    Re: Marvel Rivals

    I was just about to post that I'm surprised that no one has talked about this game.

    Blatant Overwatch ripoff but with Marvel characters. People seem to really be enjoying it so far. It's free if you want to try it.

        I’m gonna try it out since it’s free. A lot of the homies are jumping on too.


        Never played Overwatch so it will be a whole new learning experience

            Jeff the Land Shark is the best Marvel character ever.

              Re: Marvel Rivals

              Finally started playing more than a token game here or there.

              This game is such a blatant Overwatch ripoff and I love it for it.

              Pretty steep learning curve with all the characters and the abilities. But I'm enjoying it.

              Only thing that I dislike is, just like Overwatch, everyone insta-locks DPS on every game. So my choices are join the crew or be the one guy who helps us try to win by picking a healer. This is how I ended up playing Lucio, Ana, Mercy for like 80% of my Overwatch life. I'm maybe a dozen games into Marvel Rivals and I have almost exclusively played Jeff, Luna Snow, Cloak and Dagger.

                Tell me about it. No one wants to play healer but I think it’s fun. Mantis is also very good but I main Luna. That ult is powerful when you need to capture.

                If we get two healers I’m probably for sure playing tank with venom or hulk.trying to learn Strange Magneto or Groot, that blocking they do is so valuable.

                  Re: Marvel Rivals

                  Yeah I never understand why people avoid healing like the plague. It is in general my favorite role in any class based game. I don't know I am actually any better at it or not, but I just find it more fun to make the strategic/tactical decisions required as a healer rather than pulling off a 360 no-scope snipe. I do wish that it wasn't so skewed though because it would be nice to play DPS sometimes without risking the team comp. In Overwatch my favorite hero was Ana. My second favorite was Tracer, but Tracer I never got really good with her because of how little I was able to select her.

                  They probably need to focus the next several hero releases on Vanguard and Strategist because there are as many duelist as there are those two roles combined. So, I do at least get it from that perspective (the lack of healers).

                    I love being the healer!

                    Jeff and Mantis are my main ones.

                    I do enjoy using Hela if someone else wants to be a healer.

                        The 21% picking Jeff, at least half of that is me

                        One thing that I do not like about this game at all are the seasonal buffs. It just seems like a lazy way to change the meta. It could also create some weird habits. Like maybe a combo that you expect to kill characters because you have a damage boost, and as soon as the season is over then you have to relearn the combo. Or how much your character can tank before he dies thanks to some kind of HP buff.

                        Also kind of funny that this is a true P2W game. You P2W by having a high end PC. Apparently the network reads something client side that is impacted by your FPS, and the more FPS you have then the more damage you can deal (more tech savvy people explain it far more eloquently)

                          Reason i switched to PS5 for this game. I'm a controller player and just couldn't hang with the pc ranked.

                          New season and its been pretty good, Reed and Sue have been nice additions.

                            Yeah I think the first patch was mostly a success. Big believer in not over-nerfing stuff, think you should try to buff certain characters first.
