Chapters
00:00 - 01:30: Introduction and Rank Distribution Overview The chapter starts with a greeting from Freshy who mentions upcoming updates for different seasons of the game 'Oby'. The main focus of this section is the rank distribution for 'Marvel Rivals'. It is revealed that a large number of players are ranked in the 'drones' category, with a similar distribution observed in the silver and gold ranks.
01:31 - 03:30: Character Wishlist and Development Insights The chapter dives into the nuances of character progression and expectations within a competitive gaming context. It suggests that skill levels among players in the Platinum rank are relatively similar, with primary differences stemming from the amount of playtime and win rates. However, it's noted that achieving Diamond rank is possible even with a negative win rate, thus win rates aren't always a true measure of skill. The narrator shares a personal perspective, mentioning their own experience of limited playtime and currently being at Platinum 2, with potential to reach Diamond in the future.
03:31 - 05:30: Seasonal Changes and Team-up Updates The chapter "Seasonal Changes and Team-up Updates" discusses the surprising low percentage of players reaching the top ranks like 'Celestial Eternity' and 'One Above All.' It highlights issues around cheating, boosted accounts, and low-ranking players who somehow achieve these high ranks. The chapter suggests that the current distribution is based on pure statistics, implying that these problems may not be as significant as perceived.
05:31 - 09:30: Interview Insights and Game Balance The chapter discusses the challenges faced by players in finding ranked matches due to the low number of players in certain ranks, leading to longer waiting times. There is anticipation and curiosity about the changes expected in the upcoming season.
09:31 - 12:00: Community and Final Thoughts The chapter discusses the topic of character additions to a game, specifically mentioning War Machine and Gambit. Developers have stated that War Machine will not be added as a separate character because he is too similar to Iron Man, and they want to include more diverse characters. There is, however, excitement and demand for Gambit to be included in the game, with a strong belief that he will be added in the future.
SEASON 2 UPDATE & HUGE TEAM-UP CHANGES IN MARVEL RIVALS! NEW DEV INTERVIEW! Transcription
00:00 - 00:30 greetings guys it's freshy and we have even more crazy updates for oby developers about Season 2 Season 3 and even season 4 and I will show you it a little bit later but let's start with other news so first of all Marvel Rivals showed the Marvel Rivals rank distribution and as you can see here quite a lot of people are actually sitting in drones and then we have a pretty much same um distribution of the ranks in silver gold and let's say
00:30 - 01:00 Platinum it pretty much same so I would suggest that these people are all about the same skill the only difference is that maybe the hours of playing and win rates sometimes but includ the fact that we know that even with a negative win rate you can get to the diamond easily I think it's not really that big deal personally I play not that much in the current season and I uh sitting on the Platinum 2 I think uh don't do much maybe maybe I will hit Diamond this
01:00 - 01:30 season but we'll see and honestly this is quite insane because for the celestial eternity and one above all we actually have super low percentage of players here we all know that a lot of Pros actually cried about a lot of different cheaters or a low rank players who just get to these ranks somehow stuff like boosted accounts and this so personally I think that including fact that this distribution is a basic pure stats it's showing us that it shouldn't be a problem actually because there's
01:30 - 02:00 not really much players on these ranks and uh the game takes quite a long time to find your ranked match so yeah it's really it's really interesting and to be honest I really really curious uh what going to be the changes in the next upcoming season anyway tell me what your rank is in the game right now besides Marvel Rivals Intel dro the Shroud was asked about who he want to see added to the Marvel Rivals and he answered gamb of course but second would
02:00 - 02:30 be War Machine and fact that we know that war machine is definitely not coming to the game as separate character according to developers at least maybe they will change their minds in the future because they said that well Iron Man is quite similar character and we don't want another uh copy cats in the in the game so we have slots for other cool characters but Gambit for sure for sure Gambit is really amazing character and we all desperately need him in the game and most likely he got to be in the
02:30 - 03:00 season 3 on four and this is kind of confirmed by the upcoming death talk well let's say D toie from the PC Gamer which I will show you in just a few seconds but beside this we also get a rep off from this article from the Marval Rivals Intel and it said Marvel Rivals game director revealed that started in the season 2 they plan to introduce new team up skills with a seasonal update and adjust some existing
03:00 - 03:30 one woo now that's hot now that's hot it's definitely game changing so I'm pretty sure that season 2 will be absolutely new Marvel Rivals which we don't really know so far and this will be just massive it will be insanely good we will be shocked by the different changes in the game a lot of people are speculating I mean data miners or uh some news channels they speculating that we're going to get get Wolverine with a magic portals who can RND him in the
03:30 - 04:00 time we also might get some new improved team ups absolutely new team ups for the Magneto possibly for some other characters as well and oh man oh man it would be absolutely new meta it would be absolutely new experience and maybe the characters who are do sheet right now like for example Widow which can't be good even with a lot of fixes even with a boosted capacity of the ammo and um even though developers trying to push her so part with a free skin damn she's
04:00 - 04:30 still bad and hopefully with the new season she became much better in the rankit and overall in the game so I believe that these changes will be insane it will be so amazing to see how it will work for the game like hero shooter because previously I never saw anyone do this stuff in their games but I think that this is a really good step and we will see much more amazing stuff hey rivalers I'm happy to announc
04:30 - 05:00 that to celebrate New Season 1.5 I decided to make five lettuce bundles giveaway to participate subscribe to this Channel and like and comment any video then stay tuned and watch my videos to see the winner winners will be Reed in the end of the season there will be five finners in total which I'll choose randomly from the subscribers thank you for your support and good luck so now the PC Gamer article with the interview with Guan Guan the game director of the game so let's see what huge news it's brought to us so Marvel
05:00 - 05:30 Rivals gring roster of the heroes scared me but the gamees director seems sure that all is under control everything is progressing smoothly so let's see what he answered in this huge article and Marvel rival season lasts around 3 months meaning eight new Heroes per year at this rate n East will double its roster in the four years by the time Marvel reels is knowed as OverWatch East right now it will have bul up to 105 Heroes and increase over to 100% while
05:30 - 06:00 Marvel Rivals impressive catalog of 7,000 comic heroes means n East has no shortage of eligible roster additions that's a lot of characters for play to learn and an increasingly Hefty balancing job we have invested a lot of resources into developing upcoming content including new characters new maps new modes and more Guang gun Chan game director for Marvel Rivals told PC Gamer in a recent interview the content for season 2 is ready and set to go and
06:00 - 06:30 this is really amazing because you pretty much know that we have a lot of stuff which I revealed for you yesterday so let's see what we have besides the design for the season 3 and four have also been completed and are currently under intensive development overall everything is progressing smoothly so we already have designed for the season 3 and season 4 and they also have been completed so basically of course it's possible that we're going to get some new dat mind stuff and also that we
06:30 - 07:00 actually got to get a really amazing seasons and I'm pretty sure that we got to get some amazing characters as well but let's see what he told us beside this I have no doubt that the devs will be able to keep the rate of the new content up I'm just worried about how large influxes of hero will impact the game competitive balance we're only on season one and rival latest do this Human Torch is already having a negative impact not only has he recently been bued but he's also got a monstrous team up ability
07:00 - 07:30 with the storm which turns her ultimate in a fire tornado that hits so hard it can Cheo through any support Al so unless you can zip out of its path with a moment ability running away doesn't count or get up to High Ground at the moment's notice you're pretty much dead mean any time store popups your alt right now however Marvel Rivals have never been too preoccupied with a perfect balance otherwise it would have started out with with 33 hero with a
07:30 - 08:00 promise of adding two more every season or dismiss demand for the r key there are more than a few broken characters like Luna sow gloen dogger ultimates both essentially grants your team temporal immortality storm can damage and speed boost your whole team without worrying about the resisting of cool downs and Punisher can deal horrifying amount of damage but only a few Heroes feel truly unfair to play against because of how many powerful characters there are are an offer instead of each hero having a
08:00 - 08:30 line of a direct counter to keep them in check there are just a ton of ridiculously powerful abilities spread across the roster the fact that Jeff the L sharks ultimate ability which gives him a chance to swallow and kill everyone else in the game isn't the most dangerous ability speaks volumes about how deadly some of these other heroes are it would be easy to get buged down with a fine tun in hero balance but it seems like the overarching goal for the Marvel Rivals and will continue to be fostering the fun and slightly chotic
08:30 - 09:00 game if anyone overpowered nobody is I suppose and here's a quote from the guangan Chan we hope to fulfill players fantasies about Marvel superheroes and consistently deliver new experiences which I think is perfect forit because we already had OverWatch which was focused on the competitive completely and we know what the situation is right now Guang Chan also mentioned on the one hand we will consider interesting gameplay mechanics that can bring about new new environmental changes for the
09:00 - 09:30 perspective of the game's environment lineup and the character's own experiences as well as unique and novel experiences that have not been seen before chance s on the other hand we will also take account in the progression our narrative writing and the new themes we want to introduce overall we hope to fulfill players fantasies about maral level superheroes and consistently deliver a new experience but this isn't to say the devs are just going to throw herob Bell B out of the window while the primary
09:30 - 10:00 objective is to create fan and engaging game the devs will still monitor herob balance and prevent things from getting to Wacky especially as More Heroes enter the roster and also first we will closely monitor key Matrix for the heroes across a different modes champ says for example in a quick match and competitive modes we will analyze data such a win rate Peck rate damage healing damage taken and final blows for Heroes at various ranks in a different tournament this data serves as for foundation for
10:00 - 10:30 our balancing efforts at the same time we will analyze the composition of hero lineups and their win rates within the aforementioned modes which will be crucial reference for our overbalance interaction finally we will pay close attention to players Community as the one of the base for the balancing decision and this is so huge that he is actually saying this because it's so damn important leasing to the community another feature that help that is keep Marvel rival roughly balanced is a team
10:30 - 11:00 up feature despite this being responsible for some truly handus gamebreaking abilities like storms flame Teta or winter sold Punisher getting an increased rate of a fire and ultimate ammo from Rocket Raccoon it can also work as way as boost weaker heroes team up skills are Dynamic Chan set starting from season 2 we will introduce new team up skills with the seasonal update and adjust some existing ones together with a seasonal overall balance adjustments this will create new combat environment
11:00 - 11:30 and experience for the season and honestly guys I'm really amazed how cool is this and how much different things we will get in the upcoming seasons and especially for the season 3 and four and obviously for the season 2 which going to be pretty much soon in just less than a month so this is so amazing that we getting this grav things and I just want to know what you think overall about these death talks see guys this all for me for this video I hope you enjoyed
