Marvel Rivals players question Ultron's power

The Marvel Rivals community is buzzing with discussions about Ultron's potential power deficit. Dive into player concerns surrounding Ultron and the heated debates about recent adjustments to Jeff and Thor.

Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 Concerns Before Launch

Ultron May Need Buffs

As Season 2.5 approaches, introducing Ultron as a new Strategist, players worry the mechanical menace might launch in an underwhelming state. Early footage suggests he could require immediate improvements.

A Redditor analyzing preview gameplay noted Ultron boasts excellent mobility and range damage, but his drones' healing barely surpasses practice bot damage output. His shielding capability appears limited, and his Ultimate reportedly hits weaker than Hawkeye's basic attack.

Community members speculate this mirrors past patterns - flying characters often debut underpowered before receiving buffs. Heroes like Storm followed this trajectory, transforming from weak duelists to competitive staples through successive improvements.

While concerns stem from preview footage, only the official release will reveal Ultron's true capabilities. Players eagerly anticipate testing him when Season 2.5 launches imminently.

Community Reacts to Jeff and Thor Changes

Recent balance patch notes sparked outrage when revealing nerfs for Jeff and Thor. Players argued these unpopular changes targeted characters without existing balance complaints.

The adjustments substantially weakened Thor's Hammer Throw while reducing his defensive capabilities. Meanwhile, Jeff's complete ability rework alarmed fans, particularly concerning given his already bottom-tier win rate.

NetEase responded with explanatory videos showcasing the revised mechanics, emphasizing Thor's extended Awakened Rune state and Jeff's new damage-healing hybrid potential. Whether these explanations satisfy players remains uncertain until the update goes live.

Jeff Main Rebellion Gains Momentum

The beloved aquatic character's changes ignited unprecedented community backlash. A Change.org petition demanding Jeff's rework reversal has amassed thousands of signatures.

Jeff mains argue his current fun-oriented gameplay will vanish, replaced by generic healing mechanics. With Season 2.5 dropping May 30, players anxiously await seeing whether developer responses adequately address community concerns.
