Marvel Characters Counter Flyer Enemies in Season 3 with The Thing's Self-Yeeting Ability, targeting Airborne Foes
In the latest instalment of Marvel Rivals, the game developers have made significant changes to The Thing's abilities, aiming to address the dominance of the flyer meta that has been challenging for many players, particularly Vanguard players like The Thing.
The Thing, a stalwart character known for his brute strength, is receiving a new ability in Season 3: Battle Blitz. Essentially, this is an enhanced version of The Thing's existing Embattled Leap skill, but specifically designed for taking down flying enemies. With a targeting distance of 20 meters, The Thing can launch himself directly at an opponent, gaining 25% damage reduction during this leap, making him a formidable force against airborne adversaries.
Another key change is the new effect of The Thing's Stone Haymaker ability. Now, it has the ability to knock down hit flying enemies, making it much easier for The Thing to interrupt and counter airborne opponents.
These updates make The Thing a more formidable force against flying heroes, a problematic meta situation that has been plaguing the game in recent seasons. The developers have hinted that further adjustments targeting this issue may be made in future patches.
In other news, Marvel Rivals is introducing a romance-themed season in its ongoing development. Additionally, a new Duelist, Phoenix, is joining the fray in Season 3. However, it's worth noting that Phoenix's airtime is limited in the current season, and NetEase has confirmed that Iron Man is getting a nerf in Season 3, which may potentially lead to a shift in the flyer meta.
