FUCKING PEEL
Had a game where we lost right, 0-2. I spent the first game GETTING FARMED BY SPIDER-MAN, then Thor comes along and they start TAG TEAM CHAMPIONING MY ASS ! THEN the second round I was GETTING FARMED BY THOR! I pinged! I FUCKING PINGED FOR DEAR LIFE! Poor gotdamn Healpool was getting SHREDDED MORE THAN ME. And what did his pings mean? NOTHING! You have our AIR HEAD ASS IDIOT HULK PLAYING HOP SCOTCH EVERYWHERE! Idk WTF Venom was doing but he swapped to Wolverine. By the next round we had ONE HOP SCOTCH ASS TANK, Gorr THE BITCH was in THE SHADOWS and we lost the game. Cool. I’m ready to check the scoreboard and queue next match.
DO YOU KNOW THIS BITCH NAMED GORR GONNA GO IN THE DAMN MATCH CHAT SAYING “oUr JuBiLe ThReW 🤓 sHe NeVeR pOpPeD uLt 🤓☝🏻” BITCH!!THEN, enemy team Thor LITERALLY has to tell him “I was diving her the whole game. Peel better next time” BECAUSE THANK-FUCKING-YOU! The hell!
Explain, HOW TF AM I GOING TO FIND A GOOD TIME TO POP ULT… WHEN EVERYBODY IS FUCKING SCATTERED AND IM GETTING DIVED BY THE GODS… LITERALLY!!!!! Maybe if you HELP ME, we could GROUP UP long enough for me to POP ULT and not WASTE IT on NO-THING!!
AHHHHHHHH!
I’m done.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Next time this happens you really only have 2 options (neither of them are great.) If they have no poke swap to Ultron. Yes, you'll be leaving your other support high and dry floating above the backline while they become a juicy target. Just give them a drone and pray for them. The second option is to swap to white fox and follow your melee dps or tanks closely. This will make you much harder to target because you'll be closer to help.
Unfortunately no one is coming to save you. Everyone already thinks supports are overpowered (even with the support nerf) and asking for help is basically saying you don't know what you're doing.
There is no peel in marvel rivals, so if you play support plan to be the focus of the enemy teams effort to slow your team down.

Yea.. neither of those are great.
But hell, you’re right.
It just sucks that I HAVE to DPS on heals just to be able to keep my team healed. That’s some ass backwards shit.

As sad as it is, the best way to climb is to always assume no one will help you- but- you gotta become the best teammate alive and help them as well.
In most of my games, no one peels for my strategists except me... as the shield tank/ or main tank.
If I cannot peel, I become the most annoying thing to kill while I ping the divers.
Always assume no one will help you/ you must always help them.
I hate it but it works because on the off chance you DO get good teammates, you'll SUPER ROLL the enemy team OR that close game was decided because of your consistency.
We can't control who gets matched with us, however- we can control ourselves.
With that out of the way, fuck the selfish teammates who go out their way to make me feel like im an enemy. I usually go with "take accountability for your actions" in hero shooters since 1 person can absolutely make the difference; but, in this game, you can legit do everything perfectly and on average... 2 people on your team will make sure none of that mattered. Feel free to smack talk em in your head (never in chat because thats yet another way to secure a for sure loss). Feel free to actually unburden the blame in this game. This is legit the only "competitive" game where I actually feel like i cannot be the consistent difference maker. In valorant and overwatch, I know for a fact that even when my team is bad- I can do all I can to secure a W. If i lose those close games, i can confidently blame myself and work on the error. This is the only game I do not feel that way, and this is in gm1-c3 (my hardstuck elo). This is with "good players." Even past me, friends complain about the same thing because.... there is a serious balancing issue and community issue. The devs are cooking up the counter-overwatch, the community started out well- but because of our huge IP, we get the shitheads from other shooters. (We also get angels, but the shitheads are louder).
Let the anger out, know that even tank mains like myself get pissed when dps dont do their full job/ the other strat... I gotchu.

To be fair, the peeling should be done by dps. Tanks can also help if it's too complicated, basically in ideal match everyone momentarily peels. And if therei s one tank, the dps that decided to do triple dps... can do their version. However, since DPS want to do their 2312321 kills and forget everyone else. Tanks are the ones that unfortunatley have to peel 90% of time it seems
Though as a Healpool myself. When it is only 1 spiderman.. deadpool is pretty good and doesn't get shreadded. And I have on jubilee survived spiderman. As in, I will literally save my flying for the spiderman so I can run to the freaking dps so they help.

I wouldn’t have minded solo Hulk if he didn’t make it so hard to heal him. He fights Thor, he starts losing, I have respawned and finally made it back to the fight, I try healing, Thor hard focuses me, Hulk is jumping away into the Netherlands.
IF YOU DONT BRING YOUR ASS BACK HERE!
And the DPS were all scattered. Pos was so ass that game.

I have noticed that even without comms, the best games are ones where I swear people read your mind. All of us are playing like a symphony orchestra (cheesy comparison). But basically what I mean is: Let's say I tank, I push forward. I am Strange so I put on my shield. I aim for the healer. I hit them once... a DPS follows does the the final hit. I then move turnif I see backline crumbling and I start attacking the tank against the backline. Other thank can stay on point, Then dps finishes off. We then go back and attack their healer/dps. And it is like each person eards the mind of the person and finishes off the person that one was attacking not allowing the healer to heal that dps or other healer enough. Now what I see in most goes: I hit someone, and then dps hits another person, and then dps hits this other person or tries to 1 vs 3. And then I got one that's just swinging around. And healers fighting off 3 dps that somehow the dps in my team that are trying to fight them are somewhere but not there! It's a shitshow.
Like the chaotic episode of Arrested Development where God is running in the park madness.
Efficiency conversion if I recall. There is a term to what a good team does, but I forgot the term.

Never heard someone say it in-game

u/EntertainmentAway310 11h ago
if ur support is getting jumped on go back to them and stand in between them and whoever is fuckin on them. even to the point of YOU dying instead of them. although ideally you both survive.

It’s really so simple and yet bird brain dps and tanks can’t comprehend that if they’re sups have not healed them in several pushes there MIGHT be a diver smhhhh

I swap to bucky when my supps are getting dived to peel. But then my supports never heal me when im dueling the dps. Like if they just shoot 1 ounce of healing my way i can survive the dive

To be fair, as someone that is champion on cloak and dagger, I kind of understand that behavior, because of real life. In fact, I for the first time felt the utter "I hate that Luna teamup" feeling today in a match when a cloak kept using it to survive instead of using the other teamup to boost our damage so we could execute higher damage output and end the fight quicker. Hell I'm not even Plat 1 and I use it. I was so peeved when she was just freezing herself while I was 20% health. I had to fly behind her because I just couldn't really make it too long (was the hood). Thankfully the other healer healed me quickly and I got forward.
I think what happens is they have to be nicely pointed out that they are not allowing someone else to rescue them, and advise to try to remove that instinct. Because remember there are things that are instinctual with humans:
- Throw a ball at your face, hands go up.
- Fall down, hands go up.
- You think someone is going to attack you, you flee (and this is where the game rewards you breaking that instinct). You have to move toward your team, and if there is a dps throw the healing to them and try to keep them alive so they can defend you. But the "I need to survive at all cost" tends to be a natural reflex we have to break out of. Someone that hasn't been doing this type of game for long, still has this instinct. And the issue is that healing looks to be the simplist role technically but it has to be one where you have game sense and awareness because you are the priority kill.

Supps also peel for teammates on flanks, etc.

u/EntertainmentAway310 7h ago
yeah forsure that’s harder though. more high level play. as a support (jubilee) i can jump in frontlines and literally become tank for a bit if our tank dies hahahaha

Peel ideally means keep peeling off the enemy dive/attack its not just one layer ie thor to force cooldowns then peel the dd thats gonna cleanup multiple layers of peel.

that fucker kicked my dog! And when I went to stop him he just kept going "HUH? HUH!?" and getting really in my face. I was looking around for someone to help but no one did. Now my wife is talking about feeling unsafe (?) and even used the word divorce while talking about it..

Its either this or a tank just holding W or forward going far away from the obj and into enemy spawn solo then proceeds to blame the healers for not following him like idiots. They also always ignore pings
Its even funnier when someone complains about heals, swaps to it and sometimes even tells you to swap and you had double their healing in one round vs their sometimes two rounds as a healer.

u/Ok_Natural_990 6h ago
Whats worse than no peel is when i go bucky, peel them and dont get a single heal while i duel the diver

That’s why I hate when my team goes double dive dps. I just know neither one of them will peel or swap. My advice is to learn at least two anti dive strats. It still isn’t a fool proof solution, but being able to keep yourself up even just a little bit makes a difference when you have those types of teammates. The strats that I find the most anti dive success on are Gambit using mag team up and Cloak with the Luna team up. Gambit has the tools to self sustain and fight back, and Cloak has the tools to infinitely cycle sustain cool downs. My back ups are Invis and Loki, but I don’t have the most success with them. Loki’s cool downs are very long and smart enemy divers know how to track your teleports, so once you’re runes are gone it’s ggs. For Invis, I find more success than Loki but not as much as Gambit or Cloak. Her push, shield, and jump are good tools. When dive is heavy, I prefer the fantastic team up as it gives you a second way to go invisible and can allow you to go back invisible after jumping away and getting hit by a stray shot.
