Totally agree, that's an awesome upside to the skin and I love that they've embraced that part of his character. NetEase will almost definitely agree, and I hope the skins it chooses feel tasteful and not forced, but this Loki skin is definitely special and something worth celebrating!

I actually had no idea they added Stamina! Was going off the Steam page, that’s good to know. Haven’t had a chance to try the beta so I’m super excited to try the game when it comes out. Really glad to hear there’s a lot to do! Making a nice house will be my top priority like it always is in cozy games lol.

Appreciate the comment!:)

I love both games and play them equally, actually. I've written about ways that Rivals has outdone Overwatch as well, such as the Halloween events. It's important to be critical of the things you love if you want them to be better, and I do think that Rivals balancing/hero variety could nosedive if it keeps dropping heroes at its current pace

Definitely agree with the notion that it doesn’t seem like DICE can win no matter what it does lol. I’d argue that there is a difference between big and empty maps like 2042 and well-designed large maps like Caspian Border, which is probably where the argument stems from for those who actually want large maps and aren’t just complaining.

At the end of the day, I’d love to see a healthy balance each season so all players get something that caters to them, but even then there’d probably still be a lot of negativity. People just loooove to complain nowadays instead of putting that energy into what they love.

I definitely agree with the idea that Reddit and gamers in general tend to be overly negative and complain about everything. I’d also say that the ideal map sizes are Liberation and Firestorm. Personally I’d hate a switch to just big maps, and I’m hoping future additions are either those sizes or we get a healthy mix of sizes every season.

I’m pretty content with the map lineup myself, I just hope BF Studios comes out and says definitely what the plans are for future maps in the near future to hopefully end all the complaining (though I doubt that’ll ever happen lol)
