Fans react hilariously to Marvel Rivals leak revealing Hela and Hawkeye nerfs in Season 1—‘No. I’m a Hawkeye main!’

Season 1 of the hit team-based PvP shooter game, Marvel Rivals, is almost here. NetEase just announced that the first season will launch on January 10, bringing an expanded roster to the game with the introduction of all four superheroes from The Fantastic Four. However, some leaks recently surfaced which came as an unpleasant surprise to fans.

According to the leaks, the game will undergo its first balance adjustments, with some characters being either buffed or nerfed. Wolverine will get a buff, while Hela and Hawkeye will be nerfed. These leaks have especially disappointed players who primarily used the soon-to-be-nerfed characters.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Fans of the game cursed their fate after discovering that their favorite characters were about to be nerfed. Let's check out some of the funniest fan reactions to the nerfs on the internet.

The Hawkeye mains

The leaks came as bad news for players like this, who were using Hawkeye as their main character. A moment of silence!

The underwhelming Storm

This user hilariously thought Storm got nerfed, too, when in reality, she's just considered one of the weakest playable characters in the game by the player base. So it's not you friend, it's her.

Hela mains having a hella fail

This video humorously captures what players who chose Hela must be doing after hearing about the leaks, given how overpowered she was.

Why stop at nerfing?

It seems nerfing a character like Hawkeye isn't enough, considering how he one-shots opponents, according to this user.

Finally some relief

Many users have been pleased with the decision to nerf the two characters, as they were wreaking havoc in the game. So, if you recently heard your neighbor letting out an evil laugh, this was probably the reason.

Justified nerfs

Well, if someone is dominating the game with a character on their first try, it might be safe to credit just how broken the character is. So it looks like Hawkeye was a walking, talking cheat code.

The balance adjustment leaks have left players divided. Still, all the upset gamers now have even more reason to win with the newly nerfed characters - because, after all, a true superhero never gives up, no matter the adversity.
