Why is it when I play with an Adam, Ultron, Mantis, etc in 2/2/2, we do just fine, but when I try to play an off support, everyone keeps fucking dying? Is it me playing the off support or the other support being bad?
I have no problems whatsoever playing Loki and Rocket with off supports in 2/2/2 but only have problems when I'm the one playing the off support role. I don't get it, and I have done well in 2/2/2 before as an off support but they're rare so I don't understand if it's me or the other support is bad.

We're only a few hours away from the patch so it's 100% going to be in. We would have heard about it already if they were planning something else. They might be confident Reddit is blowing it out of proportion. If it's that bad we'll probably see it patched next week.

>>
>>
>>563804487
I think there might be a bit of a delayed reaction. Last time everyone flipped their shit over Cap the moment the patch dropped, so they had time to release emergency patch notes before patching the game. This time the sentiment was more along the lines of "this sounds retarded, but we have to see it in practice", and devs were probably already locked in on the current patch by the time streamers tested it.

Lol the new anti cc changes are fucking terrible.
They're making it so you cant just cc chain someone into a death which im all for but at the same time they didnt even check this on characters like thing who now gets cucked by his ult if he runs, stomps, and then ultimates (it wont even throw anyone in the air)
venom will be legit broken and probably banned
invis will st ill be played just as much
shield tanks are now even more valuable.
i give it one week start tomorrow and i gaurentee you that zhiyong and guangguang will be forced to apologize.
>>
Reminder all of this is because Zhiyong doesn't want to actually nerf or remove the cc on all the trouble heroes. I honestly don't know how they actually managed to convince him to remove almost all of it from Bucky's kit

I am only at the beginning of the oath but I recommend making your personal goals:
1) Claiming the cart anytime the enemy isn't looking at it
2) Making the supports look away from their team
Shit after a few dives I don't even have to do anything. They hear my loudass footsteps and immediately start pivoting around looking for me. And if they're looking at me, they ain't healing their team (Mantis and Ultron aside). Sometimes I'll just poke my head out long enough to throw shield and then fuck off. Get under their skin. They want to diff you so bad. They want their team to turn and evaporate you. It doesn't even matter if you kill them or not. Just play tag with them. Sooner or later they'll lose it and chase you. I keep having people solo ult me lmao.

>>563809428
The full swing is a hair slower but its three hits per swing and has half-again the range
Projectile charge time is basically the same it just lets you charge it more so full charge takes longer but it does more extra damage per tick of charge
I'm pretty sure she also has a higher cap on her overshield, which she gets insanely fast because she shits out damage, especially if you go in with a spin2win
Its not free kills, you have to pick your moment, but it is dangerous as fuck. Just transform around a corner, not where people can see you. And its absolutely not a panic button.

Way too many retarded ultroon players ego out and stay on ultron when they're getting penetrated
I played with one who kept saying he was good for it and the dude got 3 final hits in a 15 minute match
all he did was feed magnetos ult and get people killed on repeat.
Even when the team was begging and willing to fill, he stayed onit. He even banned his 160 hour main (spiderman) which was just bizarre.
Its literally always the ultron players or some off meta bullshit character like jeff and healpool who int and then just force their team to suffer.

I mean every ult gets screamed lol, she'd get a free three piece every single time otherwise
I tested it, she doesn't get a high armor cap she just gets it insanely fast, she can stack up to 400 total health and essentially heals herself. You can basically hit cap in one spin if it hits four people.
You're giving up a ton of value by not ulting, I'd recommend even just doing two spins and a dash and using the last spin to leave. You'll probably just about always get a kill
>>
>>563811756
You definitely have to realize when its time to swap off him, he gets fucking stuffed bad by some characters. But being a fellow Ultron I also get why some people get stubborn because they're used to getting shittalked from the get go because people heard he was ass tier from a youtuber six months ago
But yeah especially if people are asking nicely, you gotta swap when its not clicking

Even better, he just runs headfirst into Rocket and Rocket stops him cold with Tenacity immunity. The shittiness they were able to put into tanks in this game is truly awe inspiring. Tanks feel like paper.
>for whatever reason, tanks have no more displacement abilities than anyone else
>every other category loaded to the tits with CC/displacement which is supposed to be a tank trait to do their job
>tiny squishies like Black Widow can absolutely manhandle a giant tank like Hulk or Thor
>no with the CC shit, tanks, who are the one category that is supposed to have CC, get fucked out of doing displacement
All because DPSupp faguettes would whine and shit themselves if they didn't get CC too. Since this I have literally seen fucking MOON KNIGHT PLAYERS screaming that their Ankh's CC bounce is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to the character and game and needs to be exempt from Tenacity. NetEase has trained DPS and Support players to believe that CC/displacement abilities are meant to be for everyone, removing the one thing that tanks are supposed to have specifically.
Imagine if tank players were like:
>"Bro it's not fair that Supports get healing, we deserve to have healing too for game balance!"
This is the mentality of this game's player base. And so, NetEase created their own problem by loading DPS and Supps with CC to the point that 6/6 characters on the team will have it, then people complained there's too much CC, so they find the worst possible blanket solution that fucks the characters actually meant to have CC.

I'm gonna be immortal. There is not shit in this game that's gonna stop me going full hentai on their backline. 100% of their characters' CC and healing primary fire is gonna be directed at me and I'm gonna eat it right up like mama's lemon pound cake and swing out for ten seconds then dive right back in for another twenty.

No it makes complete sense that this tiny woman can stunlock and kick Thor ten feet in the air for five seconds straight.
Oh it's going to count as "cinematic CC" btw so Tenacity won't save you.

I think It's safe to assume that if a teammate refuses to stop playing a character who doesn't work for more than 2-3 minutes then they are certainly trolling.
It's really not that hard to swap to something stronger or better for a situation. And this is why I think the game is definitely worse than what it was on launch, because on launch people would actually make the effort to play anything that stuck just to win, but the egos are so rampant now that you legitimately get people who will run it down if they didn't get the hela teammate who clocks in 20+ final hits and hard-carries a match.

It's so sad that instead of just nerfing the broken healers early on Zhiyong decided to try and buff the """weaker""" ones to the same level. As a result Sue had every single weak aspect of her kit removed little by little until she became the monstrosity she is today.
She was my favorite long ago when she was an honest pick.
>>
>>
>>
>>
Why are the egos so fucking bad in Celestial? Are people legit just autistic in this rank? because sometimes they just assume you're thinking what they're thinking when you definitely are not on the same page. I saw a former OOA magik otp tilt on support because? and instead of swapping and when he was shitting the bed, do you know what he did? he stayed on support despite people asking for him to stop playing rocket into phoenix and multiple people willing to fill. There people willing to play support on the select screen and he just decided to say fuck it i hate my team.

High elo games are an exercise in mental illness management
Games can be lost because the most fragile player on your team didn't get his favorite bans or because he doesn't like the heroes picked by his team, even when they're all viable choices

It was always clear from the beginning that the design team at Netease are out of their depth and don't know how to design a game like Rivals. The Art team and the Marvel IP are single handedly carrying the game at this point, because Zhiyong's ability to fuck up and barely do any work needs to be studied.

rivals is retarded because the devs added another 3 subranks (Celestial) for no reason

overwatch did that as well with champion, you are aware these games need to add these because there's such an inflation in these games thanks to booster and other shit? Also, they need to keep the hamster wheel going.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>563826185
who cares
all they did was make comp worse
adding another rank for "inflation" when most players were already demoralized by the competitive grind just sealed comp's face
thats why its dead as shit this season.
>>
>>563826407
Ranking up too fast is a real issue in Rivals and Celestial was a bandaid fix
They could've also reduced the amount of points get for each match while increasing the points needed to rank up
Or alternatively give each rank 5 subranks instead of 3. In the end they accomplished the same by adding another rank entirely

It's funny how shit she is and yet she is still played like every single game.

If I had to choose between having more players interact with in Competitive but at the cost of there being more "rank inflation" vs now waiting 5+ fucking minutes between queueing and then another 3-4 minutes for the actual queue then I would probably choose the former.
Seriously
who the fuck cares about the integrity of this game's rank distribution when you can just lock in Invisible Woman and climb to Eternity playing nothing but support characters.
nodamagerocket was hitting celestial every season just spamming rightclick every match
>>
>>
>>
>>563826681
That and they also really dont have the choice when the strongest supports are getting banned now. Either that or you go Jeff and Rocket, and even those aren't viable characters when Punisher, Phoenix exist in this game.
White fox just added to the shield spam and has a pretty good anti dive ability which is about it. If I had to choose between playing Cloak and White fox then I would probably lock in Cloak immediately. No Question about it.
>>
>>
celestial's 3 empty ranks btw
it wa better when gm and eternity split players because there were more people to play with
i literally saw the same fucking players all month this season half.
its a joke. but i think im done reading this retards replies so im just going to bed now.
>>
>>
and just another thing
this argument is pointless because celestial is now a thing but i think its factual that it made ranked worse
it put off more people from wanting to play
overtroon has most of its players in plat, diamond
rivals has 90% of its playerbase in bronze
thats crazy
but OH NO WE COULDNT HAVE A COUPLE THOUSAND PEOPLE SITTING IN A RANK OR TWO HIGHER THAN THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN! WHERES THE INTEGRITY!

That's literally impossible because the game didn't get new players, we can just look at the steam playercount, how does adding another rank for the 0.1% of the playerbase make YOUR ranking worse?

what do you gain from trying to be "ethical" about this? Your argument is shitty because you do the reddit thing and ignore why players are inflated to begin with and its definitely the shitty balance and how boosted people are playing phoenix, bucky, hela, elsa, invis, cnd, magneto, strange, groot, punisher, daredevil aka characters who inflated someone's self skill.
adding celestial was a huge L for the competitive playercount
MORE PEOPLE BECAME LESS INTERESTED
why cant you accept this
Its just sooooooooo stupid, who the fuck was actually believes that celestial being added was for the sake of integrity? you have to be delusional as hell to even believe that it wasnt just a lazy attempt to extend the grind and be a nonfix for what was really the problem
i hope that when this game reaches eos in like 10 years that i can just laugh at retards like you for even caring this much about something so nonimportant when there were bigger issuesi n the game.

>>Surprised at the thief character having a repertoire of items to choose from
Thieves are not known for having access to a shop and buying a bunch of super magic artifacts that functions as spells. If anything this would be better for a merchant type hero. Absolutely no one thinks of "someone that buys magical artifacts" when they hear the word "thief". Even in games gold or purchase mechanics are almost exclusively tied to merchant classes or characters.
If anything, thieves are known to hoard their gold like a fucking dragon.
Or fuck even someone like Dr Strange is famously known as having access to tons of magical tools, pacts and spells he pulls out.
Black Cat is a street level thief that is known for sneaking around and stealing shit. That's it.

The purge crystal needs to be bought and held beforehand and disallows the usage of other items because it gets replaced. So you'd need to buy it, expecting to get CC'd and then hold on to it to activate it.

Black Cat is too much effort for what she does. I get what they were going for with the steal and spend mechanic but keeping track of my coins is annoying and I’m barely using the item shop because I’d rather just jump around and spam my super claws.
Also fuck me, can niggers who don’t play cap stop playing cap? The team up does not make him strange 2.0z

>>563840846
>Black Cat is too much effort for what she does
Not really, you only need to know each use case for each ability. You will mostly be using the portal, invis, fish and wallhack. Beyond that she's just a standard diver.
She's insanely overdesigned and poorly designed, but she's just another basic bitch melee diver with a pay to win store gimmick.
>>
>>563837038
She doesn’t have 50 abilities. She has a single shop ability. It’s just an excuse to spend the money she steals so that she’s not just daredevil’s fury mechanic 2.0. Personally I would’ve preferred if the shop was buffs instead of abilities and luck based.
