About the same here, and all the talk here and from my friends is pushing me closer and closer to actually wanting to try it out.
Bro, tell me about it. I've never been much for shooters because I just never put in the time to get my aim good. But even then, there are heroes I can play really effectively even with garbage aim. I'm so into it I've even looked into some aim trainer applications to try and work on improving my aim overall so I can play better. A shooter has never gotten its claws so deep into me, not even Overwatch 1.
I'm glad to see it's really doing well. Everyone was worried it was going to be mobile game trash when it first premiered. It's great to see it has a massive amount of soul and they're clearly interested in putting out a high quality product.
Yeah, I remember everyone looking at it at first and thought it was going to be some garbage slop that'll die in a week. Turns out it's quality product that clearly has signs that the devs really miss old OW and they actually put a lot of thought into replicating the feel of playing some characters. If you played the Insomniac Spider-Man games, controlling Spider-Man's webswinging comes second nature. Meanwhile despite numerous attempts, this is the first game to actually feel like you're playing Iron Man. They could easily take the template of Iron Man's gameplay here, add in some more moves and mechanics and boom, there's your solo Iron Man game ready to go.
4 new characters and 3 new maps is a huge amount of content for 1 season, in Overwatch terms it's basically like they just released Marvel Rivals 2. The nerfs and buffs seem pretty reasonable as well. It's interesting that Cloak & Dagger are the only heroes that got a buff after the season bonus thing - I guess the devs feel like they are underperforming still (kind of true looking at their win rate being 2nd lowest out of supports, next to Jeff)
I think part of the problem too is that Mantis and Luna Snow (and their respective ults) are just too damn good. I'm rather shocked neither of them got a slight adjustment. I think most people wouldn't argue knocking Luna's ultimate from 12 seconds to 8-10 seconds.
The whole thing with Luna's ult, despite being the best in the game, can be countered by just 1-shotting her. Hawkeye can headshot her with a charged arrow while Iron Man and Magneto ults both do the job and they are very common picks. Same thing applies to Mantis.
One of the maps (Sanctum Sanctorum) is also for a FFA game mode. So yeah, they're dumping all sorts of content for Season 1 compared to OW. Season 2 (3 months from now) is supposedly going to be Ultron and Blade. Ultron was suppose to be Season 1 but got delayed to Season 2. Blade is supposedly captured by Dracula, so ending the season/defeating Dracula will release him, so that's why he comes in Season 2.
If they ever release PvE content Blizzard will be deservedly meme'd on for all eternity.
These all make sense, Hawkeye going from 0 to 100 in like a second was absurd, SG ult was probably the worst in the game, and Storm's projectiles were laughably slow.
These are more questionable, giving characters faster MS out of sprint is a very tricky proposition, less dmg - how much less? Hela definitely needed a nerf, but i hope they didn't go the tried and tested route of "nuke into unviability".
SG ult was really good if you were in a corridor and could bounce the ult off walls so it would hit multiple times very quickly since it only hits for 150 each time it connects. Unfortunately there isn't actually a lot of corridors along payload routes or around capture points, so you would be lucky to get a second bounce in a lot of cases and those consecutive bounces would be far enough apart in time that people could easily avoid it or quickly recover with healing. Hawkeye's charge was also stupid as fuck since it was only 0.9 second charge time on the arrow pull and 0.9 second charge time of aiming to build the focus bonus, so you just have to look at someone for a second to throw an arrow for most of a non-tank's HP.
Imagine all the fuckery you could pull with loki in a map like that im salivating
