Players want Marvel Rivals to differentiate Human Torch’s abilities during matches better, as distinguishing an ally from an enemy can be challenging. After being launched with 33 playable characters, Marvel Rivals continues to expand its roster gradually. And the latest additions are two veteran names from the comic book universe.
One of the new characters is the Human Torch, a new Marvel Rivals Duelist who arrived as one of the additions in the second half of Season 1. Johnny Storm is an expert in long-distance combat, with powerful flaming abilities that have created effective combos with other characters to make even more of an impact during matches. To optimize his gameplay even further, Marvel Rivals players call for Human Torch to receive a simple but important adjustment.

Marvel Rivals Leak Hints At Possible Season 2 Theme
A Marvel Rivals leak reveals the potential theme of the second season, leading to speculation about possible upcoming characters.
Reddit user RandomChaosGenerator has asked Marvel Rivals to make a better visual distinction between the abilities of the allied and enemy Human Torch. The comments section promptly reacted to the suggestion, with many players agreeing with the idea, having experienced the same problem as the OP. One commenter pointed out that the enemy Human Torch has redder flames, while the ally has a “typical yellow hue.” However, they and other Reddit users noted that it’s a very subtle distinction to pay attention to during a Marvel Rivals match, given the visually chaotic nature of the game.
Marvel Rivals Players Are Having Trouble Distinguishing Allied and Enemy Human Torch
The lack of a clear differentiation between an ally and an enemy Human Torch isn’t the only reason the community has been talking about the hero. Even before the Human Torch’s debut in Marvel Rivals, players were already showing concern about the character, citing his high mobility and Pyro-Prison ability as the main reasons. With Pyro-Prison, Johnny Storm creates a wall of fire between active Flame Fields, continuously damaging enemies. After its release, players were even more impressed by the synergy between him and Storm, mixing high mobility and damage to create a deadly duo.
While the Human Torch is the game’s new Duelist, players who prefer to be on the front line can play as The Thing, the other addition from the second half of the first season. The Thing is Marvel Rivals‘ new Vanguard, and a simple skill kit gives him a one-star rating. As a result, Benjamin Grim is one of the easiest heroes in the game and one of the least complicated members of The Fantastic Four to master. Meanwhile, the Human Torch, Invisible Woman, and Mister Fantastic have a three-star difficulty rating, which makes them a little trickier to learn.
