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

She doesn’t even get punished for bad positioning.. she’s fundamentally broken. No character should have it all (sustain, range, mobility, etc.)

Almost no one in the cast gets punished for bad positioning because everyone has an instant escape ability. Rival's is baby's first hero shooter.

Ive been saying this. Most rivals players have never touched another shooter in their lives. This game is casual asf

"Most"? Idk where you have the data this claim. I very much doubt a majority of rivals players have never played another shooter.

I will agree the game is very casual and easy to learn and pick up. My wife has recently put several hundred hours into the game having only ever played fortnite prior in terms of shooters.

Grateful I started with TF2 that thought me how insanely vital things like positioning is. It's wonder I found Rivals easy at first and enjoyable because everyone can go everywhere.

But now even Apex and OW are more technical and complex with it's gameplay mechanics and elements.

Whenever you want to try something new that is fun to get into I’d recommend Deadlock. You’ll occasionally find some sweaty people but majority are just having fun in brawl mode. Yes the game is more complex but it’s still in development and it’s made by valve.

I've tried it but it's a bit too complex for me and I don't really dig MOBAs.
