This isn't even a Hero Shooter. It's a _"Hero Action Game"_ There's little to no gunplay just having a few of the roster having guns would make Super Smash Bros a shooter too with Solid Snake.
I got broken up with the weekend COD came out this year. So now I’m Prestige 6 somehow while working two jobs at the same time and finishing up school. Thank you for the motivation.
The game is great, but honestly playing it i got nostalgic for Paladins (that i didn't play in a long time), like Thor screaming "Behold the Thunder God" hearing that i got flashbacks to "Behold the dragons Fury"
This right here man. This is a genuine follow-up that evolves the formula. So much depth and tech in characters like peni, psylocke, bucky, magik etc. Destructible environments were kind of a gimmick in beta but in the full game it offers so many hidden interesting flank routes, and forces teams to adjust their holds / approach to the ever evolving state of the map. I have 77 hrs in the game and im not even close to feeling the fatigue. The characters are all free and oozing with style. The servers are solid, we got leaderboards, replays, statistics. it's absurd. most games wish they could launch like this
This is by far my favorite shooter of all time!! It's so addicting! I was playing a previous game where I was trying to max out all characters but marvel rivals came out and I just couldn't put rivals down dude!
Ive also got 20 hours first weekend and I INSTANTLY got hooked. Is this game a copy of overwatach? Yes, nkt because it copies the game but because it FEELS like OG overwatch, great video as always
The bit about Smash Ultimate’s character win rate being all around the same is only pulled from online matches with all vastly different rulesets (think OW’s arcade mode stats and competitive stats being smushed together) which are often casual and do not reflect the win-rate in an actual competitive setting, meanwhile the current state of Smash is not balanced at all, but yeah I get your point regardless
although not havign a role queue is good, i feel like there should be something like it, like allowing players to set their prefered class on their profile or something along those lines, i hate 6 dps on one team
Having played Marvel Rivals a couple of hours you can say it's as much of an Overwatch clone as Overwatch is a Team Fortress clone, it's the same genre of games but each has their own personality
After seeing this time for me to jump back into the game again Also considering the game just released only a few weeks ago i also think we should wait and hold our breath until we see more if what's to offer and see if they keep consistentcy ( not asking for perfection obviously ) and hope they don't fumble the bag early legitimately But for now as they say let's just enjoy the moment while we still can for now

The craziest difference between OW2 and rivals is how much faster to login and matchmaking is.
Login times are longer on Rivals and queue times are shorter on Rivals due to no role queue and cross platform matchmaking
3-5 minutes until I login due to marver has some big problems.
Ow2 loaded in pretty easily.
They need to patch it
@CsabaGamings really? Instant for me on PC , how about the matchmaking tho? OW2 always took forever to get into a game unless you play a healer.
