Totally agree about the cover. My fav is Punisher and I lost count how many Iron Mans I took down because they were flying beneath the ceiling, thinking they're untouachable.
I am not Peni main myself, but I have played enough of her that if I see a nest, I prioritise it over shooting even healers. Same goes to MKs Ankhs, RRs gadgets and Namors turrets. I see alot of people just running past ankhs, which annos me, because they are warning sign that you are in range of enemy Moon Knight and his "Random BS".
Let's go Mug!! Just got to Gold 1 and the varying levels of skill expression by teammates and enemy players is wild. Some games go great, other games are rough but taking the time to better understand different aspects of combat, strategy and team composition is extremely satisfying. 💪🏽
Had a game where I was being yelled at for stopping the cart. My WHOLE TEAM was trying to spawn camp the same dps and healer on the other side of the map. The enemy's 2 tanks, other healer, and other dps were pushing cart. I was the only one fighting them. They said I was throwing because "the only thing that matters is kill count" but their kill count was growing off the same 2 players they were spawn camping. Needless to say we lost that game. Their excuse was that "cart wasn't moving so they didn't need to be near it"...yeah because I was on it genius.
I'm feeling rather discouraged. This is my first PVP shooter and I am terrible. Accuracy, 11%. Thanks for the video I will try to put this into practice
Heres a few tips: Mess around with mouse sensitivity until it feels right, Practice your aim and take your time even if it means you lose more than usual by solely focusing on that, and dont beat yourself up. I personally have the most fun when I'm taking a game seriously as if Im aiming for top 100 (im not but it helps me feel motivated lol), but I always remind myself that its just a game. If anyone trash talks you about your aim or dmg output remember that you're just here to have fun. Dont listen to anyone else!
I found that Hawkeye was the best dualist to teach the fundamentals of the game. Learning angles, not dying (and if you do it’s not the healer), shooting targets and peni nets etc
also now having made it to the end of the video, as a patron i definitely am A-OK with marvel rivals content. i started watching you due to your thought-provoking insights into how companies are run and how they treat their consumers, but coming to learn of your overwatch experience and see you start to cover rivals is awesome! we have a lot of things in common, taste-wise.
Lower rank, bronze play is sooo toxic. It’s stressful and not for casual play. Casuals should play quickplay or against AI. The competitive scene will trash you for being a beginner and not playing well. People will call you out even if you play a role you’re not used to because everyone chose dps. You can get the shaft and blamed for the team losing. Is that fun?
Facts 😂…. I always go positive in kills and play my role and no matter what everyone is playing for themselves and not as a team lmao… I played a game as a healer and had more kills then everyone else lmao 🤣 fun fact i never tried healer before that game 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
When in doubt just roll three supports, don't play a tank to fill it you don't know it. Keeping people alive and dishing lil damage is always more important.
I play a lot of things in Rivals.I d like to note Thor is the ultimate healer protector.His dash if you can land it saves lives, and yes I do constantly look around me.And as you said, many times I die alone, but chasing 2 supports and usually 1 duelist far away, for like a minute I turn a 6vs6 to a 5vs3,and I dont mind dying doing that.Also dear tanks and everyone else, if you stand with no cover all the time you WILL die, doesnt matter how great your healers are, so dont complain, play better.
This is best "next level guide" to this type of games i ever find .... Thank you :) as a Overwatch healer for many years (a good one :P ) , you just sumarise 90% thing i allready know (but now i am sure i was right ) ... but what is excelent ... now i can send this video to my friends if they are totaly lost about many crucial things in this type of game :) Thank you a lot . GJ
Of course we are ok with you making this video. It's more about you doing you while staying true to you more than anything else in my honest opinion. It's cool to see you branch out in content anyways. It's about video games yea? Then it's a win my dude. I don't play marvel rivals no. But doesn't mean I don't wanna learn something bout it. I can't stand ARPGs, but guess who got me into path of exile and completely changed my opinion?
I clicked off of the google search i was watching just to tell you that you're awesome. I appreciate how you break things down. If you ever play balatro, please do that next
I used to play overwatch until around 2018-2019, so this video was a nice refresher. Especially since I never considered these things seriously in games until VERY recently (~2 years ago). Awesome video :)
it frustrates me to no end when people that have been standing in the open the entire game decide to gripe about less healing numbers. i can have like 2 deaths and 25k healing and still get flamed. first, there is no amount of healing in the game that will keep you up for an extended period if you constantly are in the open not killing people that have better positioning than you while they whittle you down and consume support cooldowns. secondly, how can i have as much healing if you are constantly dying due to your poor positioning and the other team is not dying? not trying to claim i'm some world beater and it's always my team's fault. i still make mistakes and occasionally miss critical heals, and i'll take accountability for that. but where's the accountability from tanks and dps that constantly beg the other team to kill them? honestly, i'd say i run into this mentality about 40% of the time (maybe up to 50%). so a lot of the time, i have nothing to be upset with from my teammates. but damn man, some of you dps and tank players need to realize how chaotic this game is and help me to help you by having better positioning. and for the love of god, stop tilting when you die in the open, that's on you.
I would say "tilting" is definitely an issue for a lot of players. Both new and reoccurring players fall into their feeling and what they think is happening. Mug makes a great point of trying even against all odds. You never know 😂
@@forsaken650 for real man, i've won so many games that looked legitimately hopeless at first. just have a little bit of mental resilience and play the damn game. if you get rolled, you get rolled. happens to everybody at all levels of play.
Yap, I never whine when my tank dies, its my fault.I know that because I also play supports and you cant keep em up if they stay in the open like fools.I also have to remind people almost half the games that there are 3+ routes to the point, not just the center one that the whole enemy team is currently blasting and my team runs in again and again and dies.
@@SnidelyWhiplash34 What usually happens in these is someone switches character, best thing also is if noone says anything, that means they aint yet tilted and they are still trying.
Thanks for this - just started the game and mainly playing Luna as its fun but flirting with other characters! Useful stuff but also reinforcing some of things I was already doing
I’ve never played Overwatch, and I also have potato aim. However, I love all things Marvel and a longtime Cloak & Dagger fan. I’ll probably try the game.
I was listening to this in the shower and when you said Max as in HBO Max I must heard it as match as if you and your family shared a dating app subscription 😮
I'm not going to play this game, but I do want to give you some engagement. Shouldn't the title have the word Rivals in it? Ultimate Marvel is a different thing.
Quick Play IS NOT where you go to "Learn A Hero" or "Learn How to Play"!!! This game has a FANTASTIC A.I. for you to play against and learn. Go play games against the A.I. on 3-Star Difficulty and learn the Hero and how to play there!
Ai can never replicate human experience so I disagree. Sure you can learn the move set in an ai match (shooting range also exists for that) but any applications beyond SHOULD be practiced vs other players.

Mug I’m not even kidding after watching this I started working on my positioning and within like 5 hours I went from plat 3 to diamond, thank you🙏🙏
Totally agree about the cover. My fav is Punisher and I lost count how many Iron Mans I took down because they were flying beneath the ceiling, thinking they're untouachable.
Thank you for helping someone who didn’t play Overwatch, by explaining some of the major cultural norms of the game so I can better enjoy the game 🙂
As a Peni Parker main, seeing an enemy Peni nest causes me to press mouse-1 until I no longer see it.
Sooooo true lol
I am not Peni main myself, but I have played enough of her that if I see a nest, I prioritise it over shooting even healers. Same goes to MKs Ankhs, RRs gadgets and Namors turrets.
I see alot of people just running past ankhs, which annos me, because they are warning sign that you are in range of enemy Moon Knight and his "Random BS".

Have you tried messing with sensitivity?

I really enjoy your videos. You're hard work is reflected in the finished edit. Thanks!
Subbed, keep the Rivals content coming! :)
Came for the Marvel Rivals advice, stayed for the Snatcher music.

i love that you have pumpkin hill music bumping the background so often in your videos, mug. good taste is obvious.
21:44 but on the other end, your stats will ALWAYS be held against you in agruments. knowing that you still had impact goes completely unnoticed
The best advice here is to not blame the others and focus on your own improvement. Great guide Dude 👍🏼
it frustrates me to no end when people that have been standing in the open the entire game decide to gripe about less healing numbers. i can have like 2 deaths and 25k healing and still get flamed.
first, there is no amount of healing in the game that will keep you up for an extended period if you constantly are in the open not killing people that have better positioning than you while they whittle you down and consume support cooldowns.

not trying to claim i'm some world beater and it's always my team's fault. i still make mistakes and occasionally miss critical heals, and i'll take accountability for that. but where's the accountability from tanks and dps that constantly beg the other team to kill them?

Best guide i saw so far... thx for the knowledge
Thanks for the video ! Helped getting started in the game.
Thank you. C&D are so slept on.
The risk of rain/balatro music earned my sub.
Thanks for this - just started the game and mainly playing Luna as its fun but flirting with other characters! Useful stuff but also reinforcing some of things I was already doing
As someone who’s never played the game this was kinda confusing but after I started playing I got it almost straight away
28:19 the advice you just give is my biggest flaw lmao I hate people that give up on points
As a Thor main I felt that comment about the Penni nest in my soul😂
Risk of rain music has me verrrrrry happy
I suck at aiming but I’m great at tanking. I love proving space blocking damage or distracting enemies.
Love the SNATCHER soundtrack!!!
So I've been meaning to ask, where is this so called Mug that you've stolen, and why do we not see it in the videos?
Mug can also mean face. Maybe we *are* seeing the stolen mug because he's a shapeshifter?
If your gonna insta lock DPS you shouldn't have the lowest damage on the team. Looking at you, Spider-Man mains that always go negative.
If I’m the only healer, don’t expect me to keep you topped off at all times. And if you run out of my range or LOS, I can’t help you.
@@Spectacular_Insanity After gold rank, people do realize you need 2 healers, the los part though, yeah that persists.
i dont bother with healing anymore. too tough and people get mad at you for sucking. melee where it at for the noobs
I have seen spiderman that had the lowest damage but he was killing the healers only
Its not about damage it's about quality kills...
Can you cover team comps?
Wait. So Mug started as an overwatch tips channel?
Is he going to turn into a Marvel Rivals tips channel next I wonder
Fantastic video
I’ve never played Overwatch, and I also have potato aim. However, I love all things Marvel and a longtime Cloak & Dagger fan. I’ll probably try the game.
> self preservation as a healer
My decades of experience in TF2 prepared me for this...
This is the best newbie guide I’ve seen but you still used terminology like “cc” that is not really beginners stuff
Thank you so this is amazing
I was listening to this in the shower and when you said Max as in HBO Max I must heard it as match as if you and your family shared a dating app subscription 😮
I'm not going to play this game, but I do want to give you some engagement. Shouldn't the title have the word Rivals in it? Ultimate Marvel is a different thing.
If the enemy DPS is Storm and Iron Man and mine is Squirrel Girl and Moon Knight im going to ask one to go a hit-scan.
This dude will blame anyone but my healer with 2000 heals lol
you should try healing
DO NOT shoot Peni nests. They explode and damage your team! - Peni main.
good advice
I need to learn
Who is that in the video thumbnail? She reminds me of Psylocke from X-Men.
I hear risk of rain 2 music in the background
Early worm gets the bird 😌👉🏼👉🏼
This is my first time playing a game like this. While I like it im not very good. I am a life long bronze player lol
Nah.. don’t shoot my penny nest lol
I just want to be a good main tank and healer. DPS doesn’t even interest me just like in OW
I am actually playing the game... How could you possibly know that?!
Is annoying when they mention an overwatch character and Im like "yeah, no idea"
To be honest I wanted a real basic tutorial. This is a great tactic tutorial but was way to much for me lol luna snow it is and watch the chaos unfold
Shoot penny neat shoulda been first LMAOOO
i wish they had a melee healer . i play a lot of dark souls so melee for me lol
Word "money" was not said even once in this video. Personally disappointed
Quick Play IS NOT where you go to "Learn A Hero" or "Learn How to Play"!!! This game has a FANTASTIC A.I. for you to play against and learn.

Sure you can learn the move set in an ai match (shooting range also exists for that) but any applications beyond SHOULD be practiced vs other players.
Replace “Quick Play” with “Competitive” and I’d agree with you 😅
D-Did he just say-
HEALERS??
this game is full of cheaters, don't learn just install hacs
Tip 1 - don't play the game, don't even install the game. Dont support generic f2p slop.
Good lil blizz piggy shill. Keep shilling for your multi billion dollar company.
