Summary
Marvel Rivalsplayers continue to be vexed by Jeff the Land Shark’s ultimate ability more than two weeks after the hero shooter’s launch. Jeff the Land Shark is proving to be one of the more popularMarvel Rivalsheroes, but for opponents who have to go up against him, he’s still causing problems.
From the time of the game’s launch, players have been complaining aboutJeff the Land Shark’s overpowered ultimate ability, which is titled “It’s Jeff!” Activating this ability causes Jeff to swim around in a whirlpool, temporarily gobbling up any opposing players in his vicinity. Some Jeff players quickly developed a strategy that can potentially wipe out an entire team, as the land shark jumps off the edge of the game’s map, taking any other characters he’s swallowed into oblivion with him.
While the ultimate move gives players an easy way to rack up kills, many players facing off against Jeff feel it’s unfairly powerful, and for some, it’s ruining the fun factor ofMarvel Rivals. One big complaint centers aroundJeff’s ultimate ability’s hitbox, as its graphical representation creates a whirlpool on the ground, but the ability actually creates an invisible cylinder that can suck in opponents flying in the sky above it — a feature that some players would like NetEase Games to change. While ultimate abilities are intended to be powerful enough to shift momentum to one team’s favor, Jeff’s also leaves opposing players unable to do anything for several seconds, and they’re not amused.
Jeff’s Ultimate is Still Ruining Marvel Rivals Fans' Experiences
Some players have offered fresh suggestions that could help tostop Jeff’s ultimate ability’s unfairly devastating effects. One player has suggested forcing Jeff to remain larger after activating the ability, making it harder for him to avoid incoming ranged attacks. Another suggested a stacking debuff that would decrease Jeff’s movement speed cumulatively for every opponent that he’s carrying inside of him.
Since evenMarvel Rivalscharacters who can flyare having big problems avoiding the pull of Jeff’s ultimate, some skilled players have been hard at work developing counter-strategies using a number of different heroes on the roster. One trick that’s been growing in popularity is to have one Jeff interrupt the other Jeff’s ultimate, swallowing both the other shark and the teammates inside that shark, then spitting those teammates to safety. While there are a number of ways to avoid or interrupt the ultimate, one effective way to avoid losing multiple team members to it is to use Cloak’s Dark Teleportation ability to phase them into the Darkforce Dimension, safe from the effects of enemy attacks.
