Rivals is 6v6, like the first Overwatch. One of the big complaints of OW2 was reducing the team sizes to 5v5 so players could no longer field 2 of each role (DPS, tank, support) Rivals is designed to eat Overwatch's lunch.
This is full of crap. Rivals doesn't even feature role lock. People complained about 5v5 is because: 1. It was something new -> complaints because it's not what they're used to 2. Tank players now have too much pressure, but other roles are relatively the same. The number of tank players weren't high in the first place. 5v5 also has its advantages like shorter queue time and the elimination of two shields.
@@MaidenlessScrubrole locking was the worst decision ever made by blizzard, they were trying to force metas and overbalanced the game loosing all the fun in the name of competitiveness.
@@italianspiderman5012 If you call 3 tanks that are unkillable is fun then I am speechless. Or 5 dps and one sup, etc. Sure it's wacky and chaotic and fun for one or two matches, but after you just get L after L, you're gonna be frustrated. Some people are already asking for role lock or at least something that makes each team has at least one hero of each role in Rivals.
Another example of how female gamers prefer playing as attractive female characters is Super Smash Bros Ultimate. In the lead up to the games release women were asked which characters they were excited to play as. Everyone chose either a small cute character like Pikachu or Isabelle or a obviously feminine character like Zelda, Bayonetta, or Zero Suit Samus. Not regular Power Suit Samus but specifically Zero Suit.
I once, the past, promised my self that i will no longer play a Netease game. I got burnt out by Onmyuji Arena. Marvel Rivals made me broke that promise. 😢
34:07 Overwatch shields were not a problem. Mei and Lucio negates shields. Lucio's speedboosts his team through the shield, and Mei's icewall on the enemy's shield blocks line of sight allowing her team to run right up to the enemy team. Once you get in melee range, shields are pointless. Others ignore shields altogether, and it was why Orisa was a throw pick for the first year after she went live, as she had no counter to winston and the other dive heroes. Orisa kept dying with her shields still at 100%. The thing that made shields powerful are two heroes. Moira hard countered Genji, and Brigitte hard countered Tracer. Flashbang and sleepdart were annoying as well. The only thing they needed to do, to get shields out of the meta was to make dive heroes viable again. The problem was, even tho Tracer was among the bottom 3 DPS on ladder, she's top 3 in OWL. They can't buff the dive heroes back into relevancy without wrecking the pro scene, so they decided to wreck the playerbase instead with repeated tank and support nerfs.
7:53 Another thing it has is characters with full stories behind them. Granted some of those stories are pretty dumb now thanks to modern marvel, but there's good stuff too from the deeper past. Concord never had that. Neither did Overwatch.
58:29 Well that settles it... Elon needs to send the Mormons to Mars! They'll surely find a way to terraform it in no time lol On a *completely* unrelated note, how does one become a Mormon? Is there an application form or perhaps an interview? And do I get a sing-up gift, like a wife or nunchakus or something? And when can I leave for Mars afterward?
Well, yes i can say it's not that hard, i'm new to the 5v5 overwatch gaming mechanic mostly don't know what i'm doing but i can pull some penta kills or two.
One issue with working on/with something that is not all that, is you may get used to it or do not see the flaws with constant exposure to it.. Sometimes you have to take a break and come back to see everything that is wrong with that previously familiar thing... 2020-2023 may be an example of that on a grand scale... Familiarity breeds contempt, is a saying for a reason.
You don't need to put "live" on the thumbnail, if you are live the icon will appear automatically and when the stream has ended it's just misleading cause it does look like you're live when you're not.
I think the game is kinda successful because of the gameplay, not design of characters... Especially because its so fast you really dont have time for admiring characters visuals

@@MaidenlessScruband long que times were the result of role locking directly.

@ skill issue.
They followed a simple design philosophy: Everybody loves cake.
hell yeah we do!!!
don't forget the cherries (trying to stay in-theme with the bakery "metaphors")
Concord WAS their Star Wars. Just not the original trilogy. XD
36:00 Starcraft II will be around forever! (Because its the South Korean national sport.)

Guardians of the galaxy was fun and Midnight Suns should have been shortlisted for game of the year.

Think that is a good question for Oz as far as i remember, Shad brought Oz in the secret cult in and found him a wife or something XD

Gundam wing, Gundam 00 and Gundam seed had interesting ideas. With hunter X hunter what is interesting is the world and the ability system.
imagine my shock
Hey, Guardians of the Galaxy was an amazing game!
12:42. Mimesis. Clone is another abused and hugely spread modern term.
unless you are the nemesis system, then nobody can take what you did and do it better, because patents

It IS pretty hard rn 😉
Shad, what streaming software is that? I’m looking for one like that that easily allows for multiple video feeds at once
I think the game is kinda successful because of the gameplay, not design of characters... Especially because its so fast you really dont have time for admiring characters visuals
No it’s definitely because of the characters too
Game's a success because it's good so far not because of catering to miserable virgins.
What virgins are being catered to normally that makes a game fail?
