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
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
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
@@callmejacob33Scarlett witch and iron man’s counter is punisher. Basically everyone else gets countered by iron fist at close range unless they fly, at that point, use punisher.
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
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)
No joke, I tried Wolverine and yeah he was kinda bleh, then a Hulk threw me and it was actually really good - For extra context, When Wolverine uses his jump he gains a massive attack speed bonus, Hulk throwing you also gives it, so if anything it means he gets a second jump charge in the hands of Hulk
17:12 "I loved all those time sin the original Avengers movies when Black Widow used her iconic sniper rifle. Very obvious rip off of Overwatch." Black Widow uses snipers a good amount in the comics, which where a majority of this game is pulling it's inspo from, kinda obvious.
That's what makes a game fun. Like borderlands. Nerfing things in borderlands made no damn sense, but, then again, most of borderlands 3 didn't make sense.
honestly just each game use a different hero and try to pick them based on the map/mode, like penny parker and squirrel girl are really good on point capture maps, and characters like iron fist and black panther are fantastic for push maps

@@CouldbedumberOW died because they abandoned their game to make a sequel that was worse in every way. They made playing tank absolutely miserable and played favorites with characters (cough) kiriko (cough)
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.
Every character is annoying to fight but its balanced out by the fact that once you become annoying to fight it feels great. (Except for scarlet witch, i hope her and her players rot in punishment.)
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
See whenever I see wolverine do his leap I kinda wish it was like a hunter pounce from left for dead. Make you go into first person and charge it up or something. and for gods sake remove that stupid range limit for it, it feels weird to go for like 1 second and then drop like a log. Guess it makes sense because he's a heavy man but feels bad
I saw a discussion complaining about Jeff’s ult and I just said: “Skill issue, the sound Que is hella loud and pretty much every character has some sort of mobility ability so just spread out when you hear it.”
To be fair, they actually do a great job not overkitting any heroes, all the strong heroes have distinct weaknesses. They don't have any hero who is just good in every scenario.
I just hope the devs learn from other hero shooters and not gut the heroes with nerfs on the long run. Some adjustments here and there are fine but let's not forget how balancing became a nightmare in other titles when they started adding more and more characters.
I saw the title and Wolverine on the thumbnail and thought “oh god it was really just me 😭” but just got to the bit where you all agreed he was bad so I feel better. He’s def tricky but I was playing him a lot and i feel he NEEDS his passive to reset on death
That game is good. I have a few complaints about heros that are just too overturned but my major one is Rocket. He is way to underpowered. Every other support hero does it better than him. He sucks at healing l, damage, and even the revive machine. He needs to get get an overall buff to meet the other characters.
For now... Every hero used to overpowered in Overwatch. But the try hards complained and got stuff changed overtime. The same thing might happen to this game.

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.

@@hihigocat Like, I get that Venom has to be in everything but Carnage is such an infinitely more interesting choice especially since Venom's been good since, like, the late 90s? Early 2000s? He's got more interesting powers than Venom which means more interesting gameplay. But yes, Goblin and Ock would be great to see! I personally would love to see Shocker and Mysterio, as well, since they'd fit in well and have really unique looks.
The game just came out man. At least give it some time heck I actually appreciate that they didn't flood the roster with just one particular characters rogues gallery. Like we have wolverine but no Saber tooth they will all not doubt be added over time.
@@nightmarearcade2663 They added ZERO Spider-Man villains. That's not asking them to fill the roster, that's asking for a single character. As someone who is a big fan of his villains, it's lame and disheartening. They'd rather add a hundred boring hero characters than one villain.
But again the game just came out at least give it some time to add these characters. And even then Spiderman isn't the only character who doesn't have a member of his rogues gallery in the roster.
