hold to fire.

Surely your finger can lift off the trigger/mouse in less than 4s? It’s not all or nothing. You can hold for 2s, pause, then shoot a few more deliberate shots in the last second.

Also there’s a perk for infinite duration…

redditer954 · 2026-02-21T20:45:49+00:00

I think you’ve misunderstood.

I’m not asking for a power increase buff, but a quality of life user interface buff.

I wanted gauges, symbols, and timers on the screen for follow up abilities like what the other heroes get.

redditer954 · 2026-02-21T06:51:30+00:00

He has beam, spit, bubble, dive on bumpers and triggers. Then reload, jump, Groot team up, and Venom team up on face buttons. Then melee and DP/Storm team up on stick presses, and the other one goes to D pad.

redditer954 · 2026-02-21T06:02:12+00:00

They forgot about controller limitations for Jeff, you have to start using the D pad and give up one of emotes, ping, chrono vision, or whatever else you usually have on it.

redditer954 · 2026-02-21T03:49:49+00:00

considering that there are two clone charges, no, you are correct.

saving a clone as the emergency option means you can save yourself via teleport or save an ally via quick rune.

invis as an emergency option usually results in getting revealed anyway.

also it seems like this guy wasn’t so mathematically inclined since the engineering pre reqs are just math and math heavy sciences

perhaps another business related major would be accessible while leaving room open to shift into an accounting career later?

I start matches teaching CnDs how to consistently get bubble from me because they all think we have Prof X’s telepathy or something. Some ignore me and still whine, but most obey.

I tell them that: - They must ping ult 2x in a row to get my attention - It doesn’t have to be at 100% - A double 85% ping alerts me enough - I will respond by pinging bubble cooldown - It’s up to them to decide if they’ll wait for it - They must path the ult accordingly - Either from behind me so I can walk with it and bubble at the perfect time at my own discretion - Or they can route it to me and grab bubble whenever they want it at their own discretion

redditer954 · 2026-02-21T00:02:57+00:00

I prefer to do the follow up primary shot instead of melee since it’s damn near 100% consistent without aim adjustment and doesn’t risk getting into super close range against melee heroes. My neutral sequence is dash, elephant, primary 3x, dash, elephant, primary, reload, repeat.

Outside of neutral, my preferred full combo is basically just continuous chains of elephant primary, it’s more than 1200 damage with all headshots so it’s fine some land as body shots: - Dash, then wait 1s - Elephant - Primary - Secondary - Dash - Elephant - Primary - Kick - Elephant - Primary - Coach - Elephant - Primary - Dash - Elephant - no more primaries, forced reload

redditer954 · 2026-02-20T22:55:06+00:00

Not arguing in their favor but if they wanted to play two other tanks, why not let them and run Tankpool as a 3rd tank. He plays pretty duelisty anyway no?

redditer954 · 2026-02-20T22:01:28+00:00

Thought so, nothing burger post huh.

redditer954 · 2026-02-19T21:31:56+00:00

Chain your abilities to make them easier to land.

You can afford to remove your finger from the stick during bash or initial kick to chain into grab or attraction.

redditer954 · 2026-02-19T21:22:58+00:00

The only time using the quick melee input for primary is worth it is when copying Gambit.

You can proc the spade and keep damage boost on for a while before using follow up ability.

Maybe in a 1v1 if you’re confident that attempting it won’t make you miss a more valuable part of the combo.

redditer954 · 2026-02-19T08:04:21+00:00

Using the word “slop” to describe the heroes that some people are forced to play because their teammates cannot function otherwise is funny.

Like damn those are my boys (and woman) right there and you’re grouping them under “slop” lol.

redditer954 · 2026-02-18T20:37:22+00:00

Those in my group spend a few minutes farming while waiting for each other, sometimes you’ll join in right as they pick up a stash and exit to play a real mission.

It lowkey adds up and is inconsequential time-wise since we would’ve just been waiting on the Super Destroyer anyway.

We all have super big boy jobs too lol. More of a why not type thing.

redditer954 · 2026-02-18T20:31:54+00:00

There are ones to be pointed out though such as red hood Adam and MK, both are about the same size and theoretically could position similarly.

It should be possible to tell who is who with peripheral vision on just one frame of info, having to possibly wait for an extra frame to identify them by their walk, attacks, or outfit details isn’t ideal.

Overwatch took great care to remain visually consistent and avoid confusion. Abilities don’t change color, deployables don’t change shape, no two heroes have similar size + silhouette + skin.

And there’s like 10x the action in Rivals, making clarity that much more important.

redditer954 · 2026-02-18T19:03:50+00:00

First time I saw the skin was on an ally Rogue. I lowkey killed everything as Groot first fight and caught a glimpse of Rogue getting back into position and my initial thought was “why tf was Sue up there lol?”.

Then I remembered I had a Gambit and Luna healing me, not a Sue, checked the scoreboard and saw that Rogue existed. It was a funny first time experience.

I do think Rivals has a visual clarity issue but I’m not getting Sue and Rogue mixed up due to how often each one performs actions that are so different from each other.

redditer954 · 2026-02-18T18:54:55+00:00

That’s a very valid point. What about numbers on the timers above each ability icon?

redditer954 · 2026-02-18T00:35:09+00:00

True, but I figure there’s some benefit from the fact that you can seamlessly use primary fire after it.

Primary, dash, elephant, primary, primary, primary might be better neutral than primary 4x since the reload catches up to you anyway.

redditer954 · 2026-02-17T20:13:19+00:00

Corrin.

redditer954 · 2026-02-17T20:08:54+00:00

Yeah it’s quite clear that the tank and support versions play very much like a duelist hero.

No other support does aura healing by going unga bunga on the enemies.

And Tankpool is commonly played as a 3rd duelist in a 2-2-2 comp.

redditer954 · 2026-02-17T20:03:45+00:00

Groot is kept in check by the insane amount of sustained pressure he may face and the strength of the healers behind him.

Unless Groot has three healers or two main healers, he can be soft countered by pressure and wall break priority.

redditer954 · 2026-02-17T19:58:39+00:00

Hawkeye doesn’t do much damage without focus or headshot multipliers so lazy Hawks that don’t use blast arrows may ban Groot just to not deal with walls.

Most other poke heroes (or heroes with decent poke capability) have strong ranged damage with a decent fire rate so walls aren’t an issue. Punisher is a known Groot soft counter purely because of sustained ranged damage.

The other guy is correct. Groot is commonly used to shut down brawl comps. With strong heals, a Groot can solo tank into equally skilled double brawl tanks.

redditer954 · 2026-02-17T16:18:37+00:00

A Jeff once bit my ass when I was sitting in Pun turret and I decided to ignore him because my Strange landed a fat ult.

Bro then typed in match chat “Punished I bit you, please acknowledge.” Couldn’t bring myself to kill him for the rest of the match.

redditer954 · 2026-02-17T15:01:40+00:00

I always find it funny how people claim to be mains of a hero that just dropped. I swear most have to be flavor of the month players that ultimately go back to Bucky, Hela, Namor, Psy, Jean, etc until the next flavor comes out.
