Evidence mounts that Marvel Rivals stealthily places losing players in bot matches, and I know because I'm the loser (www.pcgamer.com)

Arena Shooters have tried and tried to recapture the magic but it's just long gone

Xonotic would like a word, it never left and it has an ever growing number of fans.

High level gameplay in Xonotic can be seen as nothing other than an a slow and steady evolution of arena shooter design and Xonotic is nothing less than pure flow state when you play.

People paying for Marvel licenses aren't really interested in a couple of thousand players though.

If they're not going gangbusters then it will be shuttered within a month like Concord.

I used play the odd arena shooter (think I've still got an Unreal Tournament CD sat around somewhere) and while I'm old enough to remember them, I don't have the reactions to enjoy them and if I'm honest I never did.

They aren't suggesting that it's for those players. They're telling OP and people who agree with them to go play the games that are designed how they want.

yeah I wasn't meaning to suggest a marvel arena shooter, agreed it would obviously be way too niche
