I am the magik in the video. it was a late night game solo q the most important thing with magik is to create space and picks , if you die and you team take 2 or 3 kills of your play its worth (all the afk moments was to increase my music volume) also magik can be played like a brawler in front line and not always flank edit : was not my best game :)
Do you just pick up playstyle over time? Whenever i try to dive in like you i just instantly die. I throw out minions but they don’t hit anyone. The point is will i just pick up playstyle over time?
@@dardc7537 yes you do pick it up over time , but a good tip is to use cover and spam minions on chokes to farm dmg hp and create space in payload maps you can alternate between a wall cover and the payload itself to hold space and get easy minion on their front line , but always have at least one ability up to escape as you are not a tank and can get 1 shot by teamfire
I have played a fair amount of Magik in unranked. I find it easier to flank and play against the enemy back line if there are 2 vanguard on my team. When there is only 1 vanguard, I tend to stay with the team and dive in and dive out on the front line. Fun to watch!
As a magik main running solo rank, no we do not flank. If we have a proper team and are hitting our dashes, we’re sticking front/midline and rotating consistently checking our backline for heals and getting right back upfront dishing damage while our tanks defend.
@Downval flanking on her a lot is more counterproductive than necessary. Though It’s definitely beneficial to have all round mastery of her kit , flanking or tanking.
Firstly, Healis is the best Magik, especially hitting RANK 1 in the ladder playing her. And ALL he does is flanking, nonstop. Stop this low elo talk please.
Honestly makes me feel so much better knowing that even the top player misses shots or messes up I thought it was just me and I was just bad but we are all capable of a little mess ups here and there
i main magik love playing near team as frontline brawler like a dps/offtank. if people dont deal with you you can get hella shield from her passive cleaving multiple enemies huddled together. and melee canceling /weaving is super strong on her too. and if you have a good psylocke or panther gg
I’m diamond with pretty much exclusively Magik (early ranks I had a few matches I had to pick support or tank due to instalock which is fine) but my favorite way to play her is as if she’s a pseudotank and helping our 1/2 tanks we have by providing extra damage and when them squishy supports try to help I just dash out and grab them. She’s great for getting good value consistently rn but when she’s loses the seasonal bonus I feel she’s gonna dip hard for a bit. Either way she’s such a fun character AND useful. Flanking is good for her but I don’t think it’s ALWAYS the answer for her when she’s just a great tank(y) brawler as well
@10:50 Smart in theory, but fumbled on the execution entirely. If you look closely, she didn't even pick it up and Strange took it and beat her to the health pack. lol
Idk why ur saying that this tp moment 9.24 is a smart reaction cause he alrdy avoided strange ult while used shift, he died because he went in tp and took dmg from bucky
5:15 this is why me and my teammates always ban Peni in our lobbies. A good Peni can hold the entire game. She’s the most annoying character to deal with imo
I think she is one of the most fun characters in the game, but the game desperately needs some balance. While she gets almost 2 tapped by most characters and can also be out healed it makes her whole kit just feel bad. I think after they lower some healing, or at least the speed of it, lower some of the dmg from certain characters she will do great. Her whole gain bonus life for dmg is almost non existent. Whatching the video you almost never see her have more than 250 hp and the few times she does its gone in less than half a sec
I see you point cause I genuinely hate when I’m doing all my combos and none of them are getting kills when I’m just putting gods work onto one squishy. But I think that because she can one shot combo over a variety of different moves I think she is at a good place especially playing with tank and building up that extra hp. You’re not always gonna get that combo kill but a very skillful magik will look for stranglers or focus a single person to attack. *just for reference I’m like 200pts away from Lord on her and GM on her*
Do an analysis on ranked one Spidey glazing necros like everyone else Ik but still I haven’t seen a good video explaining how top tier Spidey’s play in detail
basic advice ill give all of u reading this is all flankers including melee will be weaker the smarter the players goes for overwatch as well ur biggest weakness as dive / flanker is teamwork if the enemy has team work pack up ur bags lil bro u lost unless u switch characters
So is this channel now just a let me look at the number one players for each character and comment? Or is this supposed to be a channel about your gameplay?
First of obviously this player is insanely good but tbh I think he got carried most of the way to diamond almost all of his time is on dps. U get way too many instalocking dps who won't switch and it really isn't possible to win without a tank and a healer.
Merchant we need more gameplay of you playing. What I like about your gameplay is you are skilled and *Not* cheating. All of these top players except for hulk so far have been obviously walling.
The dude is watching a replay. A replay let's you see all players (the red and blue outlines) That aside, your cheating allegations might not be wrong, based on how buggy the code is xP
@nareik8017 that's what I mean, we can see the enemy team through the wall because of the replay, but these guys are following the outlines the whole time
Luckily the Magik got carried. This was kinda sad tbh, if they weren't 6 man team I feel sorry for the others who had to put in way more effort. 50h on a single character (one trick pony) and still the enemy pushed the payload to the end (without much interruptions), just swap dude.
@@joem7462it looks like that cuz it's literally the best of the best fighting each other ontop of it just being how the character is my guy. You can't just expect 80 - 2 games at that level it's extremely unrealistic
yah this feels a bit messy, she keeps missing her dashes, shes not outright killing targets, nearly every kill is just the cleanup/finishing blow, she dosnt know the insta kill ult combo that is disk into dash dealing like 275 damage an instant and why is she flanking when her team is clearly still behind not getting all the attention leaving her 5v1. if it isnt clearly a skilled team that she has, then shed be dead
this player is hacking or the marvel rivals servers are compromised. My Magik does not move as fast as this player's. Also this player PURCHASED the skin which leads me to believe Marvel Rivals is PAY to win. The opponent team in the fist match was outclassed, respectfully.

@spy6151 do you stream or record your gameplay? Would be ace to watch more top Magik gameplay when I can't get online to try it myself!
@spy6151 great game regardless appreciate your insight 🙂↕️
Magik: uses health pack*
Merchant: Absolute gameplay
✋🤚
Her reaction time is so unexpected during offensive pushes it takes the enemy back and gives so much space.

Wrong, im eternity and have hit top 500 before taking a little break and u do flank on her a lot
@Downval flanking on her a lot is more counterproductive than necessary. Though It’s definitely beneficial to have all round mastery of her kit , flanking or tanking.
@@wuuwei objectively wrong and u can watch any high elo magik for proof
@Downvaluh.. we’re watching the proof in this video 😂

Video misunderstood Button spam teleport spam teleport! 😎
I have done nothing but teleport bread for three days.
Honestly makes me feel so much better knowing that even the top player misses shots or messes up I thought it was just me and I was just bad but we are all capable of a little mess ups here and there
This video confirms that as a new Magik main Peni truly is my new nemesis 😢
magik is my kind of character, i just wish her walk speed was a little bit faster and maybe her L2 cooldown was a bit shorter
As a gm magik is nice to see a few thing I can improve on as magik thanks merchant 😊

I think you are underestimating the usefulness of a support Hawkeye.
19:40 is the quickest reaction and escape from danger I’ve ever seen. He heard agamoto and dashed up to get out of strange pov.
that penny is really good

Magik was my first character. Haven’t played her much because I was grinding to gold, but now I’m ready to learn
How to play Magik in Diamond+:
Ban Peni
*actually be a good teammate and shoot the spider mines. I don’t know why people have such a hard time wrapping their head around that concept.
15:22 idk why that ragdoll is so funny to me 💀😂
My favourite part was watching Ottr lose
23:47 So the secret of success of #1 magik player in the world is being hardcarried by staggering support and hawkeye mains diff, gotcha.
It's time for that #1 loki main video
“A strange off, who’s the strangest of them all?” Hahahaha.. that was hilarious!
@10:50 Smart in theory, but fumbled on the execution entirely. If you look closely, she didn't even pick it up and Strange took it and beat her to the health pack. lol
Even the best misjudge distance
Idk why ur saying that this tp moment 9.24 is a smart reaction cause he alrdy avoided strange ult while used shift, he died because he went in tp and took dmg from bucky
you can definitely use her as a small tank
5:15 this is why me and my teammates always ban Peni in our lobbies. A good Peni can hold the entire game. She’s the most annoying character to deal with imo

10:54 he didnt get it. the dr strange got it so it backfired
u mean healis right?
how can you have a channel dedicated to this games comp scene and think that that 203 number is his rank
downloaded and played a little today this is no subsitute for Apex i believe this a transition to the next big game
apex is dead anyways.
@@-alon3inhell792 what does that mean cause when i cue up i get into games really sweaty games
apex is dead let it go.
How the hell does one play 50 hours worth of magik when everyone on my games instalock 2-3 dps and I'm forced to play vanguard/strategist?
queuing with people that you know
Instalocking magik
basic advice ill give all of u reading this is all flankers including melee will be weaker the smarter the players goes for overwatch as well ur biggest weakness as dive / flanker is teamwork if the enemy has team work pack up ur bags lil bro u lost unless u switch characters
Do squirrel girl next please
So is this channel now just a let me look at the number one players for each character and comment? Or is this supposed to be a channel about your gameplay?
Yeah looking harder, when she hits them her bonus health goes up and she is dead before she can even swing again. That makes the whole kit pointless
If she was struggling this game I’d love to see her when she’s not 😂 50-8 lmao
Do Psylocke please
Ouch. No more Apex Mobile merchant 😭
lowkey shows ranked is playtime not talent
Tell us how to shut down all those try hards

BloodThirstyLord >>>
only 60fps? jkjkjk
bro why wouldnt u look at a competitive clicked off smh
is it a woman playing her?
Yeah no this kids boosted asf if this is peak magik gameplay then I think I’m the rank one and not this kid running stacks

I dunno man, if that title said “Silver Magik Gameplay”, the comment section wouldve flamed that player
that only shows the comment section is stupid. this is not silver gameplay.
@ looks like it tho. The player only did work on instances where the whole team were just rolling
if those looks like silver gameplay to you, then im not sure what to tell you
