I am in the special purgatory deadlock realm where all my friends better than me have at least +2 tiers on me so we can't queue ranked and all my friends worse than me are at least - 2 tiers on me so we can't queue ranked. Such is the life of a mystic player ig

They also all don't want to play standard like 70% of the time

How it feels to periodically log into marvel rivals every couple seasons to dunk on gold players. (I don't play enough to outpace the rank decay)

Uh given that this topic is being talked about if anyone has Testament or Johnny questions or just needs help with strive in general my DMs are open.
Is it a strive only problem with some high level players being elitists or fgs in general

In other news, I feel like chess is easier than tic tac toe because I can consistently beat my friend at chess but not tic tac toe.
Deadlock is way easier then marvel rivals and it’s not close✌️😭 Eternus 5 on Deadlock within a month, but can’t hit eternity on rivals after a year😂😂
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The attached screenshot claiming Eternus 5 on Deadlock is false, as tracker data shows only 4 matches at 25% win rate on this account. statlocker.gg/profile/892781… deadlock.wiki/Ranked_mode

As someone who has been on both sides of this the answer is often just that you have to play more. Like if my autopilot is filtering someone I can't really give them advice because I'm not being challenged enough to think about what the other person is doing.
So hard to get a straight answer 😭

Just found out today that the largest event at 4o4 esports is not Sf6, not Tekken, but fucking Beyblade.

It's kind of funny as someone who used to compete in this game to see how the community keeps on reacting to what essentially is an strive season 3/Tekken season 2 situation lol. They've just been getting arcsys patched to oblivion over there.
I spent hours preparing this analysis because I care deeply about Marvel Rivals and its future. The current patch, in my opinion, did not solve the root issue. It changed parts of the game, but the deeper problems in competitive flow, sustain, uptime, and fight structure are still there. My goal is not to complain. My goal is to explain why the game feels different from what it originally was, why top-level ranked feels the way it does right now, and what direction could actually help fix it. I hope this can reach someone higher up who sees that I am serious about investing my time into this game. I would be willing to help with balance feedback, competitive direction, and explaining how changes affect the highest level of play. This is still not the final version. I plan to add more tomorrow, but this is the foundation of my response to the current patch. docs.google.com/document/d/1…

It actually makes me appreciate fighting games more because like imo the actual problem here is that Marvel Rivals isn't really balancing for the top skill bracket because they simply aren't enough of a vocal majority to matter.

Many are confused by this tier list but it all starts making sense once you realize that the Koreans are much more employed than Americans. You think the mfs on the Korean work culture grind are gonna get home and block zato?

Ok the ps5 avatar input delay discussion needs to happen because unironically went to my local, played on ps5 , and couldn’t land any focused azula bnbs despite being super consistent on the PCs at the venue
