A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

What are patient gamers thinking about Marvel Rivals ? Looking for a game to replace League of Legends (lemmy.cafe)

I hope this post is still allowed as League of Legends is like 15 years old.

As I've been posting on !leagueoflegends@lemm.ee , the game seems getting quite enshittified lately, making especially difficult for new players to join.

As a potential consequence, the game got quite difficult lately. Before, you could still win a game as a casual player. Nowadays I feel like casual players left and there's only "serious gamers" around, especially in 5v5 normal games.

Anyway, all of that to say that Marvel Rivals has been on my radar as a replacement. Not the biggest fan of hero shooters, but gameplay seems fun and engaging. Is anyone here playing it?

I don't understand the hype around it. Played it briefly, but found it clunky feeling. Characters are so big, they had to tone down their speed, so everything feelings sluggish. And the abilities just feel mostly useless.

But it's F2P, why bother being patient with a game you don't have to pay to try out?
