In the dynamic world of Marvel Rivals, certain characters stand out for their overwhelming power, leaving many players grappling for strategies to counter them effectively. Among these formidable figures, one character consistently draws complaints and frustration: Hawkeye.
Players have recounted frightening experiences, such as Jeff the Land Shark executing devastating team wipes or Iron Fist dominating the battlefield with his disruptive capabilities. Yet, it is Hawkeye who has emerged as a persistent source of irritation for players, particularly due to his impressive long-range attack proficiency.
Players Frustrated with Hawkeye’s One-Shot Kills
As a Duelist, Hawkeye’s abilities are chiefly centered on delivering long-range damage. His charged attacks can annihilate fragile heroes before they even get the chance to react. This potential for one-shot kills is what makes him a such a formidable opponent.
To exacerbate the situation, his ultimate ability allows him to effectively take aim at afterimages of foes that remain stationary, ensuring he can inflict maximum damage. Even attempts to escape his reach often result in players sustaining damage due to his skill set.

A recent discussion on Reddit vividly illustrates this frustration, showcasing players strategizing in a bid to mitigate Hawkeye’s impact. One participant lamented, “As a dive tank, he is incredibly annoying to harass or eliminate. If you don’t pay attention to him, he dismantles your team, but if you do, he simply heals up and continues spamming arrows. The headshot mechanic and charged one-shot kills are simply insane.”
Another user echoed similar sentiments, stating, “I’m so tired of this a******. You can miss five shots in a row, hit a single lucky headshot, and suddenly win the match for your team.”
Even those utilizing agile characters like flanking heroes are finding it difficult to contend with him. A player shared, “I relish the thought of facing Hawkeye as Spider-Man, but surprise! He’s fully healed before my uppercut animation completes and one-shot kills me mid-air.”
This escalation of frustration has led to reports of Hawkeye smurfs surfacing in lower ranks; one commenter noted, “These players get banned in Diamond and above, so they’ve turned to terrorizing the lower lobbies.”
Currently classified as an S-tier hero, those interested in mastering Hawkeye should be keen to learn effective strategies to maximize his impact in matches.
