My favorite part of this game is you can still call out a widow, and people’s brains just register.

[foxferguson]

I think that catering to the people that want to play for fun is just so much healthier for the game rather than balancing for competitive players

[grantmitchel]

Instead of a traditional role que maybe they could grant an xp bonus for selecting the recommended role?

[DeathByZombieGames]

My favorite part of this game is when there's 2 doctor stranges in the same game and they both put a portal down my fps just goes straight to 0 😭

[macbait]

Every time a Dr Strange opens a portal my PC lags like it was sucked into it for real.

I love that, overall, it feels like a polished and well established game. Definitely has some optimisation issues, but to release in such a finished state for a free to play game, is impressive.

Also damn, those instant que pops are nice.

The dedicated hero tutorials (even if not every hero gets one) is something Overwatch should try to copy.

[DrWavy-fqqk]

I really want this game to do amazing, cuz overwatch having such a direct competitor will result in both games innovating and pushing new ideas. I want the timeline where we win in both games

"I was a little bit older when I swapped. Like 21 or 22."

I can feel my body disintegrating from how insane this statement is.

I was also the person who picked up the "less popular" roles like tank and support, because i was less mechanically gifted, and I wanted to at least allow everyone else to have fun. Like flats, I came to OW1 on PC from console in 2018, and I sucked at aiming and poking.

In OW1 I basically followed flats mentality of "Im not as good as the 5 dudes playing dps on the team, so Ill just play tank/sup and enable them and have fun doing that." 12:28

But honestly, now ive gotten pretty good mechanically. Ive gotten especially good at fast placed, high movement, assassin like gameplay cause of playing lucio and ball.

Now with Spider-man, Im so ready to become the selfish dps one-trick. Hes incredibly fun to play and I love having a melee assasain high mobility dps who can wallride like Lucio and grapple like Ball. I love this character so much, he combines alot of my favorite things and is a dps on top of that.

Overall im super excited for this game. I dont want it to kill Overwatch (or my beloved wreckingball and lucio) but i DO hope it does well.

[Weightsss]

It’s not gonna be an Overwatch killer, which I’m glad it won’t because it’s not about trying to kill other games but to HAVE different games.
This is a fun game for sure. 100%
Literally have a ball just fighting with overpowered balanced gameplay, but OW will have its lane and Rivals will have its own.
And that’s good to see!
I just play this and have a blast with whoever. Hope to see more of this game grow!!

[thegreenhood]

I love Role Quee in Overwatch. I hope it never comes to Marvel Rivals. Let Overwatch be the competitive game and keep Marvel Rivals as the fun chaotic battle felid.

I actually draw more similarities between Marvel Rivals and TF2 in hero design. Let every hero be op.

I don't care how many times I get blown up of thrown off the map. As long as I can do that stuff sometimes too.

- Jaded Tank Main

P.s. Tanking in Marvel Rivals is actually so much fun.

[ajcorpus]

Flats’ words on being an open que tank was exactly my experience last night. I wanted to practice and actually get good with spiderman but I can’t play dps because if I did then we’d have one support taking care of 5 dps and no one would have fun on the game but at least the other characters in other roles are fun enough to where I don’t mind as much as like overwatch

[SkyHammerTPK]

I think my biggest gripe thus far is that it's not immediateiyl obvious which side of a match you're on, especially on something like payload maps where the enemy team can take control of it. Just something a bit more obvious would be nice.
But I think I generally agree, I'm thoroughly enjoying Rivals probably more than I thought I would but it doesn't quite itch the same scratch as OW does for me at least

[darkphantom]

For all people complaining about Rivals fps and lag. Please make sure to update your Nvidia drives as that helps the game so much

[cynUK]

The "unpack" thing isn't due to steam servers since its all done client side. Steam preloads get encrypted so people cant play the game before release so steam has to unencrypt and unpack after release so you can play. The unpack speed depends on how good your cpu and storage is.

[TeamPlasmaNowa]

What I think would be interesting is if they implemented a 3 per role limit. It would still allow you to swap between roles mid game but would also prevent those 4 or 5 dps blowout rounds where you rolled because everyone else played dps.

[winndlol]

12:13 this. I'm really liking the game but having max 60 fps on lowest graphics is really annoying, I hope they work out more optimization.

[Mario-tjnu]

Yeah, like KarQ is right about it sometimes sucks having no tank/healer, but at the same time a bunch of characters can kinda fill the tank role. Like Wolverine is a huge space taker, ironman can force people off of corners. It's not a one for one for sure, but these imbalanced comps work because most characters can kinda do multiple things. The playstyles you can get out of each character can work and it works well.

[McSmurfy]

I also love how they inform you when going to buy something from the store, how much of the 'gold' currency you need to purchase (they also show, if you have units, the gold + units so that you know exactly how much you need to buy).
