what the hell went wrong with this game?

it was everyone's sweetheart at the start of the year. how did the devs manage to fuck it up this hard in less than a year??

game is shit

Nothing went wrong?

>>713162064 (OP)
Hero shooters are boring and shallow.

>>713162064 (OP)
weird opaque engagement-optimizing matchmaking made every round feel like the winner was pre-decided by stacking the deck/bots. even when you play well it makes it less rewarding imo, no real feeling of "return on investment" for players who like games with a high skill ceiling

>>713162064 (OP)

>>713162064 (OP)
>how did the devs manage to fuck it up this hard in less than a year??
Balanced like shit and the devs refuse to do anything to actually fix it beyond throwing more skins at it so they can bounce after announcing EOS.

>>713162064 (OP)
same shit with overwatch, everybody tried it noticed it's a braindead western gacha with gameplay as deep as a puddle and all quit.
If you want to play an actually competitive shooter you play Val or CS:GO and not these game made for 5 year olds.

It's somehow even more braindead than Overwatch, and that game was already turbo casual slop.

that's impossible, since both games are literally 1:1 the same trash, it would be like saying Burger King is more healthy than McDonald's kek.

>>713162064 (OP)
>what the hell went wrong with this game?
healers ruin literally every game they're in, both the class themselves and the people who play them cause the devs to design the game in a way that is actively unfun for everyone that isn't a healer main

>>713162498
>you play Val
lol no

>>713162576
The thing is here there's a lot more situations of the entire match forming a ball of players and other people just shooting at that ball.

>>713162064 (OP)
It's just slop. People are going back to Overwatch 2 because it's the better game.

>>713162064 (OP)
the devs can't balance the game for shit and no one wants to deal with it anymore

>flyers are overpowered
>dive characters like spiderman, black panther, and magik can still kill low HP heroes before they can feasibly react to be damaged

ANY shooter game that doesn't have sandbox elements or isn't built from the ground up with scripting and customization in mind is gonna die a horrible death within a couple of months of its release.

Epic knew this and took TF2's example of custom game modes and letting players make their own maps. Any FPS that relies solely on its shooting gameplay and competitive shit dies within 2 months. Zoomers want the TF2 era of gaming back, custom game modes, custom maps, custom skins, all that shit. This is why the biggest games on the market right now are sandbox games (roblox, minecraft, fortnite).

>>713162064 (OP)
It's casual trash made for chicks.
Unsurprisingly /v/ ate it up since people here have the same taste in games as an ethot.

I just alt+f4ed after this game. 90% of games are like this where you're queued in with literal retards and you're predestined to defeat before the game even starts.

>>713162649
both games are literally shoot down hallway with terrible balance, and the balance being terrible is deliberately so they can get people on one character and sell the most skin on that character.

Now that the dust has settled, can the faggots who spammed this shit all over /v/ apologize?

When your game has like 2 modes and 3 maps all lifeless and boring it will not survive

>>713162795
It's the same homos who spent years spamming about Overwatch too.

>>713162795
>can the faggots who spammed this shit all over /v/ apologize?
>can the paid marketer apolozie

>>713162064 (OP)
Anyone expecting Chinese devs to be able to maintain a competitive multiplayer game was delusional. They don't understand game design and only know how to copy shit. And hero shooters are hard to balance to begin with.
I also never got the hype behind this game. Everything I have seen of it is a huge mass of players shooting into another huge mass of players. Which is exactly what people hated overwatch for. At least overwatch had a honeymoon period and devolved into that.arvel rivals was that way from the get go.

would rather play modern day cod slop

>>713162498
>you play Val

>>713162595
This is only the case in MMOshit and 6v6 slop. Medics were completely fine in BF series, Planetside, Dirty Bomb, TF, RtCW, ETQW etc... not the fault of the class if modern devs forgot how to design fun PvP FPS.

>>713162064 (OP)
What's wrong
44k players is pretty good

>>713162993
maybe before you remember that it's free to play and the majority of those players aren't spending a dime on it

>>713163058
You are grossly underestimating the power of whales and how easily they part with money for cosmetics.
They can and will (and are currently) spend 20 bucks for skins every season and then some.

>>713162852
I think you might just be mentally impaired and unable to discern what is occurring on the screen

>>713162595
>>713162937
The problem is that braindead devs make them healsluts only, so they have to make the healing OP to compensate. In TF2 a medic can easily get kills, and he's expected to if there's a spy around. In DotA there's heroes with healing abilities that aren't even supports.

A game people play for the visuals alone will always become boring.

>>713162064 (OP)
Turns out nobody was actually sick of overwatch specifically. We were sick of hero shooters in general. Marvel rivals is still a great hero shooter, but a good piece of shit is still shit.

>>713162064 (OP)
They encouraged a metagame of flyers.

>>713163260
People played Marvel Rivals for visuals? What makes you say that?

>>713162064 (OP)
>Every loss is a stomp that is frustrating
>Every win is a stomp that is unsatisfying
EOMM fucking sucks.

>>713162349
the numbers are only so because there's nothing else to play unironically.

>>713163230
Overwatch went the other way and made healers do more dmg than dps heroes.
And gave them tools to be best duelists in the game.

>>713163213
Yeah sure. Tell yourself that. Anyone with eyes can see otherwise.

>>713163394
Do you really think people would be playing this shit if the game had characters from Concord instead?

>>713162756
yeah. im sorry but anyone who says EOMM isn't real in this game is a flying faggot. i've had more games than i can count where we roll the enemy team so bad they surrender after round 1 and have had the opposite happen two matches later. there's no other explanation for matchmaking this horrible. it cannot be random chance i either get a team full of killers who know how to play the game perfectly or my team are literal lobotomized chimps who act like they're touching the game for the first time.

>>713163594
Yes, even pro players have a 50%-win rate or close. It's pretty obvious the game is set up to make sure your win rate isn't too high and is close to 50%.

>everyone's sweetheart
if by everyone you mean loud obnoxious marvel fags who drowned out the vocal people warning you about this games obvious glaring problems from the start, sure
now e33s is gamings current darling since it appeals bigly to the balding reddit millennial who thinks games peaked at ff7 more than a decade ago

>>713163848
What glaring problems from the start?

>>713163591
>Do you really think people would be playing this shit if the game had characters from Concord instead?
Yea, if Sony hired and paid all these influencers like Rivals did, Concord would not have failed. You're a spastic retard if you think concord has worse gameplay than Rivals. 100% both of these games play the same, both are dogshit hero shooters. The only difference is that the Netease paid every single influencer to shill their trash game, and Sony didn't do that.

>>713163848
What are the differences between marvel fags and balding reddit millennials?

>>713164039
there is none

>>713164009
We all know they didn't play the same.
Marvel brand has a ton of pull if they stay true to the original designs

>>713163501
And anyone with a functioning brain actually knows how the game works

>We all know they didn't play the same.
Did you play Concord? How do you know?
>Marvel brand has a ton of pull if they stay true to the original designs
Yea, they can sell you more skin. Amazing.

Told people from the start this shit was going to die because it is just a dogshit third person version of Overwatch but it has none of the good qualities like optimization and game feel.

>>713162852
Rivals is much clearer to look at than overwatch. Tho OW is better in that department now, its too late.

>>713162064 (OP)
>anon discovers chink artificial pump and dump vidya marketing

It's still more popular than overwatch which is quite an achievement

>>713164420
>it's an achievement to better than the developer who metoo all the good people who made that company big

>>713164280
Yes. I actually tried it during "beta".
It was slower and had more emphasis on shooting.
MR barely rewards good aim and is more like OW in that regard (Some heroes just play themselves).

If anything, Concord was like one of those 2010 f2p shooters, but with lame abilities.

>>713162498
>valorant
Your mother is a nigger.

>>713164553
The movement in Concord made it extremely easy to aim. Felt like everyone was stuck in a thick sludge compared to OW.

>>713164491
It was hilarious watching all those youtube slopper channels try so hard to shill this game and now they don't want to admit they were wrong and are playing Valorant or now just playing overwatch 2 and pretending they never knew what rivals was.

>>713162064 (OP)
>100k peak every day
?
>>713164491
Why does no one ever answer why Overtrash has 20m qs?

Second week playing it and so far there's been only one real fun quick match where the winner was not obvious from the very start. Everything else is slaughter one way or the other.

Whatever they are doing with the lobbies it's too fine tuned and robotic.

>>713164491
it was inevitable, netease is one of the worst publishers out there

>>713164665
Felt pretty destiny/halo to me so yeah.
It's actually incredible how they basically took the lamest abilities from overwatch and made them even less effective.
Like winstons leap, but now its just 2 meter distance with barely any upwards movement.

Reminder that Overwatch has 300k+ active players daily, most are on the blizzard launcher

>>713164678
notice how those sloppers are all americans? koreans and chinese don't even play this game hence why overwatch 2 in korea is the 3 or 4th most played multiplayer game while in china its around the 6th. rivals? it doesn't even chart in either place, its mostly americans.

>>713164809
I dont I've ever played a netease game.
Whats their worst fuckup?

worst of all the things you listed. EOMM is cancer

and retards will gaslit you about eomm not being real

i used to play comp (which is another story) but the matchmaking was so god-awful now i just play quickplay with my console irl friend every night for 4-5 games and relax. the matches are still uneven EOMM garbage but at least it's something we can joke about together.

devs have absolutely no idea how to balance their game, which is why they are releasing balance patches halfway through a half season lol. if they fixed the matchmaking i think more people would play but everyone else i know (both online and irl) just got fed-up with it and went onto something else. the game will die if they don't do it, but considering they havent acknowledged it, i doubt they ever will.

Plenty of info if you use a search engine.

Simply put they throw bots larping as real players at you to mend your fee fees before feeding you to the wolves aka higher skilled players. Result is one way wins (vs bots) or losses (vs players) with the occasional match that is not a total turd once in a blue moon.

Some falloff is natural and the CCU's are still very high
The main drop recently is because season 2.5's meta sucks. Fliers and Poke are overpowered and without adequate counters to the point that more than half the roster is suddenly useless.

>one trick solo queue stompers refuse to play the game

Everyone is always so doomer pilled or just so vehemently against something that people like. The game is literally doing fine. Games always have a decrease in players sometime after release it's completely on trend for every game ever made. This game also still undoubtedly has more of a player base then overwatch. It's funny but people only like to reference steam charts while the game is huge on console. But... but ....it's only 100k concurrent on Steam yeah? And? It's still one of the top played games on steam because that's a perfectly fine number to be at. That doesn't account for other platforms nor does it actually account for all active players on steam just those on at the same time.

Also since people love steam charts so much go look at Apex Legends and the trends it had. It had 2 seperate occasions where it's been below 100k for 3 months in a row and came back. Marvel will more than likely have the same path with the added bonus of the monthly characters hyping the game, any successful movie or TV show, and any other sister games all reigniting appeal for the game.

literally the worst type of players in these trash game they also take next to no skill compared to hitscan or projectile based characters.

Remember when /v/ claimed Rivals would be the most successful hero shooter in existence and would set a paradigm which everyone would follow?

Lol
The playerbase just normalized after the initial hype, that's normal.

>>713177571
Poor Netease employee, you failed.

>>713177498
It's literal only other competitor is Overwatch. Unlike the 50 other hero shooters that have come out it has maintained a player base longer than a month

>>713177498
Those were the totally "genuine" and not paid chink shills. They always try to push their garbage.

>>713177615
I'd love to be paid to shill for the game but unfortunately I don't. It's okay, you can join another 2 more weeks circle jerk thread in the vain hope the game dies. While you hate stroke yourself to Rockets feet. Crazy these threads have been going on since December.

Did you mistake it with Concord? Anyone expected it to be just another gacha shovelware, not this.

I like Jeff. I think he's fun to play and his comics are cute.

>>713162064 (OP)
Honestly the gameplay was okay-ish but I hate relying on other people to stay alive. I'd enjoy something like this more if it was PvE like a singleplayer game.

it's kinda funny that Nightreign, a b project with 10 people working on it, has more players now. Goes to show that quality over quantity and japanese developers are 100 better than everybody else.

>>713179264
the random part doesn't matter.

>>713179159
I know what a gacha is, but I don't recall Rivals having loot boxes. Unless they added it in a recent patch or something.

>>713162064 (OP)
The game initially gained traction by leveraging a well-established IP, but players eventually grew tired of the lack of meaningful gameplay and the rigged EOMM system that defeats the game's purpose. Look, EOMM isn’t inherently bad but it needs to follow the 40-40-20 rule. That’s not the case here; instead, it’s 50% of the time your team steamrolls, and 50% of the time you get stomped. This imbalance discourages any real investment in learning or mastering the game.

>>713162064 (OP)
Novelty worn out, I'd assume
I tried it with some friends. It was alright, but I didn't see myself commiting for years on end.
If they want longevity, they need to pump out updates FAST. More modes to fuck around, way more costumes/accessories that you can equip (and earn via random drops if you want to resort to lootboxes and gamba) and many more things that can keep players coming back. People need to have different reasons for playing these kinds of games. Doing the same match in ranked over and over will kill everyone's interest

>>713178850

Anon, it's been out for over half a year. It's passed the point of being a FOTM game.

It’s just overwatch but even shittier. And that’s impressive because overwatch was always unplayable garbage with monkey teammates

panko manko

These games are good when they're new. A fuckton of players keep a healthy playerbase and nobody knew how anything work so all matches were very fun
Once normies start leaving and people start figuring out the meta, matches become so one sided that things start snowballing until only a core userbase remains; usually miserable as fuck and completely dependant on how fast devs can balance the game and release content

>>713174821
Correct but you can't mention that because overwatch did it and overwatch is le bad, so you'll be cursed with 4 instalock dps every match until the game dies before the end of the year.

>>713163750
I’ve got to wonder just who are these people that they put me with now in online games? Like they can’t be real people because people weren’t nearly these bad even 20 years ago. So for the forced 50% win rate it’s like they put non English speakers on your team who have never picked up a game in their life
It just doesn’t seem real because nobody in real life talks about video games
It’s all fake.

>>713179471
>EOMM isn’t inherently bad
Yes it is, retard. If you need to artificially rig your game to psychologically manipulate your playerbase into playing longer it's because your game is fucking shit.

>my man ultron gets added
>his kit is 10/10 exactly what I wanted
Well good to know every game I'm in will have at least one support.

"hero shooters" are just bad. that's it.

>>713179734
it's not hard to put a "retarded throw player" flag on someone who consistently performs like fucking trash and put them on your team to sabotage your WR

>>713164491
I tried this game like two months ago. First game I went arrow dude and went like 15-2, next game my teammates literally start running in random directions and not attacking the same targets and I uninstalled
For a game where the TTK.is .2 seconds I’m not going to have teammates who don’t focus fire.

>>713179734
I've heard people say that they put actual bots on certain teams. Also, Marvel Rivals does a horrible job of teaching people how to actually play so a lot of people just hop into a game with little knowledge. The visual clarity of the game doesn't help because sometimes when there's a lot of shit on the screen it's difficult to tell what the fuck is even going on.

>>713179735
It's needed to ensure that shitters maintain a win rate above 40% so they stay engaged and keep playing your game.

>>713162064 (OP)
People were insanely toxic even in the lowest ranks(usually brown)

>>713162064 (OP)
Any multiplayer game without dedicated servers for the community, a map editor for the enthusiasts and mod support for the deranged is going to die really quickly. At best the community loses interest, at worst the devs burn out and start actively spiting the community.

>>Insane gap of skill requirement to play as some heroes vs playing against them

What? Are you talking about characters like Punisher being easy to pick up but giving you great reward?

>>713180623
Killing enemy as a flyer is way easier than killing a flyer.
Killing as a dive is way easier than killing a diver.
Also, no counter dive outside of Namor, which is useless if there are more than one diver.
And I'm not even a good player, yet every time I played as a diver, we won. I had like 80% winrate as bp and spidey. Only lost to premades or extremely aware players. I mean I even dived as a punisher, it works on every hero capable of diving.

Steam charts need to be banned from the internet.

I stopped playing because it's summer and my work gets very busy during summer.

>>713181168
Scarlet and Fantastic are okay against dive. Between Scarlet's fade/autolock attack and stun ball and Mr.F's large health pool, couple seconds of invincibility, and extendo arms for sweeping around to hit people/his yank having a slow effect, they certainly fair better than most.

>>713182615
>okay
That's not counterpick. Namor with hulk turret is a straight counter for solo spidey for example. You need to swap out of spidey, that's counterpick.
>Scarlet
I've never been killed by one as a bp. I can't even fathom how it's possible.

Peak is going down but base player count is staying the same. This shows that people that were playing it because it was a trendy new thing, or because it was a marvel ip, are not playing anymore. Player count will stabilize once peak player count reaches around 50k players, with the ocassional bump when new characters or maps are released.

>>713184267
If you're talking about qp, literally get good. Not only do I rarely get stomp matches, but I don't get bot matches either anymore.

>>713188318
>Peak is going down but base player count is staying the same
the chart shows both the peak and valleys are going lower

>>713188758
Base player count dipped down a little during mid June but went back up again, if you look more closely.

>>713162064 (OP)
This style of game is always doomed to fail. Normalfags just want to play their favorites, compfags are autistic screechers who report you for not playing the exact role/counter that the meta calls for, and absolutely no one wants to play support because it's fucking boring. The entire life of the game is pure chaos because the fundamental building blocks of the game causes conflict and friction because some roles are objectively less fun to play, whether you're a turbo casual or sweaty tryhard.

And because the game wants to be an e-sport, all the shitty qualities are amplified over time and nothing is ever fixed, because the game being uneven and bad is the baseline of its entire existence, and the remaining playerbase gets more and more angry.

>>713162120
Game is not shit. It just become more and more obnoxious the more you play.

It's a fun game, but unfortunately like most modern MP games, the aids riddled, retard tier IQ, 'gamer' community ruins it.

Watching some third worlder lock Spiderman on day 1 and go 0-10 was funny and amusing.
Watching some third worlder lock Spiderman four months after launch, and go 0-10 in your Ranked game, refusing to switch makes you want to uninstall. Repeat that every other match and you wonder why the fuck you're playing at all.

FOTM game whose month ran out

>>713191820
No, these games usually cultivate a small fanbase of mentally ill retards such as yourself who invest the servers, long after everyone else has moved on. Have fun!

For me, it's the engagement system. Call me dog shit, call me bad, call me crazy, I don't care. But this games matchmaking is designed to keep people playing, but I am a boomer so their system does the opposite for me. I don't mind losing a game, I don't mind being beaten by someone out skilling me. But the game soft cheats. The other day I had a Wanda queue her ult up a good 10ft away from me, as Dr Strange. Team is all behind me, I turn and run away from her for about a second and a half, turn around and put my shield up to make sure her ult is blocked in case my team doesn't pepper and kill her in time. They don't, so my plan to protect my entire team is a good one. Except despite me running away, and then putting my shield up and walking backwards, she was somehow able to close the 10ft gap and float PAST MY SHIELD to get a 5 man wipe. Im out of a Psylocke ult by like a country mile, she still hits me with her ult for the last hit kill. How am I in GM1, but I have someone on my team that says he is a spiderman 1 trick who goes 3 and 14 with less dmg than everyone else in the game. Check his match history and he regularly goes negative. How is he in GM1?

Something is fuckey. I started a new rule for myself, two games. If I play two games back to back and they're both losses where my team gets absolutely run over, I quit for the day. If it happens the next day, I quit for two days. I'm not great at the game, GM isn't some insane level of elite gamers. But I expect GM games to at least have a pretty fair spread of players.

Then all of them decided they wanted to run comp, didn't want to run with anyone else from the group
Sorry but that just kills the fun. This game sucks if you are sweating all I read is how miserable people playing ranked are. Uninstalled and never looked back, not that anyone was inviting others to play. I'm still baffled when I found out some of them still touch it.

>>713195503
because every single game with a matchmaking system lies about it being "ranked" "competitive" and my favorite """"""skilll based"""""" matchmaking. it's engagement based. it throws you tilting games on purpose, it will throw you a useless team on purpose to force you to lose, it'll stealth buff the enemy team to force a loss if it has to.

every single game with "matchmaking" does it. yes even the one you like. they all do it and lie about it. no more matchmaking cancer, i will only play shooters and competitive games with community servers.

>>713162665
I never understood that shit, how is an account just not shot onsight if its smurfing? Especially in f2p games you can just endlessly make accounts and stomp shitters

games fell off, it's normal. There is too much choice nowadays for a single game to rule above all, especially a new one. We will never see again long lasting numbers like dota, cs, etc.

Playing CS is for russians and asians what sacrificing children to moloch is for americans.

everyone whining about eomm is hot dogshit at the game, i didnt play the game for 2 months so i dropped to gold, where i am hilariously shitstomping every single lobby all the way upto diamond 1, and will continue to shitstomp every lobby until i get back to celestial. i still lose roughly 20% of my games, because its impossible to carry every game, but a 70-80% winrate completely disproves the idea that the matchmaker is somehow singling an individual out and forcing them to 'lose' games.

Most healing in dota is done with items, not heroes. The heroes that have heals are hardly ever picked.

If it didn't have Marvel characters it would have had no players at any point.

invisible woman can be played like a frontline tank if you know what you are doing

really most of the criticism for the game I see on /v/ really comes down to people being bad at the game.

The current flyer meta and the Thor changes proved the devs have no fucking clue how to balance their game.

Big fucking deal. Game kind of sucks but it's far from dead, finding matches takes no time at all and is much faster than it takes in Overwatch. But I might be wrong about that, haven't played OW in months.

Steam charts turned "people" into mindbroken trannies trying to do stock analysis when this shit is still one of the most played games. Next on the agenda is shitposting about nightreign or stellar blade or something in two months. They don't actually care about the game itself but the shitpost, which is why they don't simp for the massive playercount of CS

I would fix it by nerfing all heals, buffing healers damage, nerfing tank health slightly, rework EVERY support ult except Luna Snow (because her ult makes sense for her) and Loki; make the new healers ults be more offensive and utility based.

These changes would make ANY comp work and that would be fun and you CAN'T argue against this fact, it's just objectively true. Meta slaving 2-2-2 or 1-2-3 would just be another comp you could run, you would face 5 damage 1 healer one game, 4 tanks, 2 healers another etc and they would all work to some extent. It would break the meta opening up a plethora of new innovation AND break up the healer ult buildup fest AND make solo carrying easier but still have the teamplay factor be relevant.

>>713162064 (OP)
Can a pvp game thrive without a solid esports scene? Overwatch failed to do that and Rivals does nothing to change the formula
