Marvel Rivals players recently debated why they think Squirrel Girl, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Storm are the most annoying characters. A few months into the game's release, the Marvel Rivals community already has not only their favorite characters like Doctor Strange and Loki, but also those who leave them with their hands up in the air.
One character who has quickly made a name for himself among players is Jeff the Landshark. The big reason is Jeff's ultimate, which can completely change the course of a Marvel Rivals match due to the huge impact it has, and the difficulty of dealing with it. Another character whose name has become much talked about is Winter Soldier, who became popular because of his powerful ultimate, and the catchphrase “again,” which turned into a meme.
