I think giving Frost barbed wire would be a decent buff for her without needing to change her kit.

If you place a Welcome Mat in barbed wire, it makes it significantly harder to see, while not camouflaging it completely. This works well with Frost as her traps usually stick out and are very noticeable.

However, she doesn't have wire in her loadout. She has shield and camera. So, I think Frost should get barbed wire as a gadget to make her not such a weak operative.

I doubt it'd be too broken, as if you know they have a Frost, you can just look carefully at barbed wire or break it all together to make it visible.

I'd just like a semi-small buff for her honestly.

Morality of using a real woman's screams as she was being attacked for your horror game?

In 2018, Puppet Combo released terrifying horror survival game, Nun Massacre. In the game, when you are found by the titular nun, a loud siren and chase theme begins to play as she attacks you. But beneath this, is a woman screaming.

The screaming comes from the 911 call of Ruth Price, a elderly woman who was attacked in her home while calling the police to report a suspicious man in the area. As she's on call with the operator, something hits the receiver and you can hear Ruth's screams and pleads for someone to help her breathe as she was attacked from behind. Ruth did survive the assault and lived 14 years afterwards.

But still, these screams are from a woman who was being attacked and the intent was to kill her. So, how moral is it to use a real woman's screams during a attack for your horror game?

I do want to add on, Nun Massacre was released in 2018, when the audio had been posted on the Internet alot. I'm sure a good few of you have heard it. There was a common sentiment the audio was fake despite it not being proven or disproven. It wasn't until a few years after the games release a reddit post gave a lot of evidence in favour of the call being true. So, Puppet Combo may have believed this was just a actor screaming. But still, the context was elderly woman being attacked.

This is no attack on Puppet Combos character or integrity, I adore all their games, I just find this a little odd to do.

Trying to play Black Cat has to be the most miserable experiance I've ever had on this game.

When she first came out and was in her prime, I was taking a break from the game. I came back for her but wasn't that passionate so I left again. I've been playing again for about a month every day, and I decided I'd try learn Black Cat to see if I'll buy her summer skin when it comes out.

It's been 3 long days of Black Cat, and oh my god, it is awful. Being my first dive character, I was naturally bad at her. My first few matches with her I lost, but that's to be expected. I studied guides, learned her combos, and put all of day 1 into learning her.

Day 2, still awful. I know combos and I know what shop items to use and still, it's impossible to kill people. I'll get them stupidly low but I can't kill them. Sometimes I can follow up and get the kill, usually they survive. Pure skill issue yes, but it's so annoying how they're literally 10 HP.

Every time I play her, there's always like a lord spiderman on the enemy team who absolutely destroys me. Any diver I encounter as her spends their game diving me instead of my backline. I fight back and sometimes get the kill but I'll usually die.

I like Black Cat but she is God awful to play now. I understand why she was gutted but she feels impossible to get value out of. Even if I have a 'good game' as her, I'm leagues behind everyone else on my team.

Felicia is a character I've loved for years but unfortunately, I struggle to play her so hard.

CC is genuine misery.

Done about 100 matches in the past 2 weeks. Won ten at the most. Doesn't matter what role I get, it's just vicious loss. Doesn't help that 80 of them are CC.

If I'm CC, one teammate is dead by round one and the other caught and voted out immediately in second round. If your mystery guest, you do all the heavy lifting and get various kills but you lose at the last second. If your detective, you instantly die and get the 'defeat' report five minutes later.

CC is the most miserable I've ever been on this game. Do I need to slave away to grind every achievement to get into lobbies where I have a chance of not being down a CC teammate by round one's end.

And they taunt you with a 'win a game of CC for a memory sphere' every week, something you need genuine luck to obtain. I'd get it within a few matches if I had CC teammates to carry, but I don't, because they all die.

Miserable experiance, no matter what side your on you lose, and no one has more then 5 functioning braincells.

Stop crying about heals when you chose to be the 4th DPS.

So many times will I be put in a team comp of 4 DPS, 1 Vanguard and 1 Strategist, the latter being filled by me. I only play healer in this comp to heal the tank mostly, but I'll still give it my all. But still, the dps will cry about heals every twenty seconds.

Yes, healing is something we need and we are short on one, we both saw that on the hero select screen when you chose to play DPS despite us already having three. I'm trying my best to keep 5 people alive.

They'll have the gall to call everyone else trash and brag about their stats. I didn't know 6 kills and 8 deaths were impressive, congrats, your the tallest dwarf.

It's gotten to a point where I'll just play DPS. I'm not gonna stress and be yelled at by a Cyclops because I didn't heal bot for a second.

I just had to rant, I've had four games like this in a hour, two of which having double dives on the enemy team which just made it more miserable to play because I can't Patty cake or rely on another support.

It just baffles me how some people don't get that I don't wanna be a solo healbot, like how they don't wanna play anything ither then dps regardless of how destructive it is to the team.

There's just something so nice about playing Invis.

Invisible Woman is, without a doubt, one of my favorite characters in the game. Her kit is amazing, her style is unmatched and as a character, Sue is fantastic. (get it?)

When I play her, I feel almost motherly. Her kit is so protective and caring, and it makes me feel warm inside. I'm not a mother yet, but somehow, playing Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals really curates that feeling for me.

Especially with the other Fantastic Four members. There's something nice about how we all interact, at least the ones I've met. The team ups make you feel really helpful to your family.

Marvel Rivals made Sue such a lovable character. Not that she wasn't before, but she's simply so capable and cute in this game. Her outfits are always on fleek and dark I say, she's the most fashionable strategist. And she has really pretty hair.

There's nothing meaningful in this post, I just wanted to talk about how much I love Sue In this game. Have fun and have a lovely day!

I would love a Luna skin with Rollerskates!

I was just thinking Luna would look awesome with Roller Skates and with her animation, I think it would work really well as maybe legendary special effects.

I saw her new skin and thought I'd look so good with skates! Maybe Ice Skates would also be cool for maybe a figure skating skin.

Just wanted to share a idea!

It annoys me how people are saying Hela should have been replaced with Storm opposed to a literal Raccoon in the Egyptian Skin collection.

Whenever I see Helas new skin, discussions are flooded with how the skin should have gone to Storm. And while I agree with it, I'm not sure why Hela is catching a stray.

Hela is the consort of Konshu, their iterally banging, she has lore connections to a Egyptian God. Her getting a skin makes sense here.

Mantis and Rocket don't. Storm should have replaced one of those two as opposed to the one connected to the lore of the season.

I know it's a non issue but it just annoys me kinda

How is Lilliya doing with the coldness of The Resort?

Lilliya's trail environment is set in a snowy resort where you can't stay outside for long before you start freezing, the only way to prevent this is going to a heat source.

So, how is Lilliya herself avoiding freezing? We see in the opening hallucinations that it's cold enough to freeze people solid.

Is her attire just really good at retaining heat? Is she too drugged up to be bothered by it? Or maybe she's like us, just managing her time outdoors.

Just something I've been wondering as I do the resort trails.

Why don't Collab skins come with MVP animations and only one weapon skin, yet cost more?

Looking at old collab skins like Lara Croft and Leon Kennedy, they had a MVP animation and weapon skins for the operators entire arsenal. But more recent collab skins like The Boys and Dead by Daylight don't.

I'd understand if they maybe want to keep MVP animations exclusive to Elite bundles but one weapon skin only feels very lackluster to me, especially if you prefer another weapon on that OP.

It just feels a little odd paying more for less. I was going to buy Nurse Nokk but it's cheaper for her base elite where I'd be getting more. I know the appeal is to play as a character you like, such as Homelander, but that can't be enough to justify the price increase, can it?

I adore the Pig but I feel there's little to no point playing her.

I started playing in late 2018 - early 2019, and one killer captivated me from the moment I saw her. The Pig. I was already a huge Saw fan and Amanda Young was my favourite character, so I picked her up and played her casually up until a few years ago when I started taking killer seriously and played both sides equally instead of survivor with a few killer matches.

I enjoy playing her. Her trap's are fun and her stealth appeals to me. But as the game goes on, she feels so weak and bland compared to most other killers. Her stealth was given to Ghostface, but instead of a dash attack, he gets to stalk and then expose survivors. Amanda just gets a dash which takes forever to start up and gives herself away via the roar.

Her traps are unique. There's not much in the game like it. But they don't feel good. You strap it on and you need a add-on to deny survivors seeing box locations until it's activated. It's more slow-down then a actual threat. It's rare to get a kill with it but it's truly satisfying when you do.

Her add-ons feel fine to me. Most have decent effects, especially ones that give her a extra trap, with a fair fall-off. However, her pink addons are very different to me. Amanda's Letter feels very cool, as it shifts her playstyle some by letting you see aura's while crouched at the expense of two traps lost. I use it with certain builds and it synergises quite well.

Video Tape is her second and it makes all survivors start with a trap on their head. Completely removing her power. It's to make survivors not do gens and get the trap off but usually, the most you'll get is one hook before the other three get their trap off as you can't focus them all at the same time. It feels so week and I struggle to make it work at all. You're basically just a Ghostface without stalk.

Amanda has been treated well as a license killer, she gets great cosmetics and she translated very well into the game. But as a killer, she feels so lackluster and powercrept and as a fan and main of her, it just makes me sad.

This might actually my favourite Widowmaker skin.

Now, I can admit, Widow looks a mess here. Objectively, she is a mess. But for some reason, I love this skin so much. The colours mix together so well, especially the pink. I adore her hair and while I don't inherently understand what her googles are supposed to be, I do think they look beautiful.

I just really like this Widow skin. The first lootbox I opened this season, I got this skin and I was overjoyed. I do know she has better skins, like Principal Lacroix and Kuromi, which I'll use occasionally, but I don't think I'll really take this skin off. So, what do all the rest of you think about her Yuki-Onna skin?

I don't like all the hate towards Black Cat players.

I see a lot of hate towards Black Cat and her playerbase recently and while I understand it, I feel most of it is unfair. I saw a widely upvoted post that was hating on Black Cat mains simply because they hadn't seen her played much in they're games.

Whenever I see the screenshotted posts that are posted here and hated on, it feels like everyone reads it in a way that demonises BC players. We have to understand they just invested quite a lot of time into a character who does require time and practice to be fundamentally good at just for her to be nerfed into the ground.

A saw another post here about BC mains asking if they think she'll receive buffs soon with a little edited image of her with one leg on crutches, and yet again, it's posted here and everyone hates on it. Even with they didn't say she didn't deserve nerfs or that she deserves buffs. Be so for real right now, if your main got nerfed heavily, wouldn't you want a buff?

I admit some of them can be insufferable but I feel they have a right to be annoyed. Black Cat was remained untouched until she sold a skin with chromas and customization and then she's nerfed into the ground and there's no point in playing her. Her players were cheated, be honest.

I think this is part of a bigger problem in Rivals. Playerbase's blamed for the character. The devs made the kit and designs who gets skins but it's easier to hate on the players of the character instead.

I just want a little more leeway for Black Cat players. Most of them aren't that bad and I truly believe most of the people doing it would act the same if they're main was in Black Cat's position.

I lost episodes 3-5.

I wanted to play LIS2 again, so I downloaded it. I'm on PS5 so when you download a game, it lets you download additional content. In this case, the episodes. Oddly enough, it only gave me the option to install episode 2. Episodes 3 to 5 are locked behind a paywall. I thought I'd boot up the game incase it was just a odd glitch and when I did just then, I only have access to episode 1 and two.

However, I used to have all the episodes. When I loaded my game, it says I'm on episode 3, Wastelands. I checked my trophy log and I have trophies from the last 3 episodes and for beating the game. It's just odd. This was in 2023 however.

I know this is a PS support issue, and I will ask those people, but I thought I'd ask here too because I have all the other episodes for all the other LIS games. If you can help, thank you!

Luna Snow would be so much more interesting if she talked about something other then her music, even if it stayed on theme of her career as a Pop Star.

I want to start off by saying I do like Luna Snow and she is who I play the most. However, I can recognize how boring and bland and repetitive 95% of her interactions are. And I think she genuinely could have interesting interactions with so many beloved Marvel characters.

Luna's parents died when she was young so she was raised by her grandmother. She performed at a Stark Industries event which was attacked by A.I.M. She attempted to defend the crowd and was locked inside a freezer and was exposed to the contents of a experiment where she gained her powers. Following this, she was dubbed Luna Snow and became a Pop Star and a Super Hero.

The origin story of Luna's powers is pretty cool to me. A powerless Luna putting her life at risk to defend and protect her fans and show-goers. She was brave and courageous, something some of the other heroes could maybe bring up in game and we could discuss her origin and maybe some trauma she harbours from it. She could also discuss loss of parental figures with those who experienced similar things.

She is a Pop Star and a Super Hero simultaneously. Both very hard things to do and juggling them both is something others could find relatable. Like Iron Man and Spider Man. Both to a much higher extent, but they also had busy personal life's they had to live alongside their heroic side.

And there's tons of interactions she could have not about her. She could discuss music that isn't her own with characters like Star Lord. The X-Men could discuss Iceman with her as they have similar powersets. Or she could reveal her interests with any character. Maybe she really likes sniper rifles and she could talk about that to Widow. Literally anything.

I really like Luna Snow and I just want her to be interesting. She doesn't have to be likable or cool or funny. I just want her to talk about something other then her music. It could nab her some new fans!

The game should end when there's 3 people left alive, no matter what stage of the game you're at.

When your in a trial and only three remain, the game ends and you win. But if your in the middle of a round and it's just you three left, you're forced to kill each other. I think this sucks as it turns a moment where three of you could have survived into a fight to the death to be the two survivors.

I'm saying this because I just had a match where there was a double murder, we solved it as a murder-suicide, and four of us remained. But then this girl left right as we got onto Area 5. It's just us three and the game should end but because we aren't in a trial we're forced to kill each other. But the other two guys were friends so it was a 2v1. I tried finding a weapon but I couldn't, they ganged up on me, so I just left so they'd either leave or kill each other. This his happened to me multiple times, hence why I feel the game should just end whenever there's 3 remaining.

Let me know what you think!

You get to replace one of the Kress twins! Would you rather be Otto or Arora?

This was just a discussion I had with my friend while we were doing the Shopping Mall together. We wondered if we had to be a Kress twin, who and why? For clarification, you will be conjoined and be in the same position as whatever twin you chose. You will not be that twin, you will just be yourself but in their position.

What missions are the best to do in terms of money and ranking up?

I'm a read dead online noob. I have a good 30 hours and I've done nothing except goof around and look good. But now, I'm taking the game seriously and trying to make some cash and rank up. I tried playing the online series thing, where you race with others, but I found that pretty hard as I was consistently placing last. So, I've tried Stranger Missions, mostly from The Boy, but I was just wondering if someone could tell me what missions are the best to do, like Jailbreak or Horse Theft etc etc, for getting cash and ranking up. Thank you, have a good day.

Can someone explain Melusi's Banshee to me?

Melusi is a operator I play a lot and really enjoy but I fear I use her Banshee's wrong. I set them on the floor on the inside of doorways going into site, as well as some common defuse spots. But I realize that I'm banking on it triggering when a enemy is in the shown radius when deployed, even if that may not be how it works.

So, does a enemy need to be in the shown circle for it to activate, or do they need to walk past or over it for it to activate until they leave the radius? Melusi is a operator I really enjoy and I want to be good at her, at least in terms of setting up site and helping my team especially. Thank you for reading and for any advice you may give me, have a good day 😄

I'm relatively new to Siege and have only started playing this season, but I've already got to level 100 in the BP and have opened all my Delta Packs. I'm a little disappointed in what I got, as it was mostly weapon skins for the same five weapons and one or two operator pieces sprinkled in. So, I'm wondering if when Year 11 Season 2 rolls around, will the rewards change or do they stay the same for the rest of the year, or is it something else entirely? Thank you.
