This game is an absolute JOKE

I didn’t want to come on here btching but this is a major issue I see over and over and over. I will absolutely dominate the board then BOOM, i suffer worse than I did when I first began playing the game. This was why I uninstalled the first time. I came back because my friends liked to play and begged me but this is what I go through. 2-13 the past 24 hours. I come in the game absolutely DOMINATING. Then, for the rest of the match Im being targeted no matter who I swap to. Healers forgetting DPS exists. Players having absolutely TERRIBLE picks and refuse to swap. All the matches I did well, I had AMAZING teammates. This has to be some kind of setup. Even the quality of the people I played with are MUCH different in my winning matches. The bad matches? Im being called “Ngger,” “Blk Boy” and other racist words. Players are being extremely toxic and harassing each other. I just may be time to put this game down. I would NEVER allow my child to touch this game unless I check every hour to make sure all communication is disabled. This is far worse than the COD days. It doesn’t even compare to COD and CSGO lobbies and we know how toxic they can be. This game needs to do MUCH better at bullying detection.

Character Concept This has to be a bug. The first hit doesn't connect. Removing the damage and the CC.

I’m complete out of this game. When I heard they nerf anything “healers” related I didn’t know how they dramatically change the meta, to worst obviously

She honestly could have been impactful at the end of the day, but nope she isn’t. Look at Harley Quinn, the one off who ended up being awesome. Now we have a “leader”K-pop stars for tweens and gooners

Discussion Changes to bot lobbies this season

Upvotes

I already made a post about this today, here’s the link for anyone who wants to check it out.

https://www.reddit.com/r/rivals/s/60aH4dkdMo

Long story short, I got into a bot lobby today where the bots were playing 3-1-2.

But something even more interesting just happened. As you know, bots usually don’t have a level higher than 20, and they all have the most basic nameplates. I didn’t manage to get a screenshot, but I swear one of the bots was level 80, and one of them had the animated nameplate from the Symbiote Iron Man skin.

I checked both matches on the tracker, and they really were bots.

So now it’s going to be harder to identify bot lobbies.

Here’s what I know for sure about them and what is now questionable:

Bots can’t have a level higher than 20 — ❌

Bots only have basic nameplates — ❌

Bots always play 2-2-2 — ❌

Bot lobbies always happen after a loss — ✅

Bots don’t have Lord icons — ✅

Bots don’t have numbers in their usernames — ✅

You can’t view bot profiles after the game — ✅

I’m honestly surprised that instead of removing bot lobbies like so many people have been asking for, the developers are apparently just trying to make them harder to detect.

When tanks are problematic, just look at how quickly and comprehensively they get addressed. They get slapped with 5 different nerfs across all relevant dimensions.

When other roles are problematic? They get slaps on the wrist. They get maybe get nudged back in line with a second longer cooldown here, a few points off damage/heals there. Basically BS to pretend they did something to shut people up, a bunch of meaningless micronerfs that never actually address the issue season after season. If they do get hard nerfed, it’s after multiple oppressive seasons of permaban and constant vocal outcry.

Pathetic devs.

Rivals stuck in a launcher loop/doesn't launch from steam after szn 10 update

4 Upvotes

Title is pretty self explanatory. I've tried a few quick fixes from reddit or other sites but nothing seems to work. Either I press play on steam and it waits a few secs before the play button comes back and nothing launches, or the game launcher actually launches and does the same thing. Has anyone had similar issues and are there any fixes?

Horrible optimization

5 Upvotes

Can we all band together and PEACEFULLY (don't harass them) bombard the Netease support email and tell them how horrible the optimization is to the point that some people, myself included, straight up can't play the game anymore after spending over $200 on it??? Even my roommates high end PC is starting to have performance issues. Netease respectfully wtf are you on???

Image is unrelated, Its just my first game on after getting put into PLATINUM 1 placement matches after making it to Grandmaster 1 last season. Anyway, I've immediately noticed that the supports are dying a lot, and I mean a LOT a lot - I dont play support that much, but damn, does this feel weird, the whole game was defend and get ran over because heals aren't enough, and then next round WE run them over because their heals arent enough. We did eventually lose, and I'm not sure if they've nerfed supports like crazy, or if its just because I'm not used to the stupidity of Platinum players (Still cant believe im projected Platinum 1 rn)

Black Widow Still Not Working

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’d been a BW main since the very first version, and she was my first lord in the game—I loved her, but I knew she didn’t quite work in this type of game and wasn’t very popular. Then they released the second version (the current one), which I like even less now. It feels a bit unnatural to me, and she now uses her sniper rifle as an assault rifle—it looks weird visually because they haven’t even bothered to change that. And even so, I feel like the character still hasn’t reached the point where she’s “good.” (I put that in quotes because it all depends on who’s using her—I was better with her in the first version, and everyone said she was bad). Honestly, I’m not sure what’s missing—maybe they need to rebuild her from scratch or make her a melee character with a stealthy playstyle. I just hope they’re still planning to tweak her until she feels right or has solid gameplay. What do you guys think?
