Summary
- Marvel Rivals players are calling for Hawkeye and Hela’s damage to be nerfed.
- Complaints about Hawkeye include one-shot headshots and his ability to melt tanks with simple bodyshots.
- Hela is also criticized for dealing excessive damage, while also having options to evade and retreat from players who push her position.
Marvel Rivals is a pretty good hero shooter, all things said, with over 20 million people now given the game a try. It has teething issues, and some people aren’t too fond of the developer’s decision not to have any kind of role queue, and there are no plans to introduce it in the future.
One of the other major issues that players have with the game right now is the sheer power of certain characters. Shortly after launch, players very quickly determined that Iron Fist is an absolute menace (mostly for the Mantis and Luna Snow mains out there), asking for his movement and damage to be nerfed. Now that players have had the game for a couple of weeks, two more Duelists are now in the bad books.
Marvel Rivals Fans Are Calling For Hawkeye And Hela Damage Nerfs
Hawkeye is the main target of Marvel Rivals players at the moment, as a Reddit user called LickerMcBootshine recently posted to the Marvel Rivals subreddit asking whether the community can agree that he needs to be nerfed. Most of the complaints are down to the sheer amount of damage he does, the size of his projectile hitbox, and the fact he “melts tanks with bodyshots”.
A lot of people also aren’t a fan of him being able to one-shot pretty much every character that isn’t a tank with a well-placed headshot. Even an errant arrow meant for another target can accidentally strike the head of an enemy and kill them instantly, as Reddit user Ok-Syrup1678 says that “killing someone at full health is just too much”.

These Marvel Rivals healers have similarities to those in Overwatch.
Hela is also mentioned in this thread quite a few times, as she’s very similar to Hawkeye in that she does a wild amount of damage, and can kill certain characters with just a few hits. A user called Failbears even argues that she’s better than Hawkeye, as “she has options when pushed”, meaning she’s much easier to retreat with thanks to her invincible crow flight.
If you get both Hawkeye and Hela in the same team, then chances are you won’t be surviving for long, tanks will be battered before healers can even react to their damage, and shields from characters like Doctor Strange may as well not even exist. The only proper way to counter them is to pick a Hela or Hawkeye yourself and pray that you’re better. Unfortunately, most of the time you won’t be.
