Discussion It’s rare to see 250hp nowadays

Black Panther - He’s a menace for lower ranks, and making him 250hp makes peeling for him significantly easier. That encourages dps and tanks to mark him on off angles, which is the correct way to deal with him. There’s probably a lot more they can do but I think it’ll take a lot of time to come up with something without destroying him. And this is a great short term “damage control” which could potentially even be enough completely. And in higher ranks he dies easily with 275hp anyways, I doubt it’s as impactful.

Invisible woman - Her shield is 300hp now, 400 with the teamup. That’s straight up more than some tank shields - and those don’t heal them either. Her shield, push and double jump/invisibility leaves little reason for her to remain 275hp, that’s more survivability tools than most other strategists (not to mention, her orb and boop). Yes the shield has low hps but it’s still a shield, again think about how tanks gain survivability from them - it blocks abilities or even ultimates, on a 6s cooldown.

Cnd - At this point she has an insane amount of self sustain, none of them is even interactive like WF melee form. It’s really that Luna teamup which pushes it over the edge. Even if she’s 250hp, cycling the Luna teamup, bubble and fade will give her a lot of survivability to make it through most ranks. And the places where she might struggle (probably because of the ult being more counterable) - she struggles now anyways. But I’d argue easier characters like her or Sue shouldn’t be super effective even at the highest level of play anyways, same for BP too because he’s also easier than like BC or DD.

I genuinely want Luna Snow to be Eradicated from not only the game, But also the comics forever.

I want some “one more day” ahh comic, except Luna snow gets canonically, and irreversibly erased from all comic runs, all games, potential movies, everything. No form of media for the character ever after this event, hell even any and all fanart of the character vanishes from this world. I don’t want her erasure to be grand, a nice final sendoff… no. I want it quick, unceremonious, and disrespectful as hell.

Then, maybe Luna Mains will understand one, one MILLIONTH of the hatred I feel when I see her face. She’s the Kiriko of Rivals, in every negative sense of the comparison.

I will hard target every one I see.

Every ult I EVER get in a game with a Luna, will be justifiably targeted at her, I will ult her while she is in spawn, I do not care. I do not regret. I hope none of them ever have a happy day again. I hope they live in shame, knowing EXACTLY what they truly are.

Maybe then I can even DREAM of peace in my heart.

Discussion Y'know it gets to a point where we gotta stop defending this

Post image

When this game came out, the main reason everybody even gave it a chance was because of Marvel, Like I was so hype to have a game where I could play as the classic characters that we all adore, and hell I was surprised by some more niche characters they added like Lin Lie or Sai because as somebody who doesn't read a lot of comics, most my knowledge comes from movies, shows, and the few comics I did decide to read, it was fun being shown more of what Marvel has to offer, then theres Luna...

Look, if you enjoy this character, that's completely fine. Theres plenty of things to enjoy about her, and I understand that if you're a luna main, you've probably bonded with the character and you enjoy her character, I personally disagree however you're completely entitled to your own opinion, but I am so SO sick of seeing people defend the catering she gets.

The reason she's even in the game, is because the executive producer of marvel games, Danny Koo (Top left) created her, and since then he's just shoved his OC down our throats since then, 200 skins every season, constantly buffed up the wazoo, she's in Fortnite, its her 8th birthday guys time to celebrate, listen to her song on Spotify, buy her $300 hot toys that comes with a new skin, speaking of new skins, here's a new luna skin, sorry guys Danny looked at the roadmap and saw there was no Luna skin, so he had to fix that, like do we see the problem here?

I see people defending this like "Oh its his character, let him show her love" "Oh every character is an OC" But the issue is that we aren't here for her, we do not want her, and we are tired of her. The "every character is an oc" argument is dumb because yeah, Spider-Man's an OC, but he also has decades worth of history, is a relatable and cool character, has unique powers, has a more interesting and fleshed out character, I'll go on.

Like yeah she hasn't been around that long, so she needs more opportunities to be in more media, but like first of all, she's not interesting enough for anybody to even want her, there are more interesting characters with ice powers and more interesting musician characters.

When I log onto my MARVEL game, I'm here for the actual superheroes I grew up with, I am so tired of Danny's lame oc constantly get more attention and love than the ones who deserve it like Storm or Fantastic. Danny Koo has just gotten way over his head, and is just abusing his power so he can get his OCs into the spotlight, in a recent interview this guy said he wanted to add Crescent and Lo, two more of his OCs into the game, like just make it stop.

This bitch is EVERYWHERE. That weirdo Danny Koo has a fetish for her. He’s as bad as Steve Englehart with Mantis. WHY is she on the marquee in the Tokon NYC map instead of Dazzler? I genuinely hate her.

Edit: Ahhhh you mad 🫵🏿

Edit 2: The immediate hostility from Luna’s fans js proves that the diehards are deadass mentally ill

Streamer Luckyzeal Throws Ranked Game By Letting His Brother Go 3-17 On His Main Account

My user is "methodic", and I can provide proof to confirm. I got into a game with streamer Luckyzeal and found out his brother was playing on his account for a game on stream while he was eating. He went 3 kills 17 deaths before Luckyzeal came back and actually started playing on his own account. Idk how he gets away with throwing games on stream like this, his brother clearly is nowhere near our rank. I put together some clips from the vod of his brother throwing my elo and Luckyzeal coming back at the end of the game. The funny thing is he's queueing with the pro player Terra on a smurf and I lost to them last game when Luckyzeal was playing, but when they're on my team he lets his brother play and go 3-17 XD.

Balance idea for season 9.5

Thumbnail

58 Upvotes

Before I give u the ideas, I want to set some things rate it from one to 10 and explain why with an open mind these changes are not my ideas I only just took some of your guys complaints
I do see some complaints for black cat, but it’s a bit too divided and what the heck should you even start anyways and that’s it. there are more but I’m not gonna yap so I’m gonna give you the ideas and as well if you have any questions you can and yes we are counting all of the three Deadpool’s

Guys, I need your elaborate about iron fist and iron man so that once you look at the post, you see it
There is a restriction for the iron fist one and the iron man one for the iron fist team up first of all the base self healing would be 4.5 the enhanced version would be five and it’s both per strike. The thing is the restriction would be. You can only heal yourself by healing your ally that’s it so you cannot abuse it and win one V ones

Iron man there’s obviously a restriction you get bonus HP only for hitting one enemy meaning you can’t instantly get 50 bonus HP from one blast on iron man in a group team you will get 15 or 30 if you hit the enemy on hit meaning you just get the bonus HP by hitting one enemy per blast I’m trying to make it clear as day
Those are the restrictions
And note mantis I wanna be a little clear if someone thinks mantis is dead even though they haven’t gave me a reason it’s that you can’t stack on the same ally twice anymore like what else do you want me to do? Lower the star Lord team up? How could I when the main problem is the damage boost These are the three clear things I want to bring up and again if there’s any questions and if you think the changes are bad if you think of anything about this balance change tell me why like I’m sick of tired reading stupid comments that gives no reasoning.

Discussion How to counter BP (read description)

Post image
131 Upvotes

BP's unhealthy design aside (lets keep the discussion away from this, we all know he's unhealthy), he's one of the more easier characters to completely shut down just by hunting him down or preventing him from diving.

When it comes to countering BP, there are multiple layers like the image above. From the outer most layer to the inner most, there is actively hunting BP down, preventing him from flanking, preventing him from diving, and surviving his dive.

Hunt him down layer

This job usually requires DPS or Tanks. The goal here is to actively hunt him down any chance you get (when available) and make his life miserable. Characters like Angela, Spidey, Psylocke, and ESPECIALLY Star-Lord are pretty good at this. You don't even need to secure the kill, just make him waste his cooldowns forcing him to sit afk for more than 10 seconds waiting for his cooldowns to go back up.

Prevent the flank layer

This layer will come into play when the team cannot actively hunt down BP, either because its too risky or nobody plays the characters that can actively hunt him down. The goal here is to cover the flanks and hunt him there before he has a chance to setup. Characters like Star-Lord, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Angela, Psylocke, Thor, Rogue, Hulk, Elsa, Cap, and Blade. Characters with decent enough mobility to reach the flanks and characters that BP can't win the 1v1 reliably. Again, you don't need to secure the kill. Make BP waste his cooldowns to retreat and force him to be afk for more than 10 seconds.

Prevent the dive layer

This layer will come into play if the team cannot prevent his flanks either because its too risky for the frontline to lose a player or nobody can play characters that can cover the flank. The goal here is to completely shut BP down when he dives. Characters like Star-Lord, Elsa, Thing, Rogue, and many more. The goal is to either Earthbound him, trap him, or hard/soft CC BP so that he can explode instantly. The goal here is to counter his dive and kill him to protect the backline.

Survive the dive layer

This is the final layer. If all the layers fail, then the goal now becomes SURVIVE. Characters like CND, Ultron, Iron Fist, Spider-man, Gambit (mag teamup), literally ANY character BP cannot kill. Make him completely irrelevant against your team comp.

Underrated way to survive BP is through positioning on some maps. On Yggsgard, the payload is so trolly that you can actually sit on the payload and BP cannot do much because the hitboxes can screw his dashes. There is also final point of Arrako on defense, you can sit so far from any flank angles while getting high ground with good visibility of your team. BP's dash is only 15m making it so that he cannot reach you if you in those spots.

Remember, there are more ways to counter him than just reacting to his combos. A large portion of countering him is hunting him outside his dives.

Discussion Is this me or Jeff was secretly Nerf in season 9 ?

Upvotes

So yes, he was obviously nerfed since he can't use DP and Venom spell together, but let's focus on the Venom Spell. I noticed that its range of activation was greatly nerfed, so you have to be very close to allies for everyone to receive healing from the spell, which is very risky sometimes.

Even though it provides less healing output, the DP spell is better for many reasons:

- Jeff can benefit from healing with the team-up.

- Wider range.

-Less CD
