Summary
- Marvel Rivals fans are struggling to tell bubbles apart, a problem made worse by the recent introduction of the Invisible Woman.
- Thor, Cloak & Dagger, and Sue Storm, all have bubble domes that they throw out, each one with a different purpose, and fans can barely tell which is which.
- Suggested solutions such as adding lightning effects to Thor’s bubble, or changing the color of Cloak 7 Dagger’s bubble to green since it’s the only one the heals.
Marvel Rivals is undeniably a visual spectacle, but its vibrant action-packed gameplay is starting to reveal some clarity issues. With attacks, explosions, and multiple Spider-Men darting across the screen, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to distinguish finer details. This has led to some confusion, such as players mistaking Invisible Woman for Cloak & Dagger due to their similar appearances.
Adding to the problem is the Invisible Woman’s latest addition to the battlefield, which introduces another layer of visual overlap. Now, three characters feature nearly identical blue bubble effects in their abilities, despite serving entirely different purposes. Invisible Woman’s bubble slows down enemies, Thor’s bubble recharges his Thorforce, and Cloak & Dagger’s bubble heals allies inside. This lack of distinction is making it harder for players to quickly recognize and react to these abilities during gameplay.
Marvel Rivals Fans Want Cloak & Dagger’s Bubble To Look Different
One major issue with these bubbles is the lack of clear visual distinction, which has been causing significant confusion during matches. A Reddit user, Sudden-Substance-568, highlighted this problem in a post on the Marvel Rivals subreddit earlier today, expressing frustration over players mistakenly leaving their bubble while using Cloak & Dagger.
The problem persists even outside the chaos of battle—it’s nearly impossible to differentiate between the bubbles at a glance. For example, many players, including myself, have fallen into the trap of mistaking a Thor bubble for a Cloak & Dagger bubble, only to be swiftly eliminated by the enemy team. The lack of clarity makes gameplay unnecessarily frustrating and could use immediate attention.
Players in the community have shared creative ideas to improve the visual clarity of abilities in the game. For instance, a user named PastelWraith suggested adding a lightning crackle effect to Thor’s bubble to match his theme. Similarly, _Comicallycluttered proposed changing the bubble’s color to yellow to align with Thor’s iconic lightning motif. Others recommended making Cloak & Dagger’s bubble green to signify its healing properties, setting it apart visually.
It’s a change many hope NetEase will consider in future updates, much like the adjustments made with the Hawkeye and Hela nerfs. On a related note, players (myself included) have called for a nerf to Moon Knight, citing concerns about the overwhelming power of his ultimate ability and the speed at which he regains it, which can feel unbalanced in the current meta.
