Marvel rivals is a fun, team-based hero shooter with a strong cast of comic characters. The devs take community feedback well (in most aspects) and try to keep the game feeling fresh. I've been playing TF2 since 2009 and played overwatch 1 on release up until OW2 was announced. I still play TF2 occasionally, but I do not touch OW2 at all, ever. Marvel rivals is good at scratching the itch of wanting to play a modern hero-based shooter and filled the void that OW1 left.

Pros:
- You get to play as marvel characters! (All characters are free & available right away)
- Cast of characters have very unique play styles and there is something for everyone
- The dev team prioritizes the casual, fun aspect of the game over the competitive, serious tone games like OW took
- While it is crazy monetized, there are still well done cosmetics you can get through just playing the game

Cons:
- Toxic community, but that comes with any live service hero shooter (i.e. OW, TF2, etc)
- Rough matchmaking; games recently have felt more balanced, but my general experience is you either roll the enemy team or get rolled yourself, but this also happens in other similar games such as OW & TF2
- Performance issues caused by memory leaks. The game is growing so quickly that the optimization has always been behind.
- You MUST play this game with it installed on an SSD. If it is on an HDD it will take forever to load into the match, to the point you load in half way through the match.


Keep in mind that this is a *TEAM* game, so there will be matches where you do well, but cannot win because of team composition, a tilted player, or just poor coordination. This is guaranteed to happen. Everyone has bad games sometimes, wants to play a specific hero, or just run off on their own for a bit. It's important to focus on your own gameplay and play what YOU FIND FUN. At the end of the day, its just a game.
