I had an Iron Fist dive me for an entire game today. I played Cloak & Dagger. Whenever he dives you, use Dagger, look at the ground below you and use her healing aoe ability. Stand inside the aoe during the 1v1 (do not stand still, keep strafing but stay in your heals) and switch to Cloak immediately after using her aoe healing for better burst dmg (Cloak CANNOT use Dagger’s healing aoe) You can follow this up 1 of 2 ways: Immediately blind Iron Fist and try to burst dmg him with Cloak’s primary fire. This will likely result in him dying or running away. 2. If things aren’t looking good for you, you can still use Dagger’s aoe healing to make sure you don’t die immediately, but instead of trying to fight him you peel away. This can be done by blinding him (One of Cloak’s abilities) and then using his other ability that allows you to become invisible. This paired with his blind can allow you to escape a short distance, this second one does not work all of the time as he will likely still hunt you down, but it worked for me 80% of the games I’ve played against him.
@813Savage3 күн бұрын
Also forgot to mention that Dagger’s dmg is not good for fighting anyone who’s diving you. It works best to pick off heroes who are already low. So try not to fight off the dive as Dagger, do it as Cloak. A long with gaining temporary health on assists and kills, Iron Fist has an ability that gives him damage reduction, keep this in mind while fighting against him with other heroes as well. Iron Fist can also be killed easily by Punisher with his shotgun. Iron Fist’s whole thing is being in your face which is the perfect range for Punisher’s shotgun. A well placed shot can put him below 40% HP or less. The downside to playing punisher against Iron Fist is that Iron Fist’s dmg is a lot more consistent, and so is his survivability. To counter this try aiming for his upper chest area. That way, your shots are constantly taking chunks of his health off (if you’re comfortable enough with your aim then you don’t need to do this) Also I have not currently found a counter to his Ult. The best advice I can give is to just disengage entirely and try to avoid him for the whole duration. Good luck In your next games brother.

I think all of the characters you listed are pretty strong but have counters and are balanced, but the only genuinely overpowered character in the game is Iron Fist. His attacks are like 5x faster than the other Melee DPS characters, he has an absurd lock on, his movement is so insane that he's basically a flying character, and can even use his melee on characters like Storm and Iron Man in the sky, who are the normal counters to melee characters. He also has the most survivability out of any DPS with his self-healing meditation, and his punch burst is an actual tank melter. He genuinely has no counters and can self sustain in the enemy backline for the entire game. The only way you can get him off you is by having a tank harass him, and even then Iron Fist might straight up kill the tank. He's the only character in the game that genuinely needs a nerf.

I think loki is an amazing choice. He has a lot of utility and has a high survivability if played right. His ability makes people inside immune to damage. Making it really useful against ults (counters physiclock's ult from experience and 80% of any ults) his clones makes it hard to kill loki unless loki doesn’t have a clone at the back to tp to or doesn’t have any cooldowns. I think he will start being more noticeable once people start getting the hang of it Edit: Loki isn't supposed to be a main support as most of yall are saying. He can't replace some supports (luna snow, Jeff the landshark, etc) treat him as a off support. Don't forget his potential with his ult is insanely high. To ulting warlock to rez your team if your warlock doesn't have it to copying a different hero to pair ults with your teammates are what make a difference in games. I usually play flanker loki and set up clones to tp back after killing a backline or just dueling with duelist heros (iron fist, spider man, magik, etc) as I said people will understand loki eventually just not now (currently I am in Diamond 3. Which is about above 99.99% in my server (Im in cali). So I am been playing against players who have used their hero's kit to the limits.)

Excellent vid! Man i wish Wolverine was a vanguard. I once had a casual match as him, and got backed by two healers. I was made the defacto tank and it was awesome lol 😆! This obviously wouldn't fly in competitive, but I kinda got a glimpse of what he could've been if he was reworked. I think the in and out bullying style of venom would've been perfect for Wolverine. Especially if his "Undying Animal" ability also gave bounus health.

Rocket is extremely underrated. High healing, a revive ability, great damage up close, and he can give bucky and punisher infinite ammo. His damage at range is poor but he makes up for that with great damage up close and a fast dash.

I love playing Jeff but I honestly think. Good cloak and dagger outclassed Jeff easily. Jeff is still gets picked off easily by an Iron Fist or other fast melee. Cloak can blind and often kill players attacking the backing. Drop heal bubble as dagger then cloak and dps.

Venom actually rewards good aim, his main attack can do 160 dmg if you hit headshots, which isn't unrealistic with his slowing tentacle, meaning a good venom can 2 shot a squishy Also his diving slam also does more damage if you land directly on the enemy And you can perform the dive really quick without the swing if you go up to an wall, run on it for a split second, instantly turn around and jump of it. I would say he is easy to learn, hard to master

The game’s not been out a week. It can take months for meta strategies to emerge, and years for counter strategies to crop up. It’s ridiculous to say anything about the game’s balance so early. Dipshits thought Bastion was overpowered at Overwatch’s release, which is hilarious looking back.

You made a great point about one of the hugest gripes I have with this game: These characters are so busted that if you make a few a mistakes, it doesn't matter, you can easily get kills without thinking- or aiming with some of them. Just throw them out, see them rack up. The most interesting characters are the melee characters and it feels like you are actually punished for finally getting past the barrage and getting up close. Have to pop EVERY cooldown to get kill generally, meanwhile, there's Hawkeye in the back with Shark boy racking up kills with one attack. The game is great fun but the effort for high skill versus low skill is not just night and day it's Summer and Winter - i'd argue some characters should be ranked as 0 star difficulty rating.

Nah I genuinely think Spider-Man needs to be on here. People clown on the guy cause he has low health and he’s difficult to control. But if you learn to control and be quick with him, Spider-Man is a deadly character to play. You move at lightning fast speeds into the battlefield, take out an enemy in a matter of seconds and retreat to regain health. Not even a joke when I say he’s OP, as long as you put in the hours to learn to play with him.

Something important to note on Jeff is that you really don't need to jump off the map with ult as often as you'd think.

Not to mention his super tanky shield that can block a ton of DMG and even ults

What I love about marvel rivals is you can make a case for almost every hero to be at least high tier. Even the weakest heroes in the game have a lot of use cases. Meanwhile in overwatch, you’re pretty much punished for not playing whatever 9 heroes are at the top of the meta, or being a literal god with an out of meta pick. Even the worse hero in the game (Namor) can be good in most area control comps with his kraken turrets

I agree that the Winter Soldier is good, I play him a lot. Other characters you mentioned I haven't really learned/played as much. Personally I think the most overpowered character is punisher. His SMG shoots fast and has good range, his shotgun is deadly at close range, his mounted machine gun can wipe a squan fairly easily, and his ultimate is insanely overpowered. Also his rocket teamup is good as it gives him infinite ammo and he shoots faster for even quicker kills. His only downsides are his low health, which can be solved with a healer, and his sub-par grappling hook, which bounces you off the wall.

More moon knight tips: The ankhs dont just knock people up but they pull them towards the ankh. Ypu can use this to set up your ult or pulling/pushing someone to/away from you. Aiming the grappling hook at the ground and then using it will make you fly up into the air as a kind of super jump that can be better than just aiming at a structure.
