Thoughts on Marvel Rivals?

[RogerRogerd]

Just dropped, have had plenty of fun so far. Feels at its core like Overwatch but maybe 10% more fun. I was never a big OW guy but I played it a decent amount. The roster is packed and theres plenty of cool people to play imo compared to most games. Most champion/fighters I only ever start with 2 or 3 but theres plenty of choices for me.
Big issues is the shitty ass battlepass progression system. Its clearly designed like a mobile game where you dont get "XP" or progress from actually playing the game rather you get "currency" (not a lot mind you) for completing achievments. Really ass.
The character designs are little over the top but most of them are cool.
Game balance feels a little all over the place but the only hero I feel is a little too strong is maybe Venom or Hela. There are a couple characters that definitely need changes (Loki).
For a free beta would recommend 8/10.

Im still playing. I feel like its less skill and more so game understanding. Such as character role ( main tank ? Dive tank ? Hybrid ? Main healer ?) , positioning, timing (when to dive, flank, peel, push,pull back). Its a team game at the end of the day anyways. You need to be skilled in your role and not character.

This game is more macro heavy than anything tbh. People focus on the impact/winrates of characters individually but should think about character matchups and team ups. A good Peni Parker or Luna stun can knock an Iron Man out of the sky, Rocket is good for healing characters that jump around and fly, do you have a strong front line or do you have too many grounded characters? etc etc.
