Nerf Hawkeye!!!!

Okay, guys, I have to talk about this. I've been playing Marvel Rivals a lot lately, and honestly, the state of Hawkeye is just baffling me. Like, seriously, when did Clint Barton become the most overpowered character in a superhero game? I mean, we all know him as the 'weakest Avenger,' right? He's the guy with the bow and arrow, incredibly skilled, sure, but not exactly a planet-buster. So why is he out here with a '99 overall' rating, one-shotting everyone on the map? It feels completely out of character and, frankly, it's breaking the game experience for me and a lot of others. I saw someone mention in a match, 'who the fuck is he one-shotting,' and honestly, that's exactly how I feel! He's supposed to be a precision marksman, not a god-tier nuker. It’s wild because you have heavy hitters like Hulk, who's supposedly sitting at a '67 overall,' getting absolutely stomped by an archer. No disrespect to Hawkeye fans, but this just doesn't make sense from a lore perspective or a gameplay balance perspective. This isn't just about Hawkeye, though. This touches on a bigger issue with game balance, which makes me think about searching for 'nerf prospect' or similar discussions online. When certain characters become so overwhelmingly dominant, it makes other choices feel irrelevant. It sucks the fun out of trying different strategies or playing your favorite heroes if they can't even compete. It's a common thing in competitive games; developers introduce a new character or buff an existing one, and suddenly, the meta is completely thrown off. It makes you wonder about the testing process and if the creators of Marvel Rivals are listening to player feedback. And speaking of strange choices, can we just briefly talk about 'Jeff the shark' being in the game before some other iconic Marvel characters? Like, no shade to Jeff, he's great in his own way, but it just adds to the feeling that some decisions are a bit... out there. It makes you question the priorities when the core roster feels so unbalanced. Ultimately, I think a significant 'nerf Hawkeye' is absolutely essential for the health of Marvel Rivals. It’s not about making him useless; it's about making him fair and true to his character, allowing for more diverse and enjoyable gameplay. What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone else experienced this frustration, or do you think his current power level is justified? Let's discuss!
