Why supporting in Marvel Rivals is so hard
First of all, let’s talk about the Support role in general. Why it’s so hard to play and why some heroes can make it easier for you.
- Watch yourself and your teammates. You need to be aware of the health of all your party. It’s a ton of variables to check every second. And the most important thing – you need to stay alive. Some self-healing options are must-have for starters.
- You can’t stay on the frontline. Supports don’t have a lot of HP, so they are vulnerable to enemy DPS heroes. Easy-to-play supports should be able to escape the heat of battle.
- You are the main target for flankers. If you position yourself wrongly, enemy DPS will gladly hit you. Most of them will sneak close to you to focus fire. So again, you need some escape means for survival.
- Support heroes can’t stay on their own. Support heroes often are nothing without their team. If your DPS and tank teammates are not quite here on the skill level, you can’t do much about it.
- You can’t afford to slack. Supports are nothing without their teammates, but vice versa. Even a good team can’t do much if there is no healing and supports are chilling.
- Timing is everything. Many of your abilities are essential for the survival of your team. So you need to charge your ultimate fast and use it in perfect time.
- You need to aim also. Yes. It’s the basic shooter mechanic, but support heroes have a lot on their shoulders besides this. At the start of your journey, the less aiming, the better.
So there are many things to carry about when you’re playing a support character in Marvel Rivals. A perfect Strategist should have some escape options, self-heal, and reliable primary attack. Let’s discuss our top 3 picks.
Top 3 easy-to-play support — Rocket Raccoon
Rocket can be quite self-sustained in the right hands with his offensive primal attack. But this is the hardest part of the gameplay. The easy part is to support. When you shoot healing spheres, they bounce automatically. Damage-boosting ability requires only good placement behind some cover.
Most importantly – Rocket is no easy target for enemies. He can dash forward. He can crawl on walls. His hit box is relatively small to target. So you should stay alive for the majority of the match. In this case your healing, damage boosting, and resurrection abilities will shine.
Melee DPS enemies are your main weakness because they don’t care about your small hit box. Fear them like a fire and save your Jetpack dash for this encounter. Rocket’s primary role is to buff and support, but he is not the greatest healer.
Top 2 easy-to-play support — Luna Snow
Luna is not that good at surviving because she doesn’t have a lot of escape options. Though her healing potential is massive. So you and your allies should stay close to each other.
You need to aim with the primal attack. But it doesn’t matter who you hit. The primal attack deals damage to enemies and heals allies. That’s handy for beginners.
Another great thing about Luna is her self-healing potential, as well as separate target healing with Share the Stage. Use it for your DPS diver teammate. Luna’s most effective ability is, of course, the ultimate Fate of Both Worlds. Most of the time, you should switch it for healing. You and your allies will be almost invincible while the ultimate is active.
Top 1 easy-to-play support — Jeff the Land Shark
Jeff can stay alive forever. This is why he is the best support for a beginner player. Jeff’s hit box is small. He is fast. He has a lot of self-healing and the best escape skill without any cooldown. Even if his healing abilities are less powerful than those of other healers, Jeff’s uptime in battle is at maximum. And uptime in battle is your main goal as a support player.
The hardest thing to master as a Jeff player is the ultimate ability. Its potential is huge, but you have to be smart about using it. It’s all about the right timing.
You can for example:
- Throw enemies out of the cliff, or even jump out of the cliff by yourself
- Save allies in desperate situations
- Remove enemies from key areas in the Overtime
Also Jeff is so cute. And it means the world.
