Summary
- Hawkeye and Hela are criticized for being overpowered in Marvel Rivals, forming an unbeatable combo.
- Players call for a Hawkeye nerf to address the issue.
- Concerns arise that the developer prioritizes new heroes instead of improving existing ones.
Marvel Rivals players have flocked to social media to express their extreme disappointment with Hawkeye, stating that he’s overpowered and needs to be nerfed. Players have recently had similar complaints about Hela in Marvel Rivals, especially when talking about her ultimate ability, which allows her to snipe players from the sky with excellent precision and damage. When Hawkeye and Hela are combined, they can make for an unbeatable combo.
Hawkeye acts as a Duelist within the hero shooter, meaning his main role is to dish out as much damage as possible. While he was initially well-received at the game’s launch, players have slowly started to discuss how powerful his ability kit is. His moveset includes a basic ranged attack that he doesn’t have to reload, explosive arrows, and a melee ability that helps him avoid foes. The ranged hero isn’t the only target of player complaints, as fans also feel Jeff the Land Shark’s ultimate ability is overpowered in Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals Fans Are Loving the New Venom Skin
Marvel Rivals players have a lot of praise for the hero shooter’s latest Venom skin, which is only available in the game’s shop for a limited time.
ThrowRAmason recently posted on Reddit about their distaste for Hawkeye, stating that the matches where he is on the opposing team make the game less fun. Another redditor recently pointed out that Hawkeye does 320 headshot damage as a baseline, and 20% more damage with the Seasonal Bonus. Many fans want Marvel Rivals to remove Seasonal Bonuses altogether, but feel Hawkeye is still overpowered without the boost. Part of the problem is that many fans don’t feel there’s a proper way to counter the Duelist, stating that he can shoot arrows from very far away and has tremendous mobility to get out of trouble. This is combined with the fact that his ultimate ability allows him to shoot shadows of where an enemy was instead of having to track their movement in real time.
Marvel Rivals Players Think Haweye Is Overpowered
Hela and Hawkeye have received a lot of criticism from fans, and they have both been the target of hero bans once players reach Diamond rank in the game’s Competitive mode. Because of this, many players feel Marvel Rivals should enable hero bans in all Competitive ranks, as fans think it makes the hero shooter more fun. While some gamers believe NetEase Games will rebalance the roster when it launches Season 1, others are worried that the developer is spending more time expanding the roster instead of improving the heroes already available.
If recent leaks are to be believed, a lot of new heroes may be coming to Marvel Rivals in the near future. A leaker recently revealed the ability kits for both Human Torch and Ultron, suggesting they may be coming to the game with the launch of Season 1. Human Torch is expected to be a Duelist, hurling around fire and creating walls of flame to control enemy movement. Ultron, however, appears to be a Strategist who uses drones to heal allies while simultaneously harming enemies. With so much on the horizon for Marvel Rivals, many players are looking forward to seeing what comes next.
