Punisher and maybe even starlord need recoil I don’t understand why they don’t

Someone 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 tell Danny koo to get off his soap box and let this character actually be balanced for once. There’s no reason why Luna can just get out of being stun locked making some ults LITERALLY useless against her. it’s maddening how they just keep on buffing her. She’s literally better than most dps heroes as a support character. She’s broken in every sense of the word.😕

So many lord spider mans that suck and will never swap. Its so bad right now. QP, ranked, it doesn't matter. Game puts you in 3s role queue ain't gonna prolong it at all.

I just had a match where my team banned my pre-selected character.

So I said "alright guess I'll learn Black Cat then".

I played the game. I was actively playing. I was trying my best I was just doing badly. I didn't afk or hard throw or feed or anything, I tried my best to play the character, using E to get money, then flanking and trying to combo with whips and pursuit.
I was toxic about them doing banning the character and said they're a "no skill worthless pos", but I did not throw and I wasn't muted/suspended for being toxic.

We won. We actually stomped the enemy team, hard. They didn't even push to the first point.

My team asked the enemy team to report me for throwing. Enemy team said they would if my team reported their thrower.
So they agreed. Everyone in the match I assume reported me.

Soon as it ended I got hit with a suspension for 24 hours for throwing.

All I did was play a character I don't normally play, and that is enough to be banned for throwing.
My previous match I was SVP, and the one before that too. I didn't throw in those either.

What's hilarious (not really) is today I had a guy that went afk TWO MATCHES IN A ROW, and another one that spent all match punching walls and doing nothing to punish us for being "clowns".

Did they get banned?

Nope.

I did for playing badly.

Just me wanting to share my take since I’ve seen a lot of people acting like Cloak and Dagger is this broken, unkillable hero this season who needs nerfs, and should be banned, etc etc

Don’t get me wrong, she’s a solid pick, but in my opinion? Probably towards the weaker half of the support roster.

The main argument people present for why she’s so strong is the fact that between bubble, fade, and freeze, she can live nearly forever. This isn’t wrong at all, CnD’s survivability is very good this season, is probably the support you go if what you need is to just never die. But why is this not seriously overpowered?

Simple, CnD’s output in terms of what she does *for her team* isn’t as strong in other supports, especially in this scenario where she’s using all her cooldowns on herself. CnD’s direct healing with her primary fire isn’t particularly strong, most of her strong burst and sustain healing comes from her bubble. So, if she’s being forced to use it on herself, her team has lost a lot of their healing and find it much easier to be pressured back. CnD also doesn’t provide good damage, or too much utility if she’s forced to use fade to save herself, rather than for the team. And on top of this, she just flat out can do nothing while she’s frozen.

People forget about how powerful simply removing a cooldown the enemy could use is, and forcing CnD to use her cooldowns for herself is good value that you and your team, if you’re competent, can capitalize on.

To also address a counter argument I get surprisingly often, yes, CnD’s bubble and ice block do an AOE of healing around her. But her bubble is only a 5 meter radius, and her ice block is 8 meters, so unless she’s playing very close to her frontline for some reason, so close she’s making herself an easy target to poke out most likely, she’s not going to heal them when using her abilities.

Again, don’t misunderstand me. CnD is a good character, Ice Block is a strong team-up. But acting like they’re broken is just… no. Not at all if you ask me. Especially because, being honest… ice block is the weaker of her team-ups. The most powerful tools in this game are usually either utility or movement, and as such, her Hood team-up giving her so much more utility is incredible. Seriously, a window that reduces damage your team takes after healing them and giving them heal boost? Amazing tool to help against strong front to back comps to help your team take space while taking heavy poke. And giving blind wall a healing reduction effect is so strong to help your team secure kills or take space. Imo, all CnD players should start on this team-up, and only switch to Ice Block if the enemy team is running a heavy dive comp and they need the extra survivability. Otherwise, the Hood team-up is almost always better.

Just wanting to share my thoughts, hope my ramblings made sense, and thanks for reading said ramblings. Have a nice day, you wonderful person you.

It's not competitive no need to get upset with your team. I just 5-5 Iron Man complain about me being 5-5. Dude relax this is the time where people try new characters, learn combos, learn to bait cooldowns. Let people have fun it's just quick play it'll be over soon.

I got the most finals , The most dmg and the least amount of deaths and I still don’t know what I could of done for my team to win this match ….

Hey ya'll. I wanted to get the communities opinion on what the balance team could potentially do to make punisher feel less oppressive (emphasis on the shotgun) without him becoming unviable.

My main issue with him is that he is a poke and psuedo-dive character when playing with the shotgun that has quite a bit of tankiness that poke or dive characters shouldn't have. So dropping his health to 275 or even 250 would keep him viable, but weakens his ability to sustain a long dive or walk down the enemy tanks with his shotgun.

What is y'all's opinion on a good punisher nerf, or if he even needs one in the first place?

(Reminder, this is just a friendly discussion about a video game, so please keep it civil)

Is it yall turn to be the instalock/throwers yall right home and complain about?

Not looking up at the flyers, not looking behind them, banning characters that arent worth it and easy to deal with, popping the dumbest ults, not trying to push or die on point to stall, always typing mid team fight, running the most atrocious comps and not swapping, especially white fox and jubilee players good lord. My beef with supportpool is over with for now, because these 2 are just a different breed.

Like if the better character that YOU didn't wanna ban by the way is open to play and the enemy team is seeing massive success with that character why are you still running the inferior option? "I'm not comfortable on characters I don't know" It's Fucking CLOAK AND DAGGER! For people so adamant on telling Tanks and Dps when to swap yall seem to not take your own advise

I genuinely believe most people still perceive Gambit through the lens of top 0,2% streamers and their own PTSD without actually playing with or against him due to how often he gets banned.

Gambit doesn't have that much raw healing, his cards have a spread and no pierce, so on average Invisible Woman will have ~20% more healing in the neutral game. He is 250 hp which means he will die more easily in most scenarios and his neutral overall is barely better than those of other main supports, if better at all.

And his ult is NOT a free fight winner for 99% of the player base. It lasts 8 seconds, considering the lack of coordination at least 3 of them are usually spent just running towards the enemy team or walking out of the corner. Not to mention the option to use your ults in response(Magneto, Emma, Luna, Cap, maybe even Starlord or Elsa) to limit their momentum

And finally, your average Joe Filler who sees Gambit slip through the ban phase wont be able to do much and true Gambit mains are as rare as diamonds because its hard to main a character who's banned in every other game.

Gambit should stop being the boogieman and should be treated like Angela, Loki or Torch - solid but rare heroes with potential to be demonic in the hands of someone with enough hours, not some magical all-powerful game-winning character

Disney+, Ranked, Twitch, Ignite... how many exclusive recolors does one man need?

Config and game-altering mods obviously count as cheats, if you got banned from using *those* types of mods in the past then you did this to yourself, Users who claim THOSE mods are bannable are correct, however, Cosmetic/Custom model or UI mods are generally safe simply due to the fact they barely alter gameplay at all, similar thing with Sonic Racing Crossworlds, cosmetic mods are allowed but code-changing mods are far more risky.

Stay safe of course.

I think her niche of solo sustain against dive last season was strong enough to justify her, especially when paired with another healer like CnD or Loki who tend to be a bit more flighty instead of standing their ground. Even in terms of handling dive, most true dive characters don’t need to play by her rules anymore or even care about her self sustain.

She really got the short end of the stick in terms of teamups. Black cat team up just gives her better resource economy, and the Psylocke one just gives her a better melee mode. White fox tails as a resource isn’t really an issue to deal with and the psionic fox team up gives her max melee mode duration which gets canceled out of early 9 times out of 10. Not to mention she probably has the worst support ult in the game since all it takes to stop it is cc’ing her by either keeping her in the air or just giving the rocket ult treatment to her.

Luna’s teamup is white fox taunt and a CC purification, makes her significantly better at clutching and self peeling since half the dive roster either relies on a CC to start their combo or can’t afford to be taunted into a freeze. I’d even go as far to say Luna has a better taunt than white fox in general.

Just about every healer got an ability that enables a completely different playstyle that allows them to take the place of a main healer or gives them tool that completely puts a part of their kit into overdrive.
Gambit can completely block chokepoints and boost his healing numbers like crazy with mag TU.
CnD can cycle cooldowns to literally ignore divers, Mantis’s healing is through the roof, and even Adam can sustain people through more than just his abilities.

To follow with the strength of other teamups, I think she could keep the Black cat TU and lose the Psylocke one in favor for something that alters her base stance. Maybe a nightcrawler teamup allowing her to chain 2 teleports to eachother or a Doom team up that extends the invincibility of her taunt.

Hopefully in an upcoming season one of the new characters can give her a different team up because her current set doesn’t enable a new play style or give newfound utility, if anything it just encourages bad habits of staying in melee mode too long or expending cooldowns early just because they’re available.

I had majority stock in NightCrawler being a deulist but upon some revelations regarding lore I am now switching to him most assuredly being a strategist. Why you may ask? Here are my reasons.

During the Krakoa ere NightCrawler obtains a sword that is fashioned from the very hope that he has in his heart. This sword has the ability to heal other of affilictions, harm magical beings, and. The X-Men are in the Krakoa era in the games setting which is the same time NighCrawler recieves the HopeSword.

Gorr is being release alongside NightCrawler who weilds the All Black which is basically the polar opposite of the HopeSword. Gorr seeks to kill gods and destroy peoples faith while NightCrawler is a believer and seeks to uplift faith. Gorr is the polar opposite to NighCrawler.

Let me know if you would like to invest in this stock.

For example, Bizarro would be Hulk, or Joker would be Gambit, Jason Todd would Star Lord. Poison Ivy would be Mantis and Artemis would be Angela

I think the trend of added characters that were not meant to heal into a support role needs to end, they butchered gambit and I will stand by that.

Isso já faz uns dias, mas durante a segunda rodada de bans de uma partida o jogo baniu um personagem que absolutamente ninguém do meu time selecionou (no caso o Loki)

I’m in Virginia servers and get many children in my mid day matches; when do the real people queue?
