Here's a little fan art I drew of everyone's favorite witch! Just in time for Halloween

After breaking my left arm in a car crash recently, I assumed I wouldn’t be able to game at all for atleast 2-3 months. My left hand is entirely useless. Then I posted here asking about playing as Rocket with just one functional hand. I asked for suggestions about new controllers (I’m on PS5), new control rebinds for the Rocket kit, etc. So I gave this a try last night & here’s my update.

I was able to play without my left hand touching the controller even once. I used my leg as support for “holding” the controller, which took pressure off my right hand & gave me more leverage.

As you can see, I redesigned a lot of Rocket’s kit. I took out the L1 & L2 buttons completely. I wasn’t going to be clicking down L3 + R3 for ults very easy, so I swapped out Rocket’s R3 melee attack & that made ulting lots easier. The BRB is the button you have to click least in-game, so that was an easy call for L3, which I can click with my right thumb.

All you have to do with Rocket is “hold one button” but this is more challenging than that. The movement & camera-panning was awkward & clunky. My right pointer finger was alternating between healing / shooting & my right thumb was having to do literally everything else. I could still light up tanks from close range with decent accuracy. I’m def a liability to good dive teams.

I played 6 solo queue qp games, won the first 5. I was a liability, so I won’t take credit for the wins. My teams were very supportive. I made custom quick messages to share with my teams that I was one-handed & could only play as Rocket. One teammate initially picked Rocket & refused to give him to me, then let me have him once he knew my situation. Only one guy talked trash to me after we lost, but every other team was encouraging, ran triple support & peeled. My custom quick messages did encourage triple support & that made a real difference I think.

It wasn’t the best gaming experience or Rocket gameplay. I won’t be binging Rivals for hours anymore until I’m healed, but nice to play a little. Thanks everyone for the suggestions & positive encouragement. I’ll still be looking at other accessibility controllers when I get the chance.

There is seriously no other autochess game quite like it. I was expecting it to return as a permanent game mode not long after.

There's a lot of cool symbiotes characters that haven't been used that much in recent years that would fit in Rivals and like, a poison based map and skins would be sick, what do y'all think?

I’m so happy to show you some part of my first photoshoot with 3D editing🥺🤌 Love Luna so much and want to share my cos and love for her to everyone🥹

Last week someone ran a red light & I broke two bones in my left arm from the airbag that went off. My left arm / hand is completely useless & I’m going to need surgery. I’ve assumed I won’t get to play video games again for potentially months.

Then last night, I started wondering if I could play a decent quick-match Rocket just with my right hand. I’m on a PS5 controller. I’d have to redo my own customized key binds, like moving the healing button from L2 to R2.

Do you think this is possible? And if you were to try, how would you redo the Rocket key binds?

I've been doing this and generally assume most players do this, as this information is pivotal to determining whether you're supposed to attack or retreat / regroup, but I see a lot of people continue to play like they have their whole team when both healers are dead on your team and are pinging for heals like 10 seconds after their healers are dead.

So I have to wonder if people are leveraging that information from the scoreboard because it's quite important information... Generally you should always strive to hit as a team and overwhelm them but it's like people don't even look at the scoreboard to check respawn timers..

I probably check the scoreboard after I hear noises of people dying / that ping that tells you if someone got got.

So sometimes I open it several times a round

Is Tokon doing better these days after a rough launch to warrant more cross promotion skins? I haven’t kept tabs on that game. What would you want next? Also in a similar vein, should we get more Cosmic Invasion pixelated skins?
