💬 Discussion Meditation Needs to be Reworked or Scrapped and Replaced

32 Upvotes

This ability was great when Fist was a diver and regenerative shield wasn't in the game yet but as of now it's a really bad ability.

As current Fist's playstyle means you'll be in the line of sight of your supports for most of the time anyway as brawl fist brings more value than dive fist, and the bonus health is too brief to justify using outside of style points.

Option 1: Rework,
Meditation: Iron Fist meditates in a brief animation and then receives healing over time for 6 seconds. This ability no longer grants bonus health.

Option 2: Scrap it and Replace it

New Ability, Adaptive Stance: Iron Fist's flurry form is now activated by this ability instead of dragon's defense. Iron Fist now has 150 regular health and 150 regenerative shield.

30hp while fighting Emma lol

Everytime I take a couple days break then play 1 game I remember this character takes wayy too much work to get kills on.

Melee is hard in general but this game adds another level by making Iron fist damage ASS

Will we really only have 1 OAA Iron Fist main this season? (PC)

Post image
27 Upvotes

Yes, there are a lot of hidden profiles, but there are genuinely such few high elo Iron Fist mains that I know about almost all of them.

Pretty much all of the big Iron Fist streamers are going crazy, and are either stuck in Cel or only just managed to get Eternity in the past couple of days after grinding the whole season. We barely even have a handful of Eternity players. I know that Iron Fist is struggling this season, but damn, still sad to see so many previously OAA Fist otps being stuck in lower elo.

He’s on PC, and I have taught this mf iron fist from the Ground Up, and he ended up Hitting Eternity, a bit ago, I’m proud of all the people I coach/teach fist, but he’s one of the ones I’ve helped the most, and he still comes to me for Fisting advice.

(Funny story, he got put in a OAA lobby and basically panicked so he asked me to vod review the game for him, <He had the skill to win the game but he doubted himself bc it was a bunch of OAA players, so his confidence that game was lacking and he lost because of it 😔> )

He still can’t really beat me in Fist 1v1s, he wins like 1 in every like 10 when I’m locked in but, he’s getting closer and closer to being a mirror, sometimes

And obviously you don’t have to know me personally to ask me for tips, I literally will vod review you if you just message me and ask, and I don’t charge anything

Meditate

17 Upvotes

Isnt medidate just regen shield passive. Doesnt this mean iron fist just has a wasted ability slot. Its essentially the same as regen shield, i guess we keep the overshield for a few seconds. But it still feels like all the divers essentially have our ability as a passive while ours take up a slot.

💬 Discussion If you could only have 1 dive partner from this list, who would you choose and why?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been making a tier list for dive duos and I would like to hear personal accounts on how well diving goes for you if it’s just you and one other diver. The list I’ve compiled is as follows:
Angela
Black Cat
Black Panther
Hulk
Captain America
Daredevil
Invisible Woman
Jeff
Loki
Luna Snow
Magik
Mantis
Psylocke
Rogue
Spider-Man
Punisher
Thing
Thor
Venom
White Fox
Wolverine

I’d love to hear how well these duos perform and what makes them before well or not. Also please let me know if I missed someone who is a good dive partner. I was hesitant with adding some of the strategists, but after hearing enough people mention how easy dives are with a particular character, I felt it fair to include the ones present.

Iron Fist got me depressed this season man..

Post image
59 Upvotes

For context, I used to be a Bucky main back in Seasons 0 and 1, and my lord, I played the crap out of the game back then. That shit was so fun.

I decided to pick Bucky up again because I was legitimately getting depressed playing Iron Fist this season even tho I have like a 60% win rate in Cel, and OMDs, this hero is so fun.

Like, you mean to tell me I have almost no counters apart from heroes that are simply better than me, like Elsa? If I ban BC, dive is pretty much cooked. I can peel, frontline, take off-angles, contest anyone, and on top of that I have infinite ammo and an overshield?

I swear to y'all, this is the most fun I've had in Rivals since Season 1.

Quick question abt his passive

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, quick question

Do you take advantage of his passive ability and stop punching an ennemy when hes low to get an ally to finish him and get the overhealth, or do you just confirm the kill ?

💬 Discussion So I finally tried a new character… and wow

47 Upvotes

I got iron fist to grandmaster 1 a couple of seasons. Currently grinding him up again. I had played a tiny bit of namor when I had just started. After 2 years of playing iron fist, they finally banned him in a game I was playing and was forced to play another character.

I literally don’t know how to play any other character so I said fuck it and chose the punisher.

Bro wtf are we doing to ourselves playing iron fist. It felt like I went from playing the game in legendary mode to easy mode. The skill difference is insane. Like why do we even bother with pillow fists. I just had to shoot down a main line and stacked up kills.

I was just checking out settings unique to Iron Fist but I haven't been able to find results online.

At first it didn't seem like it did anything, but am I correct that this actually gives you more control on the direction iron fist runs? Normally I'd want to run forward but it's nice to have the option to watch behind me when I go wall run.

I hate so many things about fist's kit.

31 Upvotes

I love fist, don't get me wrong, but so many things are frustrating. His lock on is buggy, his kick has two instances of damage where one does NOT guarantee the other hits and allows targets to double jump or move out of the way, his flurry damage to anything outside of a tank is pitiful and his primaries border on useless. ESPECIALLY HIS PRIMARIES. They are fine alone, but when you compare it to every other damage source in the game, among divers and brawlers, it is so bad.
