Season One: Eternal Night Falls has been live for a few days now, and it seems getting a healer is no longer a monumental task, as everyone wants to play the newest Strategist hero.
Season one brought a massive amount of new content, but the healer mains seem to be struggling to lock in as their favorite Strategist due to Invisible Woman's popularity.
Glittering-Yam-5719 took to Reddit to discuss their solution to the insta-locking Susan Storm issue they had, and while it might not be the best strategy, it does help them lock in a spot as healer. Prior to the launch of Season one, players noted in the Reddit thread that getting teammates to want to play heals was nearly impossible, so they ended up maining Strategist themselves to solve the problem.
Now, they are forced to DPS or Tank with lesser skill than others, and it is becoming a major issue for them. Susan Storm, also known as Invisible Woman, does have a great toolkit to utilize, as she is great at burst heals and throwing out pretty consistent damage. The issue here lies with fans having to choose DPS heroes, also known as Duelists, rather than their preferred healer heroes.
Commentor Resident-Pain-494 states,Several comments share the same sentiment, as AmericaPie24 says, Marvel Rivals has just reached yet another major milestone, as the hero-shooter has hit one of the largest concurrent player counts of all time. While some fans are annoyed with this new trend, several players are fine with the new role choice, so long as the player actually knows what they are doing and heals their team.
