Im a cap Lord, but find this video very helpful. I think some of my mistakes is fully committing to back line instead of being pesty. Youre right, that knocking players off high ground or position is good enough.
This is what I've been trying to deal with playing Cap. My stats look like ass sometimes but I'm doing a lot. Just not getting many kills. So people usually say "useless tank" when they have no idea what tanks even do.
I play mainly Adam Warlock due to nobody wants to play strategist for some reason, and on diamond, the enemy vanguards start to solely target me due to my lack of mobility and it's driving me up the wall when my vanguards completely ignore me and blame me for no healing afterwards. Thank you for mentioning that part, I thought I was losing my mind.
Ive been playing witha lot of warlocks as mantis, and honestly, his backline defense and his escape are both lacking. i guess that's why he has a self res. Every other strategist has a way to fight back or escape. I feel like hes someone that can be ran as a third healer if u already have a dps hard carrying the team
I play adam warlock a ton. If you aren't getting help, then you have to be exclusively selfish with your cooldowns. The self-healing makes you very tanky. Also, spam alternate between your primary and secondary fire when in close range, increases your fire rate by like 2x with animation cancels. I just stick by my anchor tank the whole match and try to fight who they're fighting.
@@tommorgan9073 Thanks for the animation cancel tip! I'll be sure to use that. As for the rest, I am already using your tactics such as hug the anchor tank and use my all of my cool downs. What I'm saying is there were plenty of times where the enemy vanguard broke through the line of defense but my tank is so tunnel visioned with what's in front that they forgot to check the back line. I can understand if it's Spidey, Panther, or Iron Fist, but not realizing big characters in the back is just baffling.
@kroganbaby6163 yeah, lots of players are just so blind and there's not much i think can be done on our end there. The animation cancel trick started making me feel more comfortable in a 1v1 and when I started just thinking of him as kinda a hitscan brawler.
I was literally just looking up thor guides last night, because I got rolled by a thor and I really wanted to learn him but I suck at him. I couldn't find a SINGLE good one and now I see this 🙏
man, these guides made Thor my favorite character by far my buddies and i stomped last night with me as Thor my other buddy as Groot and the other as mantis.
been waiting for an advance thor guide been playing him since MR first came out. Love seeing everyone hopping on one of the best tanks in the game great content as usual CHUNGUS ARMY!!
I was struggling so hard this week trying to find a tank that I can carry my team with. Than I stumbled on the beggining Thor guide you had. Solo que has still been toxic but it's been so much easier creating space, flanking, and pushing the opponents towards my characters to force them to target. There was 3 matches in a row I had my team in Voice and Chat cheering for me! It probably helped that I'm yelling out "by the will of Odin!" "Son or Odin" or "God of Thunder!" But your guides pushed me up and out of the elo pits. Thank you! I owe you deerly friend! FOR ASGARD!!!
fantastic video, all the tips are great and teh guides really help, but having it followed by example with your insights into the plays are even better. Not a very original video idea, but maybe a video on how to play around certain heroes or weaknesses of the character could also be great! (even tho you already did it a bit i nthis one). Thanks again for the great content, playing Thor gets better and better and your help is huge, may us all become Worthier! haha
Question: ✋🤓 I’m not sure if it’s a packet loss or ping issue, but when I use Awakening, it stops midway. I can dish out three lightning attacks, then it momentarily stops before I can smoothly throw lightning again. Is this normal, or is it only happening to me? 😅
So there is a thing I do that’s is pretty decent in 1v1 scenarios for 250 health people is shift>auto>cancel auto with bubble>auto>auto>shift them out of bubble. It kills them and easier to hit smaller targets with then throw mjolnir miss and wait for the hammer to come home.(it does use bubble though)
I love Thor, and love playing him in Rivals, but I think they really need to tweak his kit a bit. The ult is one of the most underwhelming in the game, his overall damage output is sub-par when compared to other characters both in similar roles and over the game as a whole (even taking into account his role as a Vanguard), and his survivability is going to tank when his Seasonal Bonus of +100 HP is dropped. If he's played really well, he can be effective, but you really need to go that extra mile to squeeze value out of him.
Overall this game is open queue and some hereo's especially the "meta" ones are overall always going to shine, and right now Strange and Magneto hold those lines down very well, but you have people picking up Wolverine figuring out how to counter these bland shield comps. Hopefully more people will find success in comp building instead of looking for buffs / nerfs!
@@ChungusJr - I couldn't agree more! I'll give the devs full credit in that they've made almost the entire roster powerful in their own niche, with only a handful of examples that may be over-tuned, or a bit lacking. If they keep Thor at 600 hp instead of dropping him back to 500 at season's end, I think he'll still be in a decent place. That 100 HP hit will hurt if they go through with it, though.
Currently a vanguard player, Id love to play Thor more but I struggle solo tanking but you videos have made me confident to keep at it! Also, top 69 in the world...noice heh heh, I will see myself out.
Hey man love your videos. I tried thor after finding your channel and he has become my favourite character by far. I am having some trouble when against penny any advice on how to counter her? You said thor handles mines well, what did you mean by that? Do I just aggressively dash towards the mine generator?
totally random question but is there a reason you spam ur melee or is tat just like an adhd tick? i only ask cause im one of the goofs that like my hit percentage stat so doesnt randomly swinging mess up ur percentage?
caring about hit percentage is an adhd tick... swinging is incase there's an invisible enemy in front of you trynna sneak around. Or if you get doved on you're already swinging etc.
sure bro, there’s no way you go 20-5 without healers lmao especially not using Thor, he doesn’t that have sustainability to heal that much lmao nice try
@@michaelmontalvo7441 Someone is a hater for no reason, you know there are health packs in the game and Thor gets a 100 shield every time he uses his dash or hammer throw... And how do you know that the other team didn't have heals, if they didnt then yeah it is more than possible he went 20-5. If you are just going to randomly hate, go back to OW.
I’ve been finding success with Thor’s ultimate in Platinum, getting 3-4 kills with it, turning the tide of the game. I just wait patiently and wait for them to burn all their ults and when their attention is focused on other things I fly up and smite ‘em. It works for now, but at higher ranks like Grandmaster i gotta restrain myself more. Thanks for the guide, especially on how to play around thorforce. May All-Father guide you ⚡️⚡️⚡️
He really does need a tweak. I mean, they apparently just buffed Hela's ult, and she's already over-tuned. But if they drop Thor's seasonal bonus after this season, he loses 100 hp off his total. :|
that would've been a great section to cover! I think Thor is in a good spot at the moment though and can work very well in a lot of situations. Champs inherently counter others, no one will sadly always feel good but we can all agree he's fun asf!
15 Marvel Characters I think would be super interesting to see come to Marvel Rivals. let me know your thoughts and what you think about this list. Madcap Doorman Scarecrow The Orb Doop Nimrod Dr. Voodoo(only bc I like him) Singularity(only bc I like her) Golem Daimon Hellstrom Apocalypse Gladiator Mystique( Or id prefer Raze Darkholme) Dormammu Ares Honorable mentions Arkon The Magnificent and White Tiger Fan Made symbiote characters thoughts? Loki bonded by the symbiote Mister E. Guilt Hulk bonded by the symbiote Big Mother This one is gonna be crazy, if Hiro-Kala had a child with Scarlet Witch. This kid is trained by the Gods of Olympus till a war starts and the child is sent away to earth where he learns to become a hero and is given the Uni-Power after years of being a superhero he meets a woman named Jean Grey they have a child.This child is accident bonded by Toxic the symbiote before it was and was born with both parents powers and abilities and after the death of his parents he is guided by Amatsu-Mikaboshi. With this guide he finds All-Black. Now that's an insane hero/villain. (you decide)
@ChungusJr idk if I speak for anyone else, but I would love a hulk guide similar to the Thor guides you've created. They've been so helpful and I don't understand hulk at all lol
5:00 "In reality (your death was caused by) your lack of positioning or awareness" SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK. People in metal ranks think they are UNKILLABLE if they're being healed and if they die the ONLY reason is that they received 0 heals at any point ever. It's the most annoying thing.
18:24 I feel like I will never get above Diamond in games like these because I really dislike the concept of ult tracking and "baiting" ults. Like I completely understand the purpose of doing it and the strategy, but it's just not fun mentally for me to be playing chess with the enemy team. Like when I'm playing Apex mechanical skill and positioning is way more important, but there's so much healing output in Rivals with these "psudo-invincibility" support ults that last so long
13:23 SPOTTED, only 99 sr away from diamond bruh ive been having way too much fun on this hero. Gonna start preserving that awakening tho because i did realize i was spamming it a LOT
I feel like a huge percentage of this advice relies on your teammates being good at their jobs. High ranked people forget how bad people are at their roles at lower ranks. The easy games are the ones where everyone is on the same page and they’re few and far between in the lower ranks. Thor is 100% a diving tank in the lower ranks but more of a hybrid later on. I’d be interested for a guide on how to GET to grandmaster not a guide on how to play in grandmaster where everyone is good. That’s not very useful for a majority of the people watching your videos.
Im a cap Lord, but find this video very helpful. I think some of my mistakes is fully committing to back line instead of being pesty. Youre right, that knocking players off high ground or position is good enough.
Get in, do your job, get out. This tip helped me so much.
@mcmurray360 yeah. And understanding the job isn't to wipe the backline every time. I try to think of Cap as a dive support. Not primary dive
CAP LORD naw that icon is straight gigachad I love it
This is what I've been trying to deal with playing Cap. My stats look like ass sometimes but I'm doing a lot. Just not getting many kills. So people usually say "useless tank" when they have no idea what tanks even do.
Cap diving with Iron Fist can be insane, especially if you have the movement and damage boost from Thor.
I play mainly Adam Warlock due to nobody wants to play strategist for some reason, and on diamond, the enemy vanguards start to solely target me due to my lack of mobility and it's driving me up the wall when my vanguards completely ignore me and blame me for no healing afterwards. Thank you for mentioning that part, I thought I was losing my mind.

For sure! The best players turn around frequently and are always alert and aren't as reactive but are more proactive.

LET'S GOOOOOO as a Thor main I appreciate this detailed guide
Asgardian Yapper 💪🔨
Great advice for climbing! Being able to maintain and not get tilted and accepting that there will be losses what terrific advice!
This is exactly the kind of guide I was hoping for. Love the gameplay commentary. Keep making great content!
been a little stuck in comp not knowing where ive gone wrong. Awesome Guide, heaps of great advice
GOOD LUCK
I had bro on 2x on accident and I was so confused why it was so fast
LOL
THIS is what i needed, so far climbed to Plat 3 as basically only Thor. Keep up the amazing videos 👏
💪🔨
18:29 was there a cut in the video or is there a way for you to cut Thor’s ult short?
That was a video cut, sorry for the confusion!
Yooo thank you very much for that inside guide!
Just watching your games has made me better. Thanks man keep up the content !
I was literally just looking up thor guides last night, because I got rolled by a thor and I really wanted to learn him but I suck at him. I couldn't find a SINGLE good one and now I see this 🙏

They just need to remove the 2 second cooldown for his moves. Make it so it’s just the thor force that it’s relied on.

totally random question but is there a reason you spam ur melee or is tat just like an adhd tick? i only ask cause im one of the goofs that like my hit percentage stat so doesnt randomly swinging mess up ur percentage?
could be adhd i just like swingin, the sounds in this game are satisfying asf
nobody really cares about accuracy percentage.
caring about hit percentage is an adhd tick...
swinging is incase there's an invisible enemy in front of you trynna sneak around. Or if you get doved on you're already swinging etc.
Hey great guide, thank you! Where is that beginner guide you're referring to for that canceling combo plz?
Or is it just left click, right click, left click?
Bro changed my kd for real, I go 20-5 on average as tank with no healers now thanks to you
sure bro, there’s no way you go 20-5 without healers lmao especially not using Thor, he doesn’t that have sustainability to heal that much lmao nice try

Babe wake up, Jeremy posted
I use my awakening as more of a push back. Or to just drain a tank’s health. Usually doing both at the same time
As long as you're safe home boy you pop dat shii
I would love a small Thor buff
He doesn’t need a buff bro
He really does need a tweak. I mean, they apparently just buffed Hela's ult, and she's already over-tuned. But if they drop Thor's seasonal bonus after this season, he loses 100 hp off his total. :|

I made it to Plat II without seeing this video… watching this I’m sure I’ll be able to get to high diamond or higher 💪🏻
15 Marvel Characters I think would be super interesting to see come to Marvel Rivals. let me know your thoughts and what you think about this list.
Madcap
Doorman
Scarecrow
The Orb
Doop
Nimrod
Dr. Voodoo(only bc I like him)
Singularity(only bc I like her)
Golem
Daimon Hellstrom
Apocalypse
Gladiator
Mystique( Or id prefer Raze Darkholme)
Dormammu
Ares
Honorable mentions Arkon The Magnificent and White Tiger
Fan Made symbiote characters thoughts?
Loki bonded by the symbiote Mister E.
Guilt Hulk bonded by the symbiote Big Mother
This one is gonna be crazy, if Hiro-Kala had a child with Scarlet Witch. This kid is trained by the Gods of Olympus till a war starts and the child is sent away to earth where he learns to become a hero and is given the Uni-Power after years of being a superhero he meets a woman named Jean Grey they have a child.This child is accident bonded by Toxic the symbiote before it was and was born with both parents powers and abilities and after the death of his parents he is guided by Amatsu-Mikaboshi.

I remember a Jeff did his ult and spit my team off the edge. I made sure he joined them. He's fun
that's gigachad
I run into this problem as Thor where my dps's end up doing a third of my damage
:gigachad:
Who is your go to when thor gets picked by someone else/banned?
Hulk or Dr Strange / Loki when I have to fill!
@ChungusJr idk if I speak for anyone else, but I would love a hulk guide similar to the Thor guides you've created. They've been so helpful and I don't understand hulk at all lol
I always seem to struggle against Wolverine, any tips when facing that hairy little badger?
Try to stay as alert as you can be while he's flying around, and if you find yourself in a 1v1 pop awakening and burst his ass
Thank you Jeremy

What mean those icon above the healt bar ?
Thor is exactly the same as a paladins tank I used to play, I think his name was azraan, so when I played with Thor it was like muscle memory to me.
BEHOLD THE GOD OF THUNDER!
Getting tilted is really tough. I just got absolutely giga stomped in Gold and its so frustrating because we never stood a chance
30-40-30 rule really helps. Some are automatically losses and autoside of your control - some you would win even if playing terrible
18:24 I feel like I will never get above Diamond in games like these because I really dislike the concept of ult tracking and "baiting" ults.
Like I completely understand the purpose of doing it and the strategy, but it's just not fun mentally for me to be playing chess with the enemy team.
Like when I'm playing Apex mechanical skill and positioning is way more important, but there's so much healing output in Rivals with these "psudo-invincibility" support ults that last so long
Why do you consistently use basic attacks when you're not engaging? Is that a personal thing or is there a legitimate reason behind it?
Thats a personal thing I do it to when playing Thor
13:23 SPOTTED, only 99 sr away from diamond bruh ive been having way too much fun on this hero. Gonna start preserving that awakening tho because i did realize i was spamming it a LOT
G O A T! Eh sometimes a game calls for the ol awaken spam 💪🔨
I really can't decide which Thor skin should i buy when i will have enough blue credits. Love and thunder or Herald of Thunder. Both look cool.
i think your healer should release a guide on healing
That’s my goat
What is staggering?
YEOOOO 4k60fps lets gooo
FINALLY THE CHUNGUS 60FPS
Swing in the air when you use your ult
11:08 - PAIN
Lol Thor's do be using that awakening on CD... everytime I see that happening I just call out to my bud "this thor doesn't know" and we bully them.
excellent.

i hate how people say vanguard instead of tank and strategist instead of healer. omg
