>>717639948 (OP)
Is there a skin that makes him white?

>game keeps shitting out 'mini' battle passes that cost as much or 2/3rds of an actual pass
Must suck to be a paypig for this game.

The heck is this?

>>717642096
Yes there's an entire character that turns him white

>>717639948 (OP)
I can't believe Rivals Blade actually gets to say his famous meme line (although censored), why Magneto can't say "WELCOME TO DIE!" then?

>>717643214
>Magik's solo series sold well
>Suddenly cancelled
>New rumors it's getting relaunched where she becomes the new Sorcerer Supreme
Huh, did Rivals do this?

>>717643261
Can references movies, not games.

>>717643316
Yes, Rivals ruined Strange ingame and they also ruined him in the comics. But seriously, do you think she'll use her new position to help her country destroy the Ukraine?

>>717639948 (OP)
oxymoron

>>717639948 (OP)
When is Hela getting another new skin? The Knull skin was lacking despite making her tits fatter

Does he say open season on all suckheads

>>717643316
Rivals is getting people into these characters again. Meaning the execs are all jumping at the bit for some easy money.
Too bad the new/old fans are going to be disappointed once they actually look at other media and are reminded why they stopped caring.

Expect some new Squirrel Girl stuff soon. That is if they will actually commit to drawing her attractive which is the only reason why people now know who she is.

>gets tons of skins
>but no one wants to play her
>worries about sniper OHKOs look dumb when Hawk is allowed to exist like that
Flaming tits tho

>>717643632
>That is if they will actually commit to drawing her attractive
Not happening. They'll get that one tumblr-artist against.

desu I'm glad I dont have to shell out 2200 blue for the new Hela sexo skin. I just used the gold I got from the BP and all is well.

Huge missed opportunity to have him wearing green with blonde hair since his sword looks like the master sword

>>717643509
I heard a quip like this once, centuries ago...

>>717643794
Her kit is so fucking ass, man. She needs a sidearm or something. Her little Nightwing shock batons aren't it. Or better yet, just put Silver Sable in the game and make her Widow but fun.

>>717643860
Just give me Gurihiru, dammit.

So what is the dev's balancing approach to this game? Blizzard's approach with Overwatch was "leave one thing broken, then nerfbat it to hell while making something else dumb for an update".

>>717648094
>Healer ults are annoying and stall the game? Nerf tanks.

>forced to play Jeff with the dumbest QP team possible
>against three healer stack, one of them is a Loki who Luna ults every time without fail
>mixed in with Blade's retarded anti-heal bs and a Hulk constantly diving me
I knew matchmaking was rigged, but this is some autistic-ass shit. It's like punching a wall

>>717639948 (OP)
For some reason I suddenly want a fruit rollup.

>>717648394
I really wish every healer ult was either damage based (Ultron) or a non-healing buff (dmg up, or less damage taken, etc)

>guy plays Blade
>low HP
>cries for heals
>won't turn off his E ability for it

>>717648795
A few days back I got a game where I was Sue, constantly getting dived, and our entire team was being spawncamped to hell and back and I used my ult to save five people, died, then we immediately got spawncamped again and a guy asked me why the loss wasn't on me because I didn't put the point into overtime while spawncamped.

Then a few matches later it was at Arakko where their entire team was solely dives and a BP managed to spawncamp both of us healers for half the match. Literally just instant death as soon as you left spawn no matter how you tried leaving. Not a single person did anything about it and just complained we immediately got rolled.

I was also given this lovely streak a few weeks ago which was just great. Really fun to play.

Is this game good again? I quit when they started nerfing tanks in s2

>>717648094
Overwatch had years of refinement to certain characters and the gameplay. So even the meaningless and dumb patches don't compare to how bad this is. Chink devs are making every rank useless for some reason.

>>717651110
Reduced doesn't mean none, retard

>>717652357
It's reduced enough that you're good as dead in the middle of combat.

>>717648094
Throw things at a wall and only fix the most complained about things. Also don't fix anything until seasonal changes meaning that if some tactic appears that's extremely frustrating or negative for the playerbase it won't be fixed until a minimum of a month later unless it's literally killswitch-level.

Healers have extremely long ults so rather than address the ults massively stalling everything just nerf how long it takes to get the ult so people still stall the game it just takes a bit longer. This doesn't stop Loki from just stealing said ult and doubling the time the opposing team can't do anything.
Jeff and Thing were both released with what felt like an unfinished kit and took until 2.5 and 3.0 respectively to finally get kits that make sense.
Bucky has been consistently ridiculous since launch but he's been either untouched or outright buffed at times.
Wolverine in season 3 gained a team up with Jean that made him functionally invulnerable
Spidey can singlehandedly stop entire teams from winning if the player understands how to play him yet never really gets nerfed leading to instabans constantly on comp and on QP you just pray the Lord Spidey you see if having an off day or you're not doing anything.
Venom and Thor have consistently been fairly lackluster tanks yet the former hasn't really had any changes and the latter keeps getting weird reworks that typically make him worse.
Storm and Namor released more or less unplayable and took until 1.0 and whenever Namor got the Hulk teamup to become decent. Now Namor is solid even without the team up due to the speed up on the trident but it took ages to get to this point.
2.0 was dominated by the triple healer meta leading to dives so they spent 2.5 nerfing dives hard.
2.5 was dominated by multiple fliers thanks to Ultron leading to extremely cancerous games where 75% of the team couldn't do anything to kill these bugs in the sky while they chipped away at you from miles away.

>>717652468
>Bucky has been consistently ridiculous since launch but he's been either untouched or outright buffed at times.
He absolutely needs a damage fall-off added, and perhaps a knockback on his upwards punch so you can't as easily combo it, as well as more time to build ult. A competent player with good aim is ridiculous with him.

>>717648795
Are you implying that the matchmaking system rigged the other team to play that comp?

>>717643083
>can't afford to do the equivalent of paying a few bucks every week
Must suck to be a poorfag playing this game.

>>717655520
I put my money into games that won't eventually shut down.

>>717655598
Not if SKG actually passes.

>>717655695
>games just start putting a "this requires access to a server that may shut down" disclaimer on the box and nothing changes

>>717655598
The game has custom server mode though, so the official servers will shut down eventually, but people will still be able to play the game.

>>717655879
Custom server mode still runs through the game's servers and friend list system. Not to mention you need the connect to their servers to authenticate your account before you can do anything.

I dont get all the whining over BP, I like him because sustain healing team fights are cancer so being able to burst someone down in seconds is needed
Hes also really easy to counter like single key press abilities can just invalidate him so it just seems like skill issue

>>717656354
People whine over BP because their team's offense is garbage at protecting their backline, and a good BP can delete healers quick.

I dont mind the mini battle passes. They are like 8 bucks for 2-3 costumes that otherwise costs 20 dollars a pop.

>>717639948 (OP)
>"evil" Master Sword
>red hair
Are these Ganondorf references on purpose?

>>717656354
>Hes also really easy to counter like single key press abilities can just invalidate him so it just seems like skill issue
Even if he doesn't instantly explode you with no chance to react, he can just bait out the "one keypress counter", fuck off for a few seconds and then explode you.

>>717645182
Widowmaker in Overwatch has an SMG when shes not ADSing so just do that when shooting without aiming down. Replace her mega jump/sprint with a grappling hook

>>717648394
They really need to rework all these healer ults. You're actually throwing as a support if you're not picking Luna and Loki

>>717656419
So you expect a tank getting butt fucked by 5 players in front of him to turn around because 2 of you can't CC or heal each other when a BP shows up? K.

>>717656354
>I dont get all the whining over BP
Try being on the opposing end. He comes out of nowhere from the sky and you go from full health to instantly dead before your brain even recognizes what's going on. If you didn't instantly die you have 10 HP at which point you die anyway because he's already near you to melee you for that final hit. When the opposing team has a BP who knows what he's doing the healers are on permanent respawn timers.

>>717643794
It's extremely retarded that Widow isn't allowed to OHKO when Hawkeyes ult literally lets him machine gun fire his arrows at full charge and people don't have a issue with this because no one plays hawkeye and it doesnt tell you that fact in the ult description

>>717658192
Not to mention Hawkeye's projectiles still have log-sized hitboxes, vs. Widow requiring actual aim.

>>717658192
>>717658274
You guys do realise the other one is a hitscan hero when the other one is a projectile one?

How yall feel about Blade then?
I think healing is ruinoisly overtuned in this game so his Shotgun Dash is making me hopeful that Nati-Healing is going to become more present in new or reworked kits.

>>717651531
>Keeps playing when losing
Youre in the Engagement Que bud. Youre getting paired against the tryhards who quit when they lose in order to keep you both playing longer.

>>717658845
Hawkeye's arrows are fast enough that it doesn't matter with how fat the hitbox is. It'd be like if Widow's crosshair was a round circle instead of a pixel, and anything within the circle counts for a hit confirm.

>>717658845
Okay, but Hawkeye has auto-aim.

>>717652468
>Namor got the Hulk teamup to become decent
retard

>>717659456
His spawns were slow, his attacks were slow, if he whiffed the M2 at all it's basically gg, he had low health, and he only had two spawns. Now he's got the trident, the Hulk team up, and I believe they lowered the cooldown on the spawns by a bit on top of increasing the ult circle and damage values.

>>717656354
People say hes not fun to fight agianst and its like NO character in this game is fun to fight agianst let alone when played optimally
Its Supports bitching about Diver of the week like Ironfist, Psylocke, Spider-man now Panthers turn then Magik. Its also Tankfags not peeling for the backline because they think they are just supposed to live in the frontline forever
They also still ban and cry about Wolverine despite the Tanks that counter him all being meta

I swear only DPSfags understand counterplay, nobody is asking for Things slam to be removed so it would be easier to dive or some shit like that. People did want Luna and Loki nerfed to not stall the game for an hour for everyone but cant even get that instead they get buffed for more 3 support stall cancer which might as well be a counter for actually playing the game

>>717660034
>Its also Tankfags not peeling for the backline because they think they are just supposed to live in the frontline forever
This is why I prefer two tanks. One to hold the front, the other to peel for backline. Instead I keep getting 1tank 4dps 1heal in matches, and I'm the one suffering on heal since the other team knows to focus me first.

>>717660034
The only people that can actually peel and take care of a decent Panther are Mr Fantastic and The Thing. He can just dash away and then come back with relative ease, and trying to hit him while he is zipping back and forth is silly.

>>717660158
I don't have too much of an issue dealing with him as Venom, assuming my cooldown for slowing him is up.

>>717660034
>its like NO character in this game is fun to fight agianst let alone when played optimally
The Thing, Thor, Magneto, Doctor Strange, Peni, Mister Fantastic, Hela, Punisher, Scarlet Witch, Storm, Invisible Woman, Loki, Rocket, Mantis
They might be varying degrees of good but they're all pretty honest and don't rely on complete bullshit that just prevents you from playing the game. Yeah, including Loki. Fighting against a professional troll is why he's fun because his trolling is designed amusingly. I don't often see people seething about how bullshit these characters are to play against unless they specifically get countered by them (i.e. Iron Man hating on Hela or whatever). They're legitimately fun to fight because shooting the Thing's meaty head is fun.
I'd include a few more but I think their players are faggots or their gameplay is kind of annoying (i.e. C&D being for homos and Captain America's gameplan revolving around being BP but fat).

>kill Luna snow
>some people always trying to ice skate uphill

>>717651667
Being a tank is even more miserable in s3. Wolverine got buffed, Blade can apply antiheal, and there's flyers everywhere and half the vanguard roster can't do shit about them.

>queue times for quitting now defaults to 15, only takes two more to get hit with 30 min ban
>but if you don’t leave your loser ticker goes up and you’re likely to get a pity bot match wasting 5-10
Clown ass game

>>717655912
The devs can (and very likely will) patch the game when that happens to allow people to play on custom servers without needing to do anything else. And if even if they don't there's nothing stopping someone from reverse engineering and modifying the game to allow that. Also no the customer servers don't rely on the friend list system.

>>717639948 (OP)
I understand this reference

>>717647734
This

Luna and Mantis should have a movement speed penalty during their ults. So I would dunk on them reliably with Meteor M, like on C&D.

>quit comp as I'm obviously in losers' queue
>get matched against an autistic smurfing QP celestial who goes 47-0 as Psylocke
The game is getting retarded now

>>717656354
It's Hawkeye S0 again. Rivalbabies lack object permanence and ask "WOOOOOOW, how was I supposed to react to dying instantly?" when the real answer is "You already died to him, you know he's there, make an adjustment and make your move before he does." With BP it's also very matchup based. He wins for free against certain characters and just is not allowed to play against others. Somehow though after 9 months of this game and years of hero shooters in general, people have not become comfortable with the idea of swapping and insist on one-tricking in a game with a ban system that could get you at any time.

>>717658904
Blade can only really thrive on an aggressive team. They don't need to be great players, they don't need to be some specific rush-down brawl comp, but the team needs to be thirsty and willing to make plays. Within that context, he's great and his debuffs are useful and he can do big numbers. Unfortunately, this is Marvel Rivals and the playerbase at large is extremely risk averse and much more concerned with losing more slowly or less severely than actually winning

>>717659520
namor has always been good

Obviously, new Hela skin is behind paywall. I hate this

>>717666359
Her best skin was in Season 0 anyway.

>>717666249
>Unfortunately, this is Marvel Rivals and the playerbase at large is extremely risk averse
Have we been playing the same game? Because I keep seeing retarded DPS diving into the entire enemy team and then typing "HEALS???" in chat.
This is why you have butthurt BP one trick ponies in these threads complaining about bans. DPS retards EXPECT to be able to make plays by themselves. If anything, this playerbase is TOO eager to dive.

>new character comes out
>60k players
this game truly is dead, isn't it

>>717666506
I feel like buying a lottery ticket when my tanks are willing to move up to point. Literally this morning on a convoy defense I had a Mag at full health, definitely had bubble ready, and I was spamming extra heals at him as Luna even though he wasn't actively taking damage just to give him the confidence that he wasn't going to get abandoned, and he was still backpedaling off a cart we had reversing and making 0 effort to stop cart as the enemy walked up. This is a Diamond/GM lobby BTW.

>>717665653
I’m still in shock this game even happened, one fucking faggot literally solos our team and I get some cocksucker in chat trying to blame me for going negative

Speaking of Psylocke. Supposedly they nerfed her ult a little, so it shouldn't target people outside of her LoS. But I hate how inconsistent the LoS mechanic in this game.
For example, Magneto's wall shield works against Scarlet Witch's ult just fine. It can also protect from Namor's ult, oddly enough, which comes down from the air, but only if you shield your feet. If there's a gap between the shield and the floor it will hit you. But Pyslocke's ult doesn't care either way.

>>717666941
Zoomies/Alpha don't know who Blade is and think he's a DEI inclusion.

>>717668887
>think he's a DEI inclusion.
he is. it's not like jews started it 5 years ago

>>717661256
>kills enemy Blade as Blade
>there's only one Blade
tfw I expected both of these references to be used in-game when I haver never even played the game

>>717666941
Let's ignore console players, yeah.

So how do you play Blade and not get your shit kicked in? So far it feels like you want to pick 1v1s, hit E, run in with gun, then just spam sword all day.

>>717670341
I don't know. Everyone instalocks him.

>>717643214
That's my wife.

>>717643316
What? it got canceled already?

>>717671912
And more than 80% suck fucking balls as him (go hit up practice range or vs CPU ffs), while the remaining 20% seem to destroy (people still learning to deal with facing him)

>>717670341
It's all about dash management and it's gonna look different against different characters. The basic flowchart to try as you learn the matchup and get comfortable is
>Poke from midrange while your dash cools down
>When you have 2 dash, apply heal debuff
>Block the incoming panic flail the enemy will likely do
>If the fight feels winnable, vampire dash at them for the instant 5 meter
>If it seems risky, turn around and dash out
>Repeat

>>717643178
i saw that yesterday for the first time ever as well, what the fuck? are servers shitting themselves

>peni and wanda are getting new skins in a few weeks
>neither of them are swimsuits

>>717672272
Yeah peni robot would look so sexy in a sling bikini

>>717645182
>culture peaked in the 90s
I knew it.

>>717643461
>Rivals ruined Strange ingame
All NetEase have to do are to add his wife Clea Strange into the roster as a Strategist, add them into the Valentine roster, and give them a permanent teamup that lets Clea make Citadel of Cyriont which is a shield bubble similar to the bubble Magneto does except that it causes a stagger to any nearby enemy once it's destroyed, both from a 1.5s duration or activation or an enemy tampering.

Blade shouldn't start shouting when charging the ult.
It should also be allowed to cancel like MK's ult.

>>717672272
Scarlet's robe is transparent at least

>>717645182
Comics ruled in the 90s and I don't care what any nigger, faggot, or tranny has to say about it.

>>717661256
It better actually be in the game.

>>717651667
That's also exactly when and why I quit and it's nice to see there's still no reason for me to come back.

>>717672904
>his wife Clea Strange
I stopped reading comics a while ago, when tf did this happen?

>>717639948 (OP)
Bump

Sentry status?

>>717676569
SoonTM

>>717666359
also, FOMO

>>717676569
Nice bulge, who is she?

So are you supposed to use Blade as release day Iron Fist? In my experience going behind healers and pulling his E ability is great

Blade is suffering from release Ultron syndrome. He charges ult twice as fast as other characters.

>>717660034
Probably because the roles themselves are not fun to play and become insufferable when the game design is such that your shitty existence reduced to a resource that can be removed in a rock paper scissors assassination. When I still played this game and had to support the best way to survive was to abuse terrain LoS and have 1 DPS who will hang near enough to peel. People can't expect tanks to turn unless the enemy is so disorganized they have that time.

Support being healbots and assassins being given ways to practically OHKO them is bad game design. Either rework HP and give supports something else fun to be doing that helps the team or make sure that assassinations can only reliably happen with team coordination and/or ultimates. I would rather see supports function in engineer roles where they can reasonably secure areas provide interrupted heals teleports ammo etc activities that support your frontline and actually bring map tactics to the game.

>>717660034
Nah, I've hated Panther since release. He instantly deletes me.

>>717674409
like 30 years ago

>trannies play blade in raked
>uhh why we lose
because you cant play him yet tranny stop playing a new character in ranked

Cutest!

>>717672272
Have to save something for next year.

Buff Thor

Her game

>>717685846
Only demon cock can penetrate that!

>>717685846
It never was.

>>717686959
Too bad the demons she grew up with literally have no cock to play with at all!

the game finally won bros
5 losses in a row where our team couldnt make it past spawn
i just alt f4d and uninstall, i'll probably check back in a year or two if they add more tanks and healers

>>717685846
if this is magick's game then why don't i have a magick duo?

>>717688753
I literally don't know how to play as luna. She's technically the same healer as Sue in that you have to hit people with your normals to heal them but for some reason I keep dying a lot more as her compared to any other healer.

>>717639948 (OP)
>mvp screen isn't his remixed theme song they used in the trailers

>>717643214
Context?

>>717688935
Sue's abilities synergize a lot better when it comes to fending off divers and the like.

I think Jean feels like a worse Hela and Blade feels like a worse Magik
If Daredevil is next then he will feel like a worse Spider-man is my guess

>>717698259
Nah, Blade is a better Magik. And Jean has unique utility in removing placeables and breaking shields, but she lacks in terms of raw damage. She's supposed to play into teamfights, but it's not gonna happen with disorganized randoms.

>>717656354
Any tank can deal with him, any dps can fight him and as for Support, 3 support hard counter any dive especially with Ultron or Adam who are shit outside of that. Only Luna sucks if you cant land freeze but if support just heal each other they dont die in general
Only change he needed was to make him louder so people know hes around, same thing they did with Ironman so hes less cheesy

>>717643485
Ganondorf with the master sword

>>717698259
Jean needs her body shot damage increased slightly or at least agianst single targets, its annoying when an enemy survives with near 1hp health after the initial burst then gets healed.
The Ult is also such a nothingburger, it dies fast if you just shoot it, steering it is weird and deployables can be destroyed and redeployed fast plus shields arent really enough of an issue outside of Rocket Ult which is just whatever when you can shoot the thing
