No Spider-Man, no Cap, no Iron Man, just random characters with decent writing.
Gameplay is the same, BP the same, characters the same, story the same. Everything is now just made with brand new characters.
This season feels like 6.5 but even worse somehow.
Enemy team has a smurf and then used tracker to ban my mains (Angela, Peni) 💔
The absolute state of this game
Probably my favourite aspect of this game, thank you Netease, no really, I mean it.
I forgot! And the complimentary bot lobby that comes after is chefs kiss
You guys probably saw the Clip where it took literally 3 minutes just for the first fight the end and some team capturing point.This should not exist"they balance around the casuals"argument really made some of the dumbest balance decisions come to life(looking at you self shield)and is a really flawed decision overall.Now i dont mean that we stopped listening casuals entirely because they are important and are a huge part of the community like ı also think BP should be kept weak because he is toxic.Low elo stompers are always a thing in games and some games also make them weak on purpose.
But i think what rivals is doing isnt healthy for the game there is a reason this game is known for shitty balancing.I think balancing for the casuals this much does not work because of many reasons.
First is it makes casuals not improve stuff like so much healing,survavability,too many escape options makes player not improve at the game.Dps players doesnt know how to take position, tank players doesnt use cover and took bullets head on, supports can get away with burning their important cooldowns because they can get away with this mistakes normally a support or dps should die if caught in a bad position but in rivals mistakes like this dont get punished so even some high Rank players doesnt know how to position well.There is lots off tank players who doesnt use cover because the absurd healing and support ults in this game make them not learn it by normally playing the game(and ı know damage is also high but healing is a lot higher just look at ow supports)
there is a reason you see champ cnd players who are shit because thats what happens when you give a character 3 immortalty cooldowns they never have the learn the basics of the game and this makes so dive dps has to be insane or they do not compete in this enviroment.ı know there is a lot off players who doesnt wanna get better and just wanna play the game but you shouldnt cater to them this much the casual player isnt passionate about your game like a top 5 percent player is.
I know they are a small percentage but there is a reason most games balance around them pro play and high ranks is a core part off your community casual players can come and go but your pro players stick with the game and many people also watch high Rank streamers and pro players and those people can get tired off this game when the balancing is this shit.
Like not nerfing mantis who has a 60 percent winrate across all ranks just because in the hand off casuals is insane.
Now i dont know if they think they can get more money this way but İ think a lot more people enjoy the game more if it had good balancing.Making casual players competitive players that care about the game seems like it would make more money(im not sure about the money part but it would be better for the community)you cant do that when for competitive you balancing is shit. l know ı will get a lot of hate for this but ı really think this would be for the betterment off the game.
TLDR:we shouldnt forget about casuals but we should be balancing around pro play more
Edit:guys i used the space bar sorry for the inreadeble text at the original post
Edit2:since yall fried my ass so much ı edited a second time i hope this version is readeble sorry for the og text yall
People have been getting confused about what the devs have said about hero releases and which order and what roles they’ll have but I think this 1st image the best representation of what to expect next. (Credit:Dylboz YT)
I think based of rumours and leaks, our next batch of 3 hero’s (or villains) between September October November will be.
Nightcrawler - Duelist - September
Gorr the god butcher - Vanguard - October
Dazzler - Strategist - November (leaks by xox_leaks twitter, quite reliable)
Then to end the year before Avengers: Doomsday comes out, Doom as vanguard in early December to start the next batch of 3 hero’ till March
Firstly, this is based on the variants of the characters active in marvel rivals, however, I will draw from some comic sources to a logical degree because the lore of marvel rivals isn't detailed enough. And we all know comics are just so known for their consistent writing. I'm also a filthy casual so I don't know everything lol I did this in 5 mins. Also if the character has large influence, such as being a regent of a country like BP, Magik or a genius like Reed and tony, I will take that into account when ranking them. After all, it's an important aspect of their character.
cosmic - cosmic entities or characters that can affect reality. Adam warlock phoenix and wanda are pretty self explanatory. Adam was the living tribunal space jesus, phoenix is phoenix, and wanda can manipulate reality. Loki is the god of stories, which was mentioned in the voice line between him and whitefox. In the comics, when he became the god of stories he could manipulate reality, so I assume this goes for the game. And squirrel girl slimed thanos.
World breaking - People who can destroy the world (or worlds). Omega level mutants, Magic man, and the Asgardians. I'm quite hesitant to put thor, angela and hela below loki to be honest, I feel like as siblings of the same caliber, they should be in the same tier? Also, all of them would absolutely beat loki in single combat. But I don't think loki would put himself in the position to be beat by his siblings. Only loki was stated to be able to manipulate reality. I'm not very well versed in rival's venom, so maybe I should've move him lower. And ultron my goat has a wholeass galactic army. As for hulk, I'm not sure? which? hulk? is in rivals??? there are so many hulks but I'll put him here because I'm scared of hulk mains.
Country bangers - Be it because of power, influence, or just being a filthy t*lepath, these people could topple a country by themselves. I was honestly thinking of putting whitefox here because she like??? the director of korean shield?? But I don't know enough about it. Maybe you think I'm ranking starlord too high but idk this guy has a lot of feats under his belt (that I know of because I read the gotg comics)
For the streets - Although rivals DD gets his powers from a demon, I still think that he is street level. I mean these are self-explanatory, they don't have enough hard or soft power to join the tier above. And are usually lone wolf types. Hmm. maybe I should move whitefox up.
Regular guys - They kick, punch and shoot people.
???? tier - Their characters are a mesh between a regular guy and a cosmic god/ regular god. It's really the 'whatever the fuck my higher power is feeling like today' tier list. Moonknight has great feats in comics, but I genuinely can't tell if he's hallucinating half of them. The hood has gotten his ass beat by wolverine but also slimed out doctor strange IN THE SAME COMIC RUN. truely the king of consistent writing he is. And that 'consistency' is taken to the extreme in rivals when his arcane sugar daddy is oblivion of all eldritch entities. So I've come to accept that these people can go into most, if not all, of these categories depending on the day.
ONCE AGAIN IM JUST EYEBALLING THIS LIST HALF THE TIME. I would love to hear what you'd change and why!
Another queen ! I want more vanguard in the game and she hulk is definitely on my wish perfection list
characters like her are impossible to pass !
fantastic 4 skin is my dream (but the dev... you know)
The hulk accessorie
Interaction with johnny hulk sue reed ben
i can see everything !!!
And having her lowyer appearence of course I will do anything to have her in the game
Strategists across the board: healing to energy efficiency is decreased back down to 60%. Some strat players here are gonna hate that but it’s necessary for the long term health of this game
Cloak and dagger: cooldown of dagger storm is increased to 12 seconds and and the cooldown stars as soon as the duration of dagger storm ends
During Frozen Haven you can’t be healed, and if you’re on the payload during frozen haven, it won’t count as you actually being on it (like hulks transformation
Phoenix: Cosmic Flames base attack damage is decreased to 35, and can no longer apply sparks. Only headshots can, and it applies one spark. Spark expansion damage is increased to 60
Elsa Bloodstone: base attack no longer critical hits.
Max bonus health you can get from Helix advance is decreased to 55, and bonus health health you gain is decreased to 20
Blade: any enemy caught in your ultimate is slowed by 35%
Gambit: no longer has healing overtime during his ultimate.
Ultron: targeted healing to ally is increased to 50/s, and 40/s for allies within range, target distance increased to 35 meters
Rogue: Defensive Stances frontal damage reduction is increased to 80%
Wolverine: All of his health is regenerative health (Green health Bar)
Black Cat: She can be attacked during Phantom Pursuit. And max pounce target distance during calling card is decreased to 30m
MINOR DISCLAIMER: I run (and prefer) the Peni teamup in my games, even with the noticeable differences - It just fits my playstyle and I think it just pushes my healing even further but of course I have no qualms if someone disagrees or likes the iron man teamup. But because Peni gets banned alot, which is funny because people made her nerf a big deal, or at least blown out of proportion (it sucks but I feel like she's definitely good still personally?) - I more then often just use the base teamup and not the upgraded version.
Hey all (and fellow units lol) - I am an Ultron main and I more often then not out heal or simply able to be at the same level with my team's second healer.
But I noticed mainly in this season that barely anyone has been fighting me (could help that I am currently a lv 39, about to be 40 Ultron so maybe I am seen as more credible with the medal/border?) for a 3rd healer - only a few times I can count on my hands but it feels RARE in my comp games!
But at the same time, I rarely see anyone try to equip Ultron (but odd enough, one of the supp on the opposite team would equip him later in the round to try to diff me then get off of it when it isn't going in their favor)
I personally am one to think "3 healers does NOT equal push", I rather have 3 vanguard if anything personally.. ANYWAY lol - what are people's thoughts about Ultron?
I mean it's called Marvel Rivals? Where are the comic book costumes at? There are so many costumes from different universes that the developers could of actually put resources into making instead of giving it to Luna Snow and her friends. Also, why doesn't Storm get costumes when she is the MOST published female character in Marvel??? (Also, FREE BEAST, CAPTAIN MARVEL, AND ICE MAN)

Am I reading that right? They’re banned until July 26 2126??
