10 Characters Marvel Rivals Must Include In Post-Launch Updates

One of the selling points of the hero shooter genre is that it offers a wide variety of gameplay types. Unlike other arena-based shooters, hero shooters aren’t entirely focused on run-and-gun gameplay . This makes characters like Invisible Woman from Fantastic Four perfect for Marvel Rivals patch notes Riva


War Machine's basic attack could either be a stream of bullets from his gloves or slow-moving but high-impact rockets. In either case, one ability would utilize his rockets for a high burst lock-on attack. Mobility would also be a crucial part of this kit, possibly making War Machine into a high-mobility aerial assass


Under these circumstances, audio cues become almost as important as visual ones. As it stands, it is hard to keep track of mobile Duelists as a Strategist, and almost impossible to hear a flanker unless both of you are indoors and far enough away from the action. The audio should be clearer, even if it sacrifices immers


With the Timestream Entanglement completely shifting the fabric of the multiverse , an intergalactic force as powerful as the Nova Corps would likely get involved in such a grave situation. A battle taking place on their homeland of Xandar would fit in nicely h


Role queue solves this issue, but brings with it too much trouble to be worth it. Duelist queues will be endless, and people will be forced onto an even split between the three roles, instead of being able to experiment. We don't know what the solution here is, but there should be some incentives in place to avoid the pitfalls that we saw Overwatch fall i


With his adamantium claws, Wolverine has tremendous close-range fighting potential . His acute senses could also make him hyper aware of nearby enemy abilities that are heading for the player, similar to Spider-Man’s spidey-senses. His ultimate ability could send him into a temporary berserk rage, buffing his offense and allowing players to go to town with his cl


Recently, via YouTube , **Marvel Rivals has released a content roadmap, revealing what players can expect from the full release on December 6 ** , and there is a lot to enjoy. There are eight maps for both Quick Match and Competitive play, a new Practice Range, a Conquest Map, and thirty-three characters at launch. The closed beta began with an impressive twenty-one characters, with Thor and Jeff the Land Shark being added during the beta to bring the roster to twenty-three characters total, and even this was a big collection of characters for a hero shoo


With TF2's massive issues, Overwatch 2 has had little to no competition for years, so NetEase's take on hero-shooters is a positive for the genre, even if you'd rather stick to Blizzard's take on it. Marvel Rivals could be better though, so we would like to highlight eight aspects of it that can be impro


Silver Surfer is a Marvel heavyweight who has the potential to be a must-pick in Marvel Rivals . His surfboard would give him good mobility, something that’s important in hero shooters. His list of abilities makes it difficult to place him in a specific role, however, because he can fit neatly into tank, damage, and support. Perhaps the damage category is the safest bet for balance reas

As long as Marvel Rivals receives continual updates from NetEase games, it will largely avoid the issues of Team Fortress 2 , since a lot of its balancing issues can be attributed to negligence from Valve. It also has the budget and creativity behind it to eclipse many other free-to-play hero shooters by default , such as Paladins and Pixel Gun 3D , along with one of the biggest IPs in the world to maintain interest. If the game is as fun as the playtest suggests, Marvel Rivals will kick off, but maintaining popularity will be the hard p


Competitive games have a tendency to become stale. MOBAs like LoL get considerable meta shifts every few months, although that comes with its own set of problems. Adding new characters works too, but brings with it another host of issues. Marvel Rivals opted for the Season Bonus system, which isn't a good direction to fol


There should be two distinct voice lines tied to ultimate abilities, one for your allies and one for your enemies. For example, when in Overwatch 2 your friendly Reaper uses Death Blossom, you'll hear him calmly say "Clearing the area". If he is an enemy, though, he'll shout "die" thrice. Additionally, this allows more flexibility in the quotes, with characters in OW frequently using their native language when heard by the enemy team (e.g. Sombra's "apagando las luces", which means "turning the lights off" in Spani


Overwatch isn't a perfect game, but it laid the foundation Marvel Rivals was built on. One of the most crucial pillars NetEase missed, though, was the time to kill on squishies. In OW2, if a high-damage hero catches a healer off guard, they're dead. That can be a Genji combo, or even a Reinhardt drive


And with the premise of Marvel Rivals involving different worlds colliding, the team could approach this in some very interesting ways. For example, merging a modern-day New York with the futuristic version inhabited by Peni Parker in 3
