Reddit discussions surrounding Marvel Rivals, a new contender dubbed the "Overwatch killer," have highlighted significant gameplay issues. A highly-commented thread showcased flawed hit detection, with instances of Spider-Man registering hits on Luna Snow from improbable distances. Further examples revealed inconsistencies where hits visually missed yet still connected. While lag compensation has been suggested as a contributing factor, many believe the core problem stems from inaccurate and inconsistent hitboxes.
Professional players have demonstrated a consistent bias in hit registration, with shots aimed slightly right of the crosshair consistently connecting, while those aimed left often miss. This, combined with reports of multiple characters exhibiting broken hitboxes, points to a broader issue requiring attention.
Despite these concerns, Marvel Rivals' launch has been remarkably successful. Steam saw a peak concurrent player count exceeding 444,000 on its first day—a number comparable to Miami's population. While optimization remains a key concern, particularly for users with lower-end graphics cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050, many players praise the game's enjoyable gameplay and fair monetization. A key differentiator is the non-expiring nature of battle passes, eliminating the pressure of constant grinding often associated with similar titles. This feature alone could significantly impact player perception and retention.
