Players of Marvel Rivals are currently grappling with a significant issue reminiscent of the challenges that have long plagued Overwatch players. A recent trending discussion on the Marvel Rivals subreddit highlights frustrations among Strategist players who share the reasons behind the lack of healing for their teammates.
Many complaints seem valid; for instance, damage-dealing (DPS) characters sometimes stray too far out of a healer’s line of sight, or a Strategist may be momentarily out of action during respawn. However, this is not new for Overwatch players, who see parallels to their own experiences when the game initially launched. This parallel was brought to light by a viral thread from their community, indicating a shared struggle between the two gaming communities.
The Common Dilemmas of Healing
Interestingly, the format of these discussions mirrors one that emerged within the Overwatch community approximately three years ago, where healers were frequently criticized by teammates for not providing sufficient healing. This ongoing complaint appears to resonate across both gaming titles.
As one Reddit user humorously noted, “It’s amusing to watch their community engage in the same discussions we’ve had for years.”This evokes the infamous scene featuring James Franco, pondering if this is a “first-time”occurrence for the Marvel community regarding healing complaints.
Following this, additional threads emerged, humorously citing various reasons for not receiving healing—such as the healer’s aim being off for specific characters like Luna Snow and Invisible Woman, who require precision with their healing abilities.
Moreover, the trajectory of Marvel Rivals appears to be echoing that of Overwatch’s evolution, particularly with discussions surrounding a meta that features multiple support characters—a configuration frequently compared to Overwatch’s notorious “GOATS” meta.

One user even posed a rhetorical question about when Marvel Rivals would also be deemed “dead”by the community, humorously suggesting that this could happen within the next five to six months, reflecting on the parallel downward trajectory of the two games.
Regardless of your allegiance to either Marvel Rivals or Overwatch, it’s clear that healers across both titles are confronting similar challenges. This shared experience can foster a sense of community among players. If healing issues persist, players might consider employing the polarizing triple support composition as a strategy to improve their chances of victory.
