Fun fact, squirrel girl was made as a one off character due to her inherently silly design in both physical appearance and name, and was assured to appear only as a one off character during the gritty realism era of 90s comic books, she was made as a joke of what the next iteration heroes could be

[@gdaymaster8499]

True. I sucked with Spiderman when playing him on occasion. His kit was so overloaded I still feel I don't understand it. But I can still flank and get key kills - Heck my first game on him I got the winning kills by starting the fight killing both supports on point with the tank next to them

[@callmejacob33]

I believe that characters are not broken but very well rounded in all aspects, they dont really have clear weaknesses which imo gives a lot of solo carry potential and prevents counterpicking

After playing this yesterday with a group of people I can confirm, this will be exactly overwatch's life cycle. Which means we are back at the beginning of the timeline so every character is OP and the game feels fresh and fun. Enjoy while the toxicity is minimum I suppose

[@mattevans4377]

There were definitely outliers in Overwatch compared to this game. Nothing here feels like a Tracer, Widow, or D.va situation. The only one close is Venom, and even then he's surprisingly manageable with the right picks and playing smart (very easy to stun, and zero value if you can live through his damage)

squirrel girl is JunkRat and Mei in one. She can stop people from moving and she can bounce her shot off walls.

[@TheBrother34]

My mains are Magik and Peni, both are very powerful in their own right. Magik can reliably take out two squishies on her own and can sustain health from dodging attacks and hitting slow attacking tanks. Peni's mines can dominate areas of congestion and free areas of conflict for allies to retreat or engage without contest. Plus, it's a free kill in unsuspecting corners of 4 mines 😹 With them, my friends and I (full team) always boost me up to 25+ kills and mvp status for either character easily. I like Hulk as an alternative in close quarter maps.

[@randomguy3080]

Honesty the titles does feel correct, everyone character feels very powerful in their own way, none feels crazy strong, like iron fist I have seen people say he’s crazy strong, bro just go Captain America, you can outfight him, or if you got a good widow, boom headshot before he can get close

[@Zeltaku]

In a game like Marvel Rivals, having overpowered heroes makes sense for several reasons: Fidelity to Source Material: Marvel's heroes are often depicted as incredibly powerful in their respective comics and films. Characters like Thor, Hulk, or Scarlet Witch possess god-like abilities that make them formidable. To stay true to these characters' portrayals, it’s necessary for them to be overpowered in the context of the game. Balanced Competition: In a game with multiple heroes, overpowered abilities can create a balance between characters. If each hero has strengths that can rival or exceed those of others, it allows for more dynamic and varied gameplay. Instead of a one-dimensional system where only a few heroes are strong, every hero can feel impactful. Fun Factor: Overpowered heroes add excitement and spectacle to gameplay. Marvel fans expect the action to feel grand and epic, mirroring the epic battles seen in the movies and comics. Playing as a hero with immense power can be satisfying and engaging, providing players with the thrill of wielding abilities on an over-the-top scale. Strategic Depth: Overpowered characters can still be countered or balanced by gameplay mechanics like skillful timing, strategy, and synergy with other heroes. Overpowered doesn't always mean unbeatable-it can encourage players to think critically about how they deploy their heroes, adding layers of depth to the experience. Marketing and Appeal: Marvel characters are iconic, and players are often drawn to the game because they want to play as their favorite powerful heroes. Overpowered heroes create a sense of fulfillment, as players can experience the raw power of beloved characters in a way that resonates with their expectations from the Marvel universe. In summary, making the heroes overpowered ensures the game is true to the Marvel universe, provides engaging gameplay, and delivers on the fantasy of playing as iconic, larger-than-life characters.
