Environmental effects like bursting lava pools and cavernous pits of fire could be incorporated to make the map more dynamic, and pushing a payload across the bridges that hang above its flaming canyons could make for some mesmerizing yet terrifying scen

As of writing, thirty-three characters have been announced , with Moon Knight being one of the latest characters to join the colorful roster. Thanks to the expressive artstyle, the characters often maintain their classic, Marvel designs in spirit, while looking unique, especially compared to their live action appearances. So far, the characters are all fun to play, fit into the different roles well and all have great designs. There's no reason why this roster is going to stay at thirty-three characters eit

Interestingly, there are some major omissions thus far in Marvel Rivals ' roster , despite its size. Of course, a few are yet to be announced, but some of Marvel 's most famous heroes, like Wolverine, Deadpool, any member of The Fantastic Four, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and many more aren't in the roster yet, but if Rivals does well, it wouldn't be surprising to see all of these characters join the cast, eventually. As the roster continues to grow, however, balance will be a problem going forward, especially if the characters are released quic

We also have a white version of Storm's outfit, as it's a common color for her clothes, and skins that are more direct references, like the Hulk as a gladiator and a skin for the Punisher based on his time in the Thunderbo

The Guardians of the Galaxy have seen more love than Marvel Rivals Beginner guide would have ever imagined since their 2014 film took the superhero genre by storm, so it would only be logical to show them some love with a map of their own.

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.

This balance went out the window as more characters were added, leading to the infamous GOATS comp . GOATS comp omitted DPS, running three supports and tanks, becoming so dominant in competitive play that the DPS role became useless. Overwatch then added role queue to try to fix this, but by then, the balance of the game had been irreversibly damaged because of its still growing ros

Thus, we have Groot, whose lines are always the same words in different tones. Seeing Star-Lord using his own line against him is fun, especially because of the voice actor's delivery of the line, making it better than it feels on pa

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.
