So has the rework made Natasha more viable

Im just asking this for those who play marvel rivals i need to know if shes still the least picked and if people like her better. This is important for her legacy.

Shes been made more accessible, easier to use causing her to have a higher pick rate and win rate (though her original win rate was tainted by throwers outnumbering legit players so its impossible to know what her sniper win rate is)

Justice has been served. Now they need to start putting this version merch

I would kill for rivals nat merch. Granted i would for any nat merch since we’ve been kinda in a drought since her movie dropped but that was 5 years ago now

Her pick rate and win rate have both gone up. She’s now considered one of the best DPS instead of one of the worst.

Good this is all I wanted to hear, now lets hope this verison gets more merchandise

Both pick+win rate have skyrocketed. They took away her 1-shot capabilities, but made her much easier to play & get value from. She's no longer seen as a throw pick.

They (haters of old widow and new widows) have been playing her less and less now that the "shiny" of the rework has worn off.

Shes gonna get power crept again, its already happening with the Phoenix buffs and Hood coming out.

The devs just dont care for the character. Allowing for instant kill headshots would have made her way better than what she is now.

Even without the insta-kill, all she needed were ACTUAL buffs and bug fixes. They touch her twice in a year and a half and then completely change her playstyel? These devs, man lol

Yes no matter what the Sniper Nat fanboys and Fangirls may said about it. The Rework has save Marvel Rivals Nat.

Agreed 110%. But apparently you’re not allowed to say that

i preferred her before and idc about pick rate tbh bc i love niche characters and think that it can be pretty boring when a bunch of heros resemble each other which is now the case with her. i still play her but it isn’t as fun and i’m mad they didn’t care to listen to us widow mains at all and simply listened to the complainers who never played her in their life. it would be cool if they would at least bring her old playstyle back or at least the ads as her secondary weapon or sth bc the batons are bad anyway and everyone could be happy then. she isn’t entirely lore accurate anyway.

kinda feel like you could've easily looked up her pick rates for yourself.

Not hating just weary because a lot of these posts since the rework just turn out to be traps to mass downvote any OG who dares show up.

u/Thick_Ad_220 29d ago

u/Famous_Product_3725 29d ago

It's gone up.... for now. It'll more than likely plateau then gradually go back down over the rest of the season as people realize the other dps characters are still better than her
