Black Widow has just received a brand new Mrs. Barnes skin, but that is not something that would improve her dying pick rates in the game. NetEase needs to make that agent better by buffing some of her abilities and balancing her out compared to other duelists out there.
Black Widow in Marvel Rivals has not been having a great time at the moment; playing Widow, especially in higher ranks, is bound to be a disaster since she is not capable of taking on battles on her own. She sure can escape from compromising positions, but she is vulnerable during the entire duration of the escape.
Some buffs for Black Widow could be good
NetEase needs to buff Widow a little if it wants to keep her relevant for a long time. If the developer does not act fast, then there is a high chance she will be forgotten and disappear within no time.
Her ult feels like it could do more; she could have better accuracy, and she could also become invulnerable to damage for a brief two seconds while escaping using her speed jumps. Although this might end up making her way too strong, still, NetEase needs to start somewhere; that is how it will reach a middle ground eventually.
Giving players skins will not impact a character’s pick rate, especially when the character is not playable only. Black Widow has a lot of scope to be a lot better than she currently is.
Her ability to take the high ground and keep switching positions while sniping at the enemy line is extremely beneficial to the team; however, her melee combat is not that great, and once spotted, the enemy team can slice her to pieces by engaging in closed combat. Marvel Rivals has been having a great run at the market, but it needs to constantly come up with fixes and updates to stay relevant in the long run.
Black Widow might soon lose all relevance in Marvel Rivals
If NetEase does not do anything about the dying relevance of Black Widow, then she might fall victim to lack of attention and be forgotten for a long time. She could and should be explored in various other ways since she has such great potential to make a difference in the game. Marvel Rivals deserve a better Black Widow.
Black Widow players need to be extremely good at aiming. If you are not someone who has spent a fair amount of time playing FPS titles, this character might not be the right choice for you.
However, Black Widow, as good as she might be in long-range combat, her melee abilities bottleneck the overall package. The battle is not always fair; you can’t always dictate things on your terms; things go wrong, plans fail, and one’s got to adapt; Widow is just not good at adapting currently. She needs more variety. Do you feel the same way? Let us know in the comments below.
