Dueling ‘Marvel Rivals’ Tier Lists Emerge For Season 1.5
The launch of Marvel Rivals season 1.5 has sparked a flurry of tier lists from various players and outlets, pitting different rankings against each other in a battle for supremacy. As the dust settles on the new season, it’s become clear that certain characters have emerged as top performers, while others have taken a nosedive.
First off, let’s examine the S Tier lists from B0gur, MarveRivals.gg, and PCGamesN. At the very pinnacle of the rankings, Doctor Strange, Groot, Magneto, Iron Man, Namor, Wolverine, Cloak and Dagger, Invisible Woman, Loki, Rocket Raccoon, Mantis, Hela, Star-Lord, Punisher, Adam Warlock, and Moon Knight are consistently ranked as top performers.
Next in line is the A Tier crowd, comprising characters like Moon Knight, Psylocke, Adam Warlock, Venom, Iron Fist, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Peni Parker, Human Torch, Hulk, Magik, Captain America, Spider-Man, and Scarlet Witch. The sheer number of top-tier characters suggests a game in which balance issues have created an incredibly competitive environment.
Moving on to the B Tier, we see names like Squirrel Girl, Captain America, The Thing, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, and Jeff the Land Shark struggling to find their footing. It’s become clear that Black Widow is unable to be buffed enough to save her life, a stark contrast to other characters like Doctor Strange who have seen significant boosts in performance.
The C Tier lists, meanwhile, are dominated by underwhelming performances from characters like Mr. Fantastic, Spider-Man, and Iron Fist, further emphasizing the stark differences in balance between top-tier and bottom-tier characters. Even Scarlet Witch and Squirrel Girl, while not entirely useless, seem to be missing their mark.
Looking at these dueling tier lists, one takeaway stands out: Black Widow cannot be buffed enough to save her from being a low-tier character, while Jeff the Land Shark has become a weak healer in the eyes of many players. Mr. Fantastic is also struggling to find relevance as a duelist. On the other hand, certain characters have taken significant strides, including Wolverine who has transformed into a serious threat and Namor whose performance has increased.
Rocket Raccoon’s continued dominance as a top-tier healer further solidifies its position in this season of Marvel Rivals. While some players may be disappointed to see their favorite character relegated to the lower tiers, it is essential to remember that these rankings are subject to change as more data emerges and balance issues are addressed.
As the discussion continues around Marvel Rivals, one thing is clear: certain characters have emerged as top performers, while others have fallen by the wayside. What do you think? Are you surprised or unsurprised by the current state of play? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
