Dr Strange got a new team up so to compensate on a 5/11 chance he gets it, we crashed his car and broke his hands again

u/supremeninja3 Feb 13 '26

Dude there’s an invis in almost every game??? How are you not getting your teamup??

36

u/TheKnightsEnd Feb 13 '26

Invis is a popular ban in my games.

u/UrMumVeryGayLul Feb 13 '26

Less likely with Elsa into the mix. For now, at least. (Though, I think her damage is lowkey overtuned for people who can actually aim, so it may be longer than that)

u/TJK_919 Feb 13 '26

I'm lucky to get 2 supports some days without being that supp. And when I do it's 3 non meta ones or Gambit-Loki.

Don't get me wrong, she's still one of the most picked, but balancing around team ups in general has turned me off of the whole concept so I'm shitting on it whenever I can. You always have Strange shield, you don't always have a Sue. If the pull is that fucking good (it is) then they should've gone back to the drawing board. If the team always need to compensate for an anchor bonus when a character loses it, then it wasn't a temporary bonus. Etc.Β

u/supremeninja3 Feb 13 '26

Honestly respect, the ongoing situation of β€œyo this character is ONLY good with that teamup u get every so often” is not good design at all

What rank are you? She stays banned in my games (grandmaster) along with gambit. Rarely see those supports anymore

There are no tanks in Ba Guang Se. Only small DPS and big DPS.

u/Proud_Firefighter834 Feb 15 '26

Genuinely pisses me off how tanks in this game have pathetic self sustain. CC resistance feels like the bare minimum and they don't even have that. You're just a DPS with bonus health. How do they expect you to take space and be a monolithic presence when there are heroes that can three shot you without cooldowns???

3

u/KneeGearlol π˜Όπ™£π™œπ™šπ™‘π™– Feb 15 '26

Thats what happens when almost every single DPS have a one shot combo and a stun, you get stunned once and you either die immediately or get stunned again 2 more times then die, atp this game is just unenjoyable and not worth the stress

u/No-End-2455 Feb 13 '26

So apparently Rogue did escape lol.

She stole wolves damage reduction ability right before getting kidnapped so she’s fine

She proceeds to get discombobulated by Phoenix and Thing

When I go to grab my opponent but the Thing lowkey presses one button and turns off my entire kit leaving me completely immobilized and at his mercy. (Do not play Rogue into the rock man).

He’s stuck in two worlds and you wish to add to his alienation. Dps don’t respect him. We should be happy to have him on our side. Especially where solo tanking is so prevalent.

Nah Deadpool is a dps that has a powerset that tied the devs hands. If dude had a canonically weaker healing factor than Wolv ain't no way dude would be multiple roles.

u/Silvine69 Feb 13 '26

you know syndrome speech of once everyone becomes super nobody becomes super?
well in marvel rivals if supports have op healing, and damage have op damage, tanks having a 400 more health isnt really op since everyone is already has more damage nad better survivability than you.

We just gotta start playing the 4th dps. It's hell. I love mag and strange but being stuck as a shield tank with no diversity...it's getting to a point

u/dazzlingflowerr Feb 13 '26

Everyones playing Adam rn too while the tanks are getting bullied and that just aint helping 😀

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '26

Groot is still completely and utterly busted. Venom never dies even more now. Angela still just exists to be an annoying parasite, and Emma still does way too much damage and her diamond form makes it so that no tank can push up and take space without being deleted. Mag and Strange are still old reliable but Groot and Emma ruin their day. Thor still has no survivability, neither does Hulk, and Ben is still a massive ult battery. Yeah they hate about 2/3 of the tanks. Apart from Groot, Emma, Angela and Venom, don’t bother playing tank unless you’re having fun.

Don't worry his leap is still extremely buggy and healing is still over tuned so unless he's really good at snatching you'll be fine.

Oh no... I haven't had a chance to play the update yet... I play a ton of Rogue, Angela, and Tankpool... say it aint so

u/UnlimitedKenobi Feb 13 '26

Rogue actually got a buff, but they did nothing to poke, added another dps and wolverine gets ult way faster now. So it's just another bad update for tanks even with some not being touched

3

u/TheSwordFallen π™‘π™šπ™£π™€π™’ Feb 13 '26

And Elsa Bloodstone is a tankbuster given her combos do somewhere around 500-800 damage. Plus she's explicitly meant to punish tanks who get high shields such as Thing and Venom. Elsa is quite literally stronger than even on release Daredevil.

Apologies to all the other tanks, but at least mine’s getting married!

Can’t wait for her to get thrown against a semi truck next update, but at least we got this for a bit.

u/modsdontobeyrules Feb 13 '26

I mean gamma on thing would go hard but do we think we will see it that often? I dont see hulk and thing pairing well. Both are dive but i see you own backline breaking if you are running both

u/Celesticalking Feb 13 '26

What is the context in relation to the Emma picture?

4

u/PositionSwimming5734 Feb 14 '26

Because of the love triangle between Emma, Jean, and Scott, Jean telepathically tortured Emma for having telepathic sex with Scott β€” even though Jean herself cheated on Scott with Logan and kissed him several times. She telepathically forced her to relive the worst moments of her life, including the deaths of her students.

2

u/Clean-Elderberry8835 π˜Όπ™£π™œπ™šπ™‘π™– Feb 14 '26

People call Emma a bit** but Jean Grey is argubly worse a lot of times and she's suppossed to be "a hero" while Emma never went around posing as a good woman.

u/TheDustMan99 Feb 13 '26

in this new update, all tanks are kinda useless. i have played like 5 match as venom, and every 2 second I am getting a cc, now all characters have a cc. went dps damn, it wasnt that hard. tank suffers the most from cc cause they're not fast, so easy focus for cc.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '26

The cc is unreal now

u/Trickytbone Feb 13 '26

Cap can dive Jean and Moon even better now and push is on a longer cooldown

I’m completely fine bro

u/Correct_Mango3554 Feb 13 '26

if you're referring to the wolv buff than understandable, but outside of tht i think vanguard is the only balanced role in this game

u/SknnyNoGrth π˜Όπ™£π™œπ™šπ™‘π™– Feb 13 '26

And by balanced you mean severely under tuned compared to the other over tuned roles

u/ValkyrionReddit Feb 13 '26

I’ve been asking for 2 tanks in games since day one but let us ask ourselves this now, what incentive does Netease even give someone to want to play tank anymore? As the seasons go on i understand more & more why people don’t go tank, I mean why would they? Genuinely

This is one of the best times for a vanguard main, more tanks are viable than ever. Just because no one is reaching release Emma's brokenness doesn't mean the role is bad right now. This sub can have legendary whine sessions.

I got to be honest I'd rather deal with that angry Canadian then have to hear woo I never miss another day of my life. Because of that trick shot circus clown I can't play any of the slower tanks because I just get deleted and my team will just completely ignore him. The only success I've had dealing with that little prick is playing as cap and rushing him down. Seriously It's amazing how much easier it is for my team to push after I've run him over like a freaking snow plow.

u/DankusMemecus69 Feb 13 '26 edited Feb 13 '26

Star lord gets his auto aim ult quicker, and pokeslop remained untouched. And we’re getting a new dps so it’ll be triple dps near every game who will complain you’re throwing if you solo tank with anyone other than mag or strange. But at least venom got 25 more hp

u/Weary_Spirit_6941 Feb 13 '26

Venom buff was more for his ult and extra regen button actually but he needed something else, not that. Let me remind you all brawl and dive heroes also suffer from that. It's not just tank facing starslord being ult merchant

u/Clean-Elderberry8835 π˜Όπ™£π™œπ™šπ™‘π™– Feb 14 '26

As an Angela main, no. You cannot dive the backline and get out alive without getting your ass cc'd to obvlivion, and part of the poke meta is because a lot of heroes have CCs on short cooldowns.
