10 Characters Marvel Rivals Must Include In Post-Launch Updates

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 Marvel Rivals soon to enter a similar space in the gaming landscape, I got to chat with the game's director, Guangyun Chen, at this year's Tokyo Game Show . During our conversation, we spoke about everything, from the Marvel IP to the comparisons to Conc


One of the problems that Overwatch had, which Marvel Rivals can avoid , is an over-catering towards the ESports side of the sport. **Blizzard pushed Overwatch 's ESport hard with the now defunct Overwatch League ** , and the balance of the game began to cater toward the highest level of play, rather than the recreational level where most of the playerbase is. As long as Marvel Rivals caters its balance toward the many rather than the few, who play at a completely different level, and properly tests new heroes, it can avoid this is


These abilities are all shown off in the video from YouTuber Dantics , who goes over them all and shows you how they work in practice mode . Characters may still get nerfed or buffed before the full game's launch , so this skill set may change. However, until then, see what you can make of his abilities from what people like Dantics have s


Another popular movie addition, Thanos, would fit perfectly as a Vanguard in Marvel Rivals Patch Notes Rivals . Thanos has the natural bulk to play the Tank role and would synergize well with the other roles. His kit would also be incredibly easy to make when basing it around his infinity gauntlet . The gauntlet could be his basic attack or replaced with his twin blade sword for a cooler eff


Ghost Rider is a character who has gained more popularity in recent years, and was one of the strongest characters in _Marvels Midnight Suns _ . His inclusion, in any of his iterations, would be an exciting addition to the hero shooter. Another benefit is how easily his powers could translate into the game . These powers are what slot him into the DPS Duelist r


His main weapon/basic attack would be one of the chains that he can hit from a slightly spaced close range. One ability could even be a long-range hook similar to what Spider-Man has. His passive could inflict a light-damaging burn over time effect on anyone hit with his abilities . For an ultimate, two likely options exist. One is a temporary mode that buffs all his abilities and attacks, or the other is him riding his signature motorcycle in a line and dealing massive dam


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


Doc Ock's basic attack is simple to create by using his mechanical arms. A sustain ability would be spinning his arms rapidly to delete any damage in its radius. A second ability could be a large jump that deals little damage but stuns/pins any enemies he lands on. Finally, a fun and powerful ultimate would play off his occasional ability to shoot lasers from his tentacles, pointing all four in a wide line to fire a powerful beam that turns slight


The easiest way for Mysterio to heal would be sending out drones that attach to allies and heal them for a set amount of time. This would likely be best with multiple drones rather than one. To make him feel different from Loki, his illusion ability would be cast on allies rather than himself, giving his team more opportunities to engage or escape as needed . A tactical ultimate this trickster could have is creating a large monster illusion that would crowd control, either fear or slow effect, enemies near it for a per


Typically, you will want to stay to the side of or behind enemies if you can anyway, but Star-Lord can get around back easily, and using the Ultimate in this way can help you win matches that much quicker. This is one of the things that will help you become much more comfortable with this character in Marvel Riv


With an industry filled with live service games that keep everything locked behind pay walls, despite being free-to-play, **it is good to see Marvel Rivals go against the grain ** . If this promise continues, and all heroes continue to be free beyond launch, like the trailer said, then the growing roster of characters will be more exciting than ever. With such a large roster, balancing could be an issue in the future, but that is a bridge best crossed when arrived


League of Legends is perhaps the most popular instance of this, and the free rotation is known as a feature of many MOBAs, also seen in Heroes of the Storm and Smite . It has leaked its way into other genres, like with Overwatch 2, Paladins , and Multiverses , but this is something that Marvel Rivals is avoiding. In fact, all the characters will be free to use at launch and beyond , which is amazing, considering that the roster of heroes and villains is massive for a game that is yet to be relea
