Doctor Strange Teamkilling: A Surprising Winning Strategy in Marvel Rivals?
Channeling your inner Thanos might not be the best approach in most games, but one Overwatch and Marvel Rivals streamer has discovered that accidentally teamkilling with Doctor Strange could be the path to victory.
bogur, known for his exceptional Overwatch skills, discovered a unique mechanic allowing him to fully charge his ultimate before a round even starts in Marvel Rivals.
How Does This Work?
The secret lies in how Doctor Strange’s ult charge is calculated. Unlike other heroes who gain charge from kills, Doctor Strange primarily gains it from healing and shielding teammates. An unexpected bug exploits this system: teamkilling with Doctor Strange gives him the full ult charge from dropping a teammate off the map.
A Game-Breaking Strategy?
In certain game modes like Convoy/Convergence or Domination, this strategy can be particularly potent.
Imagine this: bogur’s team strategically positions themselves near a ledge. With a well-timed ability, Doctor Strange sends all his teammates plummeting to their doom. This instantly charges his ultimate, giving him and his team ample time to swap heroes and enter the round with a fully powered-up Doctor Strange.
More Than a Meme?
While this might seem like a meme strategy, bogur’s discovery could be a genuine game-changer. If ranked or professional play were integrated into Marvel Rivals, we might see Doctor Strange teamkilling employed by high-level players to gain a significant advantage.
What About the Developers?
Given the potential for imbalance, it’s likely that developers will address this bug soon. However, until then, players looking for a unique and potentially effective strategy in Marvel Rivals should consider embracing the dark side with Doctor Strange.
