Dueling ‘Marvel Rivals’ Tier Lists Emerge For Season 1.5
The dust has settled on the release of Marvel Rivals season 1.5, and with it comes the inevitable flood of tier lists from various players and outlets. As expected, opinions are as divided as ever, but one thing is certain – we’re now in a position to see what the community at large thinks about each character.
For those who may have missed it, Marvel Rivals has just launched its season 1.5 update, which brought with it a plethora of changes that have shaken up the meta game in a significant way. It’s only natural, then, that we’d start to see tier lists emerge as players begin to adapt to these changes.
In a surprising turn of events, B0gur has released their take on the matter, which paints a very different picture compared to MarveRivals.gg and Mobalytics.gg. PCGamesN also chimed in with their own list, further muddying the waters.
Looking at the data, we see some clear trends emerge. For one, Black Widow appears to be struggling mightily, and it’s clear that no amount of buffs can save her from her current fate. Another character who finds themselves in the doghouse is Jeff – a bottom-tier healer, for all intents and purposes.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fantastic seems to be a non-factor in competitive play, with even mild buffs failing to turn his fortunes around. Iron Fist, too, has failed to impress, leaving many wondering if this hero is no longer viable as a pick.
On the other hand, it’s clear that some characters have taken on new life with the season 1.5 changes. Doctor Strange has emerged as a top-tier tank, while Namor and Rocket Raccoon have become staples of competitive play thanks to their impressive performances in recent times. Wolverine, meanwhile, is now a force to be reckoned with after receiving buffs.
In terms of mid-tier characters, Human Torch seems to be stuck somewhere in between – not bad enough to be avoided entirely, but not good enough to justify a pick at this time.
The release of these tier lists comes as no surprise given the sheer number of changes that have taken place. With the addition of new heroes like Human Torch and The Thing, it’s only natural that opinions would diverge on how best to approach each character.
In conclusion, one thing is certain – Marvel Rivals season 1.5 has brought about a significant shift in the meta game.
