Marvel Rivals has ruined the love players once had for this iconic hero, and I kind of agree

Marvel Rivals has been a blast to play, for the most part, since it launched in December 2024. But it may have done irreparable damage to one favorite hero for many, and I think for me, too.

The game’s massive roster of heroes and villains is rife with Marvel favorites, but none more beloved than Spider-Man. The iconic wallcrawler is one of the most popular superheroes in the entire world, and he’s far and away my favorite, too. But Marvel Rivals has awoken a hatred for him that I and others don’t know how to deal with.
