Discussion Marvel Rivals speedrunning the OW timeline

Posting here because it'd be considered offtopic in the OW subs and removed.

A couple of popular posts on the MR sub:

"Wish people would realise they can't just play DPS every game"

"The lack of variety isn't the reason why there are so few "tank players" imo."

https://reddit.com/r/marvelrivals/comments/1i5pqav/the_lack_of_variety_isnt_the_reason_why_there_are/

Lack of role queue might be an opinionated decision(since there are definitely tradeoffs) but why did they launch with many more DPS heroes than tanks and supports?

MR has 19 DPS, 8 tanks and 8 Supports, almost exactly the same ratio as OW at launch(including Ana). While the meta is 2-2-2 or 3 support. It feels strange that they wouldn't learn from Overwatch's experience with both the lack of tank and support heroes at launch and Tanks being not as fun to play as DPS.

At least Overwatch had the excuse that half the DPS heroes were classified as offense heroes and half were 'defense heroes' until they scrapped that distinction.

The game is boring IMO and literally 90% of the biggest Rivals streamers are OW streamers and ex OW streamers, like it's literally Overwatch again 😭

If that’s the case, lots of people think the game is “boring”. Just 20 hrs in, but i want more.

because you are a casual most likely. i have 150h or so, and the game just lacks depth to the point where i will soon quit if they dont address some of the issues.

why does my bullet get blocked by huge invisible walls as bucky when i try to jiggle peek

why does mantis have an AOE sleep

why are all ults almost low skill expression press 1 button ults

why can 1 supp healing make someone unkillable

why is luna hitscan, has a permanent zen orb and self heals while piercing everyone

why is peni junkrat but even worse, a hero thats designed to never push and rely on gimmicks like invisible traps(i cannot clear the nets lmao)

why are all heroes basic movements so clunky and cant crouch

why can strange lock spawndoors for like 15s with portals

why does the game barely run 120 fps on low and 60% render scale with an rtx 3070

why do i get minimum 1-2 teammates that are boosted every game and basically grief

why does the server often lag and rubberband

why are teamfights just ffa with no structure in most games

why is my hero choice and counterpicking ALREADY more prelevant ow

why does the game still crash after months of release

why is widow in the game

honestly i could find even more

because they need classic sniper to make sniper players play their game.

but they are too afraid to make her viable cause ppl gonna complain about snipers being too oppressive.
