I believe a strong Vanguard season is the healthiest season compared to strong Duelists and Strategiest seasons.

It's been only a few weeks since the biggest and most meta shifting Update in Rivals history had been dropped, since then I'm already seeing both people from the community and influencers call for tank nerfs and complaining that they're too strong.

I disagree, compared to last seasons this season feels the most rewarding when working with your team and forces a good balance of needed value from all 3 of the roles.

During the strong DPS seasons damage was so high and duelists were so oppressive with their base damage and crowd controlling abilities that they were the ONLY role having fun while the other two were forced to take a back seat for them.

During the strong Strategist seasons everything felt so devalued compared to ults, they by far became to most important aspect of the game with neutral becoming less important. Nothing was happening until an ult was popped which felt tedious and unfun for both Duelists and Vanguards, for half the game they could do nothing until they had their ultimate and even then only some Vanguards and duelists could have value with their ults because support ults were so strong at the time.

A strong vanguard season has neither of these drawbacks, it puts more attention and value towards the Frontline and for brawl tanks. Forcing dive DPS to have synergy with their dive tanks, or forcing supports to have synergy with their Frontline when to push forward and when to push back.

I'm not a Vanguard main, I'm mostly a Strategist main but honestly the game feels way more healthy when tanks are strong. (Imo the game feels the worst when duelists are strong but that just might be a me thing)

let’s talk about how a lot of DPS players are complaining about how powerful some of the healers are and want them to be nerfed but , they are the first ones to complain that they’re not getting enough heals in a match!!

Whether or not it's intentional, it's racism...

l've seen a lot of discussion about whether the devs are racist, but I feel like most people are missing the point. No, I don't think that NetEase is a company of Neo-Nazis or mega bigots, it's entirely possible that the black characters have fallen behind accidentally.
That being said they ABSOLUTELY have an obligation to actively avoid situations like this, because even if they aren't trying to be malicious it absolutely does come off as being somewhat racist. To top it off rather than just addressing the concerns Danny goes on a crazy rant about how bringing up concerns about how black characters are handled makes you racist.

Hopefully the devs listen to the feed back thought, they're usually pretty good at that.

Also I didn't go over why people think the devs are racist, I think we've all seen those points about 1000 times.

These characters got done DIRTY

Especially for being "newer" characters, they aren't that old and they've already been thrown in the dumpster balance wise.

Sure Devil Dino was overtuned on release, but he got half a season, HALF A SEASON to be good and then gutted him ever since. Whitefox is honestly one of the coolest designed strategists, she got maybe a season or so of being decent, but is now a throw pick basically.

Cyclops? I almost forgot he existed and this is Cyclops we're talking about, he was also good on release, then just took an absolute nosedive.

HONORABLE MENTION: Jeff, I'm honestly surprised Jeff got thrown in the dumpster too, as he was always the cute, goofy pseudo mascot character for the game. Even his team ups are lame

People like this are why DPS players are so widely hated.

This guy was previous OAA ~130 or so, and spends all day every day trying to create excuses to throw.

Quickplay I just played with him he got butthurt that I died before I could heal him, so he swaps to Strange and traps us in spawn with portal. Goes Widow round 2 and keeps leaving/rejoining to make sure we don't get a replacement.

Too many people like this in the community, with weak mentals and no father. The fact that most of these players are DPS one tricks is why the role and its players are so hated by the community

What's Breaking(Killin) the game? ... Dive..

Recently saw everyone on X and on stream talking about balancing .. here are my thoughts

So Before everyone start piling up on me and replying egregiously kindly read...

My point ... Marvel rivals is a Casual centric game where casuals wanna play there favourite character and have fun , win and try hards wanna run everyone over. Now the problem is for them the game has to be balanced but the dive doesn't fit in that.

Which is.... Currently in game we have at least 2 divers that can one shot 250hp under 2 sec then take a 100 hp damage hide re gen it and comeback again... So to solve this the healers are give a billion utilities may it be GG's Luna or cloak multiple escape tool and brain dead damage,sustain now to compensate it in front. poke is pumped with egregious damage (hela ,elsa etc) leading to unkillable tanks like thing etc. The Cycle goes on... With which the new teamup system which was meant to " support solo play but reward teamplay" failed as most teamups (good ones) are op in there base form disregarding teamplay. Add 3 supports or no penalty for not playing 2-2-2 (healing , damage reduction etc).

The devs want everything SOLO PLAY , TEAM PLAY , NO ROLE QUEUE , QUEUE INDEPENDENCE, CASUAL PLAY , COMPETITIVE PLAY , FUN etc which is too much....

HOW TO SOLVE IT ?? ( Season 10 bingo card)

- Make base form just a minor buff or extra ability with niche role and Enhanced the real gamechanger

( Best teamup right now Mag- Emma , base is easily killed than enhanced is op)

- Decrease everything... Sustain , dive burst , poke damage

- not role queue but a team comp penalty for 2-1-3 1-3-2 etc.

- Rework characters rather than number buffing ( wanda , storm , blade , mr f , adam ,bp etc )

- Reduce abilities for characters that are just for not a single reason op ( luna , dd , black cat etc)

CHANGES AROUND THIS WILL BRING THE GAME TO A VERY FAVOURABLE STATE though there are still various issue but they are more niche ( optimization etc) then need.

All views are welcome 🤗🤗...

5 support bans in ignite magneto first protect but why nerf black cat over them

They should all be nerfed all the rest of the hero’s brought up to their level but I don’t know why the bias just because shes dive and she can actually compete with supports and win 1v1s and bait cool-downs easily like dd dont even that do no more

Support design will be doomed as long as healing ults are seen as the golden standard.

The damage ults like CND and Luna have done to the support roster is crazy.

The only way I can describe it is like a black hole, all supports must be created in a way that can either compete or be the same as those healing ults.

Jeff ults is one of the most creative ults in the game , but most people will think it's bad because it puts you in a disadvantage against these black hole ults.Same with Fox Ult.

The design of support ults is like you either heal enough or bring other benefits to compete against the black hole.

Don't believe Invis ult literally got buffed from 180 to 200 hp because people died too much on her ult compared to CND and Luna.

That's why gambit Ult will never get nerfed because the ult is a support designed to compete against the black hole . It was never a high healing ult.

So if you take out those effects or nerf those things so the devs fear it might be bad.

The reason most support ult in this game were reworked was because of the black hole. I felt so bad that Jubilee was another healing circle ult.

Compare this year design creativity to last year.

Last year the only healing circle ult was Invis, with ultron and Gambit actually being something that's not a healing circle.

This year we got deadpool, Jubilee, the only non healing circle standard ult was Fox.

I wish they can reverse this.

I don't know why this was needed for them because it made the ults feel much more important to hit them in the right moment where it'll be utilized to the fullest, but for some reason they let Strategists be the ones to be the exception which sucks.

Because I'm kinda tired of the fact that I have to deal with a healing ult more often then not, like it feels like instead of being something used to make a possibly game winning move, is just another move to push in with that isn't guaranteed a succession.

I think its just me, but I'm just not a huge fan personally, I just prefer all roles having the same ult conversion percentage for consistency.

This game needs more avoid slots

Three is just simply not enough. Just had a game where I could've used all three of my avoid slots for the shitters on my team but I didn't cause I just avoided someone the previous game. It literally doesn't even fucking matter that they stay on the list for 30 days cause they just get replaced by a different shitter the next day. There's so many people on this game that I never want on my team why do you limit me to three at a time. I know for higher ranks like eternity it would fuck up queue times but down here in lowly gm there's so many players that it doesn't matter. Give me like fucking 20 and I bet I'll make full use of it in a day and not even see a difference in queue times.

I too have decided to delete the game.

Though admittedly its kinda a self fault, this game brings out the worst in me and makes me act in really embarrassing ways that i just want to forget about and never have to show anyone, maybe i already have issues to begin with but this game makes me be someone i don't want other people to have to put up with, i get so tilted all the time from the steamroll matches the throwing teammates the one tricks the toxic teammates the smurfs the 5 dps and the many plethora of issues with the game itself, with no way to forcefully rank or level down i looked at my rank and my account level as a mockery of what i actually managed to do in the game, they weren't indicative of anything, i did horribly and felt horrible because of it, i also blew too much money on the game, so i have sent in my account deletion request, adios muchachos.

We got to start having the uncomfortable conversation about why DPS players don’t like to peel, but are the first to complain about heals ?!?

u/DAMAGEDEGG — 3 days ago

Can you give me a list of reasons why people might not want to play ranked anymore ? (mine is DPS mains are selfish and stupid and don’t want to swap to secondary fulfillment roles )

Yall are hilarious sometimes

During a ban phase, someone voted Spider-Man. The guy eating Doritos in the mic goes, “Don’t ban Spider-Man, I’m going to play Namor.”

So we don’t ban Spider-Man.

Game starts, they have a Spider-Man, he fails a pull & falls off the map.

Namor goes, “Oh this guy sucks, don’t worry about him.” And proceed to play flank Namor.

We manage to cap the first point, but we’re struggling to push because spider man was harassing our supports.

I get on the mic & go, “hey Namor, can you protect our supports from Spider-Man?”

He straight up goes, “That’s not my job”….

Excuse me????

You specifically said not to ban Spider-Man because you’re playing Namor…now it’s not your job?

His excuse was, “Spider-Man isn’t getting kills”

Which was true. However, I can’t push up as a tank if my supports are constantly paddy caking.

I tried to explain this to him & he muted me 💀

Just Clear Favoritism.

I think at this point we can all agree they killed white fox in s9. My biggest problem is why does Luna have a fox charm as a team up that is BETTER than white fox’s own charm? Yes the cooldown is 6 seconds longer but it can cleanse HERSELF after being hit and if wf is on your team it can hit TWICE. Why doesn’t white fox have either of these effects on her own charm, the charm she is giving to Luna!? The only logical explanation I can think of is favoritism. Meanwhile White fox is in the middle of a season where she can barely heal and can’t tp as much because she got nerfed to the ground. She also got shit team ups while Luna got two S+ team ups. 😐

Bots in QP, forced losses in comp.. where am i supposed to play comfortably?

The game feels pointless cuz every match I play feels predetermined. I love the gameplay, I’ve been a Marvel fan since before the MCU, and I used to no life OW until they abandoned it. So in theory this game should be perfect for me.. but thecountless predatory systems NetEase has in place ruin everything.

I stopped playing comp cuz solo queuing feels more like I’m fighting the matchmaking than the other team. Every few games, CLOCKWORK, I get matched with people who are on a loss streak just so I can lose with them. I’ll quit after two losses, come back the next day, and the exact same pattern repeats. I refuse to grind 20 hours a day just to reach Celest, so not long ago, I abandoned comp for qp.

In QP, the system feels similar, but I don’t care nearly as much. Or at least, I wouldn’t until I realized how often you’ll run into bots on qp. If I wanted to play against bots, I’d just go to the fucking bot mode. Why is it even there at this point?

All I want is a challenge. It’s rare that I feel like I win or lose fairly. I just want a fair match, but in this fucking game, I don’t think I’ll ever get one. I think I need to find a new comfort game.

I wonder how many people uninstalling it will take for the devs to fix the match making.

Seriously, it’s getting to the point that I’m seeing a, “Uninstalling” post every day. At least one a day. I just saw like 3 back to back.

There’s no more denying the match making is sporadic, and inconsistent.

This game doesn’t even feel like an actual game anymore

The integrity of this game is so tainted by throwers, DCs, lack of genuine team members, people refusing to switch, and diamond lobbies filled with smurfs/cheaters.

Netease is literally stealing money from people to goon over pixels that have ass shots and titties, while you play in your goon uniform you’re up against a non-Lord Hela on a lvl 25 account in a diamond lobby turn 360 degrees and headshots you every time, having 30+ final hits at the end of the game. Once you report that account, you still see that smurf queuing up the next day in your “recent player” list.

How is this fun for anyone? Oh yeah because it’s not about the actual game - ya’ll are waiting for that Emma frost pasties skin to come out next summer. This is basically just porn.
