A high-ranked Overwatch streamer returned to Blizzard’s hero shooter after playing 350 hours of Marvel Rivals and had some big concerns.

One of the biggest streamers of the past ten years, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has weighed in about the latest multiplayer shooter tearing up the charts, Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals might suffer a fate worse than Concord if it doesn't fix four technical issues that I've been plaguing the title since its release.

Marvel Rivals may be taking the spotlight from Overwatch 2, but this conflict may save Overwatch in the long run.

As one of the latest additions to the hero-shooter genre, Marvel Rivals is comparable to Overwatch 2 in many ways, particularly its ultimate lines.

While a majority of this announcement was centered around previous patches made to OW2, the developers did tease some changes in the form of a 6v6 ranked playtest. They are “not ready to swap the core format of the game,” so they are testing out 6v6 for a limited time during the middle of the next season.

However, Marvel Rivals was then released on December 5, and according to Steam DB the average Overwatch 2 player count for December was 25,248, a drop of 21.7%. SteamDB also notes that in the past 30 days (i.e. January to date), the average has been 19,745, a further 21.8% drop.
