Opinions on the Marvel Rivals World Cup so far:
- wish there was more advertisement in general
- It’s good that they got people who are familiar with the game but don’t main rivals, great for reaching a new audience
- if you’re going to get invited to a $300,000 tournament, probably should learn more than squirrel girl (a lot of people would give anything for an opportunity like this)
- a lot of visibility to different countries and streamers like team Brazil which had really good players and team America United who kicked our ass 2-0
- this is the first test run for a World Cup in Marvel Rivals. Hopefully it grows into something beautiful. Would LOVE to have more countries participate and also more LAN events 👀
What are your guys thoughts and did I miss anything?
Day 2 thoughts:
Metagross is insane as expected, Swampert shockingly good with wave crash, Mawile is good but the meta is pretty hostile to it rn, raichu X I'm deeply unsure of but I haven't played much of it, Staraptor is YouTube content and will struggle in high level play
Gambit with all these nerfs has been OP/ Best in slot since his release, nigga in 1 patch we just watched black cat go from S tier to D tier. Crazy work bro
@Micha86907124@NotRaizu that argument makes sense for anyone other than black cat they literally gave her everything. I dont agree with the way they nerfed her but she has psylock, things, gambits, and dd's abilities in her shop menu you have to make her very difficult to get value with.
@PenaldoIsAFraud@NotRaizu I mean if you halved Strange dmg, removed his shield, but gave him a 2nd use of portal I dont think he would be better. Utility doesnt matter much if a character cant do its basic function, in BC case its killing.
@Micha86907124@NotRaizu thats what utiliy is? she can still go invisible, make a portal, ground people, cleanse herself, has an i frame. She got the bp treatment is the sense of increasing costs/cooldowns for less engagments, shes way worse yes but saying shes on par with bp and storm is insane
@PenaldoIsAFraud@NotRaizu A character cant live on utility itself, it need to do something, deal damage/heal or make space and she does none. You could remove her shop and keep the 2nd dash/old ult/old money gen and she would be better than current kitty
@Micha86907124@NotRaizu bp will forever be the worst dive character in the game simply because the room for error is so small black cat still has i frames and multiple escape tools its literally impossible for black cat to be "bad" with all the utility she has
@PenaldoIsAFraud@NotRaizu the only issue with her was no cd on the shop, absurd range on her ult and i frames. But instead of fixing them, they deleted the hero from the game.
She is worse than Black Panther as Panther now doesnt need to build up resource to get his damage.
@Micha86907124@NotRaizu everything you said is a result of her being ridiculous on release, if she came out with her current state she wouldn't be seen as bad at all youre just comparing it do her broken release state
@PenaldoIsAFraud@NotRaizu They gutted her money gen
They removed her 2nd dash
They made the scanning orb useless
Everything is more expensive
Her Iframe dash now has no reg
