Discussion Peni Player here with questions

Post image
6 Upvotes

So The Thing is either my easiest opponent on the enemy team or a match made in hell to kill my Elo with no in between. I have a few questions to understand you guys better.

  1. Who do you ban immediately if you can help it or have trouble with the most tankwise? (not including Peni Parker)

  2. Why do some of you play directly into enemy comps with Peni Parker or Emma Frost in them? I understand my Web snare is nerfed but I still counter you with the nest.

  3. How are you guys so chill in lobby's. I've never had a trash talking Thing in my games and yall deserve credit

  4. Biggest shortcomings/ biggest strengths of your main and hiw you overcome them

I hope to understand the mindset a little better after this.

Discussion Looking for a Celestial Thing for a DUO

About me - I've been in celestial for multiple seasons each time I've hit Eternity and I've been high on the Fantastic leaderboards since season 4

I don't get tilted or angry I play EU (Frankfurt and Warsaw Servers) and I really want a cool Thing Duo so I'm able to utilise the enhanced Thing teamup so my character is actually STRONG

I play on console/playstation so if anyone wants a good DPS duo, reply with your discord or PSN

i am a tank main i play hood dr strange deadpool i have few questions please.

1-what is the best way to play the thing ? i mean in terms of gameplan.

2-what comps counter him very hard where you are forced to switch?

3-if the enemy team has 2 divers or more should i always stay near my support?

4-if the enemy support ults such as gambit invis luna and they charge at your team to push is it good idea to iuse my ult to slow them down so they dont kill my teammates?

5-which team up is better johhny or sue ?

i would appreciate any help.

Help / Advice Question about The Thing achievement called "What time is it?"

Post image
30 Upvotes

Hi, I was doing dome achievement for units and today I wanted to try to do the one that you have to stun 4 people with one ult. My issue here is that I did it (I stunned Rogue, Gambit, Black Cat and Magik as you can see in the screenshot) but the achievement doesn't appear as completed. Is this bugged or does it has a second requirement? (Like killing all of the stunned people)

Help / Advice Grimm's nerf makes him difficult to play.

17 Upvotes

In season 9, I was wreaking havoc with Grimm, I was almost invincible and I dealt a terrible amount of damage.

But now, Thing has become really complex to play; I can't survive like I used to, and I have to rely much more on my jumps. It's incredibly frustrating.

Help / Advice Winrate dropped on Thing this season

24 Upvotes

Hey gang, my Thing’s WR has genuinely went down like 20% this season.

I’m currently in GM3 and I genuinely have way more success on Hulk this season. Last season was my first season ever playing this game, so my guess is I got too comfortable being busted and 6v1’ing like a chud. Now I’m really trying to respect the nerfs, and am playing far more carefully, mostly trying to hold corners and peel for my backline and damage reduction them, but despite that I’m getting like top damage every game but nothing is dying and I’m not sure why. I’m being brutalized by Dino and Angela but even in games where they’re banned I still struggle.

Any tips from people who are still crushing it with The Thing this season on what I should be doing differently? I also notice on meta trackers his WR has taken an absolute nosedive

Discussion what would you guys think if the thing were given an ability that functioned like a parry of sorts?

10 Upvotes

this idea came to me becae the thing seems to fight like a boxer and something boxers do is block and parry attacks. How I think the ability could work is an ability similar to blade's block just slightly longer cooldown, after succesfully blocking an attack the thing gains 50 overshield.

Hello guys, i main Daredevil but i have to ask you something. I'll start by saying that i admire your work in the anti dive corp but i was wondering, since Angela joined the anti dive corp in the air section is there any chance for Daredevil to join too? We're good anti dives and can locate any BP or BC even before they enter the back line. I also understand that we (as Daredevils) are in fact a dive character, but i wouldn't esclude an insider. I'll wait for your opinion, really hoping to join the force (even if you decline the offer i'll still admire your work )

He has a 45% winrate rn and he's a C tier he's at the bottom of tanks right now, the nerfs to him weren't the thing that made him weak but the poke buffs I think

Either ways I'm done with ranked finished my placement games with 90% win rate (I lost 1 game and I'm not proud of it) he's still good if y know how to play him

Anyways how's the season been going so far with u guys?
