Marvel Rivals players are raising concerns about Ultron possibly being underpowered. Discover community reactions regarding Ultron's balance and ongoing controversies surrounding Jeff and Thor's adjustments.
Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 Concerns Before Launch
Ultron May Need Buffs
As Marvel Rivals prepares for Season 2.5 featuring Ultron's debut, players worry the formidable Strategist might arrive underpowered. Early access gameplay footage has sparked discussions about potential buffs needed.
Reddit user mrdunklestein analyzed Ultron's performance from preview streams, noting his strong mobility and ultimate healing but highlighting underwhelming drone healing efficiency and weaker ultimate damage compared to Hawkeye's basic attacks.
Community members point out a potential pattern where flying characters launch weaker before receiving buffs, referencing Storm's journey from weak duelist to competitive staple through multiple balance patches.
Community Backlash Over Jeff and Thor Changes
The announced nerfs for Jeff the Land Shark and Thor have generated significant discontent within the player base, particularly given Jeff's already low win rate.
Thor's adjustments reduce his Hammer Throw effectiveness while Jeff receives a comprehensive ability rework that many fear will diminish his viability and unique playstyle.
Petition Grows Against Jeff Changes
A Change.org petition demanding Jeff's rework reversal has surpassed 3,000 signatures, with players arguing his current iteration, while imperfect, offers more engaging gameplay than the proposed changes.
NetEase responded to feedback with clarification videos explaining their design philosophy behind the adjustments, though community skepticism persists ahead of Season 2.5's May 30 launch.
Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay updated with all Marvel Rivals news through our ongoing coverage.
