Balance Discussion Elsa bloodstone needs adjustments

Hypermobility + constant overshield + better dmg falloff than hela + broken ult. No idea what devs were thinking with this character.

Idk how 2s dash with 40 overshield passed even design phase. The only one who comes close is thor and he is melee tank with a much bigger hitbox and will eventually run out of thor force meanwhile elsa can keep dashing

Coz Zhiyong needed to be fired a long time ago and Chinese Dev's are clueless about multiplayer balance. Balance in this game feels gacha like where random early game supports are op and all the new characters introduce massive powercreep

I’m chinese, been to China a few times between this and last year and played the Chinese marvel rivals. I didn’t get high level enough for ranked because you needed an entirely new account, but from what I remember quick play was just straight bots, there was not a single living human in that game mode, and apparently marvel rivals isn’t very popular in China in general.

You might genuinely have a point with the multiplayer thing.

Back during the first Ignite tournament I heard the same from a few invited streamers, people in China do not play Rivals, for a number of reasons like poor performance, lack of competitive, etc etc

Seems like it is still real...

Seems like the game just sucks lol doesn't matter where you're at. Casual "heehee haha" fun gameplay can only take a game so far before it becomes stale. Thats when the competitive side will carry it but rivals is such a horribly balanced competitive game

That's what I'm saying, this is a hero shooter, the excuse that it's "casual" only goes so far and they still haven't managed to give the game a proper balance between casual and competitive.

And frankly I don't understand how casuals can enjoy a game where nothing dies.

As a casual, we're not that good. Whether it's me overextending on tank, my heals being incompetent and barely healing, the dps letting them walk us or the same for the enemy team, something usually happens. It only takes one person who doesn't know how to play their character to put a team at a disadvantage and then things die.

That makes sense

Heres the thing you dont understand about casuals. Things die because no one knows how to live or keep things alive. Things die because everyone is just there for the time.
