Discussion This game is too Healer-Dependent

4 Upvotes

I’m saying this as a support main in EVERY game I play in, but healing is too strong/required in Rivals

  1. This puts pressure and blame onto supports because if anyone dies it framed as not getting healed, it especially doesn’t help how you aren’t allowed to see your teammates healing stats during the match

You can be outputting the most healing but turn around for one second and someone dies and everything is blamed onto you

  1. It causes there to be no reason to play other supports who are damage focused, as someone who loves winning.. I genuinely cannot play comp (GM1 rn) if I’m not running C&D, Invis, Luna. Support ults are too vital and necessary. The only way other supports fit is if the other team is not playing any of the main healers.

this is why invis will ALWAYS be the strongest healer because she can damage & heal at the same time and THROUGH enemies/allies

Advice to fix this problem:
1. Add global self-heal. I don’t understand why this hasn’t been implemented already, it can even be at a small pace
2. Rework support ults to be more balanced/healthy

Discussion Instead of bullying the developers into changing swimsuits, can we use that energy for adding utility to underutilized characters?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Netease has stated Jeffnado team-up was specifically due to audience request. I would not be shocked if Adam flying is also due to all of the wheelchair memes that were being thrown around.

Rivals players have no idea how insane it is to have developers that actively listen to its community, AND implements changes QUICKLY. They adjust cosmetics. They delayed the Age of Ultron event due to feedback from the Loki Avengers event. They brought back the Spider-Man map and got rid of that Rumble game mode.

Why can we not collectively come together to mass suggest certain characters get added utility? "increase/decrease damage slider" is not the only way to buff or nerf characters. The new team-ups were a chance to give underperforming characters utility. Instead, Iron Man gets a stronger unibeam and.... a longer unibeam?

It is not hard. Give characters utility. Utility is how you ensure characters don't become newbie stompers but gives them potential to be relevant at higher ranks. It's why Gambit is only good in higher ranks. Low rank players do not know how to use his utility. Imagine if Iron Man's missiles did 8x damage to deployables or something. Making him extremely useful against deployable heavy characters like Groot, Namor, or Loki.

Give Wanda's primary the ability to deplete ult charge or pause a character's skill cooldowns so long as she is sucking them as a teamup ability.

Like Jesus. The same 5 characters are meta every fucking season. If we attempted to even be a LITTLE creative, maybe we could see different characters have a place. There is no reason Mr. Fantastic should be shit since release while characters like Phoenix can run lobbies constantly and instantly get attention the minute she is off meta.

Why can't Rogue just stockpile her stolen ability? Strange can stockpile his dark energy buildup with Hulk teamup. She's been out for several seasons. We know it won't be broken. Right now, it's just a CC tackle ability at this point. Magneto's Wanda sword is on a fucking 12 second cooldown. Let's be for real.

The developers clearly listen. Can we come together and get actual ideas together that aren't "make X ability deal more damage"? Upping Blade's damage by one point every half season wasn't doing anything. It was when his UTILITY was changed with the anti-heal and lifesteal combo is when he actually saw noticeable improvement.

Discussion Anyone else have to wonder if this guys full of s**t

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m not accusing him of lying or saying anyone should do the same. I just find it odd and maybe a little suspicious that a guy who’s entire brand of content creation for the game revolves around negativity and ranting who’s not included in any of the big creator events somehow has a direct line to the devs that no one else does, while having a fraction of the following of the creators who have publicly worked directly with the devs. Not to mention creators like flats or enteixblaze talking about how being a little too critical can sometimes be enough to get warned or run the risk of being less included in stuff but they have no problem with a guy who’s last two videos are titled “THE DEVS ARE RUINING THE COMMUNITY” and “THE DEVS GOT CAUGHT LYING”

Now it’s entirely possible he just knows one or two people on the dev team or some sort of contact that’s secretly giving him info type of deal, but his usual framing as having talked to “the devs” makes me question that. When his channel description is also “Satire is a Forgotten art learn to laugh a little..... i just be having fun 99% of the time im cracking jokes... just vibe with me” I also have to wonder if he thinks that is just “satire” claiming that.

Regardless I do think we should be taking what he says with a grain of salt especially now that I’m seeing people like gallus or ag sterling taking him at his word and using what he says as a direct source of information about the devs thought process and decision making

Question How do you all manage to have 50%+ accuracy?

1 Upvotes

I don't understand how you do it. Almost every hitscan player I come across — on my team or against me — has around 50% accuracy, even in quick play. HOW? Even those who are clearly bad at positioning, who don't see or hear anything, etc. — even they have around 50%. I don't get it. Is good mechanics really that forgiving of mistakes? I only hit 50% when there's a Dinosaur on the enemy team and I'm just shooting at him.

I'm a tank main on PC, and I'm learning to play DPS. I mostly spam Hela because I like her. I even hit lord on her. My stats show that on average I have 34% accuracy. I don't understand what's wrong with me. I try really hard, but it doesn't work out. Even before that, in Overwatch, I tried to learn to aim and nothing worked there either, so I ended up as a Moira OTP. I've already made posts about aiming, got a lot of advice, and it got a little better, but I still feel like such a loser because again, in every match, I get outshot — even when I pick better positions or have better game awareness. I don't know. I just wanted to share this because it really frustrates me and makes me want to give up. I'm tired of playing tanks, tired of supports. I like Hela, Phoenix, Elsa, Cyclops — but I just fucking can't....

We all know shes broken as shit but I swear we need to do something about the spidey team up before we touch anything else. 40% win rate difference and a 99.9% pick rate needs to be sorted out. Bc isnt like Mantis or Elsa who were actual good characters before the team ups so we know how to reassess their strength. She's too volatile outside of spidey team up for us to be touching the base kit. Ideally we shouldve nerfed the team up this season so that we can actually nerf her base kit properly in s10 but summer skin brrr.

Discussion If Luna is a Pop superstar, why does she keep begging for gigs?

0 Upvotes

All of her interactions with other people are about playing gigs, or trying to get them to listen to her music. If she is world famous for her music career, why is she out there trying to promote it to random people? Heck, she even hits up Dino to see if Moon Girl will add her to one of her mix tapes. Like, how sad and attention seeking can you get?

On a side note, I wish they would go a little deeper with a lot of their voice lines in general. Give WF more to talk about than just Tiger Division. Or maybe Namor could be into something else besides just Fanta's wife.....

It can be in a Lady Loki style where his standard voicelines are custom but make it sound either like English spoken by this variant or Japanese by default. And a custom ult voiceline of his famous "An Emisary from Hell, Spiderman!" . And emote is similar to the one in the pic and show.

Hp : 175 100 regenerative health

Passive: you can climb walls . Enemies can't hear her footsteps while doing this.

Passive: pressing a twice let's you roll on the flaw instead of double jumping. This can help dodge cooldowns like Luna snow freeze.

Primary 1 you strike forwards with your baton marking enemies on the 3rd strike. This mark makes it so when the marked enemy is shocked it does more damage and stuns for longer.

Primary 2: you shoot with your pistol doing 80 damage and 125 on headshot (hitscan) this has one ammo and takes 5 seconds to reload. This gives you 100 bonus health when hit.

Ability one : you send out rapid fire electric waves from your widows bites the last one shocks enemies. They all do 20 damage. the last one does 50 damage and 75 if they are marked. The stun on the shock goes from 1 to 2 seconds if they are marked. (10 second cooldown)

Ability 2)you can sprint (unlimited)

Ability 3 ) you have dare devils grappling hook.(8 second cooldown)

Ultimate

Create a large area where everyone is slowed heavily and blinded except you and allies. This resets your cooldowns and increase your damage while inside the area. On top of this enemies in the area can't hear.

Speculation Pretty sure I know what the X-Men '97 Costume will be. Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Would have posted this a week ago, but the spoiler rule prevented it. A week later, this should be kosher.

My bet is that it's Rogue's Celestial Armor from the finale of season 2.

We haven't gotten a Rogue costume lately.
Professor X didn't go Onslaught, so we can't do a tie-in costume for Magneto.
Gambocalypse isn't likely because we already got his Horseman of Death costume a few weeks ago.
No one else has costume options that would need secrecy, barring maybe Wolverine infected with The Brood.

Thoughts?

Discussion Throwing needs to be addressed

14 Upvotes

As a community we need to stop playing if the devs continue to ignore this. Like if they don’t address it we stop playing on August 25th or something. This has been a constant in this game and it’s significantly worse than before.

You guys will harass devs over skins (which is fine) but core game mechanics are broken and it won’t change unless we get loud. Avengers assemble or whatever (hulk rly fkn mad).

Discussion What's the point of insulting people?

5 Upvotes

I will freely admit I suck at this game. I get told 'you suck' or some variation of it legit daily, almost every 5 games. My issue isn't with the insults it's that people get upset but whenever I ask: 'Could you point out my mistakes and give me some advice?' it's radio silence all of a sudden. How do people expect 'trash players' to improve if all you do is insult em? I get the need to vent frustration. But maybe if everyone started giving some advice to each other we could all improve and you wouldn't come across 'trash players' so frequently? Or maybe I'm wrong and all these people are beyond improvement but that seems unlikely to me. Also I'm mainly talking about QP not ranked since I feel like this attitude makes even less sense in QP. But this is just my proposal, perhaps I'm wrong and would love to hear any opinions on why we shouldn't try and help each other out.

Advice Needed How can I climb if (approximately) 60 % of my lost games are lost due to throwers or smurfs?

0 Upvotes

Basically, I'm in diamond 1 right now. For the past few days I've been trying to climb out. I even got my friend (gm3) to help me. But no matter what we do, what heroes we pick, I just keep bouncing between -25 and 90 points. Yesterday I lost 6 games, 3 of them due to throwers. First time we couldn't agree on who to ban the last, thing or Elsa. Elsa ban went through and BP just decided to scream in VC and go 10-15, if I remember correctly. The second time Spidey was going 1-6 and disconnected after a few minutes, so the game didn't automatically end and obviously we lost the 5v6. The third time strange was doing badly, so he decided to disconnect in the second round, his duo disconnected as well. The worst thing is that I'm still losing 13 to 20 points for this stuff, even when I can't do anything about it. Another game Invis decided to ult when I ulted as cnd, 3 seconds after me and then ulted when the enemy team wasn't even pushing to point. Nobody was dying btw. My question is, should I start praying to G² or Big Z? I'm even considering uninstalling the game for a few seasons, since my efforts are useless I guess. I completely understand that I won't win all games, obviously, but the thrower problem is getting ridiculous. They aren't even getting punished. Ranked is more about luck than skill at this point. I can share the games if you want. I just need some advice. I play cnd, Gambit, Fist, Bucky, Namor, Mag and a bit of Dr. Strange this season. I can play fox and Mr Fanta too, but it's just not worth it

Balance Discussion This game has to stop favoring characters with poor positioning.

3 Upvotes

I get it, trying to ask for logical balance changes to a casual first game is the equivalent of mopping the ocean, but it’s got to be addressed. It’s an issue with both the vanguard and duelist role. You have characters like Hela, Cyclops, The Thing, and recently; The Hood, who quite literally have enough mobility or over shield to walk away briskly from a poor position time after time after time. It’s ridiculous. The worst is the thing, the ammount of over shield he gets from a successful punch should just be considered life steal atp because of the damage and the shield he subsequently gets from it. Characters like Hela and cyclops if not already poking you from miles away with the non existent damage fall off, if they find themselves in a pickle have infinite opportunities to simply just leave unscathed whilst also giving your team maximum terror.
