It's disgenous to compare a F2P hero shooter with a $60 Fighting game and 2 mobile games and act surprised when they don't pull the same numbers. If it didn't have the Marvel IP Rivals would have NEVER been as popular see Fragpunk, Strinova & Highguard as examples of this.
Why isn't the Marvel IP enough to carry these other Marvel games in the market right now, btw?
The IP is 100% an introduction into a genre but then the game and how it presents itself to the market is just as important, Rivals, flaws aside, is a good game.
@DanHunter556@centuryman2005@Aramori_ Pretty sure Warn started it clipping how she 'ruined the vibes' after he said he would swap way after they already lost and then posting that clip to twitter. Can't blame her for crashing out when he basically sold a tourney then got passive aggressive about it.
@DanHunter556@centuryman2005@Aramori_ No one is saying put the blame solely on him but you cant act like he wasn't the weakest link due to attitude and limited roster. If your OW GM DPS player says they cant play hitscan in rivals cause it doesn't feel the same and can only play like 3 DPS he should NOT be on DPS.
@DanHunter556@centuryman2005@Aramori_ They didn't do any better because they had a weak link on their team??? Surefour was the standout and trying do the work of 2 dps because Warn was useless and didn't just want to sit on support which would've helped immensely.
@angelicdrvg I heard a while back that those 15m restrictions aren't even real and are just to make it seem like they did something but I cant find any more proof on it now but even if they do something it seems like a slap on the wrist and I've never seen them escalate.
@angelicdrvg Yeah it always felt like rivals were playing were just looking for reasons to crash out or throw games and with some of the recent clips I've seen, it still seems to be a thing. I saw a clip of a guy getting called a monkey and the N word at the start of a game for 0 reason๐ญ๐ญ
@JackUtd3@Collinpt21 Jay3 I haven't mentioned cause all he did afaik was vaguepost about warn saying he should have played more heroes which is valid ara and doki can both flex and surefour is very good dps so running 3 supports with warn being one of them is like not a bad idea at all.
@JackUtd3@Collinpt21 Playing SG and Namor shouldn't have been a thing at all realistically as again he's a hitscan main in OW. He said he couldn't play hitscan in rivals cause it feels weird which is fair but if that's the case yeah put him on support as it requires the least skill to get value.
@JackUtd3@Collinpt21 I'd argue that men's mental health month is more time to hold men accountable and not enable self-victimization especially to creators who can/may garner a large male audience as all it does is promote more of that behaviour.
@JackUtd3@Collinpt21 I'm also all for holding misandry accountable too especially during mens mental health month but I've seen far more people shitting on Aramori than Warn and if you did the same with Zazza and Kingsman theres no way its not misogyny.
@JackUtd3@Collinpt21 Literally all of this cece did not zazza dont blame her for that. Also it doesn't matter she got money just for joining cause 300k is crazy amount for warn to just scoff at cause he wants to play squirrel girl.
300k and a T500 player why are you not giving it your all?
@LtgKingEli I played MR and OW but dropped rivals before new years and yeah this is very performative. "I was gonna play it" like what was stopping you exactly?
Its the same as when a game that people dont like gets a change they dont like "well now im not going to play it" YOU NEVER WERE
@angelicdrvg Back when it only had two bans per team my team banded together to ban ultron so I couldn't play him cause they didnt want play with an ultron like???
Not to mention rivals players will throw for the slightest inconvenience and call you every slur they can imagine.
Man throws a literal $300,000 tournament on squirrel girl
twitter: be nice to him omg hes just a babyyyy๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน
Woman plays widow in $40k tourny
twitter: AWFUL human being how DARE she play widow, SIX MONTHS of ENDLESS harassment and THREATS NOW!!!!!!!
women always just get the short end of the stick in esports its so sad like literally just look at how aramori is being treated right now in her replies for wanting to try to win the tournament, just full of disgusting animals who always favor men in any situation.
@JackUtd3@Collinpt21 Zazza did the same shit as Warn and yall bullied the shit out of her and defended kingsman. But now when Aramori calls our Warn yall defend him and attack her. Just say yall hate women and be done with at this point. Not even just his fanbase but the rivals community as a whole.
@centuryman2005@Aramori_ "why not just carry your teammate" why not just have them pull their weight. What kind of champ OW player can only play basically 2 Heroes on DPS. Especially when he was known play hitscan in GM. IDK how this is toxic for just saying to be flexible with 300k on the line.
