Marvel Rivals: Players Call for Mobility Buff as Adam Warlock Falls from Meta

Adam Warlock, once a dominant force in Marvel Rivals' beta, has fallen significantly in the meta due to several key limitations. Players are debating whether selecting him now constitutes a disadvantageous team pick.

The main issues plaguing Adam Warlock include:

  • No mobility options in a movement-heavy game
  • Long cooldowns on abilities
  • Power creep from newer Strategist heroes
  • Limited escape mechanisms

Despite having powerful abilities like:

  • AoE healing
  • Damage-sharing link between teammates
  • Self-resurrection ultimate (Karmic Revival)
  • Soul Bond tactical ability

The community suggests several potential improvements:

  • Additional healing charge
  • New mobility ability (possibly flight)
  • Reduced cooldown on Regenerative Cocoon
  • Better movement speed

While not completely unplayable, Adam Warlock requires significantly more effort than other Strategists to achieve similar results. His effectiveness previously relied on synergies with Mantis and Star-Lord, but the meta has evolved beyond these combinations.

Players remain optimistic that targeted buffs could restore Adam Warlock's viability in competitive play. Until then, selecting him in ranked matches may draw skepticism from teammates.
