Summary
- Fans want Storm in Marvel Rivals to get reworked or buffed due to dissatisfaction with her performance.
- Suggestions include changing her role to a Strategist or gain hybrid moves like Cloak and Dagger for more versatility.
- A team-up with Human Torch may improve Storm's damage output, enhancing gameplay synergies.
Marvel Rivals fans took to social media to request that Storm receive some kind of buff or rework in the popular hero shooter. Storm is a fan-favorite X-Men character, and her inclusion in Marvel Rivals had many players excited before launch. While some gamers still applaud her design, they're also unsatisfied with her place in the title's roster.
Storm is a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, which means her primary role is to dish out damage during matches. Currently, she's also what some players call an "aura hero," meaning she provides buffs to teammates within a certain radius of her. Many fans recently suggested that Storm could work as a Strategist in Marvel Rivals, allowing her to both enhance and heal allies during a match. While some fans liked this suggestion, others want her to maintain her role as a Duelist.
Marvel Rivals Leak Reveals New MCU Doctor Strange Skin
A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker reveals a first look at a highly anticipated Doctor Strange skin inspired by one of his iconic MCU costumes.
Redditor Glittering-Yam-5714 posted that Storm should receive some kind of rework or buff, as she currently feels like one of the lowest performing Duelists in the game. They note that, while Hawkeye is able to shoot infinite arrows without hesitation, Storm has to reload her wind abilities the same way The Punisher might reload his gun. The redditor also suggested that Storm is too slow, with other fans saying she is an easy target floating in the air. Some feel she should have flight abilities similar to those of Iron Man. This isn't the first time fans have called for major changes to a character, as many players recently requested that the developers rework Wolverine into a Vanguard in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals Fans Wants Storm to Receive a Buff
One redditor within the comments suggested that she should work similarly to Cloak and Dagger, swapping between a buffing kit and a damage kit. Their rework concept shows Storm adding splash damage to her attacks, which would also be similar to the way Iron Man works. Her moveset would also include additional knockback, moving enemies around the field more easily while occasionally interrupting their abilities. Many fans generally feel that her ultimate ability is sufficiently powerful, so that wouldn't need to change. As the game matures, players are finding various ways NetEase Games could make improvements, such as allowing Bruce Banner to spawn as Hulk in Marvel Rivals.
While some fans are figuring out ways to improve characters within the current roster, others are already looking toward future characters. A leaker recently revealed Human Torch's ability kit in Marvel Rivals, showing that the hero will likely be another Duelist within the game. If the leak is true, he will receive a team-up with Storm, enhancing their abilities as they merge wind and fire to synergize their attacks. While this wouldn't address all the complaints surrounding Storm, many feel the team-up could vastly improve her damage output as a Duelist.
