Summary

Marvel Rivals is undergoing what the community is calling a "support strike", as many support players are ditching the role due to how powerful the dive meta is.
Players and streamers are venting about how difficult it is to stay alive as a support character right now, along with a lack of players peeling for divers.
The new ranked points system is also under fire for seemingly rewarding good support players less than good DPS and tanks. No surprise that support isn't particularly enticing right now.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel Rivals players have just about gotten used to the balance changes in Season 2, and they've discovered that it's pretty bad news if you're a support player. Already suffocating dive characters like 🐼Black Panther, Psylocke, Magik, and Spider-Man haven't been touched, while Iron Fist has been pumped with buffs so much that he's now unkillable in the right hands.

To make matters worse, support characters like Loki, Adam Warlock, and Roꦗcket Raccoon have had big hits to their survivability with cooldown nerfs, so trying to stay alive 🅘as a support character right now is fairly frustrating. This isn't even mentioning some of the more relentless dive tank⛄s out there, like Captain America and Venom.

It's rough as a support player right now, and it appears to be contributing to what players are calling a "support strike", as many claim to be experiencing less support players in their matches recently. One particular post on the Marvel Rivals subreddit about this topic has been gai🌄ning a bit of heat, as a user called Revolutionary-Ad6480 calls for "basic respect" for support players.

Marvel Rivals Fans Are Going On "Support Strike" Over Dive Characters

Issues raised by this post include DPS and tanks not peeling for their support players whenever an enemy is in the backline, the ever-so-reliable complaints about players b🦋laming their supports for not healing them, . They're not new complaints, but they seem to have increased recently due to how powerful the dive meta is on consoles and in lower ranks.

On top 💃of that, a lot of support players have also been , with support players getting less now that the amount is determined by individual performances. It appears as though the system rewards damage and final blows th🅠e most, so supports are now spending games getting harassed by divers constantly, and not being rewarded as much as the rest of the team, even if they win. Kind of makes sense why you might not want to play the role.

Of course, Marvel Rivals is such a massive game that an online call for a "support strike" will only go so far, and most people will probably be completely unaffected by even a well-coordinated strike. It is an indication that dive is far too suffocating and overwhelming for people to dꦯeal with right now, and if NetEase doesn't do something about it soon, we may see people look to other games instead.
