Marvel Rivals (6 vs 6 PVP battles)- 12/6/24 [All platforms]

Game has a lot of headscratching decisions IMO. The decision to make wolverine DPS and cap a tank are weird to me. I feel it should either be the other way around or retool Wolverine to tank, him not being able to self heal and being as immobile as he is, is weird as fukk. He doesnt capture the character at all.

In fact, I dont think this game shouldve pigeonholed characters into the holy trinity at all. Make them play true to themselves and let the team construction figure itself out. Instead of making doc strange beefy to fit the tank dynamic..just make him play like doc strange and then players will understand who and how to fit him on their team. Just because the game resembles overwatch doesnt mean it has to do what overwatch did.

Theres a lot of just little things that I think miss the mark in terms of gameplay design, but its overall fun to play, i hope theyll not pander too much to the esports crowd as well

Yeah i thought punisher looked way off.

Do you know if there’s cross progression?

Like I played the beta on steam, could I play on ps5 and access my account I played the beta with?

Wolverine is supposed to be a tank buster and it makes sense because that's lore accurate.

I already said it before, but him being slow with no agility is what defeats the entire character. Add in no self healing and lack of damage and he really is bottom of the barrel.

Welp. Guess we steam now .

I’ll get to this eventually. I just wanna use my cyan venom skin from the beta.

What they did to black panther and storm feels racist. You can cook with them of course but cmon bro

Imma keep trying to make storm work tho, that AOE lightning is dope and she can rack up damage quick if you can aim

it doesnt matter if you aim. She can only hit in melee. Her autos have the tiniest hitbox and travel very slowly.

I can't count how many times i miss like 90% of my shots against a ironman who isn't even dashing around. He not even noticing me just shooting the ground units and zigging ever so slightly yet i miss most shots because the damn autos dont hit shyt past 15 feet.

Wolverine should 100 percent be dps though dude is the all in berserker rage poster boy. But I can also see him working like a Berserker tank type character also.

Same with Dr Strange, on a team he is typically protecting allies but also can dish out damage and does that in game here.
I think all the characters are extremely faithful to the overall character.

Wolverine ironically is probably the only character where I feel they missed the mark a bit with his healing being an after thought. It almost seems like he was actually a tank at one point but did too much damage so they made him less tanky or self healing.
Overall though I feel like they really nail what characters are know for, I also hope they don't try to go Esports or if they do, they embrace this game just being the Marvel vs capcom of hero shooters gameplay wise.

Like i said, i dont even think he should be labelled either. I think the next step is to just give each char diff toolkits based on personal selection, maybe give the player the choice to sacrifice dps moves for moves that focus on self healing so hes more of a tank or vice versa depends on what the team needs.

Dr strange fits the specialist/support role more than tank, without the healing. They just pigeonholed him there and even made him brolic to make it seem believable, but thats not really who he is or how he should play. Rocket racc00n being a healer makes no sense either really, he should be more of a tricky DPS char in the realm of a junkrat.

Long story short, get out of the trinity. Its holding the game back

If they are going to be doing events and updates like this, regularly...

Game could "Rival" fornite.

 

[D1renegade]

Yeah they got me, I’m over here thinking about what skin I should buy next. This is the first time a free to play game has hooked me. Anybody here in the EU timezone? I’m going to need some dependable ppl to progress through ranked.

This shyt about to crush what's left of Overwatch. I don't think we'll ever see a live game drop the bag so hard.

Just the amount of past skins and events this game could do is absurd.

 

[Barney Rubble]

shyt is a hit, and holding 400k concurrent on steam.
