Apparently it was a satellite team in the US that did R&D on some of the maps. No clue where the original article pulled "game director on Marvel Rivals" from.
Typical western game journo rigor in writing articles. Plus, they were probably an Overwatch fan with gigs of OW Rule 34.

Since people here tend to take mice a bit seriously I pose the question here.

Anyone have any experience with the pwnage mice? Expensive but seems to be solid from the specs.

Couple thoughts with the new patch.

Groots walls feel SO much better with the additional 3m. They always felt slightly too short before and now they feel perfect. I will say though it's taking some time for my brain to adjust to it. I keep throwing walls too far.

Thing feels pretty well balanced. He definitely can't be a main tank though. I wonder if theyll buff his health or something. He's superb for peeling for the backline though. Shutting down escapes is huge.

Torch feels OP. His ult feels retarded if he's chasing you down. I think his ground fire box/thing needs a better ground effect. There were a few times I had absolutely no idea I was inside one.

Venoms knock back/up feels great.

I did notice healer ults were a LITTLE slower charging which was nice.

I picked this ass game up again and managed to go from Bronze to Plat in 9 hours before S1.5 because I wanted snag the Invisible Woman skin and to test out the new characters after patch day. But I wanted to do it in Quick Queue and Practice, unlike the drooling retards who immediately jumped into Competitive Mode to tank everyone's rating.

Yesterday, right when the servers came up I literally lost 12 matches in a row with instalock Thing/Torch. The total for the day was 4-14 before I said fuck it and quit.

Today people seem to have come back to their senses a bit, but half my games still have drooling insta-lockers with no experience on the character.

I managed to recover some of my rating today with the last 10 games.

Torch is trash unless he's in the hands of a very strong player or the team comp supports him. His damage is incredibly easy to avoid and his ult can be healed through.

I hit Diamond today and the last 10 games or so people seem to actually know how to play the game. At least for the most part.

I rarely see the rage-inducing stupidity that was present in nearly every game in the lower ranks and made the game patently unfun.

I genuinely do not mind being outplayed -- respect it, even. But morons make me fucking crazy.

Maybe now that I am starting to get into the second half of the tier system the game will be more enjoyable.

Keep in mind there's a winner and loser queue. Win.too much by playing too well and you'll find yourself in the losers queue. Sounds made up but it's real.

Any time I get 2-3 HARD losses I take a few hours break.

Between my two accounts I am at about 430 hours played. I still like the game, but this is why I have a huge back log on Steam. I get obsessed with one live service game and ignore the rest. I still haven't played Space Marine 2 and I was super hyped for that game. I was just to busy with life when SM2 was released to play it, then Rivals came out and I got sucked in. Winter is the time of year I have the most free time to game, so I feel like I need to stop playing and get some other games in before my Winter is over.

Maybe it's in my head but Groot feels off since the patch. His walls are great but his DPS feels much lower? Can't explain it, just feels data.

I'm also getting like no assists at all. Wonder if wall damage is bugged or something

Servers were fucked last night. Wouldn't let me queue for anything.

When they came back I lost 50 comp points and had an hour ban. Lovely. Didn't even get into a match AT ALL.

I was doing some qp missions and noticed it was taking way too long to queue so ended up playing poe.

Carrying those SM2 multiplayer missions before they brought down the difficulty was some of my favorite gaming in the last many years

Got my Dream Monitor for Christmas

SAMSUNG 55-inch Odyssey Ark 4K UHD 165Hz Curved Quantum Mini LED Gaming Monitor​


I've had one of these Odysseys for a few years now, ever since someone (maybe Mist?) posted a sale on them. Love it, it's great having two monitors in one.

Those aren't too big for fps? I feel like at a certain point you're pov peripheral is a handicap in competitive shooter

Nah if you have it at the correct distance from your eyes, it's just right. The resolution is 5120x1440 so nothing is stretching, you just have extra on your periphery that other people don't have. Unless you're implying having extra periphery is a negative, in which case I'll respond "not in my experience."

I'll add, extra side resolution is different from changing POV settings in the game. I'd agree that beyond a certain point, upping the POV setting is a negative. Somewhere between 75 and 90 tends to be the sweet spot from my experience.

Took me from a four monitor set up to one. I need the screen space for work.
