"Why is Hawkeye in TOBA?" "He isn't TOBA level"

"Why is Hawkeye in TOBA?" "He isn't TOBA level"

He has the lowest Winrate in the game, the lowest Pickrate (matching Storm), is placed as the Worst Hero in nearly all of the Tier Lists made by Pro's, and the last original skin he had gotten was nearly 300 Days ago, a bigger timeframe than Hulk.

By all means, at the moment, he is the worst and the most neglected Hero in the game, even more than Black Widow.

Thank you for the point compensation system Netease, it really affects the game

I had 2 throwers in 1 game and one of them left right after the timer for the game termination ran out. The enemy then proceeded to farm us and we weren't even allowed to leave the base.

High Celestial/Eternity games btw! You would think throwing would be punished here but nope! This happens too often, and 99% of the times I only get compensated 4-8 points.

The ban system is a joke, you can literally just type I'm throwing, run down games and won't receive any penalties. Out of 1000 reports if a miracle happens and you get a notification that someone got banned, it's at MAX just a 30 minute restriction.

I remember them saying seasons ago that a new system for compensation would be introduced, where is it?

Season 9 is less than a week away. Do you think we'll finally get a Strategist/Vanguard season?

I believe if it will be, it will the first season since s5 (November, Gambit/Rogue) where we would get a Strategist/Vanguard, and the third since s2 (April, Emma Frost/Ultron).

I really REALLY hate the Accessory and Unstable Molecules system, and I'm baffled that no one talks about it

For anyone saying that they amassed a ton of Unstable Molecules and have too much of them and that they're useless, no, you don't have a lot. I had accumulated three thousand Unstable Molecules and thought that I had plenty, but then ran out just after buying cosmetics on 2 skins. I can't even buy Ult VFX on White Fox anymore.

Why should I be paying 25$ just for half of the actual skin? Why does it take Lattice and not Units to convert them into molecules? And why are they just so expensive??

Just to put into perspective, on this skin the recolors and the Ult VFX cost 600 Molecules, and the minor accessories cost 300, meaning if I want to get the whole skin I need to pay extra 3000 Lattice (So 55$ for everything included). That's 600 Lattice more than the original skin and nearly equates to buying 2 separate Epic skins.

How did we make this happen, why are we just letting Netease milk us like cash cows?? I understand the Recolors costing some Lattice, but 12$ just for 2 different colors is still too expensive. When does it end?

First it was the Recolors, after it was the Ult VFX, then Accessories, will I need to pay added Lattice for MVP's and Sound Effects in the future as well? Because we clearly see with the Balloon System that if people are willing to pay for it, no matter how predatory, they will continue to push it to further lengths.

I'm actually surprised how people defend this practice or justify it.

What's a good accuracy on Winter Soldier I should strive for?

I recently picked up Winter Soldier since my main is pretty poo poo right now, and am having a ton of fun with him.

I don't usually play ranged heroes, so I don't know the metric I should try to achieve. Right now on WS it usually ranges from 50-60% accuracy and 10-20% headshots.

Genuinely, what can you do against this team comp?

To start off, you have THREE whole ultimates that accelerate ult charge (Cap, Gambit, Loki copy) that will further funnel each other, meaning you'll have double or maybe even triple the amount of ultimates compared to the enemy team.

You have tanks that deal great amount of damage on their own with ultimates that make them nearly immortal, which they will have more often because of the comp.

With Mantis you also have an added defensive ultimate, and with the dmg boosts you'll never fall off in terms of damage compared to the enemy

Cyclops is just the best in slot DPS at the moment, can be interchanged with Star Lord, Elsa or Punisher.

With this team you basically have 4 whopping defensive ultimates, insane damage and sustain, and unlimited ults.

How can you beat it without matching it?

(You can also swap Mantis with Adam Walrock or Rocket for the revives)

Fun Fact: Stratpool's katanas deal more damage than Iron Fist's primary, heals his team, and can also crit.

I'm not even counting his combo, even Stratpool's TTK is much faster than Fist.

It's still funny to me that the Hero who's entire identity is punching and kicking has the weakest melee in the game lol

Powercreep is a real thing

Each season, Marvel Rivals' balance team seems to increase the base power level of the roster, the only exception being s8.5 patch.

90% of the buffs are consisting of s0-s1 Heroes trying to catch up to the newer releases.

Nearly every Hero past Phoenix's release has seen more nerfs than buffs.

Blade is the most buffed hero in the game coming up to 22 buffs and 4 nerfs.

Iron Fist is the Hero with the most adjustments made, with over 30 changes since release, neck and neck with Human Torch.

(This picture doesn't include the addition, removal, or changes to Teamups)

Dive is kinda... yikes this season

Except DD (Which isn't even Top 5 duelist anymore), every single dive duelist is either C tier, or unplayable in D tier. Dive is countered by almost everything in this meta. Dino, White Fox and Luna, Cloak and Dagger, Triple support, Thing Ect. Even Peni is played a lot more often. I don't mind that counters to dive exist, there in fact should be strong picks against them, but why doesn't there exist any counters to Poke?

Nearly every Poke hero now beats divers at off-angles, when it should be the opposite, so there's unironically 0 reason to play them.

The only counter to Poke is picking more Poke and just having better aim.

Dive got gutted, while poke heroes and healers only get slaps on the wrist. I hope they somehow address this in s9.

Surprisingly, dive tanks like Captain America and Venom are the best Vanguards this season, since unlike Duelists, they can create a ton of space.

Do you guys remember the fun times when we added the strongest tank in the game to TOBA and graduated Iron Man

and all because of a Minor Iron Man buff lmao
