Everyone loves feeling like the main character, getting a quad-kill, and seeing their name pop up at the top left of the screen. It is understandable, then, why everyone wants to play a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, especially when some of the IP's most beloved heroes (Iron Man, Spider-Man) are in that class. But this game is balanced around a 2/2/2 split, so the matches in which you get rolled over due to having three or four Duelists on your team feel terrible to p

Marvel Rivals Abilities Rivals has an impressive array of systems in place. A competitive queue is available, they publicly addressed the elephant in the room that cheating was , and a remake system to punish AFK players at the start of games was already in pl

Crafting a team in Marvel Rivals is just as important as selecting your individual character. Teams are there for support and offer abilities in offense or defense that you either excel in, making you stronger, or fill in for anything you lack so that you can defeat your enemies together for a swift victory. Fortunately, Black Panther synergizes well with most other characters , allowing your team flexibility and cho

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

Star-Lord is not quite as good at staying in the air as full fliers such as Iron Man. Instead, his flight and rocket boots are all about getting movement across the map. This flexibility is what helps to make the vulnerability of a lower health bar less of an issue . This is where you really want to shine with Star-L

Continuing the topic of simple quotes with a reference, we have Hulk humiliating Loki by referencing their first confrontation in the movies, where Loki didn't stand a chance against our favorite mons

Who would expect Frank Castle to have some comedic lines? Though the character is serious all the time, a lot of comedy comes from the contrast between his seriousness and the other characters' silly personalit

Star-Lord’s Ultimate is one of his best traits and is what makes him one of people’s favorites . This allows him to fly freely while locking onto targets and being a general nuisance.

Star-Lord's greatest strength is his ability to move, dodge incredibly fast, and get behind enemies who are lagging behind . He cannot recover health, but he can make it hurt to take him out. He also aims and shoots with his blasters quickly, often quicker than similar characters. This flexibility makes him a bit of a monster when he gets goi

There are a fair number of characters in the Marvel Rivals roster now. Given that we still do not have a full roster and the developers could have a few surprises yet, it is impossible to know who will rise to the top once the full game is launched. However, Star-Lord can be a very strong character if you know how to pilot him w

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

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

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

It should not be used sparingly, as otherwise you may not be able to replenish your speed when you most need it, causing your demise.

While Black Panther has several ranged options, most of his attacks are at close quarters , so using the right combos while dashing head-first into combat is important to apply his offense to opponents.
