A new heroine in Marvel Rivals makes a role sexy that few people would normally want to play

Many games have the problem that the role of “supporter” is unpopular. Because many people would rather hit it and cause damage. But in Marvel Rivals, many players report that there are currently too many supporters because everyone wants to play the new heroine. Because you can also play as an attacker.

In Marvel Rivals there is the meta that you usually have teams that consist of two characters of each class: two attackers, tanks and supports. In contrast to Overwatch 2, however, the roles are flexible and can be changed at any time.

But Marvel Rivals also has the problem that the roles of supporter and tank are rather unpopular. Anyone who plays the hero shooter regularly knows that games with 5 “damage dealers” and 1 supporter are not uncommon.

But with the new heroes that came into the game in Season 1, that has changed. Players report that there are currently too many supporters because everyone wants to play “Invisible Woman”.

What is the situation in Marvel Rivals? In a large thread on Reddit, a number of players report that many participants are currently choosing “Invisible Woman”. This is what several players wrote under the post:

  • “As someone who has been forced to take on a support role (which I don’t mind at least), that’s my attitude too. I’ll wait until all the hype around them dies down to try them out.”
  • “I’m a support main, and in 2 of the 3 games I’ve played I’ve actually been forced to play a different role because people instalock supports. I was so confused.”
  • A third added: “The same thing happened to me and I was kind of happy to see such a change until I noticed our Invisible Woman was playing her like a DPS and neglecting healing… It’s like, no matter what role she is play, Instalockers really don’t care about the objective and just hunt for kills while hindering the team.”

    The new heroine is a support but is played like an attacker

    What are the problems? Many people don’t even see the problem in the choice of character, but rather in the fact that, on the one hand, many “pickers” play the heroine as a pure damage dealer: They chase after the kills without caring about their own team.

    So-called Instalockers are also unpopular in the community because they rarely care about communication within the team. By the way, this is not a special feature of Marvel Rivals, but can be found in many games (via Reddit.com).

    In addition, “Invisible Woman” plays more like a hybrid role. While other characters have a strong focus on support abilities, Sue Storm can also deal a lot of damage. This suddenly makes the heroine and support role popular among players who otherwise never play support.

    What’s next? Some players believe that this enthusiasm will quickly die down. Because the heroine is brand new and many people want to try out “Invisible Woman” now. Many in the community are sure that the spook will be over in a few weeks.

    However, some fear that the developers could soften the fixed roles in the game more. Sue Storm is a good example of how a character who officially has a support role can also be played as an attacker. And that would undermine the meaning of the roles in the game in the long term.

    By the way, the new heroine caused another positive surprise – at least for one streamer. Because model and Twitch streamer Aruuu recognized herself in the new heroine “Invisible Woman”. Because the developers reused a part of her body. The streamer is amused by it: Twitch streamer recognizes herself in the new heroine in Marvel Rivals – of all things on the backside
