I like to play an assassin character like wolverine or iron fist then the next round they huddle up to defend each other and I go moon Knight and shred them. Works well to switch things up between rounds as it keeps the opponents unsure of how to handle your team.

I main Iron Man and The Punisher

Good video, feels a lot higher effort than some other rivals videos I've seen

Your videos are invaluable, not only for Marvel Rivals but for almost any game that has the role. Subbed to support the tank brotherhood, we are the thankless backbones of our teams haha. Great work!

Informative but at 3:50 Unfortunately many healers play as pseudo DPS so you can't really trust anybody to heal you if you're not playing with a group. People are very much in the mindset of playing for themselves and I think the damage on healers is way overtuned, so often they just try to take people out over prioritising keeping the team healthy.

What about a video on how to get my team to please have another tank because I play Thor quite well, but he’s not a solo tank and my team assumes he is

Would it be possible for you to make a video like this for Thor? If not I understand and this video covers a lot of the same concepts I'll need. I'd just like to see somebody good use Thor's kit and learn from that lol

what advice would you have for positioning when getting dived or how to not get bullied as much vs a dive tank as the backline? just to play closer to team to not give as many opportunities or ping/hope they turn back to help? or are there things to think about as a strategist to anticipate the dive and bait it away from team like with invisible woman to then jump away and waste that dive/time?

Healing & damage absolutey matter if youre playing a duelist or strategist... a dps with 2000 damage or a healer with 2000 healing at the end of the game basically contributed to NOTHING 😅😂😂

Honestly solo tanking in Rivals isn’t that bad

Captain America feels really good now

So far ich played 7 matches in ranked, 6wins and one loss. I am in bronze 1 now silver is coming for me

Thanks for posting these types of videos. So much emphasis on team work and checking your ego! Literally had a guy tell me I was a horrible healer and to get off and play someone else. Needless to say we lost but then the next 2 solo queues we crushed it. You can’t blame one person for the loss, everyone has a job to do.

I've been reading your channel name as "Poppin often with Lotion" and I just gotta say I'm sorry my brotha I thought you was a freak and letting everyone know it😭

Maelstrom is pretty close to gale storm tbh

9:33 double support ults. 🤦🏻‍♂️

2:38 I’m finding this out right now in Plat. I have to play Starlord, Bucky, or Punisher. If I play anyone else I get dumpstered and flamed. 😅😅😅

Let’s gooooo. I’m plat 3 now. 😅😅😅

Ur legendary bro

This is an excellent video brother Lofton. Keep it up, you're gonna go far

17:36 your are literally exposing my gameplay 🤣🤣 im always looking for the 1v1 smoke its so toxic yet soo addicting and true it is good to quickly gauge competition skill level and gives more insight on how to setup your flanks or off angles

Can we have a video on how to play dps divers too like Black Panther? When to prioritize healers or squishes, timing and so on. Thanks

Im not a pro, so take my advice with a pinch of salt, but I think a good mindset it to know you can dive, but the moment to do it is the most important, because you are messing up the back-line of the enemy you need your team to take the now weakened front-line, but if theres no one taking the advantage of the healers being busy with you theres no point to dive, you'll probably die in a ointles way

Hey Its me from the tank video asking about Magneto :D and maaan this replay looks sooo painful. Its like its from QP. And as someone who plays Thor every time i don't have to solo tank... man... i don't want to be mean but what is my man doing the whole game?? When i watched him just let Magneto slowly glide towards you and let you get killed while he sat right there at almost full health, just WHAT?? Thor destroys magneto 1v1 every time, both when I'm Thor and when i play Magneto Thor is always my biggest problem, even if i can shield his awakening rune, he can just be so relentless and the only thing you can do as Magneto is try to mag cannon him away but then he just dashes back instantly to keep bashing your face in. Furthermore, since at that moment in the game you would have also been there to put in some damage Magneto wouldn't have had a chance. I don't know how you won this its crazy :D And i'm not saying im perfect or anything, but the chaos in this match is just off the charts!

For the constant repositioning how can I move around effectively with characters that have less mobility than Star Lord?

Great vid. Hopefully more folks realize it's not CoD, but more of a third-person MOBA.

Best gaming channel of all time

All due respect, it sort of lessens the "all the tanks can solo tank" message when the example footage is all Magneto aka one of if not the best solo tank in the game. Show me an example of Thor or Venom effectively solo tanking in a high ranked game and then I'll believe that.

Now do this for gold cause these players feel like they're god damn pros one minute then worse than bronze the other was gold 1 on the verge of plat literally 3 hours ago and now im struggling to even make it back to gold 2😭😭😭 Edit: just realized you're doing this as a series on your channel for each role I think more people are struggling in gold more than anywhere

Love your chill style...

I subbed for these guides. Great work. Looking forward to more for other types of roles and maybe even individual character breakdowns as well. Cheers for the amazing work!

how are you drawing over your replays?

Did you farm sea crabs for the blue sword and shield weapon? i'm starting but not sure if it's a good chance drop, i want the purple, miss 2 of the blue ones still

What do you do when you have 5 DPS bots that refuse to do anything but stagger?

Don't be like dude and play characters that you know in ranked. I'd rather have you play c&d with 5 hours of play time than Luna snow with 5 minutes of play time. Ranked isn't practice

I play Cap when I need to go tank. I’ll definitely use this to get better as a dive, cause I really like that style of tank. This is great

Are you able to share links to replays you review?

This is such an amazing guide of actually going play by play of what you're doing and why. So many guides don't do this and usually just talk while showing some gameplay and sometimes that gameplay doesnt even correlate with what they're saying, but i will say i'm glad you brought up the whole dps getting blamed thing. I'm a healer main but i remember i got blamed for not healing during a match after i told my team time and time again that a venom and black panther were literally hunting me down all game and killing me and no one was helping me, so of course no one was getting any healing cuz i was constantly either dead, or running away from them when they'd inevitably drop down on my head

I find mobile tanks the best solo tanks. Constantly harrassing the back line makes space when they turn around, you don't even have to get a kill. Also, a Peni/Thor lineup? That's a terrible combo, lol

These tip videos are very helpful. I know your channel is more so for lower ranks, but as a Diamond player, having these situational breakdowns is so informative for me. Some stuff is just intuitive to me, but having a breakdown for why similar plays I make in game do and don’t work is genuinely invaluable. Keep up the good work man🙌

So glad this video popped off you deserve it.

How to climb out of Silver as a DPS: stop playing high skill ceiling DPS and switch to heals, ur in silver, ur not him

As support, some games I'm getting a lot of kills. Most games, only assists. Healing is always #1 priority. And in my lobbies (bronze-gold), so many tanks and dps just go forward and take so much damage that you spend 100% of your time trying to keep them alive.

Adam warlock is so underrated. All you have to do is stand by and watch your team. What you have is a burst heal, meaning you don't have to spam his ability. Just try and do it guys. You'll be surprised at how much healing you can do after a match.

This is why I stopped playing this game and just went back to Street Fighter where you don't have to pray for good teammates As a support who really wants to play tank, you have to understand that in lower ranks these people who pick "tanks" aren't trying to be tanks, they just think they're DPS with more health, their teammates can just fuck all. You have to pray your tanks are actual tanks and DPS aren't dumb like a star lord or psy hanging behind the tank and just shooting the opponent's tank for some reason, and every time when I support it's either a close game or we win because my dudes actually get heals and I don't die. But when I want to play tank (like an actual tank like Strange) and try to take space my healers are just off fucking nowhere doing idk what. and when I play support sometimes I see a tank just sitting at a choke have supports behind him not taking space and waiting for SOMETHING idk what. People legit don't know wtf they're suppose to do.

Jokes on you. I know what more than the average person but miss everything😅

I’m stuck in plat

Definitely will be trying to learn DPS soon, I’ve been a tank/support my whole life lol. I’ve just been nervous cause my mechanics have never been the best.

I can never consistently get a solid team. I always have either one dps or healer throw the match like if they’re getting payed 4 it. It’s like half the people I play with aren’t even trying to rank up
