Marvel Rivals’ newest replace has everybody flying excessive—besides tank gamers, however what else is new? – Destructoid

Marvel Rivals appears to have an air site visitors management drawback on the onset of its season 2.5 replace as we speak, and it’s as soon as once more left Vanguard gamers within the lurch.

I’ve performed a few dozen matches of Marvel Rivals as we speak and the lobbies have been plagued with the latest hero Ultron (as you’d count on), however different flyers like Iron Man, Storm, and Human Torch, turning the sport right into a nightmare for tank gamers as there may be little they will do to counter this sort of crew composition.

A number of the frequent flying most likely has to do with the truth that there are in-game occasion missions for each Ultron and Iron Man proper now, so issues ought to shake out and normalize over time. However should you hop on the sport this weekend, be ready to be trying up lots.

“Tank mains are screwed,” one consumer wrote. “Solo tanking goes to be extra frequent since individuals need to go triple help, and there’s flying heroes everywhere. We’re going to be seeing a tank scarcity quickly, mark my phrases.”

The principle crew composition I’ve seen is three Strategists, two Duelists, and me because the solo Vanguard. Ultron is seeing a variety of play as the brand new hero, however many appear to be taking part in (or attempting to play) him as a DPS hybrid together with his railgun-like major fireplace. I’m not a fan of how issues are feeling to date, and I’m not alone.

As a tank most important myself, it’s brutal on the market. I do know it’s day one and issues will change, however there may be little or no that tanks can do to counter this kind of play type, and so, nobody desires to play the position once more, and I find yourself being compelled to. It’s laborious in charge anybody, actually, nevertheless it nonetheless sucks.

Sadly, it’s turn into a little bit of a pattern within the recreation. Duelists and Helps all the time appear to be locked shortly in each recreation I’m in, with gamers both compelled to tank in the event that they don’t need to (me, typically) or depressing in a solo tank composition (me, additionally). I hope to see some love for the position in future updates, particularly in the case of coping with flyers.

Peni Parker bought numerous buffs just lately, together with the flexibility to put a second spider nest through a team-up with Rocket Raccoon, however the remainder of the roster feels sort of helpless in opposition to expert gamers within the air. An alternative choice is Hulk together with his bounce capability to seize the flyers out of the sky, however that’s a bit unreliable.
