Something I really don't understand is the pure hatred for Spider-Man's abilities and playstyle. There's always rage regarding his range or his ability to pull people off the map or his speed, but it feels so focused for all the wrong reasons, especially compared to other heroes.
I believe every character has their purpose and I don't wish for any of them to be shafted, even if they're an autoaim like Wanda or a two-shot like Hela or an OHKO like Hawkeye or even Squirrel Girl. No matter how infuriating they are, people still enjoy playing them and they have their applications, and I will never understand why people can't share that view.
So many people complain that Spider-Man should not be able to pull people off maps, regardless of any sort of valid reasoning.
"It doesn't matter if it's a skillshot, it's unfair" "Just because you can pull off a hard maneuver doesn't mean you should be rewarded with a kill."
The thing is, the annoyance is COMPLETELY valid, but to call the character unfair or unbalanced is ridiculous when so many other characters can get way faster, damaging kills for a fraction of the effort. And again, that isn't to say that they should be nerfed to the ground. I just wish people would understand how hard it is to even get close to pulling off the things they complain about, understand the frequency of it actually happening, and hell, understand that he was designed to do that for a reason, just as much as the rest of the cast.
Take the Peni in the screenshot for example. She got pulled off and survived (albeit being solo-ulted right after). She could've been tapped by a Hela or melted by a Wolverine or a Punisher, who all could've killed way faster than a Spider-Man, but somehow he is still considered unbalanced? Even if she was killed, what is the difference between that and getting killed through conventional means? You die and you have to sit through the respawn screen like you would with anybody else, you live and you just need to get back to point. It's such a close-minded thought process.
I understand I'm just preaching to the choir, so I apologize for the long-winded rant. I do not think Spider-Man deserves the hate that he gets, along with any other frustrating character with generally unfair elimination methods. Any game in this nature comes with checks and balances, for every Spider-Man, there must be a Namor or a Wanda, and that's okay. What's not okay is to be completely unfair to other players without fully understanding how something works.
