"urgh urgh she's a necessary evil" shut the fuck up.

I am filling tanks in C2 all the fucking times and this horrendous slop character is THE cc demon, it's so fucking bad

All my tanks get countered by her and they're just playing "focus the enemy tank fuck the dive" bro geniunely FUCK you.

And the worst is that when you're trying to ban her your team talking about "just play mag" bro shut the fuck up, I wanna play strange I'm not interested into playing some of the most boring tanks of the game.

She shouldn't be THIS oppressive against main tanks this is just some fucking bullshit you just KNOW the pictosecond you get grabbed you're just dead

Your whole job is to wait for the enemy (usually backline) to be distracted fighting the rest of your team so you can swoop in and get some picks. But then you cry about how "poke play like cowards" because they shoot from a distance (meanwhile, y'all literally attack from behind), how they're too broken (most of them aren't that good in cqc, which you as a dive player should be forcing on poke players), and how they take no skill (LMAO, like most dive characters take much skill).

I'm saying this as someone who plays both, divers crying about poke are genuinely hilarious and most likely bad at dive. If anyone should be complaining about poke, it should be the 10 players who play flyers.

i lost a couple games yesterday (back to back) where i had people who climbed to this rank with animated cloak and dagger or rocket trying to fill DPS, and u can always identify this because they will lock the same 3 fucking characters; Wanda, Squirrel Girl and Blade (or ironman)

this doesnt mean u are only forced to play 1 role, but if you'd like to fill (mainly DPS as it is the hardest role) PLEASE just go into quickplay and learn the fucking character

alternatively;
- communicate w ur team, tell them u only know 1 role and either get 213 or more rarely 312 either way, much better then 222 99% of the time.
- if u play healer and ur teams losing DO NOT RAGE SWAP TO DPS THINKING U WILL BE ABLE TO BRING IT BACK WHEN U HAVENT EVER FUCKED TOUCHED THE ROLE (ONCE AGAIN HEALER MAINS THAT SWAP TO WANDA AND SQUIRREL GIRL)

I'm genuinely tired of these losing streaks in Gm or Cel. Looking at these match results, it's frustrating to keep losing games when your own supports spend more time chasing damage than actually supporting the team.

They dive straight into the enemy, die for free, and leave everyone else to deal with the consequences. These aren't Dps players filling support they're support mains who somehow forget that keeping their team alive is part of their job.

I'm not asking for healbots or perfect gameplay, but there's a difference between playing aggressively and constantly throwing your life away for meaningless damage. You can have decent damage numbers and still be completely useless to your team if you're never there when it matters.

At this rank, I shouldn't have to wonder whether my supports are going to heal us or run headfirst into the enemy team again.

These losses aren't always about the enemy being better. Sometimes your own teammates make winning unnecessarily difficult, and it's exhausting to lose rank because your supports refuse to play their role properly.

For example, my teammate invis pushed the enemy "Strange" toward my team and everyone die. It happened three times with absolutely no communication. And this Invis has been fighting Strange the whole time instead of healing us a champ invis....

Unless they think doom in season 11 will bring the numbers up

so if you know marvel rivals has been giving one week bans for people who had the mod known as unmounted blocker and i followed the steps removed all my mods and removed and reinstalled steam was still banned try to get my ban removed and was still banned so what do i do do i have to really wait a week to get unbanned ?

This character is ass. He’s been ass for a majority of this games lifespan. None of the buffs they’ve given him have made him substantially better. Even the Rocket team-up hasn’t changed much despite it being one of the best things to happen to him. He’s slow as fuck, he barely does any damage, his right click is useless outside of building up more meter, and his ult is the worst in the game. Up until recently he’s gotten nothing but epics, and when he finally does get another legendary it gets no ult vfx, no chromas, and it’s locked behind another pop the balloon event. “Erm but it’s giving you a chance to pay less!” The chance is so fucking slim that I would rather just pay for the skin regularly than pop the ballons. I’m tired of people of defending this stupid event while acting obtuse as to why other people don’t like it. This is only his 2nd legendary, it shouldn’t be limited time nor should it be locked behind an event like this. The only reason they’re doing this is because they know Mr F mains have been begging for a new legendary, so they want to squeeze every last penny out of them for this skin. It’s predatory. They don’t want to give you a chance to get a skin for cheaper, they just want you to make you more likely to buy everything included, even the shit you usually wouldn’t care for like the emotes or emoji’s. This character deserves better, and his mains deserve better

I’ve played Marvel Rivals every season since Season Zero and probably have close to 2,000 hours logged. I’m a Marvel fan, an Overwatch fan, and I genuinely love this game. It gives me that adrenaline rush that keeps me coming back.

But the longer I play, the more I question what’s happening with the matchmaking.

I get it: you’re putting six strangers against six strangers, and perfectly balanced games aren’t realistic. But lately, it feels like the goal is to keep you chasing the next win. Give you enough good games to stay hooked, then put you through some bullshit that makes you want to win one more before logging off.

One thing I notice is how boxed into a role I feel. If I’ve been playing support and try switching to DPS, suddenly the team situation makes it feel like I have to go right back to healing. Does anyone else feel pushed back toward their usual role?

Then there are the swings between rounds. First round, your team gets absolutely dogged on. Second round, suddenly it’s competitive—or you’re steamrolling the same people who just destroyed you. Third round, it’s a nail-biter.

Obviously, counters, different maps, ults, and people adjusting can change a match. But sometimes the swing feels so extreme that I’m sitting there thinking, “How is this the same lobby?”

It almost feels like my damage is more effective or their healing suddenly can’t keep up. I don’t have proof that damage or healing gets secretly adjusted. That’s just how drastic the difference feels sometimes, and I’m curious whether other people notice it.

Other games feel decided by one massive gap on the team. You’ve got a tank who seems completely out of their depth against the other tank, and everybody else has to play out of their minds just to stay competitive. Those are the matches that make me think, “Okay, apparently it’s my turn to lose.”

I can handle losing a good match. What frustrates me is feeling like I’m being handed a huge disadvantage, then given just enough good games afterward to keep queuing.

Sometimes the matchmaking is great. That’s part of why this bothers me—I know how much fun this game can be when a match feels competitive. But lately, I keep wondering whether I’m feeling engagement-optimized matchmaking kicking in, or whether playing this much has me seeing patterns in every frustrating game.

Anyone else feel this? And for people who disagree, what do you think explains those massive swings—even between rounds against the exact same team?

Yes racism, hate speech, and misogyny in coms are terrible but we shouldn’t all get screwed because of bad apples and sensitive players who pretend the mute button doesn’t exist

And yes this is a problem, the current a.i already punishes black players who say the N word in positive/neutral context, I’ve also received soft mutes because I said “ fuck “ after dying.

The only people who should be getting banned by the a.i are people who use slurs and receive repeated reports across multiple games.

Everything else should be the responsibility of players to use their mute buttons and continue playing.

Tldr; ruined some guys day because our team went 4 DPS and lost. And I just wanted to apologize.

So I was playing competitive a few days ago with a new DPS character that I am learning.

Mind you, I already practiced a lot with this character and I was only doing my regular placement matches in an alternate account.

Our team decides to go 4 DPS. One heal. One tank.

We lost and apparently no one noticed until the end. It was our tank.

Instead of flaming just one person. This dude flames all DPS at the end.

And the way he flamed us made me think he was having a really bad day. And all of us DPS just further ruined his day.

Like he really just wanted help.

And it stuck with me ever since. Sorry dude.

Hi , i wanted to share my ideas with you guys about the role queue argument people be doing lately , why instead add a piority queue like league for example you select 2 preferences roles like dps tank/strat , you are somewhat expected to have your first selected role for like 3 , 4 games out of 5 or smh this way ensures you get to play your main role for most of the games and solves the queue time on dps cuz you may be playing a tank for a dps main and that other dps main will play tank for you later , and we can add a swap button ingame that only works inside the base that you can swap with each others if things went bad

Lastly i can't emphasize more how much we need role queue soft queue any type of shit that can actually force the same baslinr composition for both teams so we can deny any sort of variables in this RNG matchmaking and people wont just climb by just having a good 2 2 2 games in a row

Idk how everyone else feels but unfortunately, yes I am addicted to hero shooters, it is my second favorite genres of game and I love games.

So there is a handful of things keeping me here such as there is potential and the genre and it has its moments however few and far between.

But more and more games I play in 10.5 the more actually miserable I feel. The balance feels so so bad and only getting worse and yeah that’s a repeated topic but I’m ranting again. My point here is it doesn’t feel like it’s enticing to play. They run full dive? My heals tilt and I can’t kill anything because they have 20 escape options and banned their hard counters or my team doesn’t care to help me peel.

(Special mention where my stats look low because I’ve peeled all game and then get flamed because everyone in this game is addicted to stats like cocaine. Despite FH being the most unbelievably useless stat. I melee a Wanda and steal your kill, I get the FH, do you think this is important now?)

They run full poke? Well about 90% of the roster just got destroyed so we have to mirror or we lose but nobody wants to do that (rightfully so) so we lose.

There’s like 2-3 character’s you can play in each role if you’re trying to win and the others, well you’re gonna get flamed for one wrong move or get countered by a gust of wind.

On that point, TRYING to win feels like a sin in this game, the community is so bad and toxic that the mere thought of wanting to win feels like you are begging to lose. That’s kinda insane.

The competitive scene is genuinely fucking dead. It’s a joke and as a competitive player myself, I feel completely left out and forgotten which gives me almost zero incentive to play or try.

It’s just funny to me cause the devs cater to casual players but the casual players don’t give a shit what they do. I was a causal player once and sometimes I didn’t even look at the damn patch notes, I played for an hour and moved on and forgot I even played. Catering to that type of player is so beyond me, I can’t even fathom the reasoning.

The fact that they didn’t just churn out like 2 tank or 2 heal for a few seasons in a row, maybe have 1 be like a 3 character release just to even out the roles is insane.

It’s gotten to the point where I have to wait like a full second to scroll past the dps category to see the rest because of how many there are. This also gives one very little incentive to play because you encounter 3-5 dps again and again.

I’ve been playing other games lately which is crazy when seeing how many hours I’ve put into this game and how many more I’m willing to commit. They just are ACTIVELY pushing me away. This game does NOT want me to play. I play the game and I can practically feel it yelling at me to get off.

First of all, he’s playing in GM, this guy is top 500 basically since the game came out.

It makes me so mad when I see “hitscan only challange” dude what the fuck are you talking about? You can play hitscan, man, it’s not some insane difficult thing to do and it’s not like he’s never touched these characters before when he had repeatedly played Elsa, Widow and more and has the positioning and game sense of a top 500 player across console and PC. There is no “challenge” here, you’re smurfing, just say it, you’re smurfing and you wanna run lobbies to make content out of it.

Other people do this all the time and it’s got a long history to it. “Educational to GM” yeah okay dude. Almost all the popular streamers do these things to similar fashion and farm content out of it.

For example lolterm just got hard canceled for some gross stuff and people realized even before then all he did was Smurf for content.

I know Rivals has a lot of issues and in terms of the community they are taking slow steps to make it better but the next thing they need to crack down on is smurfing because it’s beyond easy and ruins the game across ALL ranks.

Sypeh has created so many accounts and reached rank 1 so many times, I’ll be honest I don’t praise this, to me all this says is he either bought accounts to grind which is just sad af or smurfed his way through ranks to get back where he already was before. It also tells me that competitive is a joke and too easy and you can climb too easily.

Which leads to where I should say a solution.

1. the game needs to recognize a Smurf and if they are going 50-0 in gold, raise them a few ranks. If they are actually low ranked then they’ll get filtered back down naturally.

2. Punish Smurf’s because it’s reportable so it’s been acknowledged as breaking the rules, if the system sees these scores in such low ranks then ban them for however long they decide. Just make it actually punishable because it’s beyond rare it ever gets punished.

Which also leads me to a side point here, kingsman destroying these GM lobbies should just be banned on that account, he is currently live streaming a bannable offense AND has live streamed this same bannable offense multiple times under the guise of “challange” and “being new to this character” despite that being a complete lie.

1. You can either raise the level cap again for ranked or do what deadlock does and make it a certain amount of wins.

This would lead to a more competitive scene but only for the “competitive” mode. I know Netease seems to be scared of that word but I imagine it’d be beneficial to all involved.

Overall there’s no good argument for this type of content or activity, playing or learning a character isn’t discovering a new type of math equation. You can do it on your main, god isn’t gonna smite you down for it if you lose a few and pick it up the next game. Not wanting to learn on your main in a video game 99.99% of people don’t get paid for is just beyond sad.

I guarantee there is a better counter argument for any argument made for smurfing or similar content.

The amount of teammates I get in this mode that have their brains in their ass is unreal.

Rng can fuck you sure, but these people are unbelievable. Building the most useless shit, playing like they've never held a controller before. And this game mode is literally made so that any skill level can still do well in it. I think people just actually do not read what upgrades they're choosing.

Most of the time these people aren't even new players on a low level account because then its easy to forgive, they're people with 100+hrs in the fucking game.

Tldr; Basically a mini tournament feature that you are automatically registered into. No sign up. No credit card. No bs.

Let's say at the start of an hour or a few times per day you get placed in a regular quick play match.

If your team wins - it will ask every player. "Do you wish to continue with your current Winning kings and queens?"

If every player says Yes. You will face off another winning team.

If you win 3 games in a row. You win a little trophy.

But the important part is you got a chance to play against humans therefore improving your skill rather than playing random bots.

Out of 8 starting teams. Only one will Prevail.

I love how so many people on this game ONLY turn their mics on and speak right as the game is ending on a loss. It’s always to say something snide, rude, or critical right before the team chat disappears. It always makes me laugh because it’s so cowardly. They know you can’t respond to them because the game is ending and they want to have this ego serving mic drop moment. More than half the time, it’s totally laughable and childish.
The insults and the whining are comedy gold but the criticism has me asking the same question: Why did they not say this during the match? If they wanted something to change, they could have just ASKED. Then maybe something could have been done to change the outcome of the match. Not all of the criticism is even bad or wrong in some cases. The problem is that these people choose to remain silent until the VERY end when they can be an asshole without facing any consequences.
If this is you, people like me know what you are. More importantly, YOU know what you are. That’s why you do it. My heart goes out to you and so does my middle finger. Find some courage.

They said when the team-up system revamp was coming out that they would pump out a lot of emergency patch notes. But we've barely gotten any, and actually, characters barely get changes to begin with.

I wish that they would do more emergency notes. And on top of that, nerf/buff MORE characters. Instead of like 10-15 characters. Do 20-30.

Moreover, I feel like they pick the right characters TO make changes to. They just don't do the RIGHT changes.

> Let's take Dino. That 25 health nerf was kind of stupid. I get buffing his counters, which makes him weaker, but why would you overly buff something to be stronger than the thing that's already busted?

> Another example is Gambit. His ultimate has always been his issue, and they keep nerfing his neutral (main abilities). Then, when they actually NERFED Gambit, the "nerf" they did was technically a buff. (Referring to the jump boost.)

> My final example is Luna. Unironically, despite her being the favorite child, I feel like she even gets mistreated. (Considering all they do is give her low-quality skins and don't actually balance her.) She does so much damage, and she has so much utility. I PLAY Luna, and I don't like it.

Overall, we all know the Devs have no fucking clue what they're doing, but god damn. It's annoying seeing the same 5 people in the patch notes every single season, and they don't fix the actual problems those 5 people have.

I'm C2 right now on console, and every game is just Bucky spam. It's so boring to play against. I don't know which genius thought it was a good idea to give a high damage character an ability cooldown buff with the Elsa team up.

I'm tired of facing Bucky every single game, and I can't ban him because either we have a Bucky on our team or we have to ban other, more important characters like Elsa, Dino, Phoenix.

Please, I'm tired of seeing this character in every game.

I like the game a lot but it’s getting real tiring that about 60-70 percent of my games has either a Smurf on my team or on the other. I’m silver and I want to improve on the game but it feels to me if I have 1-2 people in the game completely out classing everyone else than I’m not learning anything.

This season arguably is the absolute worst fucking matchmaking this game has ever seen. Idk what the actual fuck guangguang and zhuiong are fucking doing but they are actually fucking retarted. I keep getting Hellen Keller and Stephen hawking on my teams that don’t know what the fuck anything literally is. So frustrating when I look at my scoreboard and half or more of my team is super negative.

I want to start by making one thing clear: I don’t enjoy being negative.

Marvel Rivals will always hold a special place in my heart. It introduced me to Marvel comics and the MCU, and it gave me something I was genuinely passionate about. Since Season 0, I’ve been a loyal player. I loved learning new characters, engaging with the community, and looking forward to every new update.

Every new season brought excitement me and every new piece of content gave me something to look forward to.
That’s exactly why it hurts to reach a point where I feel the need to abandon it.

I am so fucking tired of being forced to play tank and support every. fucking. season. And I already know what some people are going to say: “just instalock dps and stop caring!”

BUT I DO CARE ABOUT WINNING. i enjoy playing competitively, and i shouldn’t have to choose between playing the roles i actually enjoy and having a team composition that gives us a chance to win. I’m okay with losing if my team gave it their all and we worked together.. Thats fine! I don’t expect to win every single game and have the best players to ever exist on my teams. What I DO mind is having 4 dps who refuse to swap.

You know what? I don’t even mind solo tanking. I can handle that. what i DO mind is watching 4-5 people instalock dps, refuse to switch, and continue going negative while expecting someone else to sacrifice their fun to compensate for them.

I’ve lorded nearly every tank and support in this game, not necessarily because those are the roles I want to play every single match, but because SOMEONE HAS TO FUCKING PLAY THEM.

And what makes this even more frustrating? Every other update feels like another dps release. new character, new gameplay, new content to get excited about, and guess what? I DON’T GET TO ENJOY IT. 😐 I still haven’t been able to play Gorr once.

Could i instalock dps myself? sure. could I spend match after match losing because we have one support, zero tanks, and a team full of dps players who refuse to switch? absolutely.
but HOW is that fun for anyone???

Why should i have to sit through an agonizing 10-minute match with a terrible team comp, teammates screaming at each other, and people refusing to cooperate just because I want to play something other than the same two roles I’ve been playing for seasons?

It’s gotten so bad that i’ve started playing overwatch and honestly? I’d rather sit through a role queue and wait to play the role I actually WANT than spend an entire 10-minute match on Marvel Rivals fighting both the enemy team AND my own team. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I shouldn’t have to sacrifice my enjoyment of the game just because other people refuse to compromise… And the thing is, I LOVE marvel rivals. That’s the entire fucking point. I WANT to enjoy the new characters. I WANT to experience the new content. I WANT to play the game without feeling obligated to fill the same roles every single season.

It feels like I’m genuinely being punished for being willing to cooperate and be a good player.

I hate what the black widow subreddit has become

I miss the people coming in there and laughing at my jokes or just posting clips, skin ideas, and memes, the new people that came in didn't like my joke like the old people, we all have our opinions, but they had started disliking me after I made my honest thoughts about the rework and ofc I wasn't going to just take it

After the rework most of the original playerbase was not going to like it, ofc, and in history of reworks go the old widow players are gutted, and sad and will post about it

The new black widow players are obviously going to get fed up with it, but I see both sides attack each other, I've been in that subreddit for awhile and it had over 60k people now it's 7.0k.

It's not right to attack someone over it, as harassment and stuff but discussing it in a friendly way is what I want, if people don't like the rework they can just talk in their post and comment on the rework widow posts and the new people can post about the rework widow and not commenting on old widow if it's a negative comment

I do miss her, but I have stuck with the character, both sides don't make it easy and the subreddit has no moderation anymore. I'm trying to post about other things like no kit stuff but skins and discussion about them

I see other communities and I see other people happy (except torch mains) I just wish they cares about black widow more at the start of the game so she wouldn't have been disrespected, or with the rework allowed the old kit to be apart of a team up but with the old stun and infinite stamina and slam with the old run jump and height, or better yet just remove the useless batons, she is fading in the background, she got a summer skin sure but others that got the summer skin got another before her, and those who care about her are the very dedicated people who will stay, but it just feels my favorite is just disappearing and doing the thing she did in endgame on vormir

Just had a thrower who proceeded to feed, even admitted that they went down from GM 1 to Diamond 2 because of "trash teammates" and were throwing on purpose, our team reported him and I got the message that the thrower has been banned for a day (yay?)

I believe we should get a full refund for point compensation, I got 12 points and lost 18 so overall I lost 6 points but why should me or my teammates still lose points when the thrower made the game pretty much impossible to win? If the thrower comes back and throws they'll be banned for a week, but they'll still ruin one or two more games
