As a diehard overwatcher until the abortion of OW2 this felt like home. I was a Hammond main and venom feels very close. I will say the grappling tech is nowhere as good as Hammond and slamming is a bit more chaotic, but venom feels good to play. Hero balance is going to be big if they do it right, which is something overwatch always did great with.

This is a really good video about the lore of Jeff.



I guess they are bringing Jeff into the MCU. They just aren't ready to announce how yet.

Winderbaum initially called out Jeff the Land Shark for his popularity in Marvel Rivals. Then, he admitted that the studio is looking into getting Jeff the Land Shark into the MCU. He said: "You know it's coming! I can't say when, I can't say where. But we're all Jeff fans here."

Jeff the Land Shark Is Coming To the MCU After Marvel Rivals Popularity

Jeff the Land Shark wasn't the most popular on the Marvel Rivals roster but now he's basically the mascot.

Not surprising - Disney probably sees the money just print itself with all the Jeff merchandise they can make

Having never played OW, I decided to give this a try. I'm actually having fun, mostly playing with Cloak and Dagger. Worth a shot if you're bored, since it's free.

I dunno what it is, but I feel like none of the tanks really gel with me. I used to like tanking in OW, but the lack of mobility on tank characters overall makes them feel kind of awkward

I thought I’d like magneto because he seems to be a sigma/zarya combo, but it played oddly

Also fuck the anti cheat they use on this game - it did something to my pc that caused another game’s anti cheat to repeatedly kick me from another game because of “suspicious software”

Try Venom or Thor for mobility. I'd say Thor is a bit better. Hulk is also kind of mobile but also kinda sucks.

Magneto and Strange on my favorite tanks. Tons of damage, shields, peal.

Thor + Captain is really good. Thor energizes Captain's shield and turns him into a mid range power house.

Hela + Thor is also really good. Gives thor a free rez if she can get a killing blow in the fight.

Meanwhile the #1 player is a hulk main(also it's Nevix; ow pro).. But also the gamma team up is so fucking strong for Ironman.

Hulk is crazy mobile, same with venom, Thor, and cap.. But they vary in viable positioning and fit in either dive or suited better as anti-dive/peel. Strange, Mag, and Penni are just the better Frontliners.. I'd say Cap/Venom are the better dive, and Thor/Hulk are the better peel.. But I'm sure it's all interchangeable and situational based. I'm just toying with tanks to learn em, otherwise I'm just a dps/supp main.

Flats had a pretty crazy run in a tournament with Thor with a 210 kills, and zero deaths over the course of a tournament.. And if you just search Nevix hulk.. I'm sure you can find a lot. Their replay system is pretty top tier, so people are farming content by replay reviews.

I don't play venom, but what I've gathered; turn off whatever the swing assist thing is.. It's a much better experience... Easier even.

Yea haven't really delved into the meta much. I just know it hasn't gone well for me when I used him, but the team up thing makes sense.

I can't say if it's meta persay.. Or more it's just a product of pick/ban. I merely mean viability is still possible, people are still ironing out the tech on characters. I think it's unanimous that Strange is hands down the best tank.. And he's been seeing bans pretty consistently.

From seeing Nevix gameplay, I feel a lot of people play hulk wrong.. Theoritically, I think he suffers the big hitbox health sponge for enemy ult economy, so often you don't want to dive the backline, or constant frontlining(counter intuitive to a tank) .. But instead peel until you're up in numbers.. And then use your mobility to be incredibly sticky to the remaining numbers. Not that I'm right either, just observation of 2 or 3 games.

Both Ironman and strange benefit from the gamma teamup, so it's a net positive to have a front line tank, and dive/peel tank.

Sure making it sound far too technical, I guess I need to stick to stuff like tarkov.

Its really not, sorry. It's just team oriented, so if you want to make an impact by yourself.. It gets a lot harder the closer the enemy team is equal to you(and your team) in skill.. Majority of your games, esp if you play casually is super face roll-y.. You can pick favorite hero and do your thing by smashing buttons for fun.

Its like saying you'll win majority of your fight if you're running a mutant with 7.62 BP in 5/6 armor.. But you can still have just as much fun and success if you use a vpo215 with .366ap and lvl4 armor.

If you just want to point and click they got heroes for that. Punisher and Winter Soldier are really good. Black Widow feels nice because they finally balanced OW Widow. In fact, a lot of the design decisions in this one feels more balanced but it could just be because I'm still in qp learning shit.

Except Hawkeye, fuck that guy.
