Continuing the discussion from Overwatch is better than Marvel Rivals:
What the original poster of course meant was, there’s not much to say on the topic of why Overwatch is better than Marvel Rivals, or is there?
Personally I’ve always liked the original cast. If only they hadn’t gutted heroes like Zaryia, Ball etc. and outmoded Mcree, Zen and other 2 button heroes. It might be a half decent game.
What I don’t understand is that this community has been alienated, lied too. And overall just been treated so poorly by blizzard. and they swear Marvel rivals will die in a week
I genuinely hope none of these people find themselves in an abusive relationship because they’ll never escape it.
“Overwatch is better than rivals”
*continues to describe things about OW that are bad.
Yeah it’s the same people that tell you there are no cheaters in the matches and that Aaron never lied about PvE.
Just look how DESPERATELY eager the OW content creators on Youtube are to ditch it and move to something else.
This is a game that burned its fans over and over. It deserves the level of abandonment it has. It’s totally earned.
The sooner Rivals nails the coffin shut, the sooner somebody competent can spin off the IP or leave it dead.
dude, Marvel Rivals made history. Steamdb numbers are crazy, twitch numbers are crazy. OW numbers went to 8000 after MR release so it really killed overwatch. Sadly MR is a phenomenal game. I can’t stop playing it. I wish OW the best, but in order to succed, they have to fire the entire competitive matchmaking team.
Overwatch is better than MR for a variety of reasons. However, my new favorite reason is precision.
In MR, when you use certain hero abilities, there is no precision to them. For example, Thor’s Ultimate and Captain America’s Shield Ground Slam. Both fun abilities but without any guidable precision to them, they just feel disappointing.
In Overwatch, nearly all Ultimates have some kind of precision to them. Want to launch D.Va’s Ultimate right over the payload? You can do that. Want to use Mei’s Snowball right near a group of enemies? You can do that. Want to fire off Pharah’s Barrage directly at one or two enemies at a specific elevation? You can do that.
MR lacks the precision that Overwatch has and for that main reason (among many others), Overwatch is better.
Both games do things better than the other.
MR has some balance tweaks to do of course but this game so far has been a whole lot more fun than Overwatch for the past 4 years.
I think Marvel Rivals will compete with Overwatch and that will hopefully push the devs of OW to actually pull their finger out and make some needed changes to the game.
Yeah … its literally novelty. Rivals has glaring issues that will surface very quickly. People are figuring out that running goats in rivals is OP due to insane sustain.
Tank and supp design in rivals is both very bad and extremely overtuned to make up for the clunk
Dps is fun, yes, but will sooin fall behind in the metagame
I still like both and hopefully, both can succeed and exist together. Competition is good and MR has amazing and beautiful maps. I hope we see some map reworks in OW2.
Im sorry but marvel rivals maps gameplay wise are… well Release colloseo looks likea masterpiece comapred to taht wakanda hybrid map.
I haven’t even ran into any 3-3 comps yet, currently I am Platinum 3 and quite a bit into the top 500 on EU servers. But I will cross that bridge when I come to it
lmao… that’s just an excuse for people with no skill who only want to be damage and get stomped because of it
Abusive relationship
I am mid gold (Basically top 2% last I remember) and no. I play every role but I can definitely tell.
Dps feels the most fun but support and tank are much higher impact roles
I just changed my MR account name from “MercyMain” to “ZenyattaMain” because I was being bullied for unknown reason regardless win or lose. I had great kill and heal numbers. Now everyone fears me instead. This never happened in OW.
Yes OW community is more mature indeed.
Overwatch will always be the greater game.
A shame it got replaced by Overwatch 2.
It really is, and it’s sad to see so many people don’t realize how conditioned they are. It’s OK to acknowledge something new being better than something old. Especially when that something old has shown time and time again how much it doesn’t appreciate you.
Same I can’t stop playing there’s just something addictive about rivals, especially being in the losing team is incredibly frustrating in ow2 but not MR
I don’t even want to try new season tbh, zero reason to comeback, blizz should be afraid
Understandable. Me too!
Also I hate Jeff.
I’d say it’s too soon to say make Judgements on Marcel Rival’s it’s still has that new and fresh factor that makes everyone automatically mire positive then they otherwise would’ve.
I think one things thaf Marvel rivals does do tho that Overwatch failed to do is improve the gameplay designs of heroes by giving them more then an overwatch character has. as well they seem to have avoided pitfalls that Overwatch fell for when designing characters.
for Example Black widow can’t one shot most of the cast (without dmg boost) neither can hawk eye and those characters are still very good.
So id say to people who are saying either game is better then the other… Wait
