I'm really tired of this normalized trend where people are so comfortable with complaining about characters until they become idiot-proof.
I feel like this needs to stop YESTERDAY.
Go to any character main sub, and you'll see people acting like the character is hot garbage.
I legitimately believe that huge swaths of the entire Marvel Rivals community has "My character isn't peak Server Admin Bucky" Syndrome, and just asks for/proposes the most egregious buffs for months on end.
Most of these characters in question are not difficult if you just apply a little bit of thought. It's particularly frustrating because mechanically I feel like Rogue is such a comfy character in terms of balance and the design philosophy of the game.
And Iron Man too, people act like the animation in and out of overdrive is the worst thing ever. It's literally a nonfactor if you know how to play around it by positioning behind cover or rotating with a teammate.
">No one can convince me that fatal attraction is so strong that it needs a damn 14 second cooldown. I’m baffled that was 17 on release"
So she already got a buff to it that it needed then? Do you want to use it 6 times a fight in a sea of other displacement tools to procc Tenacity and make it pointless then? This is an ability that can be refreshed from the absorb too btw!!!
Like I don't understand. Just make characters that require some thought and skill, and have weaknesses that need to be outplayed and THOUGHT ABOUT by the player using them. Best match-up character against DD. Versatile movement. Sustain. Multiple ways to buff damage. A great stun tool. Access to important abilities and passives across the roster.
This is genuinely upsetting, you guys are acting like Sue, Ultron, and Adam players. Learn and improve at your character? No. Instead we're gonna chose to complain our way into the devs buffing them unnecessarily with silly extraneous abilities? I'm tired of this trend where enough people can just exploit the balancing team into external meddling and handholding.
Rogue is probably one of if not the most fun and balanced characters in the game. She doesn't need to be idiot-proof. The reality is she's a balanced character in an unbalanced game and I don't want an interesting kit I find fun to be compromised by all this fucking handholding and mass hysteria.
And furthermore you guys already worship the teamup so much when this character already has two ways of increasing her damage input through Southern Brawl and Absorbing any DPS character's granted passive. 2 more ways of you count having a Storm and a Mantis on board. There are multiple ways to get value on this character, she doesn't need to blow up the neighborhood by holding down primary. This sort of thing communicates to me that you're using the team up as a crutch as if that's her whole kit.
Did White Fox need buffs? No. Did Ultron need two drones? No. Did Adam need flight? No. Did Invis need self sheilds? No. Did Jeff need an immortality circle? No. Did Luna need self flake and to do more damage than Hela? Hell no.
But these changes exist to compensate for the fact that the playerbase is too fucking stupid, to understand that being broken and OP ISN'T supposed to be the standard. Characters like Gambit aren't the standard, and trying to push everyone up to that is how you end up with powercreep.
Speak out about any of this, and you get DROWNED in this God-awful stupid site's echochamber format. I'm so fucking tired of Redditors thinking that the game needs to implement a thousand unnecessary buffs to characters when the game is already balanced.
