....$20 skin if you wanna unlock that Psylocke booty
Skin prices are tarded but it's the same in every game. You got plenty of booty without the skin. Venom has some serious cake.
The battle pass is well priced but the skins are for suckers won't argue that.

I'm the sucker who bought the Wolverine skin and I haven't played the game in weeks. I'm honestly completely over Marvel Rivals already and I'm really shocked it has the staying power it does.

Torch looks good and might be a new main for me but you will really need that Storm meta.
Thing isn't for me. Not into melee characters. Feels like the Hulk a bit and melee tanks aren't my thing. Having the fastball special in there when the Hulk already has that feels a bit lame.
The new map looks good though.
I think Torch is going to be very popular. The Thing don't see it. People already don't play tank and don't see how this will make the few tanks jump from Strange or Magneto. And Hulk has the crazy team up with Iron Man so I just don't see vanguard switching to him

Hey at least you didn't pay 59.99 for the game at full price and then get over it. You spent whatever 10 or 20$ on a skin and the game was free. Imagine you spent 40$ on Concord then you would probably be gay
Tier-list....the funny part is, guess who he says does dog shit damage and needs buffs over all other DPS.....doesn't even play the hero. No, guess

I got the skin for free using the free currency you get in the free battle pass and from achievements.
Well I must be doing something wrong or not collecting them somehow cuz I'm nowhere near the amount needed.

Are you redeeming your achievements? Make sure youre checking every page of the battle pass for the free currency.
Theyre also changing it so at the end of the season if you buy the battle pass your purple coins will convert into units.

Torch not so bad.
Thing is interesting but I feel you really need a good group of healers around and a teammate to jump too. But I also don't like melee characters.
New map is cool but only had one round.
Another month and a half till the next new heros.

So.....I should be buying the battle pass is what you're saying? Is it worth it? Cuz honestly, all the skins and shit in it I didn't care for.

Well only if you want at least some of the skins, but yeah you do get a ton of the premium currency.
I wouldnt buy it if you dont like any of it though.
Yeah so I redeemed all my achievements. But I only have 60 units. I wasn't clicking on the stupid gift box thing though to collect free shit, is that a daily thing? Like how would I even notice that. God I hate this UI.
Edit: also said fk it, bought the battle pass and $50 worth of the gold shit. Not even sure what I unlocked with the battlepass.

I will agree the free stuff is very confusing. I have a lot of hours in the game and I barely have any currency. I mean I have 6 or 7K of the useless currency. Sure I can buy some paints but most of the good stuff is locked behind the luxury pass. And a skin lol forget it.
I mean I get thats how they make money so they can't give me tons of free stuff but the time I put in I should at least have gotten enough cash to buy one or two skins from the store.
And you need to go to your stats and then unlock the gift boxes which isn't very clear and then you have to go to the battle pass and buy things that aren't marked luxury which again isn't very clear.
But all in all since the game was 100% free i can't be to upset. And i did get a free sue storm skin and the blue peni skin...

I think I figured it out mostly but still the currency is dumb af

Ima lose my shit playing this solo rank with retarded randoms, someone duo with me because my normal buds are not playing it atm and I'm ready to rip my dick off.
Seriously...never again solo. It is so fucking troll, I cannot fathom how I get like 3 good teams who clearly know what they're doing....then over 10 in a row of just trash run around like retards. It CAN'T BE POSSIBLE.......

Suck my dick. You cannot be skilled enough to carry 4 incompetent scrubs. You just have to keep playing over and over and then your skill "carries you eventually" to where you should be and I don't have the patience.
Edit: by you, I mean any player in general. I watched Timmy struggle bus hard and eventually he got there, sure....playing 8 hours a day non stop. I'm sorry, I can't do it. My mental state cannot handle it.

It's the EOMM dude. You gotta stop playing when you start losing. The algo thinks that the more you lose the more likely you'll keep playing to get a win. Gotta know when to stop.
When do you decide you started losing? How many losses? And how long do I step away from the game? I generally wait a few minutes after each bad match as to not be teamed with the same retards.
What the fuck kind of bullshit algorithm is this (rhetorical as I watched a video on it....but still dumb and confusing to me why they do this)
Yeah I play to tank up, but mostly I play to win and have fun. If I have to dance around the algorithm to have that, then it proves my point that solo que is gay af and I'm done with it.

Ya I think i hate this game now. Something happened about 2 or 3 weeks ago where the game went to shit.
First off i have insane lag on this thing. Almost every time I play i am lagging like crazy. I do network test and it's all good and then I go in the game and it's lag city.
Then 30% of my matches someone quits. Its always my team never the enemy team that goes down 6v5. Once your down one person it's over you can't win.
And then every match the enemy team goes 38-2. Everyone has 30 + kills and barely any deaths. They have a Spiderman going g 38-1. They have a Witch going 35-4. They have a groot dominating the point. They run at me in a packs and gangbang me to death.
I am not saying I am amazing but I got to gold and was looking to rank up further and then all of a sudden I basically lose every game. My record was usually 50/50. But now it's win one out of 5 games if that.
I can't imagine it's fun for the other team either. If I do win a game usually it's a steamroll which TBH isn't really fun.
But ya the game has gone from my favourite to basically I hate this fucking game. It seems you get matched with pro esport players who are all sitting in the same room communicating and your team is made up of mentally retarded blind amputees.
My theory is basically the player base has dropped and your left with 2 groups. People who play together and communicate on one side and then a bunch of solo Q gamers

There is something really dumb and unfair with the matchmaking to try and force you to have around 50% win rate (though it feels worse than that). I started with like 3 wins on Fri and Sat where it was like you said, just pub stomping teams. Everyone on my team knew what they were doing. Then it swapped to where I was getting teams that didn't know what they were doing, nobody playing together, horrible comps, no comms. And after about 5 or 6 in a row of those I just shut the computer down as it's no longer fun.
I'm officially going to be testing this on an alt. Gonna get to the bottom of this shit. Like @Dacon says, quit after a loss or two. Wait at least 8 hours is what they claim. EOMM will supposedly recognize you're not going to put up with bullshit losses and give you fair matches/free wins. So let's see. The comments section seems to agree.

Netease wrote a paper about EOMM and filed a patent for it if I remember correctly.
I think I'm mostly disgusted at this point by my IRL bud who is denying all the proof out there because he plays the game constantly and with other mates who are top 500 or near that so they have an edge.
I'm literally asking him at this point to watch me live for one night in real time and see the bullshit and explain it. Which is sad....because he's had those nights and raged at me about it. Seems just that he's had better nights than I have so the problem doesn't exist.

Does he mostly play with friends? The problem is definitely more obvious when solo queuing.

Playing with friends is cheating. Ya I'm top 500 because I roll in a squad 6 deep with mics stomping solo qs. Ya of course you can dominate when you have friends to heal you or make space and then finish off your kills while popping ults in tandem.
The matchmaking is borked and it's gotten way worse lately.
At this point I can tell almost instantly. If my team insta locks 3 DPS it's over. If the other team has a Thor SpiderMan or Witch it's over.
