Is Healing Overpowered In Marvel Rivals?

[@cantu7214]

Absolutely. The fact you can bring one person down to 1HP just for them to INSTANTLY go back to full health is ridiculous. Too much invincibility abilities that are on cooldown instead of an ultimate (i.e. C&D’s bubble, Loki’s Healing pods). Not to mention the absolutely BUSTED ultimates like Luna and Mantis’. The amount of burst healing and invincibility needs to be the first thing they nerf in this game. It’s not fun when people literally cannot die

[@RealTrueKingsDen]

It is op but I will say the 1 good thing about it is that it encourages teamwork. Like we need 2 people to dive 1 character or coordinate a double dive on both supports. Or just play Hawkeye and ignore heals 😆

[@cantu7214]

@@RealTrueKingsDen thats bad game design. Especially considering how short the cooldown is compared to how much value they get from it. In OW, immortality field has a 20+ second cooldown because how strong it is. The cooldowns need to be longer for stuff like that. It’s not fun to see all your progress nullified by clicking a single button on a cooldown.

[@OtachiKaiju68]

I just found out a way to counter those annoying invincibility ultimate from Luna, Mantis, C&D and IW as Iron Man, if you manage to get a direct with them with his ult after they popped them, it will still oneshot thru they’re ulti killing them instantly

[@randalljolla]

Healing is just too easy in this game. Most of them you don’t even have to aim.

[@code_renard]

I would know that it defo hits bad when you finally almost down an enemy and they go behind cover and immediately get it all back, though I ponder how much would they have to rebalance considering that there are characters like Wolverine who pretty much rely on the strong healing to actually do their thing. Without a healer to keep him up, Wolverine folds like paper

[@GhostbladeX101]

just buff wolverine

[@RealTrueKingsDen]

I don't think they should nerf it. I think it encourages more teamwork. You just need 2 people to hard focus a specific character. I've never been this motivated to go after a support first in any game lol. As a loki main I get why I get dove on so hard now lol

[@itsraventm]

Short answer: yes Long answer: yes, it is

[@coal4208]

Let an Iron Fist focus on you specifically with no help, you’ll get the correct answer to that question real quick.😂

[@RealTrueKingsDen]

I play loki so I just reverse his dmg and tp away lol. On mantis though I better land that 💤 😴

@@RealTrueKingsDen ah okay that makes sense, Loki is hella fun to play with too.

I’ve been waiting for videos to come out on this particular topic and you’re probably one of the first I saw one post on Google about this and a few people actually being honest and agreeing with me. Nobody likes a sponge fest. All I’m trying to say is I want the moves to feel meaningful because once they don’t the game just gets aggravating not because you’re losing but because it literally feels pointless. Think of it this way when you make the characters look run and sound like bad ass tanks yet when their hitting something it feels like you’re slapping them with a Nerf bat its just kind of counterintuitive and defeats the purpose of making the characters the way they did. Which, by the way, all of the characters look sound and feel great. It’s just healing. That’s it in my opinion. Some people can use a few buffs I don’t really want nerves. The only thing I want Nerf or tweaked is how easy it is to heal an entire group. But I would like people like Spider-Man to receive a buff because Spider-Man is supposed to be strong and he’s got laughable damage right now. Doctor Strange as well has laughable damage and is pretty slow. He’s usable because he’s a tank and absorbs a lot of damage, but his move is like the equivalent to a shotgun Roman candle. Wolverine has 300 health which to me doesn’t make sense when he’s basically immortal and has a healing regenerative factor yet caps Health is at 650..? So Wolverine doesn’t really get to do his role, which is rush in and fuck shit up. So Spider-Man receiving a damage buff wolverine receiving a health buff and Doctor Strange receiving either a speed buff and or a damage buff. For Doctor Strange, it would also be nice if you don’t want to buff him at least make his recharge times less because they last really long. His portal mechanic takes forever. So you don’t really get to utilize that character for any role other than taking damage with his shield. Because his Roman candle move, doesn’t really do much and it doesn’t even have good range so you have to get in close and when you do you get demolished. You can get better with these characters and I know everyone would say just get better but I have and you’re right, but I still think these things are very true and should happen anyway bc it makes sense to do it

[@RealTrueKingsDen]

When it comes to dr strange his damage isn't that good but he can do high burst once you build up dark magic and animation cancel his primary fire into it. Range is low though but he can burst someone down as a tank if he has the hulk team up. Wolverine is just trash I can't even defend him lol. I agree about healing though. There's tons of immortal or near immortal abilities in the game. Loki field, luna and mantis ult. It's crazy that 1 ability does so much. Jeff in less than 1 second putting someone to full is crazy. I hope there's a small nerf to healing but if not we'll have to hard focus 1 person to burst through the heals 😅

[@SGamerr_]

Bro I was literally explaining this to myself earlier, before the update today the game definitely needed some balancing update some characters would just hit u too hard and then you’d do so little damage. IMO I think character buffs need to be heavily needed rather than healers ill get in a fight get my enemy down so low and then outta no where their health bar is back at 100 and im dead. I do agree that characters look like tanks and hit like water guns but with so many different classes the game just doesn’t feel smooth at all especially after this most recent 40 GIGABYTE update.

[@mtk1808]

Yes, hulk loses to a mantis on a 1v1... The hulk, is weaker than mantis.

[@RealTrueKingsDen]

Ngl i never had that happen. Once I hit her once and she loses her speed boost she's pretty much doomed unless she sleeps me and if u can predict when she'll sleep u can use ur shield to block it. If she ults though... just run 🤣

[@LuciferWrld999]

No its not. Have you tried playing without a healer? You literally die in seconds. Also i lost matches where me and another healer have 10k healing each and then other team had around 5k total healing.

[@RealTrueKingsDen]

Rarely since I almost always play healer. Healing is 100% OD right now but we're learning to play around it. I don't think it should be nerfed. I'm playing more dps to see how to deal with it.

[@laxattack4620]

I'm guessing the enemy team died less which means they were taking less damage and, by extension, had to be healed less. It's like how a vanguard on a winning team generally has less damage blocked than a vanguard on a losing team.

[@zuzulupo]

Sucks I land 3-4 shots across the map as Hela and they get healed instantly 😅 like I’m landing nasty shots only for them to run off and hide get instant heal and come back only have to land 2 shots (Black Widow and Hawkeye) like why am I working this hard for lmao

[@RealTrueKingsDen]

Literally no reason to lol. Hawkeye is the great equalizer to all the crazy healing in the game right now lol

[@MichaelLehnert-im4ij]

Healing in this game is the ONE thing that makes me want to stop playing simply because it makes you feel like everything you’re doing is pointless. For moves that have recharge times that are pretty long to have healing that Just be nonstop heals for everyone is insanely dumb in my opinion. I played this game for like four nights in a row and didn’t get MVP once… Just approve a point I put on mantis and got MVP first try. Who cares about that but it just goes to show how overpowered they are. I just think it makes the game less fun when you’re hitting a sponge. The times what I’m having the most fun is when you’re having a one on one or a one V2 or one V3 and you managed to pull off multiple KO’s or a good fight back-and-forth. The times that I feel like throwing my controller through the screen is when you’re standing there hitting someone nonstop and you’re literally either watching their damage go all the way to zero but they will not die or their damage bar is not even moving yet your moves take time to charge yet the heals have no downtime if any. We already have heals placed around the map I think characters having the ability to healTheir teammates is way too much. And if you were going to keep it in the game, fine but make it so you actually have to target specific people to heal not where you can just walk up to a group and heal the entire group. It’s just constant spam healing and if people start to realize all you have to do is stay in this massive cluster fuck with one healer being protected nobody dies, especially when your tanks like Thor, venom, cap etc. it kind of just promotes this chaos where you can’t really tell what’s going on because everyone is in one little ball I understand this is a team game, but you have the entire map. It would create better gameplay in my opinion if people were allowed to distance themselves from each other just a little bit. Because when they do, you actually have good fights But when they’re being spam healed, and you’re sitting there, literally holding the button down on someone who is not even facing you and they’re not dying and then all the sudden they turn around and kill you that doesn’t feel fun

[@DiggThePump]

nah, because all you need is one other player and can overcome the healer, or just be super aggressive. Its like overwatch, kill the healers and everyone else dies

[@RealTrueKingsDen]

I can agree but lots of healers have a borderline immortality ability. Cloaks fade (balanced imo) luna and mantis ult. Loki reverse healing field etc. Jeff is just annoying because his beam seemingly has infinite range and the bubble spam insta heals someone to full. Tanks get bullied so I guess they really need the healing. Just kinda sucks that if healing is so high 2 healers healing each other feel impossible to kill unless you have a good Hawkeye or black widow obviously 🙂

[@DiggThePump]

@@RealTrueKingsDen that is true too. One my homies mains Jeff and he almost never dies it’s actually insane, so I can see a Jeff and either Loki or rocket for the instant revive being a little crazy.

[@laxattack4620]

Other healers heal the targeted healer which means flanking to pick off a healer is rough unless you play a high burst damage character like Iron Fist. Even then cc abilities can shoot you down, and otherwise the remaining specialists have abilities to escape before that damage becomes meaningful.

Are you all going to keep bitching about the game? Or are you people going to actually just get good at the game. You're superheroes. you're supposed to be strong. Like holy shit.
