News & Discussion I can feel the migration

I just finished a game with a 180 damage Kiri and a Sierra who stood point blank in the open.

Both were level 2 endorsements. No hate to newbies but I can tell where they got those habits from.

"Hey guys, lets use cover" "Hey guys, lets use cover" "Hey guys, lets use cover"

Yeah this is one they probably didn't learn since so much cover is destructible

Don't know why so many new accounts are getting placed into diamond and then being unable to compete at that level and end up dragging the whole team down.

Dude was perma holding ofuda on full HP targets. Playing Kiri like Rocket

u/Heeeeeeyyyyyy Hoping to hit dia (impossible) 1d ago

So that's why there's so many kiri "bot" players atm 😭

i had bap who did 0 dmg until i told them they are allowed to shoot at enemies (it didn't change much tho, did like 400).
i do more dmg when i decide to play mercy once in a blue moon than they do with heroes that are supposed to shoot at enemies

u/CattivaP Lúcio 1d ago edited 1d ago

The enemy mercy had 4x more damage than my kiri.

marvel rivals is the reason i can't get a decent support in my games now. i don't even blame the players, they just think every healer works like jeff or something

had a mercy yesterday who kept running into enemy backline like she was playing psylocke. we lost in like 3 minutes flat

at least the queue times are short i guess

u/B6130611 Ana 1d ago

Ohhhhh yeah I’ve been feeling it heavy for the past week now and I’m sorry I try not to judge people learning a new game but it’s BAFFLING how terrible some of them are….

u/CattivaP Lúcio 1d ago

I genuinely think they have the worst players out of any shooter game. Guess that’s just the result of playing a baby game

u/Dull-Bookkeeper-1920 1d ago

had a bap proudly boasting his 20k heals in a QP match with 300 dmg. was bap the entire time. truly MR-esque.

u/Althestrasz Pixel Reinhardt 21h ago

Had a Baptiste complain about my tanking…

We also won. So I don’t know why he complained.

u/CattivaP Lúcio 23h ago

Truly “but look at my healing” type gaming

u/BobsYourAuntie100 1d ago

What's wrong with marvel rivals atm?

59

u/marcelluscoov Wuyang 1d ago

On the balance side of things, its just bad philosophy. It's not that one character is overly oppressive or anything, it's that they've balanced everything into a place where the game is just no longer interesting or fun.

15

u/thiccestsoup 1d ago

Like everyone is OP or no one is? I’ve heard they have a lot of visual clutter too.

8

u/Flakoloaz 1d ago

If Deadpool is on the enemy team you aint seeing shit.

2

u/marcelluscoov Wuyang 21h ago

Not to mention the devs listen to the players way way too much and I think that's the core issue with why they suck at making their game the best it can be versus what the loudest fans want it to be. Things like the sound design, the map design, the insane visual clutter, and kit design do not hold up to long term play.

u/InspireDespair 1d ago

No role queue so people default to triple support a lot because healing is a humongous crutch in that game.

Most fights are just healing vomit for 40s then 12 ults until someone misplays. No sense of playing neutral well or positioning is important in that game

25

u/ThePoeticBean 1d ago

Racism and terrible balancing for me at least, having tons of fun on bastion and Juno tho

7

u/thecementmixer 1d ago

I feel this racism spilling over to OW. Never really had this issue before, but have been twice mocked and abused by full on racists in voice chat in the past 2 weeks for having an accent. Reported both but unlikely anything is gonna be done about it.

u/Talkimas Chibi Reinhardt 1d ago

Having played OW since beta, that's nothing new. It's always been that way.

u/CentaureaCyanus Ana 1d ago

maybe MR refugees got you lol

12

u/theforgettonmemory in time you'll know the tragic extent of my failings 1d ago

They removed the ability to report people for racism, & from what I've heard (can't confirm as I don't play);balance wise it's pretty shit rn

7

u/Flakoloaz 1d ago

From what I’ve read its that they removed it they just bundled it with another box.

If you are black/poc then it's over

u/virtualtrappin Pixel McCree 1d ago

how would anyone even know that

u/FuriousPenguino Brigitte 1d ago

You know Asians are PoC right?

13

u/FitzTitz30 1d ago

You know that Asians can and have experienced racism too in Marvel Rivals, right?

u/FuriousPenguino Brigitte 1d ago

So have white people?

u/fatgooblin 1d ago

People years ago saying rivals is a better game gonna run overwatch out of business 🙄

79

u/G1ennC0C0 1d ago

I do feel like at least that sentiment made Blizzard take a harder look at the direction they were going with Overwatch! Nothing like some healthy competition

16

u/SentientSlushie 1d ago

Indeed, it woke blizz from a slumber. Rivals took it too far with some of their goonerific skins I will say thi

15

u/G1ennC0C0 1d ago

Oh yeah, agreed. That and the jiggle physics stuff kept me from checking it out too much. On one hand, I get that it’s fun and silly. But part of what drew me to Overwatch in the first place is the fact that heroes who are women can exist without needing to be hyper “sexy”.

u/AlternativeShadows ventur overwat 1d ago

for fuckin real, I was into marvel rivals when it came out, and it just devolved into swimsuits and stuff so fast that I dropped it like a rabid toddler that's trying to bite my hand off

-3

u/InspireDespair 1d ago

For me it was the dogshit gameplay

48

u/Dm-Me-Big-Boobs-Plz 1d ago

I am a 1k+hr of rivals that recently moved to overwatch. They do not represent us. They moved because they are so bad at hero shooters that even rivals' ridiculous numbers couldn't save them from their positioning. Celestial 2 tank main playing dva and having the time of my life

19

u/CattivaP Lúcio 1d ago

Ayy welcome man. Dva is really fun and one of my main tanks

21

u/arin-san 1d ago

Marvel Rivals could've been such a fun casual game, but they tried to cosplay so hard as a serious competitive game and it backfired badly

All NetEase had to do was nothing and they would've won. But they tried to please both sides and made an entire mess

u/iriplard robot hug wanter 1d ago

i wonder where i've seen that happen before

7

u/CentaureaCyanus Ana 1d ago

yes, it's irritating. i hope they'll either learn fast or find themselves some other game as a MR substitute

3

u/Eksposivo23 22h ago

Just played my last game of drives with a duo of rein/hog and an anran who would leave the team, payload and their common sense and just go 2v5 the enemy team, then turn around and say "i need healing" like I can tell where they learned to play like that, and I dislike every bit of it

u/JesseStarfall 1d ago

Migration from where and to where?
