Summary

Marvel Rivals has completely reworked Jeff the Land Shark, and players who main him aren't happy with all the changes.
Jeff's main damage output has been hit hard, his bubbles have been semi-nerfed, and his ability to hide underwater is now limited.
Fans are understandably frustrated by Jeff's rework, claiming his identity has been lost, and that NetEase has "gutted the character" into yet another healbot.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 kicks off on May 30 next week, and NetEase has been preparing us by s🐭howing off gameplay footage for the next character - Ultron - while also revealing new team-up abilities an🌟d balance changes.

One of the biggest topics to come out of the showcase was what appeared to be a huge rework for Jeff the Land Shark, as whil💝e he did get a rather f꧋un "Jeff-nado" team up with Storm, it appears NetEase isn't a huge fan of how the character is used as a flanke🍒r rather than a traditional healer. It was ⛎spotted that Jeff's main damage source is being changed to a resource that you have to manage, but it turns out the changes were far worse.

Marvel Rivals Fans All Seem To Hate Jeff's Upcoming Rework

, Jeff mains were all doom and gloom about the changes, but now the complaints have multiplied after people have seen just how different the character will play in Season 2.5. For starters, his main healing stream of water will now damage enemies, but he now only has three big ice 🥂blasts at a time, with a 3-second cooldown for each one.

Jeff now only has three bubbles instead of the previous six or seven, and they now do healing over time instead of outright heals, but the biggest change is that Jeff's ability to hide underwater is no longer limitless. Instead, the ability has an energy cap, and Jeff will be forced out of the water when it runs ou🤪t, massively reducing his ability to cause problems in an enemy team's backline.

All of this means Jeff is no longer the DPS/support hybrid that he was in Season 2, and will now become more of a healbot. His ability to dive backlines has been completely kneecapped, and Jeff players are understandably frsutrated with the changes. For example,🐽 a Reddit user called Throwaway-929103 says these changes have "destro𝓰yed an already low tier character".

, and is generally baffled by most of the changes in th🧔e patch notes, called the rework a straight nerf and that NetEase has now "gutted the characte෴r". That being said, we won't know how these changes to Jeff actually feel until Season 2.5 gets here, so here's hoping he hasn't been taken round back and shot.
