I booted up Microsoft store and saw no update for Marvel Rivals. I open the game and the menu is the same. I check the roster… nothing. There’s still no Jubilee. Are we still getting her? Is the season canceled? Are they still releasing new heroes?
Got feedback. Made some updates. 60 ppl didn’t like it last time but I’m right about everything. Notice how nobody said ANYTHING about Rocket. That’s cuz they know I’m right.
Rank adjustments:
Cyclops bumped down.
Hela bumped down.
Cap knocked down.
Venom raised up.
Reed still can’t stretch his legs (no change).
New rankings:
Angela ranked (congratulations).
DvD ranked (congratulations Big Ahh Dinosaur).
Carnage ranked (can’t go liquid mode).
Cloak ranked (can’t go invisible… teleport… or shield).
Captain Falcon ranked.
Nova ranked (need feedback).
Still need feedback on the heroes with lore I’m unfamiliar with. Do any Nova mains have opinions on how well the devs fulfilled his hero fantasy?
For those who don’t understand the Cyclops ranking:
• His kinetic energy beams got changed to lasers. (Even if they say otherwise. His primary functions just like Ultron except for headshots)
• He can’t lead the way.
• Using his kinetic energy beams to push people around has for the most part been ignored by the devs in exchange for just using them to dmg
• lacks his super endurance
• lacks his super durability
• has no ability to frequently push himself around using his kinetic energy beams because the one ability he has to do that is on a 12s cooldown rather than a meter, meaning if you do want to do a quick side dash… you can’t do it again for 12 seconds. In fantasy you’d be able to reposition short distances on repeat aiming where you want to move away from for high octane evasion (and your meter would run out in game eventually). (Iron Fist does this a bit but dodges towards where he is aiming)
• enemies walking into Cyclops secondary aren’t even being pushed back. Cyclops is able to use that beam to force even Juggernaut back. But in Rivals it’s just a laser so… whoopty
Stuff like not being able to utterly obliterate a destructible surface as HULK THE SMASHER OF SURFACES
Stuff like White Fox ult not being agile
Stuff like Venomy not moving like a symbiote unless it’s his ult
Stuff like super soldiers not being on your left 🏃♂️💨
Stuff like Strange being a level 1 sorcerer
Stuff like Vermin Rodent and Moon Knight not being melee
Stuff like Starlord not having elemental guns
Stuff like Reeeeeed Richards not being able to stilt mode himself up to some high ground
Stuff like the Black Widow situation is crazy
Stuff like Iron Fist being Iron Fists and not having One Punch Man energy
Stuff like Jubilee not having splash damage
Stuff like Nightcrawler not being able to teleport allies
Stuff like Hela not being a necromancer or summoning more spikes from the ground.
Stuff like the Ultron situation is crazy
Stuff like Groot not being able to regrow himself from a plant and gradually build back up his stature.
Stuff like Thor not being the God of Thunder
The Loki situation is crazy.
One way to do it is healthbar immunity to projectiles.
Another way to do it is him having his base healthbar of 800 and a secondary healthbar of 900 that is only effected by projectiles and has a 70% antiheal on that healthbar. For a long time, a Punisher poking you will basically have no impact on you. AS IT SHOULD. And since that is AS IT SHOULD… you then keep that and balance the rest of the kit around that.
The worst thing they can do is introduce Luke Cage in a manner where he can’t get picked on by poke.
*need assessments of the heroes I haven’t played.
I would edit Thing down to unacceptable cuz I can’t get this one thing outta my head and it’s charging into that 3 inch tall wall on the Klyntar domination map with the bridge above the center.
Most dash character consistently trip on that and Cap especially since his dash has its momentum removed upon any contact with any surface even though you’d imagine him charging through people like a truck. CLOAK ULT too.
Cloak and Wanda fading into another dimension but getting pulled out of that dimension by Spidey autolock are also issues. If Wanda didn’t have that, she’d be flawless.
Starlord… made by the hands of god. Amazing QOL.
Hela bird is genuinely what you would get from prompting an AI so that’s why that category is called that. Venom is pretty close to that with his wall climb and sometimes overdemanding height for his slam.
Never thought I’d see a hero with worse QOL until they added Angela. She one upped him by having her own issues on top of the body sized shield issues and holy crap the shield equipping cooldown. They have that to Invis too when she should’ve just never had self shield. Unacceptable stuff.
