Im so glad rivals came out in pretty good time for yall to be able to make content on this after deciding destiny wasnt it anymore

[jake_c_]

I would LOVE to see similar breakdowns for tank and support. Your analytic/comedic commentary always clicks with my brain!

[Jonap]

In my opinion, magik is a hybrid 60/40 brawler flanker, brawling gives her shield and all that great stuff but she also wants to build up that shield so she can dive squishes especially with her ult

[GooberLeague]

Magik is at least part flanker. She can flank, pick a squishy, then teleport out.

[knaltor]

Me personally I'd put Storm in Poker/Brawler/Sustainer with no Flanker in there. The only time I've seen Storms deliberately go into the back line is during her ultimate.

11:59 It is very funny how you mentioned going from Hawkeye to Winter Soldier because that is the exact thing my friend did and now he’s a Bucky one trick. I’m trying to get him to expand his roster but he’s really been enjoying playing as Bucky.

[Howwowknight]

some of these feel off. Namor as a sustainer wouldnt be considered a counter to flankers in this video, but is probably one their biggest counters in the game.

[sonicrose]

Iron Man is a Sustainer/Flanker just happens to also have range but mobility, stealth, and flanking and armor mode the backline is how he rolls. Sneak around with your flight, absolutely body the backline from random directions at random ranges then use unibeam for high sustained damage on the tanks.

[john_hunter_]

I think Magik is also a flanker to some extent. She can have very high burst damage that can quickly finish off a squishy.

[AquaStyles]

Poppin Often With Lofton has something for similar but for tanks: Strategic, Shield, and dive.
Strategic tanks (Peni, and Groot): have kits to maximize taking advantage of opportunities and mistakes, basically play making
Shield tanks (Strange and Magneto): Focus on providing protection for their teammates so other people can make plays
Dive Tanks (Cap, Hulk, Thor, and Venom): Make distractions so more opportunities can be made
What do you think about these classifications?

[dogsaysarf]

I mainly agree for all except for two, moon knight and storm. Moon knight i think is more of a 60 sustain and 40 flanker due to his one shot potential off his ankh combo. Having a great high ground angle against the backline and being undetected just helps him do his ankh combo without them being able to destroy it right away

As for storm, I think she is a 50/50 on sustain and poke. She cant really flank coz her movement is not really that good for escaping, and her aura just means its best to be with the team at all times.

[BLUCA-witf]

Alternate categories: Hit scan(long Ranged) --> Fliers --> Mele(or high dps drop off/projectile speed slow) --> Flankers (mobility) --> Hit scan

[anonymouskitten]

I’m so glad the algorithm brought me here. I was looking for that short the other day and couldn’t find it

[SurealBlurr]

Wolverine feels like more of a flanker to me. While he does have his main DR and cheat death, they only afford him maybe 5 seconds of relative safety on the frontline. To me it feels like his DR is meant to cover his awkward engage/positioning dance after coming out of an off angle, so he can consistently get into main and directly behind an enemy tank without falling over immediately, and then use his leap as a disengage as well as pull an enemy tank along with him.

He's like a tank assassin! 80/20 flanker/brawler? Something like that.

[joshbridges]

Magik is a flanker, and a brawler. She' plays as a DPS that can play with the tank in team fights, peel for the support, and also dive backlines/punish bad positioning.

[sselesUneeuQ]

9:12 I haven't played much of Storm in S1 but I don't see how she has much flanking potential unless you're counting her ult. She has such bad movement that flanking is leaves her as a flying duck. Maybe if she were mercy moth (god forbid) flanking would feel good on her. I think she's pretty firmly in the brawler category though in my opinion. She can do a lot on the front lines of either buffing her team's speed or buffing their damage. She debuffs the enemies speed (but it might only be with her powerup which I think is E by default. forget the name of it) or she has automatic AOE damage. This makes her really good at either defending supports or applying good pressure to the the brawlers on the front line.

[tyisamess]

I’d argue that iron man is also a flanker because you can pull off some backline assassinations using his impowered form.

[andybeyer]

You could almost make a chart like that political compass thing: one axis is Sustain/Hit & run, other axis is long range/ close range

[sselesUneeuQ]

1:00 I would say Hawkeye is a flanker/poke, but he has really good defense against the other flankers who often attack him. A little SHIFT-slash and then quickly line up a shot or use your melee to try to block attacks.

Black Widow has felt easier as a poker to counter single flankers with her stun to me, but she feels more like what you would describe as a brawler or sustainer. She has pretty good damage output and she can run around in the fight in order to out maneuver multiple flankers while finding opportunities to drop 50% or more of their HP and she can hammer tanks pretty hard with their large headshot hitboxes. (She definitely feels like a poker/flanker more similar to hawkeye though because I usually end up just backlining the supports or shooting on off-angles at squishies. It just wholly depends on the team I'm up against.)
