Seems like this game could finally be the real Overwatch killer that people have been waiting for. OW2 was a travesty and doesn't appear to have improved in any meaningful way since launch.

Marvel has a massive fan-base and it seems like even folks I know who aren't into Marvel are still really enjoying the game.

Well shit, wasn't expecting that lmao. After the 109 matches played in comp i think i can give a bit more constructive thoughts on what things i want to see;

- Having played most supports (basically everyone but Jeff) i can say for the most part, their kits feel pretty well balanced with all having drawbacks/strengths. The real problem is with some of their ultimates. Mantis, Luna and C&D (admittedly the least problematic of the three since it needs to be deployed properly) are basically big ass stop signs that bring gameplay to a halt for like 5 to 7 seconds. Support ults are supposed to be defensively but holy shit these ults are so strong they might be able to achieve world peace with how they nullify fighting lmao. Armchair player suggestion would be to either nerf the potency or alternatively/probably logically, reduce the charge rates. Mantis/C&D build theirs at a stupid rate for how powerful they are. Reducing the charge rate would at least make you think a bit more strategically about using it rather than my current "eh i'll have it back in like a minute" strategy.

- Tanks ults on the other hand seem a bit...underwhelming? i don't want them to the level of some of the shit you see in Overwatch like Graviton Surge but it feels like a lot of them also don't do anything. Hulk's ult is just a shitty version of Winston's Primal Rage without the mobility. Thor's ult can be interrupted, Strange's ult is easily countered by a mere barrier/shield and to be honest with ya'll, i still have no f***in clue what Venom's ult is supposed to do despite seeing it countless times. Magneto's ult i can at least understand being a bit weak since it's more of a counter/utility one but the rest?

- Winter Soldier's ult is ridiculous. It's basically a genji ult on steroids because of the dash resets that apparently you can just wait eons to re-trigger it.

Outside of that? Not a ton to complain about. Most of the issues people had are being dealt with in the season 1 patch. I would ask maybe consider bringing hero bans to plat as the cutoff because people are starting to figure out metas even at that rank (ie; you pick the gamma trio and proceed to run show, which might get worse now with hela/hawkeye being nerfed)
