Marvel Rivals absolutely set the world on fire when it debuted in December 2024, and it has managed to keep players engaged in the weeks since launch. Much of its success can be attributed to all it has learned from its hero shooter peers, as the game was able to launch after titles like Overwatch spent years on the market. Thanks to this advantageous position,Marvel Rivals has been able to dodge some of the biggest mistakes made by Overwatch 2, even if it does seem to be making one of its smaller ones.
