Summary
- Some Marvel Rivals players believe that Magneto's ultimate ability, Meteor M, is bugged.
- A new video shows the attack passing through an enemy target without dealing any damage.
- Players are hoping that NetEase Games will issue a hotfix to address the problem.
One Marvel Rivals fan recently shared a video of Magneto's ultimate ability, Meteor M, passing through an enemy, suggesting the attack is bugged. Marvel Rivals is currently in the middle of its second major event, Spring Festival, in which players can engage in special challenges to earn a variety of rewards, including a free skin for Star-Lord. The event debuted with a new game mode called Clash of Dancing Lions, allowing players to engage in some superpowered soccer to claim victory.
Magneto is one of Marvel Rivals' Vanguards, which means players often put him on the front line to shield teammates from damage while pushing a convoy or capturing a point. The hero has the ability to conjure a forward-facing shield that blocks incoming projectiles, and he can even place a bubble on himself or an ally to mitigate damage. His ultimate, Meteor M, is unique, as it sucks up nearby projectiles, enhancing the attack's potency before launching it at a nearby enemy. It can be a powerful counter to Punisher or Star-Lord's ultimate abilities when timed properly.
No Damage Marvel Rivals Ranked Run Ends in Disaster
After reaching Grandmaster rank as Rocket Raccoon, one player's no damage run comes to an incredibly disappointing end in Marvel Rivals.
In a recent post on Reddit, Wet_Birthday_Card shared a video in which Magneto uses Meteor M in Marvel Rivals, and it seems to pass through an enemy target without dealing any damage. When looking at the gameplay, many fans seemed to reach the conclusion that the ability is bugged, making it unreliable when aiming at a foe. Some players claim that, when using the hero's ultimate, they often aim at the ground near a target instead of at the enemy themselves, citing that this has helped them hit more consistently. Others expressed relief, as they believed they were consistently missing with the attack due to poor aim.
Marvel Rivals Players Think Meteor M Is Bugged
Now that the issue has been uncovered, many fans are hoping NetEase Games will issue a hotfix to correct the issue. Unfortunately, some players believe they may have to wait a while to see any kind of improvement, as the developer has yet to fix Moon Knight's bugged ultimate in Marvel Rivals, which appears to deal double damage to enemies. However, there's always the possibility that these issues could be fixed sooner than gamers think.
This isn't the first time people have discussed one of the mutant's abilities, as many fans feel Magneto shouldn't have to reload in Marvel Rivals. The hero's primary attack, Iron Volley, has a slow rate of fire and deals variable damage based on the position of the player and their target. Some gamers believe that, since the attack is so slow, it would make sense for it to be continuous instead of stopping to reload. While there's no way of knowing how NetEase Games will respond to this kind of feedback, many fans are hopeful that the developer will continue to refine the game's balance over time.
