How else can I flame chat as Rocket with my 30k heals?

Marvel Rivals needs to learn ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from Overwatch. Unless you’re a sweaty tryhard, Rivals is perfection; and if you are a sweaty tryhard, just go play Overwatch, which y’all already turned into a sweaty tryhard game.

I usually only care about W/L ratio but so many times, I would join in the final 10 seconds of a quick match and lose.

i think team-ups would be way better of a feature if it had way more options. if every character can have a team-up with a third of the characters, that would just give way more variety and options for unique teams

Hanzo can also 1 shot.

This shouldn't be called, "Why the Marvel Rivals Scoreboard is Meaningless". This should be called, "Why Video Game Scoreboards are Meaningless".

Great video, although, I can debate 4:11 with flying heroes like phara

Yes, you can do those things mentioned in the video to increase your numbers, if that's all you care about. But that's not how you play the game. And I think most people know that.

ahahahahhahaha people still play overwtach

The mvp system in rivals just tracks who healbotted/tickled tanks the most. Final blows solo kill, death counts are all seemingly out of the calculation. While in overwatch at least you see a play that actually made an impact in a fight like at least 60% of the time

As a mercy main I always take it upon myself to parkour up to wherever widow is and surprise jump her.

I never played overwatch but i feel the position take is a lot like if you play Jett, Chamber, from Valorant where especially before the nerfs to these agents you could just swing any angle and as long as you weren't instantly killing you could basically get for free via (Jett dash or Chamber tp).This taught people when the could play jett or chamber only the most basic of position.

You think a lustful thumbnail would make me click and sit listen 24 minutes rant about Widow? You sure were right.

skill issue

Most of the points you make in the first part of the video also applies to sniper in tf2, except in tf2 sniper is less mobile which is the main problem with widow in my opinion

5:12 maybe like bomerang fu where it give titles to players based on how they played

Never played ow, tried to after rivals feels like garbage went back

Rivals performance on pc is horrible

The big problem with team-ups in Marvel Rivals is that it creates expectations and balance problems that just... aren't necessary IMO. Of course, not all team-ups are created equal in this respect, some of the team ups are actually incredible design, while others are just... not. Take Rocket and Bucky/Punisher's team-up. It's a flat statistical buff from Rocket to Bucky/Punisher, so that's a point loss right out of the gate, but it's also such a significant buff that the community assumption about Rocket Raccoon has become "the team-up bot for Bucky and Punisher". If you don't have Bucky or Punisher then your team doesn't want a Rocket, and that sucks, but because the team-up is so powerful they can't realistically buff rocket to make him feel better. IMO the best team-up in the game is Hulk/Wolverine, hands down, because it's everything that Rocket/Bucky/Punisher isn't. There is no stat buff here, it's a pure playmaking tool that must be agreed upon by both parties involved. Both players have a hand in the outcome and quite frankly it's just a ton of fun for both players, but nobody is saying "We don't have a Hulk, why are you on Wolverine?.". Neither character depends on the team-up to be effective.

14:11 My vid Proves this completely true Played Hanza the entire game, At one point I threw up random alt at the cart while fighting an Anna and got potg did nothing else the entire game we lost.😂

Man cry for 23 minutes straight because he was bullied by sweaty sniper gameplay lovers

the ban list is more for varying the end game experience then for pure balance reasons. it also makes more sense when you think about true competitive ((tourneys and the like)) and introducing bans into the culture makes it easier to transition to a tourney scene

I have over 10 hours in Rivals, and I still prefer Overwatch (to the point where I uninstalled MR, but because I was running out of space and couldn't have both at the same time). While some issues are purely my own taste, with me disliking the 3rd person perspective, others are entirely objective: my low-end-ish PC can run OW at 60 fps consistently at a high quality, and it also struggles to reach 30 fps with the lowest settings in Rivals. MR also feels like a team-based game that hates team: the disproportionate amount of DPS compared to tanks and supports indirectly makes players go "nah, imma do my own thing," and run off without working together. Most of the hours I have in Rivals I had to play support in order to babysit 5 mediocre DPS players, and it wasn't fun. Another issue is that I feel that none of the tanks, my preferred role, in Rivals feel half as fun as the ones in OW: Hammond is geniunely one of the best designed characters in an FPS (in the sense that he's so fun to play as), and Rivals' closest aproximation to him, Venom, feels really clunky in comparison.

I don’t see the issue. In a game that’s chaotic by nature with shield and large health pools, aim and positioning being rewarded isn’t a bad thing to me. Sure it get annoying in the higher ranks but she’s a sniper 🤷🏾‍♂️

I do not agree with your arguments. Mainly because most of them are kinda bad. However, I do agree that Widowmaker is a little broken(In the right hands.), and does need a rework. Asking 10 players is a little cheap. If it were 90 out of 100 or 9000 out of 10000 players, then that's more of a convincing argument, but saying that 90% of players dislike Widowmaker when you've only asked 10 players is just straight up a null-and-void argument. That's just one, and probably the weakest, of the arguments that I find a little too weak in this video.

I wish Blizzard would bring back the notifications when you got fire, it made doing things much more satisfying and makes the fire system more clear.

Ow devs should bring the end cards back with mvp so they wouldnt need to change anything about the potg system

Overwatch is so easy to look at due to the stylized approach making it feel so much less... cumbersome. I dunno. Former Overwatch player who quit bc I hit GM1 and got bored of the grind bc I hit my goal. A bit biased but. Idk. Havent played it in ages.

I don't think people are even ready yet to heave a proper conversation about the game being balanced around what is fun to play and play against. Yes this video is about widow and a need for her to have a new kit but she's not the only one. The game needs to feel fun if we want any of the newer players to stay around and the game to hold any relevance at all. Additionally it has to be balanced around fun for the majority of player so if people in gold and below get annoyed by junk rat being able to safely spam without being punished and then get told "ehhh... just get good!" isn't the answer. How does an average player push a hanzo, junk rat and orisa spam comp on first point Eichenwalde. Answer: They get pissed off, lose and go play rivals. yeah one shots are unfun and should go but we can't end the conversation there. It feels bad to be killed when you can't see your enemy because they are spamming rockets or arrows or grenades or stickies from a corner miles away and that isn't the only other concept people don't like. The thing is people aren't ready to have these conversations so nothing will happen.

Most of the time you can SEE the players costing your team value, like a Peni who doesnt understand webs and nest, or that one Iron Fist tgat continues to pick 3v1s

I’ve gotten called out for deaths but people forget strategists are basically target #1

I don’t fully agree with a lot of the points in the video, but more in the sense that some aspects of the scoreboard do provide useful information rather than being entirely unreliable. I also think you downplayed how significant misreading the scoreboard can be. If the differences in stats (like damage) are minor and you don’t take roles or characters into account, then yeah, it's pretty useless-especially at higher levels. But if there’s a massive gap in stats across all categories, or someone is significantly behind, it still gives a fairly clear picture of performance. Final blows, in my opinion, are more valuable than you suggest. While it’s true that, when stats are close, they might not mean much, in most cases a high number of final blows indicates that the player either secured the kills mostly on their own or finished enemies who would have otherwise survived(like atleast in my exp, kill stealing is not a majority of final blows regardless of what or how you play). This generally gives a good idea of their impact. When combined with high damage, it’s likely that the player performed well. And I’ve never had another experience where farming final blows was realistically possible against good opponents unless someone was intentionally throwing. Extremely high damage-like double everyone else’s-can also be a positive sign, even with fewer kills, since it shows how much pressure they put on the enemy team. But again, it’s just an indication. It’s true that most people misuse scoreboard stats by treating them as absolutes, but that doesn’t mean they’re completely useless. Instead, they give you about half the picture on their own, which obviously isn’t enough to fully evaluate performance, but they can still be a good indicator in about 60-70% of cases-especially when there are major outliers.

I'm a simple man, I see someone with based opinions on McCree and I like and sub.

It can be better to die as raccoon on some maps because it resets brb and he can travel back to point so fast plus throw brb far through the air. Best map is probably that one where you have to cap the point first to escort the sludge. If on defense dying there after a brb resurrects can get another brb near point every 10-15 sec instead of 45 sec. Another spot is that map with defensive choke at start then guide through city (not midtown). The 2nd point under bridge can be a good place to die to get more brbs right near fight. It's often better in these places to have tanky people on point constantly or a dps in the fight than the missed 10 sec of healing.

I don't know why games stopped giving objective scores where you'd get objective score by either standing on point or killing someone else on point. This score was very helpful as bitch that went 12 and 1 would have like 100 objective score proving that he deliberately ignored objective to up his kd.

The biggest problem with Rivals (and others like Overwatch) is that the tutorial mode doesn't cover 80% of what you need to know to improve. Concepts like making space, high ground vs low ground, areas of interest, main vs off-tanks, how to distribute your healing, when to commit to a push, etc. are never demonstrated or taught to the player even in quick play, so everyone has to go trial-by-fire in ranked. When you're losing a game, the scoreboard is the only thing you have to follow, and most often it encourages losing teams to start pointing fingers at each other. Also, there are few cases where the scoreboard is useful. (The Ace marker + Deaths are the most important), as they can help you decide who to pressure, but it's usually distracting at ranks beyond silver.

Ppl swear they need to be at full health to function. Then there's those captain america mains who dive the back line with 300 hp left. Love those guys. Ud be surprised at how many kills I get while almost dying instead of running away and begging for heals

What I've learned is that regardless of what you do, Jeff will always be MVP instead of you. 😄

"Need healing" theres a magic and a spiderman behind us bud how bout we need some protection

Pretty good points, but I think the better framing of the scoreboard is how to discern meaning from it. Because there is plenty of useful info to get from it. And the use of it comes from what heroes peole are playing and knowing what is happening during your matches to correlate with the scoreboard's data. So good points with pointing out where people get things wrong and what the misconceptions are, but would be cool if you madea vid showing how to learn from the scoreboard effectively

I'd argue pvz gw2 scoreboard is pretty good, It places whoever did the best at the very top of the scoreboard It shows a very accurate measurement of how many kills someone got Their vanquishing system works on both normal and shared vanquished but shared vanquishes only count when the person did the MOST amount of damage to a player Thus still getting a kill credit because you put in the work It shows the exact amount of healing and how many assists you got which is granted to whoever did the least amount of damage to a target It's honestly so perfect It even shows k/d ratio pretty accurately and it'll show how long your kill streak lasted before you died Truly shows who did the best on their team

Deaths are meaningless as if u have someone that dies like 20 times then he is always puttin ur team at 5v6 instead of a full 6v6 so deaths do matter especially when u have a lot of them...and yo go further into wat u said yes there all times u need to sacrifice urself to help the team which makes it even more important that you aren't dying outside thoes situations

THANK YOU. Making a video might help bring more attention to her God awful design. I’ve never been more unhappy then when I see a widow in my game, instant fun killer

when you say no hero limits, do you mean 6 bastions on a team? I don’t want that whatsoever 💔

yeah this is a problem with TF2's design as well for sure. However there are gives and takes where Overwatch is worse and TF2 is better, and TF2 is better and Overwatch is worse, etc. On one hand, Widowmaker has tracer rounds and there are player placed barriers in the game. In TF2, that is not the case. Most of Sniper's rifles do not produce tracer rounds at all, and there is not class in TF2 that has a barrier of physical wall of any sort. On the other hand, Sniper has ZERO mobility tools to his name, meaning that if he's caught out of position, and is unable to land the quick scope (if he even notices the person punishing him), he dies. Meanwhile Widow has a grapple, meaning that she's fairly easily able to get out of sticky situations should the need arise. They are BOTH a problem, don't get me wrong, but TF2's sniper and Widowmaker are equally problems in different ways. I haven't done much research into how Black Widow is in Marvel Rivals, but I've heard that people actually enjoy how Netease designed her, and from the looks of how the game is shaping up she is not very oppressive (Hawkeye is the more oppressive sniper than she is from what I can tell, my computer can't run the game so I don't know for sure lol). Perhaps there is some merit into looking into how Black Widow was designed going foward.

Deaths is way more important than you let on. It shows who made more mistakes in the match. Let's say you are a Moon Knight but you die due to poor positioning, that is a mistake on your end, you understand? Essentially, some of these stats are more important than you let them on to be.

Why does nobody play open que if it’s so good.

I was wondering why it was impossible to get assists as a character that focuses on damage in this game. What weird ass choices they picked for match stats and how they work in this game.

1 min 3 max of 6v6 I'll admit on paper would be the best, but in my experience of 20-ish games, every single match I had was absolutely terrible and highly unbalanced, doesn't help that most of the matches were just spam comps or people who were literally the most [REDACTED] people on planet earth. if they put some slight balance adjustments for every role so that way there'd be slight buffs or nerfs dependent on if there's 1 or 3 respectively of a role. I feel like that'd be the greatest. But in my opinion 2-2-2 6v6 is the most fun that I've ever really had in overwatch in general. and I've been playing since 2017.

so my 2-17 punisher with 40,000 damage is actually carrying im just a fool
