What's Breaking(Killin) the game? ... Dive..
Recently saw everyone on X and on stream talking about balancing .. here are my thoughts
So Before everyone start piling up on me and replying egregiously kindly read...
My point ... Marvel rivals is a Casual centric game where casuals wanna play there favourite character and have fun , win and try hards wanna run everyone over. Now the problem is for them the game has to be balanced but the dive doesn't fit in that.
Which is.... Currently in game we have at least 2 divers that can one shot 250hp under 2 sec then take a 100 hp damage hide re gen it and comeback again... So to solve this the healers are give a billion utilities may it be GG's Luna or cloak multiple escape tool and brain dead damage,sustain now to compensate it in front. poke is pumped with egregious damage (hela ,elsa etc) leading to unkillable tanks like thing etc. The Cycle goes on... With which the new teamup system which was meant to " support solo play but reward teamplay" failed as most teamups (good ones) are op in there base form disregarding teamplay. Add 3 supports or no penalty for not playing 2-2-2 (healing , damage reduction etc).
The devs want everything SOLO PLAY , TEAM PLAY , NO ROLE QUEUE , QUEUE INDEPENDENCE, CASUAL PLAY , COMPETITIVE PLAY , FUN etc which is too much....
HOW TO SOLVE IT ?? ( Season 10 bingo card)
- Make base form just a minor buff or extra ability with niche role and Enhanced the real gamechanger
( Best teamup right now Mag- Emma , base is easily killed than enhanced is op)
- Decrease everything... Sustain , dive burst , poke damage
- not role queue but a team comp penalty for 2-1-3 1-3-2 etc.
- Rework characters rather than number buffing ( wanda , storm , blade , mr f , adam ,bp etc )
- Reduce abilities for characters that are just for not a single reason op ( luna , dd , black cat etc)
CHANGES AROUND THIS WILL BRING THE GAME TO A VERY FAVOURABLE STATE though there are still various issue but they are more niche ( optimization etc) then need.
All views are welcome 🤗🤗...
