Summary
Marvel Rivalsplayers have taken to social media to express their growing frustration with Iron Man, Storm, and Human Torch in the popular hero shooter. Despite having 37 heroes available inMarvel Rivals' current roster, the three flying characters seem to be posing a serious problem within the community.
Season 1.5 ofMarvel Rivalsadded Human Torch to the title, making him the third flying hero in the game. The fiery Johnny Storm has a unique set of abilities, with Blazing Blast allowing him to throw fireballs that remain on the ground for a few seconds. Once placed, Human Torch has a couple of options. He can put down more fireballs and connect them to make a zone that deals damage to nearby enemies, or he can crash down into them, essentially detonating them for a tremendous amount of damage. One player even discovered that stacking the fireballs before detonating them deals enough damage to eliminate Luna Snow in the middle of her ultimate ability.
In a recent Reddit post, players came together to share their frustration with the combination of Iron Man, Storm, andHuman Torch inMarvel Rivals. While Iron Man stands alone among the three, Storm and Human Torch have a unique team-up ability that can make them particularly dangerous. When Human Torch uses his ultimate, he can place flaming tornadoes on the battlefield. Storm can then use her ultimate ability to take control of one tornado and combine it with her own Omega Hurricane.
Marvel Rivals Players Are Frustrated With Storm, Iron Man, and Human Torch
Many players are suggesting that the flying heroes may have created a new meta that’s somewhat difficult to counter. Meanwhile, others have claimed that the flying characters can be eliminated quickly if the opposing team uses heroes like Hela andPunisher inMarvel Rivals. A large portion of the community seems to believe that the real issue lies with players not adapting to enemy team compositions, causing them to suffer as the flying heroes terrorize the battlefield unchecked.
Many ofMarvel Rivals' Vanguard playershave been feeling a particular level of frustration when it comes to dealing with the flying heroes, as Peni Parker is the only tank with ranged abilities. In response, a large portion of the community has asked that NetEase Games consider adding more Vanguards with long-range attacks to the roster. Some fans feel encouraged by recent leaks, as it’s rumored that The Hood may be added to the game at some point in the future. Since he canonically wields two pistols, some gamers think he could be the ranged tank they’re looking for. With so much content to explore and even more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future ofMarvel Rivals.
