Honeymoon phase should be over, but I still have a blast.
Fun game, great characters, but the matchmaking is questionable. It’s either dogwalking bums or getting dogwalked yourself with bums. There’s rarely an in-between in my experience.
Content wise they are doing great. Now I’m hoping to see big improvements in matchmaking which is really not in a great place in my opinion and more balancing to create a much more diverse meta.
Needs more tanks and healers. It’s no wonder that 80 percent of people play dps when there’s more duelists than both other classes combined.
Solo tanking is its biggest problem.
Very well , has been very nice , the events/battlepass are very nice
Pretty well I think, as an OW player it’s such a nice breath of fresh air, in fact I might just be moving to rivals for good, but it doing good means healthy competition which will make both games better
I do wish some of the characters felt more… like the characters, like magneto for example, his kit just doesn’t quite feel like magneto
They really need to deal with the memory issues, it’s a bad look for streamers to be crashing during tournaments and my buddy still crashes every 3 games on the dot. Otherwise, I like everything about the game direction, it’s decently balanced, the new content drop feed is timed correctly, and the micro transactions are fine.
I love it except for one glaring issue. Engagement Match making needs to go. It just is frustrating and ruins ranked.
Still wish the third person perspective aim to the right thing wasn’t a thing but ah well
Sad some maps are still so poorly optimized. Depending on map/heros/ults there is like 70 average fps difference. I assumed this was something people were going to focus on but Sad to see my favorite maps are still the worst ones to play on 🙁
Matchmaking will turn casuals away , I will be here for the long haul but it desperately needs fixing
honestly, i think the tank role needs some attention because im tired of having to solo tank. and i would like to see an overhaul to the ranked matchmaking. it simply is not fun to try and do your best, but be destined to lose by the algorithm.
all cosmetic content, game design, and game direction/quality of life i think is really good, and some of the best ive seen from a live service game. unfortunately matchmaking is killing my desire to keep playing.
i hate spiderman
VERY GOOD, but we need to do something about the matchmaking and SOLO TANK/HEALER. It’s not fun to play alone as tank or having to go support alone I mean I get MVP for solo support 9/10 times.
I want to play along side with other tanks. I’m sick of people switching to DPS…
Sometimes I CAN DO IT… I CAN SOLO… but other times it’s a struggle.
Matchmaking and smurfs are also unbalancing matches. Ain’t fun.
I still think that the game is missing a role queue mode that people can practice characters in an actual functioning comp with, i understand that 2-2-2 isnt the only comp but its a good balance of everything.
I play ranked, got to GM, but not every game is one where i want to completely tryhard, so it would be nice to be able to play another mode that is a bit more casual but a bit more structured than quickplay where everyone just picks 5 dps and then you have no way to learn anything outside of movement,combos and cooldowns, which is valuable but still hard.
Like i didnt play ranked in league of legends until a few years ago but i played a ton of draft mode which was ranked rules but without the rank, so a far better experience i think.
Other than that i feel like they have listened to pretty much all the feedback, 3x support nerf, chrono tokens to units, no mid season rank lowering.
I feel like none of the characters are insanely overpowered although i think wolvie and storm are a bit too strong right now.
Low ranks are full of smurfs right now it’s a joke, dive comps just destroying you so you can’t even get out of spawn, reset was very much needed! But love the games
Love the game, matchmaking is terrible. It feels so forced. Like I’m not allowed to win more than a few fames in a row without being paired with braindead players or going against 6 man GMs.
The engagement based matchmaking isnt for me. Then if i really have a bad couple games, i get insulted more by having to play against AI.
Game would be a 10/10 for me if there were organic matchmaking.
The matchmaking is awful. I’m enjoying playing with random 10 year olds who can’t play on point, use the N word in voice chat and tell their friends they are gonna play Minecraft after we lose.
Drop invis, squirrel girl, hela, Luna, psylocke, magik, CnD, black widow and venom bikini skins or we riot
We need more tanks but also less tanks that are just beefier dps.
The engagement optimized based matchmaking will hurt this game in the long run. Some days I don’t want to play at all because matchmaking is so bad.
The toxicity has been draining but I’m still having fun
How to make this game good, 3 steps:
1. Add proper anti-dive counters, namor can be banned, we need more options, especially among vanguards.
2. Fix the matchmaking system, it is absolutely not a balanced system, rigging matches one way or another (stomp or be stomped)
3. Remove the meta related to using utility ults – having invis woman/luna/C&D on your team is MUCH better than any other healer ult (loki is only good to copy any of the three ults above)
Its fun but I know most are against it I would like to see how role q would be.
If I’m going to be honest here, I’m a lot less optimistic about this game right now than most of you. It’s been a blast and I have been having a lot of fun with it. I’ve found characters that I vibe incredibly well with, and I feel like I have impact in the game.
There are a lot of problems i’m experiencing in this game. From straight up performance issues and freezing/frame drops for like 10 seconds at the start of the round, to questionable/lazy balancing/design.
I’ll point out what I think is great first. The gameplay is incredibly fun and satisfying. I love the ban system, and think it’s implemented in a very reasonable manner. There are new skins/events constantly, sometimes for free. The battle pass is very good (so far) and you dont just get peanut shells in the free version. There also looks like frequent new characters to generate hype and shake up the meta.
Now to my complaints:
Performance: This might just be because im on a relatively older system, but this game performs HORRIBLY. Sometimes characters dont render for me entirely until the attackers gates open. I will get drops/freezes where i’m literally unable to control my character, forced to sit in a corner with sub 1 fps. This ONLY ever happens in the first game or two after launch, it’s completely fine for the rest of the session. Also a lot of the time I will get stuck at 99% in the loading screen. I just have to pray that I’m not on defense and lose the rollout time. I dont have any of these issues in any other games, this is the first to make me actually feel the age of my pc.
Balance/Design: I currently have a lot of mixed feelings and little faith in the develpment/balance teams at the moment. The 1.5 balance patch just barely hit the target for me. The invuln ult charge nerfs were exactly what I wanted, but they failed to address some of the more frustrating parts of the game (12s snow ult, wolverine, dr strange are my top 3). There is a lot of inconsistency in the way characters are balanced (Storm/punisher unstoppable in ult, but not spidey? Cap has a shield CD, but strange gets to keep his ranged basic attack/shield/melee cancel? While having one of the best ults in the game AND the ability to 1 shot squishies in healer ults? AND portal on top of all this?), and there is a decent amount of characters where I feel like there is little/no intuitive counterplay (Panther’s absurd mobility, Invis womans ult being a invuln ult makes the intuitive choice of going into it to see the enemy not work, one shot ults/cobos being the only true counter to the invuln ults that move) A lot of my friends have gotten frustrated with healer ults and endless flankers who just one shot you. They have started to lose interest in the game, and are moving on to other things.
Matchmaking: I think we can all agree that it currently sucks. QP has become unplayable for my friendgroup, getting matched against GM’s/Celestials tryharding on their lord mains while we are all offrole doing missions. Usually 3 amazing flankers decimating our backline while our instalock dps randoms are sniffing glue somewhere. Ranked gives us easier matches, and has finally started to give us good/balanced matches in diamond after having to slog through the metal ranks. Why is there no placements? I didnt have fun stomping bronze players, and I’m sure they didnt either.
I’ve been enjoying it a lot, way more than my friends, but I think there are some major issues that need to be addressed before I can consider the future bright.
Last time I had this much fun was paladins. Hope it sticks
