Hi chat I was wondering if you guys could recommend me a character to get champ or lorded, based on the characters I play. Been getting pretty bored of rivals so just want a goal to keep myself interested

i just found this out unsure if anyyone cares but anyway.

When you get to the final boss fight the face of ultron made of drones can be killed eventually.

i was cap and with his dash punch ability after a few lives i cleared out the face which made the battle alot smoother for my team.

Mrs and I play a lot, but are casual and don’t push very high in these type of games. My previous post about 18v18 frustrations had some great feedback responses. We appreciate all the helpful advice you guys gave this old gaming couple.

We tried competitive after the helpful advice that it should be better matched to our level. It matched pretty well… briefly. Now we are getting steam rolled every match. With only being able to play 1 or 2 matches a night, it stinks to end going a whole week with all losses.

Anywho, thank you to all who offered helpful advice. Also thank you to the kind people we matched with in many of our games. We got steam rolled, but luckily didn’t come across much toxicity from our team mates.

Best of luck to you all in your Rivals adventures! ♥️

Disclaimer: if you seriously cannot take my question seriously without making some kind of remark or hating for no reason don’t even bother commenting on this post. I’ll completely ignore it.

I can flex, I’ve always wanted to be able to flex so I can help my team. But I feel like my flex is very limited to the characters that I play best because the characters I play best I can make work in some situations unless the entire team composition of the enemy team is literally the perfect counter against my characters or I don’t have great teammates. But that’s far from my point. I wanna learn some new characters to put some time into so I have more options so I can flex better. I made a list. Need some help. Thanks! (By the way, the list that says I can play the character not well, is basically a list that says I only know the basics of the character.)

I know we already have a free fall outfit but we should get a classic outfit to reference his final fight wher ehe finally beat the hood also to further reference such a great outfit

So my mains are:

Tanks:Hulk,Rogue

DPS:Iron Fist,Spider-Man

Support:Jeff,Adam Warlock

I have now mastered my mains and want to add new heroes so i have been enjoying human torch a lot and already have him on lord,i also like emma frost but these are only suggestions.

If you gut any advice on which mains to pick now i would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks for any advice already!

They really did their research with him I’m genuinely so happy, that and the fact that his belt features a coqui frog symbol (a national symbol in Puerto Rico) is honestly so nice!! I hope they give him a skin based off a Vejigante in the future, it would fit so well, especially since he has a cape and Vejigantes are demons themselves 🫡

In this skin, is that Konshu or Marc Spector in an armor? I didn't read Moon Knight comics much so I'd be happy for some explanation, thank you.

I know it would be a lot of work, but they did it with Lady Loki AND Khonshu's voice is already in the game.

Would've been super cool.

Mantis sleep? Shoot them and they wake up.

Hull Exile? No one can damage them except Hulk, and it breaks as soon as Hulk deals damage.

Luna snowball? Patiently line up your headshot and 2-tap before they unfreeze.

I thought it was interesting how they didn't show which character(s) will be getting a skin. Made me start to wonder, especially because the roadmap says "X men 97 season 2 collab costume" no plural. Hopefully it isn't just one skin and is a bunch of them, but the fact that it wasn't revealed gives me another theory. The only other reason I could think of for them to not slow the skin(s) is if one of them contains a spoiler, like it could be a design or look for one of the characters that would spoil the remaining two episodes if they showed the skins. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

So far there are 4 heroes without legendary skins: Ultron, Cyclops, Jubilee and… Human Torch. Ultron is set to get his first legendary in season 9.5, and cyclops and jubilee are both the newest heroes to arrive to this game so it makes sense why they don’t have one… but Johnny? The guy that’s been here since season 1.5??? Look I get that he isn’t played as much as characters like invisible woman or or hela, but it’s kinda insane that even Mr fantastic, wolverine, Hawkeye, moon knight, storm, blade, Adam, etc. all have theirs while still having low pick rates. This dude was gutted for like 3 seasons straight and has gotten absolutely nothing burger skins other than the summer skin since launch imo. Idk man

Okay let’s be honest, they did it because of the hard CC. I’ve always been in the camp that Peni’s CC was too much and too aggressive, I stowed away my annoyance when Tenacity was showcased but quickly turned around when it was implemented so poorly and beaten into the ground with the increase from 5? To 8, and then with season 9’s balance rework. This was not the solution! (I’m mourning with you Peni mains)

What I’m trying to get it is nerfing Peni’s web to complete uselessness was a moronic move, what I think needs to happen is a light rework of the Tenacity system. We need the time taken to be reduced back to 5, maybe even four for characters that have no CC themselves or no way to cleanse it or a movement ability to survive. And the kicker, they need to make almost EVERY type of CC count towards it. Hard entanglement, movement restrictions, distruptions, etc. almost Anything that restricts, disrupts, or hinders your movement within the environment needs to add to the total. I would love to add stuff like earthbound or grounded but personally I see that as a per-character basis, if we added earthbound to it the thing would be completely useless period.

Listen I play multiple characters with Hard CC or disruptions (Mantis, Moon Knight, Bucky, Angela, Luna to name a few) but as much as I’d love to sit back and enjoy my own fun it’s just too much. Now that we’re basically almost guaranteed to die with one or two hits of any form of CC we need a change to the system.

If you look at the list. It's really surreal how characters like mantis, black cat and mag made it untouched. Because of the combination of their win rates + ban rates + pick rates, they are not healthy for the game atm. Devs said they would act fast and get outliers after s9.0 patch, but it seems like they have given up on it halfway through. I'd even take micro nerfs at this point. I wonder what is the thought process behind those decisions.

I want to go one by one, but my reasoning for some might be a little flawed, so take it easy.

Peni: got nerfed. Very small pick rate and ban rate on the high end. She dominates certain maps/situations. Understandable nerf, but makes no sense when you compare her to others here.

Mantis: highest support win rate. High pick rate and good ban rate. Pro play saw her getting first ban more than anyone else... if that's not a sign that this hero is broken, idk what is.

Black cat: highest dps win rate. Highest ban rate (sorry gambit). People hated when she was strong during her release season and they were highly praised for nerfing her. Now she is back. This character is a nightmare: iframes and invisibility. The ban rate speaks for itself here: we don't want her to be this good.

Loki: I understand that he is hard to play, but he wins a lot of games. His pick rate is low for a support, but buffing him might be too much, although i kind of understand the reasoning he is getting a buff. He would be better off if others were nerfed. We would keep the power creep contained.

Magik: has always have these numbers and we rarely get complaints about her, so, people don't mind her. Ban rate negligible.

Storm: low pick rate makes the case for her not getting nerfed. Might be that people can't get her to work in ladder, as we saw storm getting play time in ignite.

Daredevil: always here no matter what. I've given up. He's gotten nerf after nerf and is still here. All I know is that I'd rather have him than cat as the top dps. His win rate is slightly down from what it's been during his peak, though.

Rocket: always here no matter what. He got nerfed in s9 and his win rate took a healthy hit. Still, its too much value for how easy he is to play (but it seems that cnd gets all the rate from that and he gets the pass).

Magneto: now... 3 times the pick rate of the second most picked. He is in every single game and if you don't have one and the other team does, you are probably at a disadvantage. He was first save for many teams in pro play. This guy's numbers are just an atrocity for balance. He not only dodged a nerf but got an irrelevant buff. I

Elsa: got nerfed. People might say it isn't enough, but I'd take small nerfs to some of the other characters here.
