He’s good in the right comp, and the first character that I feel like I can really carry on, given that I have at least one competent healer. I love how aggressive he can be at times, and at other more reserved and defensive. His kit is simple, but offers versatility in a way that i feel like most other poke hero’s miss.

That, and sinful blackout is cool as shit. This character was just made for me.

It took me roughly 16 hours to lord him in ranked, qp, and 18v18.

No squids, no peni nests, no Loki clones, no rocket beacons, no unattended Emma shields are safe with this mf around.

I feel like he is the perfect character to handle these. On dps it always feels like a chore to swap off target to handle squids, but on him it feels like it’s what I’m supposed to do.

Trying ranked again for the first time in over a year, and wanted to give Hood a try. We had a Spider-Man on our team, and I know the struggle of dealing with these counter swaps, so made an effort to enable his dive as best as I could.

He popped off, and we won.

Once a main, always I main, I got yall!

We almost have enough lifesteal characters to have a full lifesteal comp. Not sure how good it would be though

Edit: didn’t expect this to get as much attention as it did. I’m reading all the replies little by little

She plays rivals casually with me, but doesn’t know how black cat works at all. I let her play black cat a few days ago, and she kept talking about how many “kitties” she got. She was talking about the cat face icon over enemy head when you hit them. She was so excited about it, I didn’t tell her what they were and just let her be excited and cheered her on.

Today she came in during my last game I needed for lord. I was in an 18v18, and just kind of claw whipping through the cluster of enemies, and she gasped so loud, and dropped her jaw. Her eyes were huge, and she said “LOOK HOW MANY KITTIES YOU GOT!? YOURE DOING SO GOOD HOLY SHIT!!” And I couldn’t help but laugh lol. I was actually getting my ass kicked, but she didn’t know any better. I love her so much and her reaction was so cute.

I wanted to share this story but non of my friends play black cat, so I thought you guys might get some enjoyment from it.

Also, finally hit lord today, and I’m euphoric over it 😁😁😁😁😁

I know the guns have never been bad, but I just overall have a preference for melee in general

Until this skin came out

Hitting consistent shots to keep that music going is so energizing and fun, I can’t stop playing this character. I was supposed to lord black cat this weekend, but fuck it, I guess I’m going to champion Deadpool at this rate.

I just kept pressing buttons and it kept working

I have 1500 hours on pc, but I’m pretty new to console, so I’m just messing around in 18v18 inc ai (because the non ai ones have long Que times). 9 times out of ten when I ult, the bots just beam me down, but this time I ulted since we were losing the fight and it didn’t really matter, and the ult just wouldn’t die.

Was fun, just wanted to show this off because it’s so funny to see how clueless I look on console. I didn’t expect to teleport myself so far in the back (and survive)

A door to door salesman for an internet and phone company (we’ll call them company A) came by and offered us a deal for our phone plan. I had already been with Company A for over a decade on my dad’s plan, and my wife currently has a plan with Company B. The new plan would save us money, so we agreed.

The salesman tells us that there is no way to transfer a phone number from Company A to Company A, so instead we would need to transfer my number first to my wife’s plan with Company B, then transfer both numbers to a new plan on Company A. We were a little confused, but we agreed.

He then basically just went through the entire transfer process for us using her phone (without telling us that was what he was doing), moving my number from his company, which is A, to my wife’s plan, and confirmed the $10 charge to move the number.

Immediately after, when we attempted to move both of our numbers back to Company A, we failed the fraud check when he called the fraud department of his company A, and we weren’t given a reason why, only told that no details were available on their end, but that we did pass the credit check. We have no criminal history either, and make good money, so we’re clueless. But now both of our numbers are stuck on my wife’s expensive plan, and we aren’t able to move them back to company A, and will likely have to find a 3rd company to move to.

About 2 hours later, I came to realize that my number had been changed when it was transferred, which means I would lose access to everything that used my phone number to log in, including anything with 2FA using that number. Panicked, I called the salesman back, and he told me he was going to call Company B

About and hour later, I attempted to call him again, and the call was declined. That was when he texted me telling me he was on call with Company B pretending to be me, and had the audacity to ask for my wife’s details so he could continue to pretend to be me.

In the end, we contacted company B ourselves and got my number back, but I’m still stuck on my wife’s plan.

I asked for their supervisors number, and they informed me they worked for a third party sales company that was authorized by Company A to make sales. I haven’t been able to reach their supervisors number that they gave me (he only answered once, and immediately hung up on me) and the salesmen has stopped responding to my calls and texts. I called Company A, and they suspect that the fraud check failed because of an error made by the salesman, but I’m still waiting on more information.

But since they were third parties, they aren’t in Company As system, thus making a formal complaint has been nearly impossible. To make things worse, the local store near me told me that is indeed possible to move transfer my existing phone number from the plan it was on to a new plan, which is the way it should have been done.

I don’t even know how to proceed with solving this issue, considering both companies just make you sift through robo answering machines for 20 minutes before transferring you to the lowest level employee who shouldn’t have to deal with issues like this.

Needless to say, I was a little more than mildly infuriated

Edit: this wasn’t a scam. They were just untrained and unprofessional. The internet works fine, and they got no money from me.

With recent discussions regarding cheating, it appears that Netease may finally be stepping up their anticheat.

The attached screenshot is an announcement posted from the Rivals team on discord. The important part, and the reason why I’m posting this, is the part that discusses “game modifiers”.

It’s unclear if skin mods are counted as game modifiers, but it would not be unreasonable to believe that these mods would count as such. This isn’t the first time the devs have publically discouraged the modding of their game, but with Netease cracking down on cheaters, I can’t say for certain that modders wont be hit with warnings, or disciplinary actions to their rivals accounts.

Also, I understand that this crackdown is aimed at performance altering mods, cheats, and hacks, but that doesn’t guarantee skin mods are safe. It’s irresponsible to tell other users that’s modding is safe, or that nothing will happen to their account if they mod. The official stance of Netease has always been that they do not condone the modding of this game.

This message is just a warning to players who wish to continue modding their game files: Mod at your own risk.

Discussions don’t have to be Spider-Man related in this thread.

Hi Rivals,

Season 8 is finally here. With the arrival of Devil Dinosaur and some major balance changes, the game is in a very different spot today.

We’ve been reading the early discussions about damage numbers, team-ups, and heroes that need help. Now, we want to hear about your actual experience in Season 8.

🔍 What are we looking for?

Devil Dinosaur: How is the new hero playing? Is he fun and strong, or just a big target that is too easy to kill?

Damage and Healing: Are you dying too fast, or is it impossible to kill anyone because the healing is too high? How does the combat feel to you right now?

Team-ups: Are the current team-ups fun to play with, or are combos like Hela and Namor still making the game less fun?

Reworks: Many players say Black Widow is useless right now. Does she need a total rework? Which other heroes are struggling in the new meta?

New Map & Theme: What do you think of the new map and the prehistoric theme this season? Does the vibe work for you?

Time to see who is actually cooking in Season 8. We'll see you in the queue. ✌️

I miss these cat forms, even though I hated them at the time.

I’ve wanted to play a worgen for a few years now because their updated models look so cool to me, but it feels weird to have these huge claws and swing around a sword or axe, or slinging spells. I want to rip people apart like Genn.

The closest we have I think is monk worgen, but that unarmed combat style looks too disciplined, and not feral like a werewolf should be (yes, I know they are civilized).
