Casuals need to exist for every game, don’t get me wrong, but it kind of pisses me off, unfairly pisses me off, that I love marvel as much as I do. Because 2 things:

1: Most casual gamers don’t know that much about Marvel, so when somebody who isn’t well known is added, they complain. Complain complain complain. My duo, as much as I adore them, says they’re going to drop the game if they don’t stop adding nobodies.

NOBODIES?! BROTHER please open up Disney plus and just spend a day or two watching anything that isn’t the avengers. I promise you’ll find something to enjoy, and learn to love characters that aren’t iron man and Captain America, Spider-Man and Hulk.

2: THIS IS A VERY HOT TAKE DONT CRUCIFY ME People not trusting Netease’s vision. Yeah, we have a lot of duelists. Yeah, strategists are useful in fights. They might even be what makes or breaks teamfights sometimes. But saying that people need to drop the game if they add another duelist is WILD. Dude.
Just
Just play the game.
It’s not a profession.
And not everybody has the capability to heal.
It’s just the way it is.

Duelists aren’t ruining the game. Crybabies are. And that’s what I can’t stand

Probably exactly a week ago, downloaded this to play with my partner who is BARELY able to keep their place in plat rank.
Leveled up to 15, did my rank placements, I get placed in silver III.
Every. Single. Game. Someone from the opposing team admits to smurfing, the most honest of all being a celestial champion lord daredevil. I had such a miserable run that when that daredevil was placed in the opposing team for the SECOND match in a row with me, I had to pass my controller to my partner.
The daredevil admitted to smurfing on a alt so they could play with their friend thats new to the game which is understandable to an extent, but 7/10 of the time someone admits they’re in a much higher rank and the reasoning being so they can play with a newbie can’t hold up as a reasonable excuse anymore.
This is my first time playing a shooter game on a console, so I’m quite obviously not good at this game, but at this rate I can’t even progress to get any better if I’m just facing people that have HUNDREDS of hours on ONE dps.
I hear smurfing is bannable but is NetEase even CONSIDERING any of the reports about the smurfers? 😭

Legit, carrying an entire time healing, and there's always one asshole "I ain't getting any heals". Like bruh we won the game and I got MVP with 50k+ heals. Called em out mid game and they wouldn't speak up again. And then, I get reported for inappropriate speech? Fuckin pussies lol.

REALISTICALLY HOW IS ONE SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THING + DINO + 3 SUPPORT COMP LIKE ITS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE

Okay so let me just say I feel very similarly about Luna players as I do to Jeff players. It's inspiring when there's a good one and I love having a good one on my team but most of them are f****** dog s*** that never switch. Also, this is a perspective from low celestial I imagine it gets better at high ELO. Okay, so I'm starting to think that a bunch of people that lorded her when she was more of a healbot, Now hear she's strong so they try her out again despite her being very very skillful, like yes she's broken but in a skillful way like when BC was broken for instance not like prime Dino was broken where it's just pick up and play. And they just don't know how to play healer at all. It's a bunch of DPS mains that never play healer and they don't know how and they complain about peel despite them being able to 1v1 Literally every dive character and all they do is f****** run away so the other healer can't patty cake with them and nobody can help them and then complain about no help. In some ways it is not unlike a lot of healer players but if you are that type of player, just go rocket, cloak or invis or something brain dead. Why would you go Luna? an actually skillful artisan healer with heavy diva vibes. You're giving a bad name to a very good character

Like fuck you if you ban my character selected. I won’t straight up throw, but no I’m not swapping, I’m playing whatever role or character I want, and no quite frankly I won’t be too mad if we lose. Loser ass teammates ruin this game man. You are fr a piece of shit if you ban teammates characters.

I've NEVER had a good widow on my team. They're always the weakest link. But for some reason whenever I get a widow on the enemy team they're turning my team into jfk

I'll politely ask them to swap because most of the time they'll be going double or even triple negative. And most of the time they'll tell me to piss off, kill myself or tell me to go fuck myself. At that point I go groot and wait for them to die so I can wall them in spawn. And if they dont swap and get out ill just start walling whenever they get set up. And if they're the rare widow player and they say nothing to me I just shut my brain off and stop trying

She NEEDS a rework. She takes way too much team support and player skill to work. And why do that when I can swap to one of the other op pokeslop dps? Like hela, cyclops, phoenix, elsa or punisher.

Edit: Lotta morons trying to make excuses for trash players lmfaooooo

tl:dr: I quit the game because of my perception of the devs biases which has very little to do with gameplay and I don’t know if it’s just or not.

Firstly, I don’t mean to come across as hateful or rude , this is just truly how I feel. I would really appreciate if any other black members of the community could give me their perspective

I used to play this game a ton when it first came out. I eventually reached eternity mainly playing magik for multiple seasons, but I stopped playing for the past 6 months, not because of anything really gameplay related, but because of the culture that these devs have cultivated.

it’s not just the treatment of the black characters like moon girl and Dino being a duo for the past decade in the comics but her presence being shafted in game or none of the black characters getting a disco skin or all of the black characters being underwhelming tier wise ect ect

its mostly because of how much the white characters are worshipped or at least that what it seems like to me. For example, Emma frost NEVER looked like how she does in rivals in the comics. They very obviously increased her allure so that in turn, people will be more inclined to purchase her skins. She also dominated the game when she first came out for multiple seasons

Similar thing with Elsa, similar thing with Phoenix, gambit, daredevil, invis ect ect…

every white character (especially white female characters) that comes out is immediately S tier and is redesigned to look like a super model to sale skins. I mean cap just got a swimsuit skin with a 15 inch schlong. DD, gambit gets a swimsuit skin where they are the most chiseled men you have ever seen and they are all S tier with the highest pick rates.

I mean…really? I could understand if the devs were white…but they aren’t. I understand that the primary consumers of this game are likely white people so they will be catered to the most, but can another group have any sort of representation at all especially considering that’s the entire point of Marvel? There are tons of non white people that support the game

idk, maybe I’m overthinking but these thoughts turned me off from the game completely.

For reference ive played OW for nearly a decade and play smaller games with barely 1000 players and ive genuinely never seen a poorer more Bullshit matchmaking system in my life

I dont wanna be the blame my team guy, ik i probably sound like one but dear lord today ive just been rubber banded from getting absolutely stomped and having single celled organisms on my team to playing against them, I have fun in neither the first for the obvious and the second since I play characters like spiderman or cap where I struggle to get picks before my hitscan domes them from a mile away

Anyway the main issue is ive never seen matchmaking THIS unbalanced in any game ever. Bad OW2 lobbies were never THIS bad and idk if its cause I play characters that kinda depend on their team being semi decent to play front/ use the space i make but dear god the sheer helplessness i feel when I spectate my supports afk randomly or missing every shot while the enemy team plays like they just got drafted into faze flan frustrates the hell out of me. If it was a smaller game id get it but youre telling me this AAA marvel property doesn't have enough players to put me in a relatively similar skill lobby? It's making any chance of learning to actually play the game painful as well since I just get rolled over and over again or clear so quickly I cant actually learn anything

Fix your fucking matchmaking, getting to level 15 has been absolute hell and my first placement match was exactly like this.
