I hope this post is still allowed as League of Legends is like 15 years old.

As I’ve been posting on [email protected] , the game seems getting quite enshittified lately, making especially difficult for new players to join.

As a potential consequence, the game got quite difficult lately. Before, you could still win a game as a casual player. Nowadays I feel like casual players left and there’s only “serious gamers” around, especially in 5v5 normal games.

Anyway, all of that to say that Marvel Rivals has been on my radar as a replacement. Not the biggest fan of hero shooters, but gameplay seems fun and engaging. Is anyone here playing it?

    I’m playing it, I really enjoy it and I never played Overwatch. I was and am still a Heroes of the Storm player, which is fun and I like.

    I think at the end of the day it’s just fun. 6v6 and you get to mess with your ults. There’s characters that you don’t need good aim for and need to be strategic instead. You can also go ham like Wolverine, Iron Fist and Cap. It’s just fun to dive in and go for it. There’s only three classes: tank, DPs and healer or Vanguard, Duelist and Strategist. You’ll pick it up quickly and the help menu is just F1 so you can read about the abilities at any point.

    If you prefer a third person game that’s more MOBA, there’s Deadlock. It has multiple lanes and minions to push. Marvel Rivals is more like ARAM and people using their ults to do insane cheating-like moves.
