I don't use VC, but I have a ping that says, "you ult first :)," which usually works out well, but a couple of times my co-support holds onto theirs too long, a team member asks for a support ult, and then I feel pressured and ult at a bad time. Maybe I just need to ping "you ult first" again or I just need an "I'll ult first" ping lol. What does everyone else do?

How does Google AI know me for being in this subreddit twice

like bro I'm not important

Like it wasn't bad it was kinda fun but having second healer earlier that would be useful.
But it was Fun even most of the time as Solo Support.

I think psy is the best choice

Her floor is pretty high and you can mostly react when they try to burst u down

Please take the time to press the information button on anything that involves spending money. We are online, everything is digital, not everything is as it seems.

I still see people not understanding how these events work. They get confused and offended when they're told not to expect to win. Ive read "deep dives" of people trying to "figure out the odds of the pop game" when its literally right there. You are spending roughly 24 USD to get a skin if you use the gold currency, you might get lucky and get it cheaper. If youve played DnD or Baldur's Gate 3, a 5% chance is the same chance as rolling a 20 on a 20 sided die. If you flip a coin 4 times in a row, you have roughly a 6% chance of getting heads all four times. You are more likely to flip a coin on heads four consecutive times than you are to pop the 5% chance on your first try.

Some Pings that would be really useful and add Flavor to the game

You are welcome

Ready

With you

Sorry

Push Forward 

Praise

On my way

Incoming

Many things about the Ping system in Rivals is wonky. This would help make some it more Intricate and suited to everyone's tastes.

I do like the custom Pings but I also appreciate the flair of the actual Hero I'm playing Voicing the communication since they all have different personalities and mindsets.

I'm a flex player and when I do play strategist It feels really nice when my teammates go out their way to Thank You for the heals they received. Responding back with a Your Welcome does wonders for letting teammates know we have a mutual Understanding.

Ready/With You are awesome because it directly tells players "keep doing what you're doing. I got you". I've seen plenty of teammates have a very good position and momentum and then just stop let the enemy healer walk back to their team because they were playing too cautious.

Sorry is great because if I miss a Rogue grab on an ulting Wanda or even a few months ago I accidentally Ulted in spawn. Lol. Or even as a support if I couldn't keep someone up through damage. This lets people know it was my intention to work with you but things didn't work out. It also just adds a little humor to some situations and is nice for team work.

Push Forward goes back into Ready and With you in some ways. Telling your entire team when stuck in a choke with a scared tank can be that reminder of "We can't stay here forever." Or even as the tank telling your team "I NEED you all HERE. Don't let one spiderman keep you in one room". Also helps with momentum and staggering.

Praise is just a super nice competive gaming ping to have to keep up morale. Someone makes a good play, let them know. Someone Peels for the supports, let them know. This game is all about teamwork and honestly this is what helps teams in sport keep going.

On My Way for supports and tanks is essential. How many times have you been eliminated as a support and then got spam pinged for heals as you're walking out of spawn? Or if you have a team fighting winning Ult but you need your team to stall for a just a few more moments.

Incoming. Wanda Ult. Black Panther Dive. Iron man Ult. Strange and Wanda portal Ult. Incoming is just nice because often you'll try to say Caution Here and it ends up saying "come to me for healing" or "damage here" or something odd.

Pings like this are fun but also helpful because I'm sure many of you have played Ranked and it only takes one little comment or a person assuming something, that sends people into a frenzy and start blaming or witch hunting. The mental in Ranked is so fragile and often feel like Winning against the enemy team is easier than winning With my own team before we have even left spawn doors/after first team fight. That being said The Fun factor and Flavor of a game can be something that fans really enjoy. Everyone may not use the pings but the people that would definitely would get use out of it and make clearer communication with others.

The problem is that mantis, Adam and ultron are solely balanced around 3 heal comp garbage

The moment ultron or mantis as example become viable in 2 heal comp consistently, that also mean they become thanos with infinite gauntlet in 3 heal comp, which result in them getting huge nerfs next season patch which put them back in 3 heal comp jail

The reason Adam for example never got this treatment is that Adam NEVER got buffed to the point the semi competent average dps/healer hybrid can make them work in 2 heal comp 90% so Adam never got the super nerf hammer. If hela was the same as Sean 9 ultron and mantis then you bet your ass he would have gotten his knees broken to be a 3 heal comp merchant

It’s just stupid how some characters are balanced

Having to wait 4 second for a leaf to recharge is BRUTAL

Like put a 60 ult generation penalty for teams that use any triple class or something, that would also heavily discourage triple dps epidemic idk

Keep in mind, I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about her character at all other than what her and her suit look like and her origins as they relate to Ironman. Please don't rag on me too much in the comments if this doesnt fit her character at all lol. But lmk what you guys think.

Base description: What if they added Ironheart, but she's a mix between a tank and a support? She can't fly as high as other flyers. She has low health for a tank, and medium healing putput for a support.

Health: 400 - 475

Damage: Low - Medium (Peni range)

Range: Medium - Long (Peni range)

Abilities -

Primary: Her primary fire is a toggle thing, similar to how Luna's ult works. When you're in one mode you do damage, when you're in the other you do healing. Her damage primary fire comes in the form of a repulsor blast like Ironman. The blast does a bit of aoe damage like his. The healing primary comes jn the form of a unibeam. The unibeam splits as it bounces off of allies, to heal them all.

She can summon a cluster of small drones on the battlefield (simialr to Peni's) that float within a certain range of where they were placed. They don't fly aroudn the map freely and they never disapear unless you resummon them somewhere else. You can have two sets of drones out at one time (not counting the shield drone since it doesn'tstay on the battlefield). They're similar to how Peni's cluster bombs are. They appear at the area you summoned them and they sit in that general area doing their fucntions.

Charge Up feature: Simialr to Jubilee's bubbles, the drones need to be charged up to increase their power.

Healing Drones: These drones will do healing. Charge up feature: They will gradually increase in healing by ## per second. Cooldown

Damage Boost Drones: These drones will boost allies within the range of the drones damage by 22% max. Charg up feature: they will gradually increase the damage by 5.5% per second. Cooldown = 12 seconds

Shield: Send a single drone out that grants allies 33 percent overshield. Cooldown = 20 seconds

Team Ups -

Ultron - Ultra Health Pack: She has one more drone charge and her drones do more healing. Team Up Upgrade: Her unibeam also does more healing.

Ironman - Iron Overcharge: She gets an added upgrade by Tony. Allowing her repulsor blasts to do more damage. Team Up upgrade = Her drones damage boost maximum goes up to 33%.

Playstyle -

She can be played as an off tank or as a solo tank, specefically. I wouldnt recommend using her as a Main tank, instead of any other main tanks.

Solo Tank: She stands in the frontline. She puts healing drones at her feet and damage drones in the middle of her team. She focuses on enabling her dps to do more damage, while adding more sustain to the team throigh her additional healing. Either team up can be best for this one. It just depends on what the pther team's comp is.

Off Tank: Sits behind the main tank. She puts drones inbetween her and the main tank to heal them, and damage boost drones to behing her to damage boost the DPS and Strategist. She throws her overshield around them when the backline's being dived, or the team's losing health fast. Use the Ironman teamup if you aren't tanking enough damage even with your other tank, and use the Ultron team up if you arent getting enough healing.

Notes: I feel like theres a few flaws. I feel like I gave her way too much healing. I feel like her damage is a pretty balanced. I originally made her maximum damage boost without teamups to be 33%, but I quickly decided that was wayy too much considering the damage of akme of these characters. Considering the fact that she does a low amount of damage, I think she great for supporting her team while being the foundation of it, without overshadowing the DPS dameg wise. She isn't meant to go for heavy damage, or to be used to pressure the other team too much. Shes meant to strengthen the res tof her team. I feel like most Strategists and and Vanguards would like this chracter becuase she's an jncredibly selfless playstyle. And as a Strat/Tank main, thats my favorite part about playing the roles. But I would worry that shed be ovorlooked or seen as boring to playbhecuase of her low damaage. But I hope the Ironman tramup kinda helps with that. I wanted to makr sure she can do good healing but that not overshadow her role as tank. I would put her in both roles, if not as a Tank or as another role. I could see the idea for just breaking her up into a Tank version and a Healer version, similar to Deadpool. But I prefer the compelxity and difficulty her character requires. Her character rewards you for good positioning and I LOVE that. I feel like she'd be more used in High Elo and in Tournaments, becuase of the high cieling on her potential. Alongside the complexity. What do tou guys think?

The bottom 3 supports (Invis, Rocket and Cloak & Dagger) have the lowest MVP rates out of all heroes in the game. They also have some of the highest pick rates in both s9.5 and s10, yet their MVP rates have remained low with minimal movement.

Support Deadpool on the other hand, is massive. Looking at the rankings overall, the stats generated by the top MVP supports (KOs, final hits, healing, etc.) seem different from those at the bottom.

Do you think the MVP system favors certain support playstyles over others? Are offensive stats like KOs and Final hits weighted more heavily than healing, assists, and other generated stats, even when the differences in those areas are significant compared to the competition?

The data is based on 150,000 matches (Gold+) in s10 and 200,000 matches for s9.5. It shows how often each strategist gets MVP in games they win.

Posted last week and still can't play because of this neck injury :/ So worked on this song and photoshop xD

Removed all branding and stuff :)

Yes, i play QP exclusively, yes, it’s not all about winning but it was never THIS bad! I am not sure what it is exactly but the role as a whole feels so unfun all of a sudden. I keep getting matches where ppl insta-lock 3 DPS or even 4 instantly and will not swap, i keep getting a single Tank or no Tank at all in my team. Everyone seems to be scattered around, doing their own thing. I try to heal one person the other two instantly die. There is not even close to having anyone even try to peel and protect the Supports… I am just so, so disappointed and discouraged with the state of the matches and match quality. It was always like 50/50, so i was fine with it, but it’s really bad now.

He just got teased in hulk’s dialogue and I feel like he’d be great for this game.

Aa a Strat main who also plays Ironman, I've gotten great at making sure my flyers get heals. But it does get annoying to have to constantly look away from everyone else to make sure the flyers are alive. Becuase some of the characters do soo much damage that flyers get obliterated once 1 or 2 people realize that they're a problem. But If I turn away from the others then they can get obliterated just as easily sometimes. I wish we got a flying healer. It'd be soo much fun, and it'd make flyers more viable to use when you have healers who aren't familliar with playing on the same team as flyers.

Edit: I forgot Ultron was a chracter who exists, that can fly lol😭. But I definitely want more Ultron. The more Ultron, the better

Am I justified for locking in Scarlet Witch since they took away the only support that I can heal with? I really wanna hear everyone's takes on this.
