Another crowd-favorite tactic is the “Thor Railgun,” a powerful combo involving Thor and Doctor Strange. In this strategy, Strange creates a portal on the ground that Thor dives into with his ult to deal devastating damage. And things like this are why the game is so great. As one commenter put it, “These combos with Strange’s teleport always bring a smile to my face.”

The current meta in Marvel Rivals heavily favors the creative use of hero abilities. Doctor Strange’s portals have become a centerpiece for inventive plays, earning him a solid spot in competitive matches. And his ability to also aid his team through his shields has given him a firm spot in the meta.

With how much fun players are having, Marvel Rivals is not slowing down soon

With a solid roster of 35 heroes, the addition of new characters like Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman has only made it better. NetEase Games has also confirmed that we will be getting a new character every six weeks for the foreseeable future. As long as the meta is balanced, we just want to have more fun playing as our favorite characters!

The success of Marvel Rivals shows how important it is to deliver a polished game in the current state of the gaming industry. It also represents the convergence of gaming and pop culture. The seamless integration of Marvel Comics lore, coupled with the innovative implementation of character abilities and gameplay is simply excellent.

As long as NetEase keeps doing what it’s doing, there’s no reason to believe that the game will slow down any time soon. It’s already blown any and all competition out of the water, Overwatch 2 included. And everyone is loving it.
