The Thing from Marvel Comics was added to NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals recently, and he quickly proved himself to be one of the strongest Vanguard heroes in the game. However, to get the most out of this hero, players need to work with their teammates, which can be a tough task in some ranked games.
The Thing’s Embattled Leap ability allows him to apply damage reduction to himself as well as his teammate, which is certainly a useful ability on the battlefield. However, some ranked players, especially the ones in the Bronze league, have complained that this ability is useless because teammates refuse to push in.
Some Marvel Rivals players believe that this one ability of The Thing is useless
The Thing is one of the most popular heroes among the Marvel Rivals community right now, but his Embattled Leap ability is being labeled as useless by ranked players. This ability allows The Thing to take a leap towards any teammate to give himself and the teammate damage reduction, but it is almost impossible to team up with players who push forward at the same time.
The Thing is extremely useless if your team refuses to push up with you

So, this ability is rarely used in matches, making it quite useless. It will only work if you have teammates with whom you can coordinate your attacks. The hero is quite strong, but the game is all about teamwork. One shouldn’t expect The Thing to rush in to do everything alone, so the first instinct should be assisting the hero on the battlefield.
It’s not just the teammates, but many The Thing players also don’t understand how to use the hero’s abilities. Once again, instalockers are ruining the game, but NetEase has made it clear that nothing will be done to solve this problem.
Does The Thing need a nerf?
Most Marvel Rivals players are satisfied with The Thing’s abilities. However, a small section of players believe that the hero’s Stone Haymaker ability needs a nerf. This ability allows the hero to deliver a devastating punch that inflicts a lot of damage. So, players have suggested that a 2-3 second cool down on this ability would make things much more balanced.
Players face this problem with not only The Thing but also other Vanguards in the game. These heroes are capable of taking a lot of damage to allow other heroes to push, but if the teammates refuse to push, then it becomes quite pointless. Players need to understand the different types of classes in the game and the roles they must play when they are on the battlefield. The game is all about teamwork, so there’s no need to rush in alone to get the most kills.
