The dev’s thought process for which skins get legendary treatment with all the bells and whistles of vfx and recolors nearly feels as though they aren’t true fans of Marvel. Lol, I know that’s a crazy claim to make but holy shit. You’re telling me iconic suits from the comics like DD’s Man Without Fear and Spider-Man’s BLACK SUIT aren’t legendary but a luna race car skin and a college professor sue skin are? And don’t pull the larger customer base card because spidy players collect skins like infinity stones.

Coulda made his billy clubs white or wooden. Coulda given him white smoke instead of flames and a smoke dome for ult. Coulda gave black suit spidy tendrils in during ult, darker voice-lines (if you think thats overdoing it, see: lady loki) and a symbiote taking over emote (bully maguirre still cool though).

It’s like the character art team all main sue, luna and psy, and spend their free time workshopping skins for them and every time the lead game designer tells them they need to make another insert character comic skin he’s met with groans and rolled eyes. DD’s man without fear skin literally has the default clubs holy shit. It is the epitome of “Here damn”

Replace GOHT/uppercut with venom abilities I guess.

He could probably have a midrange lighting bolt or something.

I really really don’t want a situation where they give him less swings to compensate for his damage being higher than peters in his other abilities

In fact I only really use wall-climbing when not in combat: to set up ambushes or to cover more ground quicker while I wait for swing cooldowns. I think we’re long overdue for a QOL buff to his passives.

That felt REALLY good. (also did my uppercut no reg?)

Have you seen the quality of quickplay’s matchmaking??

I LOVE how the outcome of matches are near predetermined because THEY get minimum level 50 teammates and I get a stacked team of max level 12 post-lobotomy patients using the common room playstations,

I LOVE watching my level 4 thing jog headfirst into a full team to blow up again and again and again,

I LOVE when the enemy team having their way with us uses text chat to rub it in mid game AND post,

and BOY OH BOY do I SPRING WITH GLEE when my mirror match types insert mirror character diff in chat KNOWING they lost every isolated 1v1 and my teammates likely bots (HAVE TO BE)

I LOVE HOW COMPETITIVE IS DEAD IN MY REGION FORCING ME TO PLAY SHIT MATCHES ON QUICKPLAY OR USE SERVERS THAT’LL SHOOT MY PING UP AND MAKE ME USELESS IN THE GAME ANYWAY

I’m taking a break.

I mean they made his kit, so obviously they must’ve known the steep learning curve to be able to viably use him in higher elo, especially given the 5 star difficulty rating they gave him. But looking at how much the playerbase has evolved how they utilize his kit makes me wonder if maybe they took his kit further than even the dev’s intended design.

I mean if default settings are an indicator of how they expected players to use him then he’d only be good for cleaning up half hp targets which means voice comms would be near required for coordination, and solo dive would be out of the question. Spastic simple swing, inability to bhop, GOH and GOHT binded to the same key.. like there’s no way they thought he should be played like this right? And if that’s the case, why the hell did they make his default settings so.. painful to use?
