I don't think the new teamups are going to be good for this game
First, obviously we have not seen how these will play in game with everything interacting, but man these things are a doozy. Everyone is cheering about this ability being back or look how cool this character is now. But I'm just stuck here thinking about how nightmarish this is going to make playing the game.
For starters, the devs are adding 1-2 abilities, to every character, all with upgraded versions. The devs can hardly handle balance from season to season, and they have effectively doubled (if not more) their balacing load. It's going to create for a toxic sandbox where only this thing on this character is viable and vice versa with bad characters/kits. Once the devs finally get around to fixing these teamups, the new character is broken, vanguards are perma cc'd, and we are left with an even messier game.
I'm sure it will be fun, but this is ability spam and visual clutter tacked onto a game that already has too much of that. If the gameplay is hard to follow, and the sandbox is in smithereens what do we have?
I really just want to enjoy my funny Marvel game. They are just making it hard by adding all of this crazy stuff that perpetually power creeps the game (this applies to menus and character kit bloating as well). When they advertise something like 'New Rivals', I guess I don't know what I was expecting, but it certainly was not an insane overhaul with limitless potential issues.
I just felt like I am going crazy with this since the subs seem to like it as do the YouTubers. Please enlighten me.
