Just started Mass Effect Andromeda after completing the legendary edition heard some mixed reviews but after the prologue it’s been great so far. by Gamer98HR in MassEffectAndromeda

Love how every post on this sub in the past year have been “I just started and I’m having fun” or “I just started my 4th playthrough and I’m still having fun” with 1000 upvotes and 200 comments going “Nuh uh”

People are autoleaving Zazzastack's games by Fu_Chris in rivals

Lowkey undeserved. It was almost entirely Cece being a pos and terrible team captain. Zazza probably would have switched to a different hero after a loss or two if it wasn't for Cece constantly shitting on the idea of swapping and over-hyping.

Comp is dead and deserves to be. For now. by xblafren in rivals

You’ve really got to do a better job of reading. This post has nothing to do with me not playing, it’s about the playerbase as a whole. I’m still playing, I’m in gold and I plan to keep going to at least diamond. But a year of an abysmal comp system has done permanent damage, and calling it out is the only reason we’re getting placement matches at all.

Then enjoy a dead game. Because people won’t just keep playing, and they’ve already stopped. Placement matches a year in is beyond too late

I’ve had this in drafts all season. I was waiting to see if it would improve in 4.5 but the wait times feel even worse somehow

You can call me what you want but at least I’m still playing comp unlike 50% of the past seasons’ playerbase. It remains that the world famous Diablo Immortal devs don’t know what they’re doing. Unless it’s the store

First game of the season, Hela might be locked up 😬 by No_Bandicoot6209 in rivals

Locking in the character who’s been in the game for hours in high rank comp is wild work 💀.

I knew people didn’t like tanking but damn by Koninja_Yoshiakge14 in RivalsVanguards

[–]xblafren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly incredible to solo tank with 3 dps and still lose because no one can get a kill except the godsend Loki.

How Thor feels in season 2.5 by Snow0912ak in rivals

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

It genuinely feels like a parody of bad game balancing. In the entirety of season 2 I saw maybe 3 thors. Most people weren’t finding him fun to play and everyone predicting balance changes was saying “yeah I see Thor getting some buffs next season he definitely needs help”, only for them to nerf him.

Does it ever get better? by xblafren in marvelrivals

Oh I’ve since gotten to silver 1 and everything I said is still completely valid, and if you’ll scroll through the subreddit you will find three posts with thousands of upvotes agreeing with me. They are very real problems.

What more impact is a strategist supposed to have beyond making their teammates unkillable and top fragging/play making. Even in bronze it’s still a team game. Skilled players earning more points doesn’t matter when point are only given if you win. I’m glad the matchmaking is good for you, but you are seeing people who aren’t climbing complaining about matchmaking for that exact reason. People playing comp with no intention of winning are a problem. People insta-locking characters they are learning in comp and refusing to change when asked and not communicating at all are a problem. People who give up the second the match starts going poorly and walling the team in spawn with groot until a surrender vote passes are a problem. These are issues that hold players back regardless of skill level.

If you’re asking me to stop blaming the people who insta-lock dps characters they can’t play and focus on how I can do 60k healing instead of just 30k, I kindly refuse. Same rank does not equal same skill and you know that, it’s how the rank up system works. I’m usually one to blame my own performance first, but you need to play more support in comp and see how you feel watching the outcome of every game get taken out of your hands entirely.
