Summer Shorts 🏖️ Summer Shorts: The Hooded Beach Party

Post image
14 Upvotes

This summer, the Hood washes up on the Rivals' beach, but no one knows why he's here.
The scene is set: one beach, one mysterious figure, three ways it could begin.
Your take can be a full story or just a single line, where it goes is entirely yours to decide.

☀️ PICK YOUR OPENING

  • Opening 1: Beach Party Chaos (comedic) 

The summer beach party is in full swing. Heroes in full swimwear, splashing water, playing beach games. Deadpool is leading the chaos, Star Lord is on the decks. As the party hits its peak, a figure in a red hood lands on the sand. Every hero turns to stare.

  • Opening 2: Fog on the Horizon (mysterious) 

A perfect summer day. Clear skies, warm waves, and the heroes enjoying a relaxing beach team retreat. Then dark mist rolls in from the sea, the sky turns gray, and a hooded figure stands alone on the rocks. No one knows: has he come to help... or is something darker washing ashore?

  • Opening 3: The Lonely Figure (heartwarming)

Golden hour. A warm breeze, a sunset-streaked sky, and the heroes gathered on the shore, winding down from a long day. A lone hooded figure stands apart from the party, out of place — close enough to hear the laughter, too far to be part of it.

Discussion Is it too much to ask for Hulk to get a little bonus health?

Post image
1.8k Upvotes

As most of the community is aware Hulk has pretty much no cc immunity aside from his ult, which lasts a few seconds. Another huge problem Hulk has is that he’s an absolute bullet sponge, yet other bullet sponge characters like venom and thing have much better survivability than he does. Genuinely why does hulk get no bonus health? Large health pool isn’t an excuse when he still gets shredded by the other team as quickly as he does. All I ask is that he gets bonus health by punching or even hitting people with the thunderclap

Balance Discussion One of the Biggest Problems With The New Team-Up System

Thumbnail
gallery
315 Upvotes

The Marvel Rivals Devs went through the trouble of giving every single character 2 different team-up abilities, but the team-up abilities are not even situationally used. They are a one size fits all scenario and completely makes the second team-up obsolete. Heavily Nerfing or removing strong team-ups has to be a pain point in the next balance update. Or actually give the character and player an actual decision in the Hero Select screen when it comes to Team-Ups.

Discussion The 1-1-1 release pattern is "opposite of smart" when you’ve already added so many DPS characters.

This decision is stupid. We need way more tanks and supports. The DPS pool can easily stay the same for 2–3 seasons.

What’s gonna happen? Tank and support players will actually have more characters to choose from? Why should only DPS players get a full candy store to pick from?

“People will leave.” No, they won’t. Most skins are made for the characters that bring in the money, and we all know who that is. Invisible Woman and Snow Girl alone probably got NetEase funded for a couple of years in advance.

Btw, even if we went three full seasons without a single DPS release, there would still be a ridiculous number of DPS characters to choose from.

P.S.

I used "opposite of smart" because I can't even use word "stupid" in the title. Jez....

Discussion If they add mystique, how would they differ her shapeshifting from lokis ult?

Post image
107 Upvotes

My brother’s favorite female marvel character is Mystique and we had a talk earlier about how she could be usable if added to rivals.

The problem is that we already have a shapeshifter in the game via Lokis ult. Sooo….how would they make Raven Darkhölme feel different, unique, and actually usable compared to some of the other characters???

What are your thoughts?
