Summary
In a recent discussion on social media,Marvel Rivalsfans pointed out several issues they have with Scarlet Witch’s ultimate ability.Marvel Rivalsis approaching the middle of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, which has introduced The Fantastic Four to the popular hero shooter. While Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman arrived at the beginning of the season, it’s expected that The Thing and Human Torch will follow in a large mid-season update.
Scarlet Witch is aDuelist inMarvel Rivals, meaning her main objective is to deal damage and eliminate as many foes on the enemy team as possible. The popular hero has the ability to maintain a continuous attack with her primary ability, disappear and reposition during fights, and deal ranged burst damage. Scarlet Witch also has the ability to stun enemies in a small area, which can be used as crowd control on the battlefield. She’s an extremely powerful character, and her ultimate ability has the potential to wipe out entire teams if used strategically.
In a recent post on Reddit, onikatanyamaraaj stated that Scarlet Witch’s ultimate, Reality Erasure, is “designed to fail.” To support this argument, they pointed out several weaknesses. When the ability is activated, Scarlet Witch begins to yell and a red exclamation point appears, alerting the enemy team to impending danger. This makes it difficult to be sneaky, as foes can easily track the hero’s movements, even in the middle of a chaotic situation. Furthermore, Scarlet Witch remains susceptible to stuns and other crowd control attacks, allowing her to be interrupted easily. She also doesn’t receive any bonus health or shields when performing Reality Erasure, which stands in stark contrast to heroes like Hela and Winter Soldier, who receive buffs when using their ultimate. In addition, heroes likeMarvel Rivals’Doctor Strangeand Magneto also have the ability to nullify the attack with their shield abilities.
Marvel Rivals Players Want Scarlet Witch’s Ultimate Buffed
Other fans were quick to agree, pointing out that they have also experienced a lot of difficulty using the attack successfully, especially as the community has discovered many ways to counter Reality Erasure. As a solution, some players suggested that she should always team up withMagneto inMarvel Rivals, as he has the ability to place a protective bubble on her during the ultimate. While this wouldn’t stop enemies from shielding themselves or avoiding the attack, it would prevent Scarlet Witch from being killed or crowd controlled.
Several heroes have come under scrutiny lately, such asMarvel Rivals' Moon Knight. As of writing, a large portion of the community believes the hero’s ultimate ability is bugged, causing it to deal double damage. While it remains to be seen how NetEase Games will respond to such feedback, many fans seem hopeful that the developers will make appropriate changes in future patches.
