Marvel Rivals' Latest Skins Draw Concerns Over Competitive Disadvantages

Marvel Rivals' latest store update features two stunning but potentially problematic character skins: Storm's Goddess of Thunder and Loki's Presidential Attire costumes.
Storm's Legendary skin, inspired by the 1970 X-Men Annual where she wielded Thor's hammer Mjolnir, comes with unique sound effects and costs 2,200 Credits. However, players have noted that her enlarged head and helm may make her more visible to opponents, potentially creating a competitive disadvantage.

Loki's Presidential skin, based on Vote Loki #1 (2016), has encountered technical issues. Popular streamer shroud discovered that the skin's MVP animation causes OBS Studio broadcasting software to disconnect repeatedly. While this appears to be an isolated incident possibly related to hardware configuration, it's worth noting for content creators.
Despite these concerns, both skins remain visually impressive additions to the game. Players should weigh the potential competitive impact against the aesthetic appeal when deciding whether to purchase.
