Marvel Rivals devs have accidentally buffed Storm into a tornado-yeeting monster that everyone is picking, and no-one knows how to counter: 'A clustered group is a snack for us'
Storm is one of the many Duelists in Marvel Rivals, but despite her cool design and neat abilities, she wasn't really anyone's first choice in Season 0. It wasn't that she was particularly weak; there were just a ton of better choices, like Winter Soldier, Punisher, Star-Lord, and Iron Fist. So to remedy this and make the weather witch more enticing, NetEase gave her a huge buff, and in doing so, has created a monster.
As part of the Season 1 hero changes, Storm got an overall increase in her damage capability, Bolt Rush's damage increased from 70 to 80, her left click damage was upped from 50 to 55, and Wind Blade's projectile speed went from 100m/s to 150m/s. So she can now do a hell of a lot of damage, which is scary enough, but then there's her ability to damage boost her entire team, as well as the fact that she has one of the scariest ultimates in the game.
Most of the time, when I hear, «Feel the wrath of the goddess!» I just close my eyes and accept my fate as a raging tornado comes barreling towards me. You see, I'm almost always playing strategist, and so when I hear the voice line for an ult that can quickly target a player in the backline, I know that it's heading my way.
Because Storm was hardly ever picked in Season 0, I didn't get a great deal of practice in countering her ult. Right now, all I'm doing to try and survive an incoming tornado is save my own ultimate in hopes that the healing output will be enough to protect me and a couple of other teammates if I'm lucky. But if I don't have an ultimate to use, I just run off to a dark corner and pray that she won't find me, or if she does, I'll be her only victim. It's not much, but it's all I have right now.
Unfortunately, I can't just ignore this issue and hope no one on the other team picks Storm because someone will; they always do. In fact, Storm is the most picked hero so far in Season 1. According to rivalsmeta, she has a pick rate of 57.31% and sits up in S-tier alongside Rocket Raccoon, who
