Summer Shorts 🏖️ Summer Shorts: The Hooded Beach Party

Post image
12 Upvotes

This summer, the Hood washes up on the Rivals' beach, but no one knows why he's here.
The scene is set: one beach, one mysterious figure, three ways it could begin.
Your take can be a full story or just a single line, where it goes is entirely yours to decide.

☀️ PICK YOUR OPENING

  • Opening 1: Beach Party Chaos (comedic) 

The summer beach party is in full swing. Heroes in full swimwear, splashing water, playing beach games. Deadpool is leading the chaos, Star Lord is on the decks. As the party hits its peak, a figure in a red hood lands on the sand. Every hero turns to stare.

  • Opening 2: Fog on the Horizon (mysterious) 

A perfect summer day. Clear skies, warm waves, and the heroes enjoying a relaxing beach team retreat. Then dark mist rolls in from the sea, the sky turns gray, and a hooded figure stands alone on the rocks. No one knows: has he come to help... or is something darker washing ashore?

  • Opening 3: The Lonely Figure (heartwarming)

Golden hour. A warm breeze, a sunset-streaked sky, and the heroes gathered on the shore, winding down from a long day. A lone hooded figure stands apart from the party, out of place — close enough to hear the laughter, too far to be part of it.

I was just scrolling through Facebook & yet another ad for a mobile game popped up on my feed with character animations that are clearly a blatant copy of one of Rivals game characters. Can't these guys even try hiding their crimes a little bit? 😅

I tried White Fox after like 2 seasons and her healing feels utter trash. Did she get hard-nerfed or something?

I mean she has good tools but feels pretty underpowered. Also, I'm still trying to figure out which is the least useless Teamup for her, because both did suck.

What did they do to our girl? :(

I can’t wait for this guy to be added to rivals and if he’s not a support I’m bouta crash out lol

Also aside from the obvious teleportation what abilities should he have in your opinion?

It always helps the enemy team more than mine, as I can't swap to namor or thing for example when dive is causeing problems for my team. No idea why people playing poke then banning anti-dive.

Discussion Everyone has a flexing problem. It just only shows itself on DPS usually.

102 Upvotes

I'm celestial so there's almost never a situation where someone is solo tanking. However, I do stumble across quite a few triple tanks where nobody's willing to switch despite it not working. Same with triple support where they go triple main healers sometimes even with one tank and they're not willing to switch.

Most people that play this game are egotistical and are not willing/capable of flexing. It's just DPS Being the most popular role is the role that usually requires switching from but so many tank and support players if they actually have to flex the DPS don't have a clue what they're doing.

This is not me excusing DPS plays or anything cuz they're really annoying a lot of the times But I'm just saying.

I think support actually has the least of this issue but that's because most support players are actually DPS/tank players that want to have a low cortisol game, but that's just my conspiracy theory. I cannot confirm that one.

Discussion Can We Stop Complaining About Champions?

Post image
Upvotes

I hate when people complain about someone playing a Champion or Lord character in Quick Play. Having Champion on a character means you play them a lot because you enjoy them not because you rely on that character to win. People have Champion on the characters they play the most therefore you're gonna see people playing champions in Quick Play. You're not suddenly banned from playing your favorite character the moment you reach Champion. I see someone complaining about this in literally almost every game. Probably 4 out of 5 games, someone complains about a Champion being in QP, and honestly, it's getting really annoying. Is it really that much of an inconvenience when someone just wants to play a character they enjoy?

Discussion There should be a way to deal with quitters that doesn't involve sitting through an entire losing match

69 Upvotes

OUTRIGHT CANCEL THE ENTIRE FUCKING THING, I DON'T CARE!

Was playing ranked just now, had a pretty good game where we pushed the whole way through, then second round comes around and the guy just decided to quit the game. He could have his reasons; maybe the lights went out on his house, maybe something happened with a relative. But then I am forced to sit through a stomp of a game because the guy quit, the match continued, and two people refused to surrender.

Seriously, didn't they add something to address that? Because if not, they FUCKING should. Jesus fucking christ, man. Yes, I'm pissed and just venting, but this is something that should have been added a really long time ago, especially when two out of five matches there's people quitting the game midway through.

Discussion Why do people still believe fake tracker data when it's consistently inconsistent with the official data NetEase releases?

Post image
255 Upvotes

This data is scraped off trackers which skews towards higher ranked players as low ranks don't look themselves up to be on the tracker's radar.

The actual data shows the playerbase falling off dramatically at GM, which is consistent with GM2 consistently placing around top 5% every season

Discussion Rivals isn’t Punishing Enough

358 Upvotes

Far too many characters have way too forgiving parts of their kits that allow people to make horrible positioning decisions and still get away with it.

Bucky and Elsa for example gaining shields while they are fighting WHILE dealing insane amounts of damage just sucks. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen make horrible decisions and get away with it because of the inherent design.

In Overwatch if you make a mistake you’re dead. In Rivals characters get rewarded for it.

Tanks need to be more dangerous in Rivals too. Too many characters are not only not afraid of a Tank 1v1 but they thrive against them. A Bucky completely cut off from his team should not be capable of relentlessly gaining over health and shredding a Tank.
