Marvel Rivals |OT| 33 Heroes - Perfectly Balanced, as all things should be.

Most annoying characters imo:

Scarlet Witch- who thought an auto tracking attack with no reload would be a good idea lmfao brainless. And the range on her ult is insane.

Iron Fist - so annoying and hard to hit and one always seems to target my iron man, and can seemingly reach me no matter how high up I am. I get flight sure, but move like molasses, while iron fist can go just as high and twice the speed. SMH

Melee counter ranged, tanks counter melee, flyers counter tanks, Ranged counter flyers. (healer get killed by everyone if left alone)

Ironman should beat Iron Fist actually, just because it takes a short time to kill them. But as Seagull pointed out, when you are Melee and you meet a Venom one-on-one, you are just dead.

Melee is VERY suicidal in playstyle. They need to basically play like an ambush predator, picking off individuals and hit as fast and hard as they can in order to regain health, and then to never be fighting more than one opponent.

Dearl Lord,

Please give me the wisdom to understand someone who looks at a 1 tank, 4 dps team and chooses dps, the courage to stay in the lobby with them, and the strength to overcome their stupidity.

Yours,

Bucky
But but but it doesn’t need a role queue.
 
MR already copied most stuff on OW, it wouldn't be a shock they'll eventually get to a RQ as well.
But if you are not actually grinding currency, why should you care that your random team mates suck? In any case the cast is varied enough that a rigid RQ doesn't make sense. is Cloak and Dagger a real healer? is Loki a real healer? Just because they can heal doesn't make them good healers.
There are direct counters for each of the 4 main types of heroes, but otherwise if you are not playing as a real team then it doesn't help if you get a RQ.

Because gameplay matters and losing in a lopsided manner will always sucks. Dread it. Run from it. RQ arrives all the same.

I've only played for an hour or two, honestly expected a bit more. I thought I read somewhere that skins can sort of be grinded, but turns out it was just one or two from the training/achievements. I'll stick around for a bit to see what they have planned for the game, event rewards and such.

There probably already was one and it died, but be nice if they made another marvel moba with the same love as this one. So it can match blizzards other IP they pissed away called Heroes of the Storm which I still log in every now and then. Just copy everything and give it a marvel skin
 

Jeff: low health. Balanced by no headshot hitbox. Otherwise just a really good healer because he both heals by choice and leave little bubbles of healing for his team. Was massively buffed when the enemy team can no longer destroy the bubble healing boxes. You actually HAD to have good aim to shoot him with a projectile.

Wanda: low health. Main threat is her sneaking behind you invisible then start sucking your health out of your line of sight. Basically an assassin character when you are too busy with the flash noisy explosions. Her ult is scary but if you know where she is you can kill her before it goes off. Once again, you need to pay attention.

Iron Fist: Medium health when fully buffed and only melee. Another assassin character who is meant to sneak up on healers or wounded players and kill them quickly. Tanks do NOT fear him, ranged and flyer heroes just had to hit him before he gets close. iron Fist generally need to wall run on high walls to stay out of sight and swoop like Batman. And get out of the fight when it gets bad.

EDIT:
Just realized that Wanda and Iron Fist require no aiming. Both have auto-tracking attacks that locks onto the target. In the case of iron Fist you can't really run away from him unless you have some disengagement superpower like cloak. But that is the thing with superheroes, everyone got perks.

Marvel Super War was by Netease as well but closed recently this year. That too had somewhat decent, more comic colourful characters too though kinda plain, if that makes sense.

Scarlet Witch is straight up broken. Most braindead and skillabsent character in the game.

Also they need to do something about the jump spamming.

Someone never played Symmetra.

Anyway her ult can seem op but play her and you will see it has a limited range and long windup where you can easily be killed. She's squishy.

And I have no idea what you even mean by 'jump spamming', yes characters can jump?

I've spent 5 hrs with the game now and I really dislike the maps. The game lacks any charm unless you're into Marvel, which I'm not.

Faves are Namor and Loki.

If you complete every single daily and weekly quest every day, you should be able to complete the Season 0 battle pass, but that's a GRIND. It sucks.
 
aka Bunny Hopping. Players constantly jumping around. It's stupid, just like crouch spamming in shooters.
That's only a problem for certain characters who need accuracy. Marvel Rivals is only shooter half of the time, the other half is autoaim attacks or autolock melee.

Played it for 30 minutes and uninstalled. Too much of an Overwatch clone and the movement feels too slow for 3rd person. I have a feeling the hype will die down pretty quickly, but we'll see.

I would tell you you didn't pick the fast heroes. There are 33 of them and not all of them had mobility. But frankly, if the game has legs you will come back anyway.

Just dropped 42 elims as Hela. She kills so fast and with Rocket's ult she goes even crazier lol.

Of course Jeff still gets the MVP. :messenger_angry:

This has happened to me so many times, I have far and away the most kills and yet someone else gets MVP, I would like to know what the criteria is for getting it.


Edit
Also how the fuck did you get 42 kills and your team still lose?! lol

My 3070 still crashes after 1 minute, also caused PC to hard reset itself. Guess I'm not destined to play it on PC. A shame really.

Their teamwork made the dreamwork. :messenger_weary:

Plus me and another guy on the team were the only ones with over 20 hours on the game, the rest were all still testing the waters hehe.

So another day and more challenges completed. I really like that unlike Overwatch you can complete the missions vs AI.

Combine that with how it feels like a nice middle ground between regular and Mayhem and it makes it fun to play. I just really enjoy it as a more casual player.I feel Overwatch forgot us types long ago.
 

Arsic

Loves his juicy stink trail scent
Hawkeye is so satisfying. His ult especially is bad ass when you strike all the after bodies as people go down.
 
Have been messing with a bunch of different heroes. Trying to spread out beyond Iron Man and Luna.
Black panther is super fun especially if you have magik on your team. Resetting the cooldown on the lunge is a fun gameplay loop.
As stupid as scarlet witch is playing her feels like cheating lol, she’s amazing. First time I played her I got MVP hahahahahaa
Thor is quickly becoming my favorite tank when I thought for sure I’d use venom.
Star lord seems like he should be amazing on paper, but in practice he falls a bit flat, but his ultimate is amazing.

The only thing shitty here is your low effort drive by post that adds nothing constructive to the discussion.
Furthermore, the game doesn’t even share the same mechanics as Fortnite. You sound like a clown. 🤡 you either haven’t played the game or came here to post on frustration after getting spanked.

This kind of worthless drive by shit posting makes me miss the old days on GAF where behavior like this would get you the ban hammer.

Stopped having fun with this. It's made for the people who want to play a team-based FPS but not play as a fucking team. 5 DPS or 5 tanks version 5 DPS or 5 tanks isn't fun. It needs an option for a role queue. Probably won't be back unless they add that.

Been playing through OW2 Season 14 the last couple days. Norse-themed Battlepass and skins this season:

i probably should try some healers, cause honestly, the only games where I pop off and contribute is when I'm noticeably getting healed. when i'm not. i just instant die every respawn

im sorry that my opinion hurt u.

i´ve seen gameplay and its the same boring shooting style (and everyone jumping up and down) as fortnite, the only thing thats different are the skins of marvel characters.

same old boring shooter like everyone does these days
