The 3 MCU Heroes That Marvel Rivals Needs as Purely Flying Vanguards

NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals offers an exciting roster of 35 characters from the Marvel Universe. However, the community feels that it is still not enough. Many popular characters, especially from the MCU, are still missing from the game, and fans believe that it is about time NetEase adds them to the game.

The game features plenty of Duelists, so gamers want NetEase to start focusing on Vanguards and Strategists. A great starting point would be adding these 3 popular characters as Vanguards, but only if NetEase gives them the ability to constantly fly.

NetEase Games must add these three heroes as Vanguards to Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals features some strong Vanguards, however, none of them have the ability to purely fly. A viral post on the r/marvelrivals subreddit has suggested that NetEase Games could introduce Sentry, War Machine, or Captain Marvel as purely flying Vanguards. This sparked a discussion among fans, with many agreeing that these characters would work well in the game.

How would a purely flying Vanguard work? Would they be a viable pick for Tanking?

Vanguards in Marvel Rivals are similar to “Tanks” that players can find in other hero shooter games. Sentry, War Machine, and Captain Marvel have the potential to be at the frontlines with a lot of health. However, giving them the ability to fly would make things unbalanced. The best way to solve this problem is to put a limit on their flying ability.

Plus, all of these characters are quite popular thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. War Machine has been a part of the MCU since the very beginning, Captain Marvel got her own movie in 2019, while Sentry will make his live-action debut in the upcoming film Thunderbolts.

Is Marvel Rivals the best hero shooter?

Marvel Rivals is indeed one of the most popular video games in the world right now, but is it the best game in its genre? It’s hard to say so. The game shares a lot of elements from Blizzard’s Overwatch 2, in fact, it even pushed Blizzard to introduce some features that players have been asking for years. As for Marvel Rivals, the game isn’t flawless as players have pointed out that it is full of mechanical inconsistencies.

On top of this, some players are also ruining the game for others. Like other hero shooters, this game also has instalockers that prevent others from trying out particular heroes. This problem is only growing, to the point where some players are even justifying instalocking characters. Marvel Rivals is indeed an exciting game, however, it still has some drawbacks that are preventing it from wiping out its competition.
