Marvel Rivals Positioning Guide & How To Actually Improve

[@Dazs]

I hope you find the video helpful!

[@Tenrai752]

Love these videos! So informative 😊

[@andrewbuskirk4308]

🔥 You’re clearly skilled! Pairing this with an Aim Anchor Mouse Grip could make it better! Appreciate all the tips in the video!

[@RonDangerSolo]

Very handy. This is the type of advice I prefer. I can't tell you how many "guides" are just reading the character's ability screen and calling it there. Now all I need to understand is how to really stay with the team better. Sometimes as a tank I push in and suddenly no one is with me and I get ko'd. I have a hard time keeping track of where everyone is.

[@brolymaestromagma3535]

As a tank main I realized a lot of people wanna be the main character but use your coms and if they wanna play as a team they will fall back or push with you as needed. Best advice. Sometimes you see a push they don't or vice versa also

[@favianalvarez9880]

There definitely are players who don't know how to push. You may be taking really good opportunities, but the team doesn't fallow up. Definitely don't let a bad team bait you into bad engagements.

[@JoshThompson25]

Another thing is keep an eye on the kill feed to keep tabs of who has the advantage at any time. I suggest adjusting the announcer volumes for kos and teammate deaths as well

[@measlesplease1266]

As a Hulk main I find that is a problem too, especially with his leap. A common way for people to play this game, at least at lower levels is to sit back and take potshots at the enemy and ignoring the tank moving in. I have had a few matches where I ask people to heal me and peel and it works out and they listen, but it's nice when I don't have to say anything. With Tanks, a huge playstyle is diving. Which means going in as deep as you see fit, landing some damage, tanking some hits, and baiting aggro then running back and getting healed. This can help your team gain some ground, or better yet, make an opening for some eliminations. It really all depends on team confidence.

[@Scotech100]

There’s a setting that displays ally health bars. With that you have a better idea of where everyone is.

[@flavisimo3593]

I hope more people see this. Tired of hearing "I get no heals" going 2 and 10 when I'm at 20K heals at the end of the game.

[@chaostheory3011]

It's always the guy that never sticks with the team and fails trying to dive the whole game spamming it as well. 😆

[@flavisimo3593]

@chaostheory3011 100% Many are trying to be the best flanking hero only to get squashed. Stick with the team, move as a unit.

[@skaionex]

I get what you're saying, but flanking and off angles are crucial in a lot of games. That doesn't mean they are always good at it, haha, but moving as a unit isn't always best. Sometimes, a good flank makes all the difference. The problem i see is people not taking advantage of flanks and being too scared to push forward at the same time so the flanker dies.

[@samuelmartinez6344]

Yeah, flankers taking a spot too far from their own team, hanging out there for too long, and then gets jumped. A health pack isn't gonna help much if running back to the team for help is so far.

[@arglebargle5531]

As a strategist main, I've stopped healing idiota simply because I realize that all Im doing is helping the enemy to charge their Ult. Letting bad players die can improve results.

[@Fortuity907]

110% make map guides, this helped more than I would thought and I'm excited to grind again

[@cernos7230]

in addition, the maps aren't really the game's strong suit, some has weird corridors or rooms that no one uses, and it isn't even a flank path and 2 door spawn points

[@measlesplease1266]

@@cernos7230 the game is in its infancy. It hasn't even been a month.

[@MicDubTV]

@@measlesplease1266Doesn’t make what they said any less true. Game’s been in development for 5 years. Lol, they didn’t start making it a month ago. With that said, it’ll hopefully get better. I at least like the aesthetics of the maps. Very different. But the pathing could definitely use some work.

[@measlesplease1266]

@@MicDubTV I'd say the symbiote map is the worst for it and then there's a room on the black panther statue map near the defender spawn where when you walk in you have to walk right out again. I haven't had a problem other than that.

[@ub3r_nOOb]

I would really love a role guide. Like main duties of each role - In addition to their secondary roles. ie. Peeling - etc.

[@SabreNation1]

Great video that should have way more views. If you're a new player, understanding the concepts in this video will help you way more than watching 1000 "get better aim now" or "master Hero X in 15 minutes" videos.

[@andrewjacob1789]

This is the single best positioning guide ive seen. Thank you so much! Other videos get convoluted pretty quickly and are hard to follow going into the variables of positing. Great simple explanation!

[@samuelmartinez6344]

Currently the map I had struggled with is Spider-Islands Convoy stretch 1 and 2. First stretch bc so many closed spaces and second stretch bc too open. Thanks to you, I just explored the map and learned more spots where I can break walls & floors while near health packs and have better advantage where I can flank and peek at the enemy. Now I can practice them. Thx!

[@andrewjacob1789]

Would love to see a video on spider-islands convoy too!

[@OctaviusWasHere]

Thanks for this. Please make a video talking about positioning in Marvel Rivals for Vanguards/Tanks. Especially for Thor if possible. Thanks Again

[@brolymaestromagma3535]

@@OctaviusWasHere Thor is an off tank DPS/vanguard or peekaboo tank. In his domination example if ur winning I use the middle column mostly as Thor and peek around it because I could snipe with awakening or wait for them to get close depending on the number of foes. If im losing i place my self around corners or the outer walls to get the jump on my enemies. If you're flanking play like his wolverine example if you're the main tank use that center column as your holding ground imo. Hopefully I helped a little tanks are different with us being in the open alot more often. Hope he drops a vid soon

[@measlesplease1266]

@@brolymaestromagma3535 I like helping Thor with Hulk's shields. I find that Thor is great with a little support in any way. Whatever gives him an edge. How does he handle solo tanking or 1v1 situations?

[@brolymaestromagma3535]

@measlesplease1266 solo he needs a healer definitely. I usually depend on timing my awakening and depending on the situation when to use it. He can snipe enemies in the sky or far away, he can melt any tank in the game if he catches a 1v1. recently I find it very helpful to engage a tank with hammer throw use your bubble and after popping awakening immediately turn to his support getting rid of the healers and they always seem surprised lol and If i am unalived that leaves all my dps and healers with maybe a tank so they should destroy them. Thor is great when you find his rhythm with hammer swings. Three basic hits between each hammer swing I believe keep enemies staggered while maintaining shield for increased health. His ability to generate shield saves him most of the time so well timed hammer swings are key as well basically your main movement for escaping and attacking. He also can flank if needed so if a tank is engaged with my dps I can also hit the back line then engage the other tank and team wipe with a good flank. So basically it's all about timing positions and knowing when to engage he's definitely no magneto who can stand in front almost forever lol unless you have great healers. I think he is pretty good though he can jump in and out, Regen quick health and get his high damage awakening quickly to melt any enemy as long as you move quickly and know who to engage.

[@AhmedMalaki]

I just want a really good guide for thor because I have no idea how to get good at Thor Because I keep thinking that he is a bad character But everyone beats me with thor I have seen lots of thor mvps Like what I’m I doing wrong ?

@ 7:21 is the first time I’ve ever seen Black widow as MVP.🤣

[@supermancfl]

This was a great video. I had no idea you could explore the map in custom games. This was great information. You’ve got a new subscriber.😎

[@Syientist]

Yeah, this dude’s tips are why I ended up being a really great Black Widow

[@AntiLordblue]

Thank you for the video. I appreciate the insight Dazs. I had a thought, something I don't think I've ever seen talked about it in a video; how do you handle enemy respawning? Is there a term for this? Let's say you win a fight due for any reason, but now the enemy is respawning what do you do now. I hope you can go over this in a future video.

[@Dazs]

I apologize, my comment did not go through on my phone. I think the term is staggering your fights. In overwatch I think they call it something else. But its important if you can get your opponent to stagger their spawns. Means they will keep coming in one at a time. Also anticipate ultimates. If you notice they are taking time to regroup, it may seem like you are dominating, but they are planning perhaps a Dr. Strange portal, or perhaps moving in with an ultimate to push you off of point. You need to counter ult, or be ready to use a support ultimate for big incoming damage.

[@chekitatheanimatedskeptic6314]

The best positioning, according to most players seems to be right in the open field and even better if it's right in front of the spawn of the enemy team so they can hit "heal me" multiple times behind a wall and tell how bad his supports are bad in chat after he dies and they take point because he gave them the numbers, positioning, healing (from spawn), and spawning point advantage.

[@PillowKing]

YES YES YESSSS!!! Subbed!! FInally!! Nobody ever makes a proper guide for this but everyone is always talking about ''positioning''

[@PappSaTT]

Fun fact , it works for other games too !

[@Minecraftathop]

This guide was really good. I would love to see a video about how to position as melee characters specially. I feel like I’ve got a decent idea of how to apply these concepts to characters with range but I’m still struggling to work out how to do it with melee characters and would love to see a deeper dive into it.

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

As someone who played a lot of Starcraft 2 years ago, it's very frustrating how few people seem to think about positioning. Even into diamond, the supposed top 5% of players, sometimes their positioning is just garbage. I find it especially true for healers and snipers, they don't know how to swing wide around corners so they can be close enough to the team to actually help them, while still behind cover. Instead they'll be so far back that when the tank turns the corner just a little, they have to run a massive distance to keep supporting, or their allies get stuck on the corner because they're lacking the support.

[@panda.ffs.]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is the first time someone takes the time to explain this in depth and show it ! Instead of making us watch a game. You are amazing and explain things so well! I subscribed and hope to see more video's like this one for the other maps ❤️

[@LolThisGame1]

solid introduction to these higher level concepts. After your point of not being predictable I'd only add in the use of the chronovision. 12:00 after the concept you could've turned to the left and spoke a little on destructables for creating other vantage points to release pressure. you mentioned the terrain change slightly earlier in the guide and this would only reinforce it as you closed out the video.

[@toneflix]

Dazs is one of the most articulate teachers on this site! Always impressed with your ability to understand the most effective ways to play the FPS games i see you making content for. Always appreciate you humility and willingness to thoughtfully explain complicated and nuanced topics in an easy to understand way! Best of luck to you in your content creation journey

[@jpmorgan6146]

It’s so nice seeing some creators I used to love when I played some games way back pop out of nowhere (for me) and it’s rivals content.

[@jtm8691]

Something that I wish people made more known is just because you watch these "guides" doesn't mean you'll instantly be better, alpt of people will just tey to copt you but still get lost because their gamesense isn't Great

[@MetaTrixx]

Hes a man of his word :D Love the guide homie!

[@rhysswain5030]

Loved your Apex educational guides and now I'm playing Marvel I'm so happy you're doing educational videos over here too. Actual lessons, not clickbait. Love it, keep up the great work! Keep the educational content coming! I need help :D

[@DerekAllDigital]

Heard the boomer kuwanger theme and subbed, lol.

[@RiccoVanWilder]

New to hero shooters but love strategy games in general. This is the advice I needed. I think another video of breaking down gameplay would be great. As a tank main, I tend to over extend. Its hard to get a feel for pushing and dropping back when you're in the middle of the chaos Example: using the zones, if the convoy is C but the main team battle is happening on B, when do I push, etc? I think seeing it in real-time would be really helpful

[@redmangoose182]

This is an excellent guide! It's hard to filter out for useful content pertaining to Marvel Rivals. I'm glad this showed up on my feed.

[@benm912]

As a healer main I'd love to see more of a breakdown on general positioning and strategy tips. I find it's a lot harder because you are so dependant on your team members positioning that you're sometimes left wide open trying to heal them if they're out of position

[@BadNewsBrendon]

Positioning is a skill I'm trying to improve on. I had NO CLUE when playing Overwatch, but now I have a much easier grasp on it. Great video and concept no one seems to cover. Would love for you to go over specific maps ❤

[@timelord9532]

Hey Daz glad your making vids for rivals. Hope your wife and son are doing good. You helped me out a lot with your Solo Mirage guides when I was playing Apex a while back and was wondering if you could do the same with Loki. People are telling me to switch and just play Luna but my man is just fun ya know. It's hard to get my positioning AND my clones positioning down to fully help the team. Love the vid as always and for now I'll use it as reference.

[@christineliao256]

Please do a series of this for every map! Just this one alone I learned a couple of great vantage points. Also maybe a destructible terrain tips and tricks?

[@TheNamek13]

NGL all this shit just seems like basic knowledge however I will admit in the heat of battle I wasn’t thinking like this. Just more reacting to what’s happening rather than thinking about what I am doing. So well done.

As a GM Hitscan player, I can agree that positioning is one of the most important skills!

[@DarukaEon]

I appreciate your guide, man! It's especially important to break down how important positioning is in these kinds of games. Can't tell you how many matches I've had where teammates (or even I) have bad positioning then get punished for it. The custom game thing is also a tool I've learned recently when I wanted to get Wolverine practice in without pissing off teammates. Ha ha ha! It's super handy!

[@chickentricep129]

[@livingmyjameslifeRN]

wow extremely helpful guide. definitely things i never fully considered at a high level. looking forward to more!

[@kylebranson8436]

The verticality with heroes like Ironman storm and Starlord really allow for some crazy split focus positioning

[@ModernTenshi04]

I think the other thing I see from teams, particularly enemy teams where I'm assuming most or all of them this is their first team based hero shooter, is that they don't know there's multiple ways either out of their own spawn, or to get to the objective. The number of full holds I've been part of where the enemy team just streams out, often one or two at a time, from the main exit of their spawn is kind of insane. This goes further in getting tunneled on just there being one path to the objective. The number of times I or a teammate have been able to flip an enemy team's hold on a point by off angling and forcing them to fight on two fronts is again insane in this game. I'm glad lots of folks are playing the game and enjoying it, but it can be glaringly obvious which players have little to no experience with team and objective based hero shooters. Look for paths, look for flanks, know where health packs are, and PLAY THE OBJECTIVE. I don't care how much damage or healing you manage at the end of the match, because none of it matters if it doesn't met the objective.

[@AncelDeLambert]

Another tip for doing ALL of this: hit that dang highlight button! Pathfind, make your own cover, and pay attention to what cover can fail! The wakanda map that is the second half of the video has extensive galleries to flank the enemy with, but they're hidden behind destructible geometry

[@aross6802]

It's important to note that it's a tanks job to apply pressure so their DPS can reach these points. Not just run it down mid with shield up.

[@fabianlindstrom9519]

If you want to explain stuff in an easy way that is correct to fundamentals in hero shooters, just watch A10s guides for overwatch. You have to understand open space, corners, friendly/neutral/enemy space. Ebb and flow, high round advantage etc. this is how you get enemies to use more recourses than you just by positioning, then you incorporate other advanced concepts and voila you have a complete guide the game in general

[@littlenerdyxalen]

[@nanazsan7536]

this is a great guide, if you can go over vod reviews that would also be very good way of seeing it in practice because ingame its easy to mindlessly run at the enemy
