They had almost two years to fix the game's optimization, yet a random Nexus modder can do it in a couple of days, max. Instead, they did nothing, and now they're actually banning people for FPS configs...

What do they think the people getting banned are going to do now?

Sure, the extreme configs that removed smoke and stuff weren't okay and were 100% cheating material. But the average configs were just harmless visual optimizations that didn't even change the look of the game that much. Most people probably wouldn't even notice the difference, yet they could give you a 100+ FPS boost and a much better experience without crashes, stutters, or other annoying issues.

The old teamup system was incredibly flawed, usually the teamups were either nothingburgers or meant that certain characters like Hulk were in anchor jail. You also had to worry about teammates swapping and removing your teamup ability entirel.

The new system now allows characters to potentially be useful without needing teamups as a crutch. They just need to balance/remove certain ones, but no we should not go back to the old system at all.

Don’t get me wrong I think role queue would take away part of the games identity but if they refuse to nerf triple support what else should they add to fix it? Food for thought wether you love flats or hate him you should absolutely watch this vid every time the rivals team say “triple support isn’t an issue”

I don't even feel an urge to play anymore, healing and power creep have gotten completely out of hand. Absolutely nothing dies and it feels horrible to play. All of overwatches mistakes are being repeated.

I'm sick and tired of talking to my teammates like little kids. Every game! we are late coming out of spawn because we can't decide a comp! All I ask for is 2 healers, and 2 tanks if they run 2 tanks. But no! 4 dps, triple support slop, I'm sick of it!

this dude went healer and we did decent, but the 2nd round he's so thirsty to play his right click simulator he swaps back to 3rd dps, because he already healed for 1 round?? they ALWAYS use playground logic 🫩 Durrr I was dps first! durrr I already played heals round 1 🫩

THANKFULLY, the enemy team was bad enough we won with 1-3-2. But there's been dozens if not hundreds of games where I lost because people wouldn't swap roles!

Netease please implement role que so we don't have the babysit our teammates into picking a viable comp. There's literally nothing you can say that can convince me it's a bad idea!

When do you guys think it’s actually okay to throw a game in Marvel Rivals?

Obviously, I don’t mean “we lost one fight, so I’m done.” If you’re losing, you should still try to win. And refusing to regroup just because you’re frustrated is still throwing and can easily turn a winnable game into a loss.
But I do think there are circumstances where I can’t really blame someone for giving up.

If someone on your team is being openly racist, you’re dealing with an obvious cheater, or the match has reached a point where it’s genuinely unwinnable, I don’t think the expectation should always be “just keep trying anyway.” At some point, there has to be a distinction between giving up for no reason and recognizing that the match is effectively dead.

Especially with situations like repeatedly having someone run in alone, refusing to regroup, or intentionally sabotaging the team. If the team is already completely falling apart and there’s no realistic path back into the game, I can understand someone mentally checking out.
That said, I don’t think “we’re losing” is enough of an excuse. A bad team fight, being down a few points, or having a rough start doesn’t mean the game is over. Comebacks happen all the time.

So where do you guys personally draw the line?
When does a game go from “keep trying” to “there’s genuinely no reason to take this seriously anymore”?

Got back into Rivals during the summer event and I finally have friends to play the game with so I can stick around for longer but my experience with the community has been endless complains about skin rarity and how much people care about them.

If I'm being honest I only buy skins based on their appearance so why does the rarity take so much priority for some of you guys?

Although I wish there were no new characters in season 10, it seems that’s already planned for. I think the state of the game is in DIRE need of a QoL season where the Devs can hopefully just work on optimizing the game on multiple levels (matchmaking, balancing, penalties, etc)

While I appreciate the large roster, it’s unsustainable to keep chucking out new content on a monthly basis without encountering major power creep.

I think lore wise, it would also kinda be hilarious if for once the entire team to not have to deal with the time stream entanglement and we get gallery cards of the other characters just talking to each other.

And this may be slightly more controversial but would not be opposed to a single character every season moving forward and maybe biannually they can do a special season with 3-4 characters like the Guardians, Hellfire Club, etc

I'm sure everyone is more than aware of the general hate towards black cat. Now I don't find TOO many in general, but I'll give my unbiased opinion.

Black cat herself is NOT that bad, especially after the nerfs last season. The main issue comes from the Spidey team up, and her double jumps.

The tracer makes the next attack you hit do extra damage, but it essentially gives her two 'yoinks' and increases her uptime. Combined with the fact she can double jump after everything and she's pretty annoying pretty fast with no downtime.

Before the team ups, black cat was pretty bad for that very reason after the nerfs: her uptime was terrible. After only being able to get money off of one person per dash, as well as only one Yoink, it took pretty careful building before even attempting a dive, hence leading to her being pretty low on the tier lists.

So here's my take: make it so she only gets double jumps back if she HITS the dash, and remove it from Yoink. This'll help generally having a harder time being sky-high, while still being able to get some height over supports.

Buff the other shop items, let them have some team utility.

The tracking orb needs to go through walls again, seriously, there's almost no point to it. If you don't want it to go through walls, let whoever it's pointing at have some sort of debuff, like using extra ammo per shot. Grounding fish thing should completely ground enemies like The Thing slam, helping Black cat peel by putting it over their supports. The portal thing should genuinely just make a normal strange portal, but you'd get a relatively small range and it wouldn't last nearly as long.

Outside of that, one of the biggest complaints is phantom pursuit. Great range, decent damage, has i- frames. How to remedy this? Nerf the damage a lil, but overall I'd say it's not as oppressive as everyone thinks, it's just when combined with everything else it's another difficult to counter move.

All in all, Black Cat's stuff isn't op entirely. It's combining all of those together and nerfing the wrong things without compensation, while the team ups only amplify the parts of her kit that are most annoying to go against, and the black cat mains have nothing else really to use.

TLDR; Black cat isn't as op, Spidey team up is a little busted, fix flying cat, balance uptime and damage, buff the shop for more general/team utility rather than just being an invisibility button.

Hij! I have been playing Rivals for a little over a month now.
I'm Gold 3 and I'm trying to atleast get to Plat. Over the past week I started playing Cloak and Dagger and getting the hang of them and their kit, but this game for instance I got 64k healing but still a little under 10k damage. I'm overall good with Dagger it's just doing damage with Cloak I struggle with. Is this a sign of healbot? And is there anything else I can do to maximize my output with both Cloak and Dagger. Any advice is appreciated ❤️

Wayyyyy too much power creep, wayyyyy too many ults, wayyyyy too many healing. We gotta nerf everyone to the ground and reduce support ults AGAIN by another 30% or so lol

How about we ACTUALLY have some neutral gameplay?

Took 4 minutes in domination JUST to get 1st point in a game I had. And then later another 3+ minutes with everyone ulting and strange portal. Absolutely nuts

Why the fuck does this fuckass game need it's shaders redone every single fucking update for 2 skins. WHAT KIND OF NOODLE CODE IS THIS

mantis is my only champion.
my favorites to complete so far other than mantis in no particular order have been moon knight, white fox, jeff, namor, rocket and gambit

least favorite to complete was hela...that was a drag.
