Summary
- Fans want Storm reworked into a full strategist to provide more buffs and healing for team members.
- Other players simply want her buffed to be a better Dualist, removing her slow and floaty feel.
- Developer of Marvel Rivals may not add requested changes like role queue but fans remain enthusiastic about game updates.
Fans of Marvel Rivals have taken to social media to request that Storm either be reworked as a Duelist or completely changed to a Strategist within the game. Marvel Rivals' characters all fall into one of three categories: Duelist, Strategist, or Vanguard. Duelists are meant to dish out damage, Strategists support the team with buffs and healing, and Vanguards occupy the front lines as tanks.
Marvel Rivals recently announced its first upcoming event, Winter Celebration. The trailer showed off five new skins coming to the game, including a winter variant of Venom and a Santa-themed Groot. Players will also be given the opportunity to claim a free winter-themed skin for Jeff the Land Shark in Marvel Rivals, which has already been a big hit with fans. In addition to cosmetics, players will be able to engage in a new game mode where four Jeffs compete to cover the map in colored frost, seemingly taking inspiration from Nintendo's Splatoon series.
Marvel Rivals Announces New Milestone With a Free Cosmetic
Marvel Rivals announces that the hero shooter has reached yet another new milestone and is giving players a free cosmetic to claim.
Redditor HimB0Z0 recently posted a request for the Marvel Rivals hero Storm to be fully reworked into a Strategist. Some players believe Storm should give more buffs to her teammates along with debuffs to her enemies. A boost to these abilities, along with some healing, might make her a very valuable addition to the roster. Currently, Duelists have more characters than any other role, meaning the Strategist role could always use another hero. However, other players believe she just needs to be improved as a Duelist, as many take issue with her slow and floaty movement. They believe Storm should be much faster around the battlefield, like her fellow hero Iron Man. Players have also asked NetEase Games to consider changing Wolverine into a Vanguard within Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals Fans Want Storm Changed to a Strategist
Since Marvel Rivals is still new, it remains to be seen how NetEase Games will respond to this kind of feedback from its community. So far, it seems as if the developer is determined to stick to its vision, even if many players disagree with a decision. The game's director recently said the team has no intention of adding role queue to Marvel Rivals, another major change that has been requested by many players since the title's launch.
While some fans have been critical of the hero shooter, many have been enthusiastic about the game. Players have been eagerly posting their own concept art for Marvel Rivals heroes and speculating over which characters may come next. Leakers have been digging through the game's files for clues, and even found that characters like Blade and The Thing might be on their way. With so much anticipation surrounding the game and its upcoming winter event, it seems like players have a lot to look forward to.
