Soldiers please hear me out:

Cap is a shield hero, that shield is part of him, an extension of his fighting capability, he is complete with the shield like Spider-Man with his webs or Juggernaut with his helmet.

‎

This suggestion will hopefully make Cap guard up more instead of the shield breaking so fast, that shield is nigh indestructible, only Thanos' Blade with the Infinity Gauntlet was able to crack and destroy that shield in the movie.

‎

Strange has his dark magic meter with its usage, Angela her flying charge meter, Emma her laser meter, Thor his thorforce, the Hood his firerate meter and Magneto his push meter. Hopefully Cap can gain shield health back actively.

‎

As far as I know, Cap can only generate shield health PASSIVELY by not guarding up which will refill his shield health slowly, he has no way to generate shield health in an ACTIVE manner whether by using his ability or attacking someone, his Ult gives him bonus health but not shield health.

‎

1ST SUGGESTION:

• When Cap guards up, he has a 0.5s "shield invulnerability" window whereas his shield health receives no damage. It's only half a second before his shield health takes damage.

‎

• NOTE: Blade when he guards up, has a 1s "parry" window in which he receives no damage from the front, afterwards the remaining guard up duration is only an 80% damage reduction.

‎

‎

2ND SUGGESTION:

• enhanced VES can only be used during Ult (Cap can throw it twice during Ult duration since its cooldown is 6s)
• you guard up first then press VES (shield throw ability) for Cap to throw an enhanced version

‎‎

• usual 4 bounce but first hit damage is 100 then 90 then 80 and last bounce is 70 damage
• each enemy hit by the shield bounce will restore 50 shield health to Cap's shield

‎‎

• you can follow-up or not, if not then you restore 200 shield health if it hits 4 enemies max
• shield kick follow-up has homing aim assist to the enemies hit by enhanced VES but auto aims only 1 enemy

‎

• shield kick follow-up prioritizes the lowest health enemy and it deals 50 damage and restores 100 shield health
• in theory, if it bounces to 4 enemies and you follow-up with a shield kick then Cap restores 300 shield health

‎‎‎

This will allow Cap to use his indestructible shield more instead of running away and jumping around like he is Captain Lebron James playing Basketball, Cap is after all a shield hero not a sprint hero, when he says he can do this all day, he actually faces enemies not run away from them even when he was very thin before his super soldier serum.

‎

Posted this here first because you soldiers deserve the briefing before I post it on the Main Sub in a month or two, hoping the shield push makes it in Season 11.

‎‎

additional animated gif commented below to demonstrate the guard up first then press VES to throw an enhanced version.

Notice how Cap's kick here is different from Iron Fist's spin kicks.

I just remembered this cool Spidey move in the opening of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1. I like to main Spidey but bad at pulls, still waiting for the Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider hood suit.

As we all know, the enhanced version of the Cyclops team-up is ass since you lose the 2nd dash on activation and it's permanently ON.

‎

Rivalsmeta website has some data on how many Wolv users use the team-up:

• BLAST SLASH: 2,388 matches (on activation: extends melee range)
• PAIR OF THREES: 9,099 matches (on activation: gives movement boost)

‎

‎
Blood Hunt's Capwolf boss applies this cool 3 claw mark on your hero, they already have the VFX animation so how about for the enhanced Cyclops team-up:

• Remember Venom's phoenix team-up which applies a spark mark that detonates every 3 tentacle sweeps? That has a huge range and area of effect?
• After every 3 normal attacks and right-click dash from Wolverine, it detonates a blood loss on a target that deals 21 damage and Wolverine instantly regenerates 10 health then resets
• Or after every 3 normal attacks and right-click dash from Wolverine, it applies a bleed that deals 12 damage per 0.5s over 1.5s and Wolverine also heals 5 health per 0.5s over 1.5s then resets
• These 2 ideas is like a combo of Venom's spark mark and The Hood's mini lifesteal when he machine guns someone
• Or each consecutive claw mark deals 2 damage, 4 damage and 6 damage for a total of 12 damage on 3 attacks then resets
• What ideas do you guys have?

‎

If you don't know, in the movies when you heat up Adamantium, it can also cut other Adamantium, you can see it in The Wolverine 2013 film when Silver Samurai cut Wolv's claws or in that goofy Deadpool final boss film when Wolv beheads him in X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2009. Cyclop's team-up heats up Wolverine's claws.

So from 3 models, Hulk will now have 2 models: only Bruce Banner and Hero Hulk.

‎‎

The Monster Hulk form is now a bigger Hero Hulk with green gamma particles VFX all over his body (like Iron Fist Ult), a size increase of maybe 20% of Hero Hulk's 3D model. You have a better center vision in Monster Hulk form and a slimmer hitbox compared to the old Monster Hulk 3D model.

‎‎
This way we will receive more Hulk skins since they only need to animate 2 skins for Hulk like Magik and Whitefox.

‎
NOTE: if you haven't seen the new Spidey movie, Hulk there transformed from Professor Hulk to Monster Hulk and he became bigger that shocked Spider-Man.

Hawkeye's arrow names:

1. Piercing arrow (normal attack)
2. Blast arrow (weapon switch normal attack)
3. Hypersonic arrow (ability)
4. Rebound arrow (suggestion, ability)

‎

‎

• Cyclops has Ricochet Force that hits multiple targets
• Cap has Vibranium Energy Saw that hits 3 or 4 targets
• Can Hawkeye have a Rebound Arrow please? Hits only 1 target, long range, 50 damage

• Left animated pic shows the +40% increase fire rate trait of the shotgun in Blood Hunt PvE

‎

• Middle animated pic shows that only 4 shotgun hulls drop on reload

‎

• 4 shots instead of 8 but a faster firerate will help this gun not feel clunky, janky and laggy as if my ping is high

‎

• Blade does not shy away from using other weapons aside from his signature sword

‎

• Give him a Dino or Hood team-up call it Monster Hunter that affects his shotgun and block since BOTH his team-ups affect only his lifesteal sword dash

‎

• Blood Hunt already fixes this shotgun with**+40% fire** rate BUT 4 shots only instead of 8 shots

Nico would be a nice strategist in Marvel Rivals as she is in the Midnight Suns game. Plus she's skilled with her Staff of One like Gambit and she's friends with Scarlet Witch and Magik which can get them team-ups or a magic team-up with Dr. Strange

stand down soldier

1. Captain America's shield push (Hero Fantasy)

• Liberty Rush should have displacement, a shield push like basic Thor's push. Marvel Rivals is the only game that does not allow Cap to shield push

‎

• Thor's hammer push is still more versatile since you can aim it upwards and you can freely change movement direction during the dash even do a snatch U-turn

‎

• Cap's shield push is a simple straight dash not omnidirectional though he is CC immune but he gets body blocked by even the smallest hero like Rocket Raccoon

‎

• Shield push by Guarding Up first then press Liberty Rush, it pushes and deals an extra +15 damage (downside is you cannot shield push if you have no shield health left)

‎‎

‎‎

2. Storm's Thor team-up (Hero Fantasy)

• If you choose this team-up, Storm has no additional ability like the Healing Rain of Jeff's team-up making her boring to play like how she was before Season 9's team-ups

‎

• Please give her a Hailstorm or Blizzard ability, casts it in an area like how Emma casts her floating shield, it does damage per second, a bit of slow but the longer you stay in that area the slow accumulates but nothing crazy maybe 3% slow from the start becoming 18% slow at max, 7s duration. Lorewise selecting the Thor team-up, she now has access to the Bifrost and can channel Jotunheim's frost

‎

• Or Cloud ability as she says: "Wind, cloud and storm, hear my command!" A Fog is a form of Cloud, she casts a Fog Smokescreen to an area like how Emma casts her floating shield, anyone who goes inside it, Storm will magically have vision of them and if she hits the Fog Smokescreen with her lighting, they receive area damage in it and immediately the Fog disperses. Lasts 5s, lorewise Storm has access to Asgard's magic making her see anyone who enters the Fog

‎

• Or a magical Mist, would work like a weaker version of InviWoman's ult, Storm forms a mystical mist around her for 2s, Storm is invulnerable during cast and allies inside see through a transparent mist, they gain 50 bonus health per second but enemies outside will see a thick cloud only

‎‎

‎

3. Rocket Raccoon's grenade launcher (Hero Fantasy)

• Rocket Raccoon is hands down the most boring hero in Marvel Rivals even with the Season 9 team-ups introduced as he severely lacks an explosion ability

‎

• Remove Bruce Banner from the game nobody likes to play him so that new Hulk skins will have 1 or 2 models only and give Bruce Banner's grenade effect to Rocket Raccoon as an active offense ability regardless of the team-up

‎

• Grenade Launcher, deals 50 damage, big area, bounces enemies away, bounces Rocket Raccoon too like Bruce Banner's grenade if near, this ability cooldowns faster when Rocket heals allies with his bouncing heals

‎

• Rocket Raccoon: "Let's see… Ion turret, photon reaction chaingun, Mini Black Hole". When his Ult's duration is done, enemies within the area are quickly pulled to the black hole, deals 30 damage and a 0.35s Control Effect, will also happen when enemies destroy his Ult prematurely

‎ ‎

‎‎‎
4. Hulk's lack of skins and an alternate thunderclap (Hero Fantasy)

• It is good to know from Miller Ross that Hulk is a bottom fragger alongside Human Torch in selling their skins and I'm sure one of the main reasons for this is that he has 3 very different 3D models to sculpt

‎

• Like Widow who got reworked into becoming higher picked and a skin seller, Hulk legit needs to lose the Bruce Banner form, Marvel Rivals has its own identity, it's not Overwatch where you need to copy a hero with their own forms

‎

• Get rid of the Bruce Banner form and maybe even the Monster Form, once you do this, you also get rid of the horrible camera spin when Hulk transforms, get rid of 2 birds with 1 stone

‎

• Hulk's Monster Form has no FOV increase like White Fox's Ult and it covers your crosshair since his arms are so huge, perhaps make Hulk's Monster Form a resized model of his Normal Hulk Form with glowing eyes and glowing arms (kinda like Iron Fist's Ult but less effects), with that they only need to model 1 skin for Hulk instead of 3 models ‎

‎

• Monster Form now would be like Hulk 2003 who gets bigger the angrier he gets and also Hulk in Spider-Man Brand New Day who became larger, no more shoes or gun that magically reappears, just a 25% size increase for his Normal Hulk Form's 3D model

‎‎

• Bruce Banner is fun for the memes and stuff but honestly they can remove this form with with his Peashooter from Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

‎

• If the human model of Peni is not playable as well as Moon Girl with Dino might as well not make Bruce Banner playable. 3 Models for Hulk is hurting his future skins

‎

• For hero fantasy, make Hulk heal himself when he bubbles himself (2s) a 50hp/s and still continues to heal even when the bubble breaks

‎

• If Wolverine and Iron Fist got +3 damage then please increase the Hulks damage by 3, Hulk has pillow fists for a green goliath

‎

• Alternate Thunderclap, uses 1 of the 2 charges of Gamma Burst (shared usage), has a longer cooldown, Hulk thunderclaps a cone area that pushes enemies away from the cart, different area than InviWoman's rectangular push

Savage Claw has a 0.27s attack speed and Wolverine's Ult has a 0.75s stun, you can maximize Ult damage by:

• slamming them further for small damage ticks
• then 2 normal attacks
• and immediately right-click dash (Vicious Rampage) to animation cancel, perform all this within 0.75s

‎

This is especially great if you want to securely eliminate 2 healers that have 250 hp or 275 hp. Gambit team-up is always the greatest team-up to secure eliminations, Cyclops team-up while also buffed, is only percentage damage so it's only good against tanks.

‎

Berserk Claw Strike is when Wolverine attacks very fast after his Feral Leap, it has the same damage so avoid using it during his Ult or you won't feel Logan's damage buff.

Blade team-up with Cap:

• base version = add 2 max stacks for Blade's lifesteal (from 10 to 12)
• enhanced version = add 4 max stacks for Blade's lifesteal (from 12 to 14)

‎

Blade is very hard to kill at 14 max stacks with his increased attack speed, sustained lifesteal and my Cap shielding him by giving 150 bonus health. Me and fam gonna run this combo till we reach Diamond 3 to get that animated frame.

‎

Voltaic Union, what could've been:

• Shield throws bounce once instead of piercing/phasing through enemies (wtf?)
• each hit/bounce cooldowns VES ability by 0.2s
• +5 damage on base version (45 damage becomes 50 damage), on bounce -5 damage
• +10 damage and faster projectile speed on enhanced version (becomes 55 damage). on bounce -5 damage
• you can still VAC (voltaic animation cancel)

*click pic above to zoom

For a hero known for his iconic shield, Cap has no way to generate shield health back, his shield is like a weaker Strange shield with the only advantage that it can bounce projectiles back randomly.

‎

SUGGESTIONS:

• Remember that Lucky Loan team-up of Cap and Black Cat in pre-season 9 where Cap can finally aim with the projectiles he bounced? Please give it to Cap

‎

• Every 3rd melee attack of Cap should generate 25 shield health back

‎

• Every hit of his basic shield throw should generate 25 shield health back

‎

• The 6s cooldown shield throw ability should generate 25 shield health back on hit including ricochet hits

‎

*Cap cries in hiding...

No extra 3D modeling just VFX making it applicable to all Iron Man skins.
Angela's grounded stance where she wields dual axes has a built-in dash with every 3rd attack.

‎

Iron Man in grounded stance changes his abilities:

• repulsor blasts become punches with the 3rd attack an uppercut
• unibeam becomes a forearm red laser, medium range only and shares the same meter with unibeam
• rocket barrage becomes a laser spin

‎

He also gains bonus health upon touching the ground but requires 5s cooldown before being able to fly again.

It's been months since this emote came out...The super soldier still has that 💅✨️ line delivery...⚰️

A serious "Avengers Assemble" voice line delivery from the voice actor himself would suffice as shown in the video to differentiate Cap's Ult shout.

*NOTE: All voices in the video are from the same voice actor for Captain America in Marvel Rivals: Brian Bloom
