Despite NetEase’s promise that Marvel Rivals will get a few new heroes each half of a season, some gamers nonetheless assume there are too many Duelists in comparison with the quantity of Vanguards and Strategists on provide. There’s no signal of this being solved simply but, so within the meantime, one participant has determined to take issues into their very own arms.
“We want extra Vanguards, so I made one,” Wickedcube says. The new Vanguard idea is for Doctor Octopus, however we do not simply have a top level view of how the character would act within the sport. Instead, Wickedcube has offered an in depth video explainer.

The idea video demonstrates how Doc Ock would use his tentacles to maneuver across the map, utilizing them to not solely cross over the bottom but additionally climb across the partitions, much like Venom and Spider-Man’s passive talents. There are additionally some tough outlines of the sorts of talents this hero might have.
There’s Havoc Claw, which might simply entail Doc Ock hitting enemy gamers along with his tentacles, Wrecking Grip, which might enable him to select up particles and launch it at enemy gamers, Cephalopod Dash, which simply gives elevated motion pace, and Tentacle Aegis, which lets Doc use his additional arms as a short lived defend. All of which means that Doc Ock will at the very least have the fundamentals to make him a very good Vanguard: respectable mobility, a defend, and a buttload of well being.
Finally, for his final (Wrath of the Master), Doc Ock would use his tentacles to seize enemy gamers inside a detailed radius and hit them into the ground repeatedly. It might look goofy, however this final has the potential to be probably the most deadly Vanguard ultimates at the moment within the sport. So far, the scariest Vanguard ult I’ve come throughout must be Magneto’s. Meteor M can puncture via help ults like Luna Snow’s and Cloak and Dagger’s whereas additionally defending him from incoming hearth because the steel meteor eats up bullets and projectiles like an enormous magnet. But aside from this, quite a lot of Vanguard ults are extra annoying than harmful. Venom and Thor solely actually work in a small space and are efficient if gamers are already low on well being, whereas Doctor Strange wants a good quantity of prep to drag it off successfully.
But no matter how good this idea of Vanguard Doc Ock seems, it is fairly unlikely that he’ll be added to the sport. I’m not saying Doc Ock is on the checklist of heroes who’ll by no means make it into Marvel Rivals however the devs have just lately mentioned they are not trying to tease any extra heroes proper now. Instead, they’d simply slightly deal with addressing present points and duties, like how they’ve made the strongest Duelist within the sport much more highly effective because of a ridiculous team-up.
