I’M JUST REALLY EXCITED I FINALLY MADE IT TO DIAMOND !! IT TOOK ME A LOT OF TIME BECAUSE I CAN ONLY PLAY ON THE WEEKENDS BUT I MADE IT. I STARTED OFF IN BRONZE WITH JEFF AND THEN I SAID I NEED TO TAKE CONTROL SO I HOPPED ON ROGUE AND I’LL NEVER LET GO OF THAT FEELING I GOT MVP, I GOT THE SLUMBER SUGAH SKIN, and I got the blessing of being part of a beautiful community.
LOVE YALL! 💚💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛
I want to play ranked with my friend this weekend, but I’m not sure who’s worth banning when I play rogue I usually ban the thing and Spider-Man and Black Panther but devil dinosaur is pretty good anti-dive so which poke heroes are the most dominant in your opinion? Bucky is a must ban in my opinion.
I have died so many times to this potential bug from the team up where if I immediately cast my shield and attempt to go invisible, it doesn’t allow me to go invisible for some reason when you have the team up on because maybe the animation is longer cause she has to say flame, shield, or flame on, but with the base shield that doesn’t happen. Has anyone been experiencing this issue of just straight up not going invisible.
Can we please talk about the absolute state of playing Strategist right now, because I am genuinely on the verge of losing it. I’ve put hours into flexing across almost the entire roster—Peni, Emma, Rogue, White Fox, Sue Storm, Rocket, Jeff, Black Cat—and the sheer mental exhaustion of trying to keep ungrateful teams alive while being treated like a glorified scratching post for five people is breaking me.
First off, tanking in this game is a structural nightmare. I played Peni and Emma Frost, and it is so stressful it's unreal. The only Vanguards I can even tolerate are the ones with dynamic kits. Because of that stress, I shifted to playing support/tank flex, relying on characters like Jeff and Rogue just to keep my sanity intact.
When devil dinasour dropped I picked up invis and played her into everything. I loved the excitement of her kit, running away, and turning invisible to counter oppressive crap like Devil Dinosaur. But then the nerfs happened, dive became dominant, and I woke up to reality.
The absolute entitlement of dive players makes me sick. Their entire philosophy is that Strategists should be free, effortless food if their team doesn't perfectly peel for them. They don't view us as assets deserving standalone survivability; they just see us as a stepping stone to their "Ace" montage videos. They genuinely think that if they press their movement keys and jump into the backline, they deserve an automatic kill without any mechanical resistance. It’s toxic, it ignores team coordination, and it makes a miserable role even more miserable.
And the balance double standards? Absolutely wild.
Look at Captain America. Everyone defends him saying he’s "balanced," but in Quick Match where coordination doesn't exist, he is an unkillable raid boss. Duelist mains cried until Invisible Woman's tiny self-shield got gutted, but Cap is running around with close to 1,000+ effective HP when you combine his base health, his blocking/reflecting shield, and his ultimate health gain/regen. If the devs used the philosophy that "uncontested point stalling is toxic" to heavily nerf Jeff’s burrow meter and healing bubbles, the exact same rules should apply to Cap. He’s pure torture in lower ranks.
The same thing goes for White Fox. Anti-dive utility must exist, but her lifesteal is completely distorting. She shouldn't be confidently 1v5ing, hunting kills, and aggressively bullying Vanguards with what is supposed to be a survival tool.
Meanwhile, they are out here trying to touch Rocket Raccoon? If I see Rocket in the upcoming balance patches, I’m genuinely out. His dashes are already terrible, and dive mains just want him to be a helpless snack. They complain about his minigun, but completely forget that supports have to deal with high-health, high-sustain monsters like Hulk, Venom, and The Thing dropping directly on our heads. We need high-damage offensive tools to force a retreat and have a standalone presence.
The worst feeling in the world is watching a teammate die right in front of you because you’re locked in a reload animation. You have to play with perfect precision, perfect positioning, and tight cooldown management under extreme stress, only for everyone to downplay your skill and achievements.
Some of us really do just love this role. It is embedded in us to want to help, heal, and contribute to the team. But the vocal dive player base won't stop begging for nerfs until supports are completely defenseless. I'm taking my years of Quick Play trench warfare into Ranked for the first time this weekend, but honestly, developers need to completely start ignoring these toxic, un-swapping dive creators who make the game completely unfun for everyone else.
Y’all have probably heard it before but this is legit keeping me up at night
This image captures two brave strategists perfectly in sync, taking on the back line bully daredevil and obliterating him.
I’ve counted at least three times I died in my four hour gaming session as Peni Parker. It makes no SENSE 😩. WHY can Spider-Man pull enemies through people to kill them and Bucky grapple works flawlessly. like where are they getting the feedback? Are they just pulling it out of their assholes because yes the extra web is such a nice feature. The increase in speed for her primary fire is a really nice update. Oh my God I just can’t. It’s so unbearable the ESU skin is the only thing making her playable for me right now.
