"selftext": "The Gameplay mostly seems like one team standing on one side of the map, and one team on the other, and them shooting as much as they can at each other until the other team dies. \n\nThere seems to be a lack of counterplay, where flanking often just ends up in dying, most abilities are either healing or damaging and every ultimate is offensive and none defensive. There is nothing you can do when the enemy team pops 3 ultimate, and you just get teamwiped.\n\nIf Marvel Rivals wants to last there needs to a be more variety in the gameplay where each character feels impactful, and it's not just based on which team can frag out more.",

"body": "They'll probably add more intricate and utility based ults and abilities that can be played more defensively or to benefit other teammates in ways other than (restore HP), since there's only 19 characters atm. \n\nAnd yeah I'm surprised at the lack of counterplay too tbh, but I'm glad there aren't characters that hard shutdown other characters, other than maybe melee grounded characters and airborne characters. As well as the viability of Dive characters like Spider Man and black panther but since it's the alpha things will definitely improve as time goes on"

"body": "There are at least 2 ultimates that are defensive. I could also see at least 2 ultimates that could be used defensively."

"body": "1: every flank doesn’t result in dying, starlord and witch are some of the best characters in the game. maybe your flanks do. \n\n2: every ultimate is not offensive. Luna snow, mantis, magneto, and arguably rocket are defensive, with hulk/Hela getting second health bars that can be used defensively to counter enemy ultimates or dives (almost all ultimates can be used that way)"

{
"body": "Doctor strange is the counter. I love that his shield can straight up block most ults. So much fun catching Magneto and Ironman bombs, and protecting team from hella so they can get LOS. Hulks bubbles will also negate ults. I have seen tons of ults get completely shut down by that one healrs I can remember her name atm. Her big healing aura. Also, a team that coordinates taking down someone after their voice que for ult goes off is huge.\n\nI'm a fan of not having too many. Just are shutndown abilities as it makes for drawing our fights where people just wait for certain characters to die. \n\nThere are loads of flank routes, and some heros are really excellent at pulling off good flanks."
