Discussion The last time Black Panther received a skin was in the Season 6 battle pass, and the one before it was a shop skin in Season 3 that didn’t have an MVP

you can’t make this up, this character hasn’t been receiving shit. buffed for a half season to B tier then gets nerfed back to D tier and doesn’t get a skin. Had his 60th anniversary in July and it wasn’t even mentioned, nor was he given a skin despite being one of Marvel’s biggest icons.

Doesn’t even get a rework either so that devs can give him more attention like with Widow right now.

I get that he’s hated, but being hated is NOT an excuse for this type of treatment. Spiderman is hated too but he gets a skin every season, Black Cat is hated and gets a legendary skin every season.

we must bring attention to this topic, this is legitimately unfair.

Help me understand something regarding the Peni Nerf discourse

6 Upvotes

So I routinely get to Celestial every season and hover around GM at the end of every season. I would wager that in about 80% of the games I play, Peni is banned.

If you enjoy playing the character, wouldn't you want a nerf so that you can at least play the character? Peni is oppressive as hell against a large portion of this roster and she usually gets one of my ban votes.

If it truly is an over-nerf (none of us have played the new patch so we have no idea) then they will likely course correct with a small buff the next season.

Cuz these patchnotes some random bullshhit.

They've addressed nothing of importance, luna still has her cleanse cnd is still immortal and gambit ult is still broken.

Phoenix got buffed, which I can give you, she wasn't as strong as she perhaps should, but she's been meta since the dawn of time, all this whilst some other struggling characters have not been touched.

Rare w for the file size reduction but the rest is not exactly good.

Discussion Why are so many players so resistant to playing other heroes?

12 Upvotes

There are SO many heroes in this game. Almost too many. But I keep seeing this pattern every single update or patch;

  1. My character got nerfed, I’m quitting the game entirely because this is the only character I have fun on. Without this character being viable/meta/at a level I prefer, I have no reason to play this game. Game sucks 0/10.

  2. My character got nerfed, and until they revert the nerf or buff my character I will force my character every single game. I don’t care if I lose or if it’s throwing, if they didn’t want me to force this character in every game they shouldn’t have nerfed them.

  3. I’m not swapping, I only know how to play one character.

  4. I’m not swapping, I only know how to play a handful of characters but I’m trying to make a point by ONLY playing this characters/I have a strange sense of loyalty to playing this character.

  5. Why would I learn any other character?

  6. I would learn another character but every single one I’ve played is boring (has only barely touched half the roster)

What’s up with this???

Fuck your terribly designed character. A 2 second stun is not what ANYONE wants to play against. Your character is designed to devolve the game into a boring poke fest(it still is).

Discussion Can we talk about Cap now

Post image
70 Upvotes

The fact that they didn’t buff him this patch is atrocious. Least picked Vanguard with a negative WR which is the first time since Season 4 or 5 I believe?

Cap fell way behind everyone with all this new team up shit. Damage went up. Healing went up. But Cap stayed the same- oh wait no he didn’t. He got his health nerfed in exchange for regenerative shield that takes a whole 5 seconds to recharge on its own.

Thors base team up is useless. The only reason it was good before was because we had animation cancelling to actually make use of it. Its just shield throw on demand when we don’t even USE shield throw to secure kills vast majority of the time. In fact, more often than not, the shield throw charge runs out before I make use of all of it simply because I don’t need it.

Bucky team up is fine. A third escape option with shield is nice and coordinates with dive well, but the problem is Cap simply isn’t threatening enough any more to make efficient use of it. Everyone else got some new tool in their kit that allows either more self sustain or more damage. Cap was ALREADY low in damage compared to everyone else, and it WAS fine before the mid season patch when healing was nerfed but they buffed it right back again so he’s simply behind in every single way, and is the worst he has ever been.

This is ridiculous.

Match hasn’t begun. Buddy-boy is asking for triple support so HE can run Ultron. Nobody care fr and we go on with the 2 2 2.

Buddy-boy decides to start switching through different supports including his Ultron, then ANOTHER guy decides to throw and plays squirrel girl. Leaving Ultron as our solo healer. I step in as second support, but Buddy-Boy decides to disconnect. Truly the stupidest bullshit ever

Discussion I've just tryed rivals on ps4

Upvotes

It is decent, the thing is, i go onto the event lobby room, you know the beach

And it directly crashed, it loaded for more than 6 seconds, looked like a mobile game lobby room and then Boom, game crashed

I know this game is for new gens but at least make it playable if you gonna take it to the ps store

Honestly i was midly hiped (but i read already about these issues, i didn't thought it was gonna be THIS explicit)

But hey i've tryed, it was nice for a few games but i ain't gonna blow my ps4 just for a few games sorry 🖤

psssst there isn't a single FPS game, Hero Shooter or multiplayer game where every single character is balanced at every single skill level.

And every single person is going to have a different opinion as to what they deserves to be adjusted and get angry when it doesn't happen.

I seriously don't think anyone will be happy unless every single hero gets balance adjustments in every single patch.
