NetEase Games’ upcoming team-based game, Marvel Rivals, shows a lot of promise. It blends age-old gameplay mechanics with a fresh roster of characters well-known to Marvel fans.
In doing so, it gives each character a unique set of skills along with a personality that distinguishes them from the rest. However, certain characters require more precision and aim compared to others, and the community agrees that one character is going to feel simpler for those not big on aiming.
Not Good at Aiming? Here’s the Character You Should Play
In an appreciation post, user Pliskin14 on Reddit pointed out how they main Magik and they feels much simpler compared to other heroes in the game. The player usually prefers to play tank or support in such games, and Magik strikes that kind of balance.
According to their experience, Magik feels easy to use thanks to her heavy (despite slow) attacks that require little to no aiming. Moreover, her portal abilities help her quickly maneuver behind enemies, often helping the player flank and take enemies by surprise.
As an old gamer, I just want to thank the devs for Magik

This is great news for everyone who might have been a bit skeptical about jumping into Marvel Rivals thinking it’s a competitive PvP title that’s not meant for casual players.
Seems like Marvel Rivals is trying to offer everyone a chance to enjoy its gameplay, regardless of a player’s unique playstyle.
Marvel Rivals’ Diverse Roster Makes It Accessible
Deciding which character is the best for you can be a little tricky, as the game has over 23 playable characters. If you’re a Marvel fan, you’re in for a treat, as most of these characters have been previously portrayed through different mediums.
NetEase is making sure that every character feels true to their comic book origins and sets themselves apart in the arena. This makes the game accessible to people coming from different games.
Even if you’re someone who has played a game like Overwatch in the past, the characters will feel distinct thanks to their unique personalities. Although the game modes may feel a bit similar since they’re built on familiar foundations.
While many of these characters feel simple to play at first, the learning curve is likely steep, and Marvel Rivals seems to show the promise of being a top competitor in the live-service PvP market.
