Marvel's greatest victory is as gentle as important

Second Marvel was announced, comparison with Overwatch have always been inevitable. And as soon as the game has finally come out and the audience saw how similar Marvel and Overwatch 2 It was clear that Nethease would not avoid the similarities that two games shared. Characters like Black Widow, Hawkeye, Black Panther and Loki All of the Non -Similarities Overwatch The counterparts of the widow, Hanzo, Genja and Echo to name at least some.

Despite the fact that both games are obviously competitors, it is still a lot of love in both titles. Overwatch and MarvelFor all their similarities, they still offer a unique game experience with the characters of different skill ceilings that reward the clocks that pour into them. Yet there is one area where Rivals“It seems that developers have a Blizzard directly beaten, despite years of experience in driving and creating their own shooter: Balance of heroes.

Marvel Rivals' Hellfire Gala Season can't miss one golden opportunity

Nethease's takeover of Marvel Universe's biggest night has so far created a great season 2, but it is hard to shake the feeling that it could be more.

Marvel rivals new heroes are totally balanced because they should be all things

Marvel rivals release almost perfectly balanced heroes from get-go

Rivals Only a few short months have released, but the developers in Netaas have already released one, not two, not three, but five other heroes, while the sixth in May, when Ultron arrives in the game as a playable strategist. This is an almost unprecedented cadence edition for characters in the scorers of heroes, especially compared to Overwatchthat releases one hero every three months. But even more impressive than the Netease release plan is a state in which these heroes are released.

Emma Frost, a thing, a human torch, an invisible woman and a fantastic mister, was released in relatively balanced states. So far, none of the new heroes has been massively overwhelmed, meta -shaken events. They released, filled their own unique playing niches and eventually improved the variety of Comp. This is a direct contrast to the majority OverwatchOver the years, there are accessories of the hero. Like Soyourn, Ana, Echo, and especially Brigitte, they dominated the game on their relevant editions. In many cases, these characters are still peak Overwatch Lists of hero level. Brigitte and the meta formed around her were so strong that many fans still show her release when the health of the game has changed to worse.

NETEASE has the advantage of backward view to avoid incorrect steps overwatch

Makes sense that Nethease is a little more sensible with the balance of the hero Marvel. Developers have the advantage of backward view. Were able to look at the road Overwatch It has been for the last nine years: maximum, minimum, triumphs and especially mistakes. Netheas seems to have been able to avoid that Overwatch.

When Overwatch He came out, Blizzard was not a stranger of walking on a bench that is the balance of games. Starcraft, World of Warcraftand even Hearthstone They all had reserved teams that made sure their balance was under control of the flight before the world knew who was the tracer. But the genre of heroic shooters was a brand new soil for society, which explains why growing pains were so predominant in terms of maintenance Overwatch Heroes under control and balance. While Marvel It is still a new game in itself, Netaas has the advantage of looking for an overwatch life cycle.

Nethease can maintain its hot strip by releasing the balanced heroes

It will be a challenge for Netheas to maintain the level of quality that has come true until now. The team in the foreseeable future promised the cadence to release about one hero per month. Keeping all these characters not only balanced, but balanced to their relevant start, will be a monumental task. The release of Ultron next month will be another Mettle Neteas test. Players still have to see any metal threat shots, but Ultron's escape abilities could indicate a massively strong hybrid character of the PCB/Support, which is a really dangerous combination if it is not properly balanced.

But this hot strip is still one of the best tools in Marvel rivalTo date. Whenever new heroes come out, the game has a revival of hype; Players are returning to experience a new hero. If the heroes are balance, it encourages returning players to stick to and enjoy the game. Brigitte, who would blow out every match, would be for new/returning players, except for a slow split patience of a reserved fanbase, a huge shutdown for new/returning players. Maintaining these new heroes balanced at the start is a huge win for Marvel;; We hope it will stay that way.
