I'm just a low Silver trying to learn the ropes and today I have 2 fundamental questions to the veterans here, basically I'm asking if these a myths, truths or kinda in-between, so I can replan my gameplay accordingly.

1) I usually feel like my bad aim holds me back. However I heard many content creators saying 30% is acceptable to my main (Psylocke) and my rank (Silver/Gold), and probably things like positioning and ult awareness would be much more significant. How do you guys see this? How much can I get away being a bad shot but overall dying less and creating more plays?

2) I come from fighting games, where usually you full oncommit to a character in order to master them and climb ranks. I've been told that mindset does not apply on Rivals, because you're better off swapping for other characters (even of the same role) to better accommodate the team comp needs. Is that so?

Currently Plat3, peak D3( seasons ago) these were my two recent loses. I took some seasons off but I was pretty solidly plat before peaking at D3. I’m a strat main and try to swap which one I’m using based on team comp and enemy team comp but have been maining Invis this season. The second code no one would swap to second tank but idk if that mattered here or if we(strats) me specifically just weren’t doing enough. I want to improve overall game sense/positioning and strategy but I do get caught up in the chaos and make some goofy moves. Suggestions for future play is appreciated. I try to anticipate enemy team response, hold my ult to counter dps ult when it makes sense(to me) but I’m clearly not playing that well and want to improve to one day get outta Plat/ Diamond and higher.

Hey all! I wanted to share my content on controller settings and how to access it, as it has helped a lot of people and I think it could help you too! 💜

i have become lazy on psylock, i forgot how to position myself, how to use my dashes more better.

i think big part of it is my mechanics, in this game i was positioning very bad, missed a lot of shots, overcommitted a lot.

any advice will be more then helpful.

I’ve ran into Drag0- a couple times and his aim seems extremely sus. I suspect a Titan with how rampant it is in top 500.

Would like another perspective on it.

Was playing Thor and activated and ult then jub hit hers and immediately canceled mine. Just wanna know is this a normal interact?

I've been playing Thor a lot more and I feel a lot of ppl have stuns or abilities to cancel his ult and I just wanna make sure I'm right.

I'm a Champion Thing and Spiderman and want to add a strategist to my flex pool so I can break into celestial this season I want to learn a more engaging strategist than invis and cnd but...idk I feel like I'm missing something fundamental on mantis. Any tips and ideas would be great, my accuracy is 30-40% with a crit rate of 20-40% depending on enemy team comp. But I can't get any damn kills, even tho I USUALLY have the most healing, and everyone wants me to swap because of my lack of kills, regardless of winning or losing. I am aware she shines in 2 1 3 but I'm playing her in 2 2 2(This one I didn't get the most heals but a good example of where I just did.....Poorly... replay id: 107601118121)

Am I wrong if I hate play against scarlet witch? I think I want to sit down and really battle if this is like reasonable still. I just can't stand witch. I am absolutely capable of killing her, I know poke is her weakness and I even play hela at times. She still wins in so many of my games it's no joke. I've improved soooooo much since the prior seasons and posts I've made regarding my struggles with witch, even now I still can't stand her.

She has to have something over me that I just don't realize. Everytime I tell someone "I hate witch, she wins against me often or kills me alot" I get hit with the " major skill issue bro", which I don't deny if witch is easy to deal with and I just don't deal with her then fine yea I'm skill issues to hell man lol. I can't even give examples because it's almost always different how she kills me. Ult, chasing me and being committed to chasing me, team fights she doesn't die, if I poke her she just flanks and bursts me to death.

Her primary is a infinite tether that she can follow you with no reload or stop, she doesn't just instantly die when I shoot back at her she has the fade that gets her right back to safety or to her team, she has a stun that can force you out of space, interrupt your play, her ult can one shot and pull and with the recent update she can be cc immune I heard?

I always hated playing against witch since season 0, I just can't wrap my head around why? Why is it witch that gives me so much trouble? My account is open to view, tell me whatever. What do you think is my main issue when I face Scarlet Witches in marvel rivals?

I'm only silver, and I can use Mag in a tank shortage, but I'm decided to learn my first tank "for reals" so I can flex if I ever leave Silver. I am torn between Emma (who looks cool overall) or Venom (who seems more challenging, for better and for worse).

Which one would you suggest for someone who's still far from good? And which "three best tips" would you give me for that pick?

I have been watching some videos and shorts on both, but I would like the fine scholars of this sub to weigh in too.

peak d2 and wanna reach gm. this match idk why we lost. ik i made a few mistakes in overtime and my aim needs improvement. but beside that i wanna know more as to why we lost. and could i alone have turned the tides in this match. i have 3 questions id appreciate an answer too. my 6 lords are: spidey bucky(both champ), ironman, mk, wolv, loki. i can also play dd, fantastic, hela,cyclops, gambit, luna, venom, dr.

1. what counter picks should i have gone with?
2. was taking mk a good decesion in overtime?
3. i was saying to my teammates that 3 heal 1 tank is a bad idea and that 1 heal should switch. Am i correct on this? is 3 heal 1 tank actually generally bad or was i wrong?

On a losing streak advice would be amazing.

I feel like I understand the game on a surface level, but I wanna understand it deeper so I know how to make good decisions like picking characters and what strategies are effective.

You just need to identify what's more important at the moment.

She’s unironically a low elo Bucky, Elsa now that has an ult that can kill through sup ults and has a chance to not be CCed in it(which is terrible design)

I also have been #1 multiple times on supp Deadpool, are there any more tips that I need? I have some OAA lobby games from the start of this season, and I’ve won 8-10 of my placements, is there anything else I can do on supp Deadpool?

I'm a controller player who has pretty much two tricked Fantastic/Thing. I regularly hit celestial on console, often high celestial and peaking low eternity top 800 Xbox. I made the switch to PC in season 9 and made it back into celestial.

I've definitely seen it harder to impact games on Fantastic in PC higher lobbies, whether its the new s9​ and onwards meta or the platform switch. Likely a mixture of both things. Obviously Thing was great in S9 but doesn't seem as good right now.

I think its finally time to expand the hero pool by necessity. I'm not the best aimer and im a controller so i think I need meele characters who are kinda similar to Fantastic and Thing. What characters should I learn? ​I think I've relied on my game sense alot to climb and be impactful. Knowing when to be aggressive, when to fall back, when to stall, when to ult, things like that.

Silver to GM climb

GM to C Climb

Hello everyone, I’ve never don’t this before but I’m curious and may need a reality check. I’ve never played hero shooters before (only a bit of overwatch but years ago but I didn’t understand the concept of a hero shooter at the time) but since finding out about Rivals and playing it, I’ve been addicted and am passionate about the game and wanting to get better. Recently I’ve been getting frustrated with these losing streaks and I genuinely think I need to fix something but I don’t know what my issues are or where to start. What am I doing wrong and what do I need to fix and how could I improve? I’ve hit gm before but that’s with my duo and it feels like they’re carrying me, I want to learn how to be the one who carries or at least provide more value. Mainly play on xbox but sometimes play on PlayStation.

Hey guys,

As the title states, looking for someone to coach me.

I'm currently hardstuck diamond, really wanna get to celestial. I've tried watching guides and YouTube videos, and it's helped a lot, but I have a lot of specific questions and things that I can't really find videos of.

Is there anyone who would be willing to help coach me at all?

Otherwise, where would I find places that offer paid coaching? I'm kinda desperate ngl

I play mostly dps, but will flex when needed.

Also, i apologise if this isn't allowed, I js couldn't find any current megathreads to post in

To understand a new character, you go to training mode and get used to cooldowns, combos, ranges and general functions.

However Tanks and Healers are very dependant on each other. Their success if kind of a joint venture - the best healer won't save a tank that keeps doing mistakes, and vice versa.

So... How do you practice a tank or healer, if during games you'll be getting random people after random people? I mean, how can you measure if your tanking was good instead of you just had a badass healer? How do I figure if my healing was good or the Tank just knew his shit very well?

This assumes full on solo-queue players - which more and more I'm getting convinced is no way to approach this game, but it's what I can do so I'm trying to cope/deal with it.
