Marvel Rivals fans want Hawkeye to get a Nerf
Marvel Rivals players are asking NetEase Games to demote Hawkeye in a future update, as they feel the character is unfair and makes the game less fun.
Redditor IWasSayingBoourns- recently posted two images, one showing Thor's Lightning Realm ability and the other showing Cloak and Dagger's Dagger Storm ability. Both abilities appear to be a blue dome, although they have different intentions. Dagger Storm creates a healing bubble for allies while Lightning Realm creates a slower bubble for enemies. When looking at them side by side, some players complained that it was almost impossible to tell the difference. This can be harmful, as allies can flock to the bubble thinking they'll be healed, when it's actually a bubble meant to obliterate enemies. Some players compared it to Jeff the Land Shark's ultimate in Marvel Rivalswhere they find it too difficult to tell if the ability is being used by an ally or enemy.
Marvel Rivals players can't tell the difference between Dagger Storm and Lightning Realm
Cloak and Dagger's ability kit was the target of even more criticism, as some players find the character's ultimate ability, Eternal Bond, to have some confusing visuals. When the hero initiates Eternal Bond, they sweep across the battlefield, leaving a trail that heals allies and damages enemies. However, the dark trail of mist can be difficult to see, and if there are two cloak and dagger present, it can be difficult to tell whether the trail belongs to an ally or an enemy. While there can be a lot of confusion in the heat of battle, a player recently noticed that strategists shout when they take damage in Marvel Rivalsallowing teammates to track when their healers are in trouble.

Fans recently debated the merits of removing seasonal bonuses Marvel Rivalsand some suggest that the feature could hurt the game's balance in the future. While it remains to be seen how NetEase Games will respond to player requests, many have high hopes Marvel Rivals after it made a big splash at launch.
