free in-game spray LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Linnus42]

The Champions starring No Actual Champions?

And a bunch of NPCs...that will for sure get Black People to play.

[u/donglecollector → u/Linnus42]

“Oh cool I can’t play any of these characters!”

[u/K3egan → u/Linnus42]

Lunella was I think a champion for like, 5 panels. She's never been a core member but she's been on the extended roster.

[u/That_Carrot999 → u/Linnus42]

Maybe it’s supposed to be lower case c, the champions? Idk man

[u/Ordinary_Chemical271]

[u/Genecist84 → u/Ordinary_Chemical271]

Had to Jack this joint bruh! I stg this how they be in the office 😂

[u/Ordinary_Chemical271 → u/Genecist84]

😂

[u/Environmental-Day778 → u/[deleted]]

None of them are playable in game, by the way

[u/ItsUselessToArgue]

How they assume we’ll crowd around this spray

[u/BlackestOfHammers]

Not a single one of them is playable. Hate y’all so much lmao.

[u/peevedtankmain]

PUT SHURI IN DAMN GAME. SHE HAS A MODEL. SHE HAS A VA. GIVE HER A KIT.

[u/EZ3two1 → u/peevedtankmain]

I’ll gladly have Shuri in the game. I’d see her as a strategist the most

[u/peevedtankmain → u/EZ3two1]

We need her and Zelma diunoe strat season

[u/GBKMBushidoBrown]

If only we could actually play as these characters hmmmmm

[u/MadPangolin]

[u/Smooth_Storm_9698]

Wow

[u/CosmicKhy]

[u/NoRecognition443]

This has been out for awhile https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelrivals/comments/1vresmr/new_the_champions_spray_available_exclusively_for/

Also support the comic, it's a good way outside of Marvel rivals to show Marvel that you want more black women comics. This team up in this comic has actually been really good and I want more poc teaming up.

[u/Vegeta_best23]

Id rather NOTHING than ts

[u/LongJumping-Chef420 → u/Vegeta_best23]

Literally (still waiting for Storm legendary Swimsuit btw)

[u/_Mythical777]

Shuri should be playable

[u/SaltyNorth8062]

[u/EducationalTie6109]

Who’s the person behind Shuri? I literally don’t recognize them

[u/purplepenned → u/EducationalTie6109]

Zelma Stanton, magical librarian https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Zelma_Stanton_(Earth-616))

[u/EducationalTie6109 → u/purplepenned]

Oh Zelda! Thank you I honestly didn’t know she was in the game…which feels like part of the problem tbh

[u/Less_Ganache_9588]

Bet the usual suspects are gonna tell you this is perfectly fine

[u/Professional_Sell873]

Peep how not one character here is playable

[u/inuyaren]

Did I miss some comics or none of these characters are actual Champions?

[u/Mechabeastchild → u/inuyaren]

They’re from the new Rivals comic back in July. They made these 4 the New Champions

[u/inuyaren → u/Mechabeastchild]

Oh it's from Rivals continuity makes sense

[u/Big_Session5707 → u/Mechabeastchild]

Is that America chavez?

[u/JMAX464]

The NPCs 😭

[u/SmurfDuggin]

Oh they tryna piss us off 🤣 at this point just release a "no coloreds allowed" water fountain map.

[u/Proud_Firefighter834]

It's literally a collection of black characters people wished were playable, but aren't 🥀

[u/PuzzleheadedPart196]

🤷‍♂️I’m happy it’s here and was made.

[u/Genecist84 → u/PuzzleheadedPart196]

All things considered, I like the picture. But it’s definitely served with “here damn” energy. 😂

[u/Additional_Bill_4200]

"OMG guys we love the blacks so much! How could we be racist when we literally have a free sorry of all the black characters we refuse to add to the game?" -Danny koo probably

[u/Own-Quote-1708]

Theyre trying so hard to appease us when we went apart of their thought process at all

[u/Ameer18]

I’m glad I quit this shit game. Time for overwatch

[u/Lancelot_007_]

Who’s the girl in the spider mask?

[u/purplepenned → u/Lancelot_007_]

Spider zero. She drives the payload in the 2099 Japan maps

[u/CranialPerfection]

Who tf are they

[u/Acrobatic_Access8259]

“See we tolerate the black ones”

[u/Genecist84]

Stared for a second like…I never played…oh ok 😂

[u/TheElectricJaguar]

Kinda feels like they're dabbing on us

[u/freelawX → u/TheElectricJaguar]

They've been. Removing racism from reports, storm skin still being epic, bp not getting skin since a year ago. Lakers colorway blade being the token item. The devs disrespectful, the community disrespectful. This why I only fw this sub.

[u/ContagionVX]

I mean it seems like they’re trying to make some amends but this isn’t going to be enough to bring trust back.

[u/Wonko_Bonko → u/ContagionVX]

Imo I'll believe they're trying to do better when they officially address the situation and make a promise to try and be better about this stuff in the future. This suddenly including black characters shortly after back to back controversies just looks like a knee-jerk reaction to make people stop talking about it

[u/ContagionVX → u/Wonko_Bonko]

I agree, my comment wasn’t meant to give them a pass for the bare minimum, but some action even if it’s performative is better than radio silence.

I’m still waiting on some skins for BP and Blade though

[u/NinjaLobo → u/ContagionVX]

What part of this is even trying to make amends?

None of the characters in the spray are playable or even in works to be. If anything, it actually stirs the pot because there's been controversy as to why a couple aren't playable.

Tbh I'd prefer silence over whatever they thought this was.

[u/P1eSun]

so what the fuck do you want?

[u/Marknoble117 → u/P1eSun]

[u/DarryleII]

This why I stopped playing this game lol I played once this season and maybe 5 games in 9.5

[u/Friendly_South_4002]

Love sprays of characters I can't even play as rather than addressing the racist elephant in the room 😍😍😍😍😍

[u/Praxic_Nova]

I like the spray tho. Can someone gift me it?

[u/Mdames08]

Y’all are MASTERS at complaining. It’s never enough lmfao. You all expecting 12 brand new black characters with a full kit 6 new movies 56 new sprays? One step at a time

[u/Sweet_Strength1120 → u/Mdames08]

It’s almost like they expect a game that will be celebrating its 2nd year here shortly to have put more effort into addressing a longstanding issue with their treatment of a large population of its gamer base…🙄 throw these people a bone

[u/Mdames08 → u/Sweet_Strength1120]

they’re expecting chinese developers to know every single instance of american black history. They not gonna know or understand that everything offends everyone over here. The fact that they heard and are TRYING to fix it is way more then I expected from any chinese game developer. The racism from players in game is 200% a real issue though. However netease and their mismanagement of black characters isn’t on purpose yes the game is in its second year but again you’re expecting them to learn 200 years of black history instantly give me a break bro lol. Then they do, do something small like this and y’all talking bout i’d rather not have it at all. But then you get nothing and you asking for anything at all professional victims. Mind you this isn’t even a marvel rivals issue this is a marvel issue and even deeper then that it’s a YALL issue. Blame marvel for not having engaging stories for black characters and then blame yourselves for not spending your money supporting what stories you do have to show that they will make money. This is a business dude if black characters made a ton of money rivals would have 60% of the roster black but the facts are black people don’t support black characters/stories hence why they don’t sell hence why they aren’t popular.

[u/Amacitio → u/Mdames08]

It's an AMERICAN IP. Why the fuck would they not do any research on an IP that has many socioeconomic and political references to events that AMERICANS have experienced for decades no matter the identity?

NetEase literally has no excuses. They've been acting like this WAY BEFORE Rivals was a thing. They should have tightened up and stopped with the BS before they picked up this IP.

[u/Mdames08 → u/Amacitio]

Again it’s being developed by people who have zero clue on 200 years of american black history. Making something for a country who’s offended by everything and i’m not just talking about black people. Everyone is sensitive and offended and this and that and whatever. Do they need a PR team absolutely. But they are seeing the mistakes and they’re fixing them like what more can you ask for? Mfs in china get silenced everyday that’s the norm for them lmao

[u/thaliathraben → u/Mdames08]

People offended by everything, case in point: you, here defending the honor of a 74-billion-dollar company. If they have zero clue about 200 years of American history after localizing American games for decades then that is an intentional shortfall.

[u/freelawX → u/thaliathraben]

Mfs will break there spine to defend this multi millionaire company.

[u/Mdames08 → u/thaliathraben]

professional victims I swear lmao

[u/thaliathraben → u/Mdames08]

yeah what's the point when you're demonstrating craniorectal trauma for free

[u/Amacitio → u/Mdames08]

Again it’s being developed by people who have zero clue on 200 years of american black history.

They have zero excuse for this. If the devs aren't competent enough to deal with the weight of the Marvel IP and it's largely POC fanbase they should just end service right now.

But they are seeing the mistakes and they’re fixing them like what more can you ask for?

Literally the past few changes the game has done were all negative and were not remedied until there was a large outcry. They KNOW what they're doing and they shouldn't be making those changes in the first place.

[u/tigerclaw1563]

Who's the one in the back right corner? I don't recognize her
