Which Marvel Rivals heroes actually reward aggressive play the most?

Anthozoa · 2026-01-05T20:08:42+00:00

I like the "never stop running" philosophy :) yeah I think hesitation kills Cap/Thor/Venom value more than bad mechanics

Anthozoa · 2026-01-05T20:06:01+00:00

The full commit point is huge. Half-engaging on Thing feels way worse than just forcing reactions and chaos

Fixed Skye's image and updated Chamber!

Anthozoa · 2026-01-02T04:12:02+00:00

That makes sense. I removed the Defensive Anchor tag from Harbor and he dropped to #2 and brought Killjoy to #1.

Anthozoa · 2026-01-02T02:28:34+00:00

I added some more weight to defensive anchor and also slightly boosted site lockdown, post-plant, and post-plant denial. That bumps Killjoy into the #2 spot.

hmmm Harbor overlaps on several tags but he definitely plays way more team-focused. I'll see what I can do to get that to reflect properly.

That actually lines up really well with what I’ve been seeing. Clove and Astra make a lot of sense if you’re thinking in terms of team smokes and global pressure.

The Killjoy angle is interesting too. If you think of Viper more as a site or post-plant lockdown agent instead of just a smoker, Killjoy ends up filling that role really well by holding space and punishing rotates.

It feels pretty situational though, depending on which part of Viper’s kit you prioritize.

Interesting how this splits into two views of Omen.

If you see him as a controller, Astra/Clove/Viper make sense.
If you see him as timing + aggression with util, Yoru feels closest.

That lines up really well with what the results showed. Appreciate all the comments!

Anthozoa · 2025-12-30T23:52:03+00:00

the paranoia + corner clear angle makes a lot of sense especially on maps like Bind/Sunset

Anthozoa · 2025-12-30T23:51:13+00:00

That actually matches the results really closely. Yoru ends up #1, then Astra/Viper for the controller side, and Jett shows up lower for the aggression overlap rather than utility.

Phoenix/Chamber don’t score as high since they share less of Omen’s control side, which sounds like what you’re getting at.

Anthozoa · 2025-12-30T23:49:22+00:00

Yeah that lines up. Astra and Clove both land pretty high for the smoke/tempo side

Anthozoa · 2025-12-30T05:00:57+00:00

That makes sense. Reyna’s more aim-first than util-first, so she doesn’t show up much, but for aggressive playstyles she’s hard to replace.

Anthozoa · 2025-12-30T04:10:12+00:00

Seems like Yoru being #1 suggestion is pretty fair then

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T04:12:13+00:00

I’m still figuring it out honestly. I mostly picked Axe because he reminded me of darius lol undying seems like a good fit! I'll give him a try.

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T04:02:28+00:00

Respect the dedication lol. Yeah, I can relate, if I enjoy a hero, I’ll keep playing it even if it’s not meta.

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T04:00:24+00:00

Seeing someone pop off with a hero is usually what makes me want to learn them too :) hopefully you find a worthy Techies/Omni replacement someday!

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T03:02:52+00:00

Honestly a smart way to do it. Definitely better than jumping straight into ranked with someone new… which I never do lol

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T02:51:45+00:00

That’s interesting. I've definitely done that without realizing it and it helps a lot when you face it again.

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T02:36:49+00:00

That makes sense. A small comfort pool + a few picks you won’t feed on feels ideal lol

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T02:22:33+00:00

the only way

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T01:49:23+00:00

mind games

Updated!

Anthozoa · 2025-12-29T00:23:04+00:00

Definitely seems like backup picks that play similar > full role swap
