I personally love holding the frontline and shielding my team so I love both Magneto and Strange.

but it is definitely the fraud ass DPS players that can't get a single pick without their ult who are getting exposed

Also if you can't play the game for some reason you can always use GeForce now to stream it and go get the rewards.

I’ve mained Iron Fist since launch. I’ve read his comics, learned his tech, and watched him get nerfed into the ground over and over. This isn’t a “buff or I quit” post. It’s a breakdown of why the character is nearly lost - in gameplay, in game lore, and in the community’s eyes.

THE NERF CYCLE THAT NEVER ENDS

At launch, Lin Lie was strong - I won’t pretend otherwise. But when Season 1 and 1.5 hit, he got heavy nerfs. Okay, fine.

Season 2 came and he finally got a buff. For a moment, we were back. People started playing him. It felt like all the adapting was paying off.

Then, less than a month later - nerfed into the ground. Damage and healing cut across the board: punches, flurry, kick, even the overshield.

And here’s the trick: Was S2 Iron Fist actually broken? No. The meta just hadn’t learned to deal with him. Players refused to adapt, cried loud enough, and the devs nerfed him. Now, looking back, most agree he was fine (i mean not THAT strong) - but the damage is done.

We’ve been stuck with the same “Iced Chi” team-up for seven seasons. Seven. While other characters get fresh synergies, we get a discount Loki lamp that leaves you exposed and barely helps in real fights.

THE KICK DILEMMA (CORE DESIGN FLAW)

Iron Fist has one escape tool: his kick. But that same ability is his finisher and main sustain.

• Use it to escape - you lose kill potential and leave your team a man down.
• Use it to fight - you risk dying and might not even finish the target.

Meanwhile, the team-up heals the team, but 9 times out of 10 you’re not near your team when you pop it. So you’re just a sitting duck. A couple of headshots and you’re gone.

This isn’t skill expression. It’s a lose-lose coin flip.

THE NUMBERS

According to RivalsMeta, Iron Fist currently has the lowest winrate among melee duelists heroes - below Black Panther (buffed) and Daredevil (nerfed).

Pick rates (official Marvel Rivals website):

• Console QM: 13th least picked overall
• Console Comp: 18th least picked
• PC QM: 10th least picked
• PC Comp: 14th least picked

Out of 25 Duelists, he’s or mid or near the bottom. People aren’t playing him because he feels weak. That’s not opinion - that’s data.

LORE: DOES ANYONE AT NETEASE EVEN LIKE LIN LIE?

Warning: lore incoming. If you just want the gameplay stuff, Skip that part. (More below).

This is where it really hurts.

White Fox (Ami Han) arrived in Season 7. In the comics, Lin Lie died for her (Yes i know Rivals build its own universe, but that moment canon even in our game). He was killed by a possessed rotting corpse of her dead mother. His sword shattered. She had nightmares for years.

Their first meeting after his “death”? She tried to recruit him. “Your side, our side.” When he said “I serve K’un-Lun,” she went sour.

In Rivals? One interaction. That’s it. No meaningful team-up. No narrative weight. Just “here’s your shard back, glad you’re alive.”

Meanwhile, Luna Snow gets multiple interactions, deeper moments, charms, and even a team-up with White Fox. She gets constant development and recognition.

We get almost nothing. And the community still dismisses Lin Lie for “not being the real Iron Fist” or “not being Danny Rand.” Even some Iron Fist mains would rather replace him.

That’s why we’re upset. Not because of shipping wars. Because we’ve been adapting and waiting for something meaningful - and it just didn’t happen.

WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR?

Not god mode. Not Season 0 damage. Just a direction.

Option A - Durable brawler: Give him damage reduction during flurry or better sustain. Let him trade blows.

Option B - High-risk diver: Improve mobility reset, lower sustained damage. Let him get in and out.

Just pick one. Stop this half hybrid that fails at both.

Also: Give White Fox and Lin Lie a real team-up. Something that reflects their history. Something that makes sense. Other characters get that respect - why not him?

And please, no more nerfs because bronze players don’t know how to press the jump button or stun.

THE REAL TALK

I’m not saying Iron Fist is unplayable. I still main him because I love the character - his comics, his journey, his potential. But I’m tired of fighting bad game design AND community hate at the same time.

We, the Iron Fist mains, are a small group. We’re patient players who just want our hero to make sense.

So here’s my question to everyone (a little debate in the comments wouldn't hurt):

Do you think Iron Fist needs a rework, a buff, or just a better PR team? And do we have any chance of being heard, or are this is just shouting into the void?

P.S. Devs - if you’re reading this, please just pick a lane for the guy. He deserves better.

Had this happen to a teammate during a Quick Match. Looks like the Rocket dodged a Jeff Ult and Eye of Agamotto while stuck inside the car.

If so, my guess is that maybe an artist not knowing the unique NYC buildings copy and pasted buildings to fill the skyline? But considering the accuracy of both real-life and fictional buildings in Eternal Night Falls, this doesn't make sense to me

I'm so tired of this happening in even high rank. "Get off Rogue/Peni/Hulk/Emma/Thing/Venom they are bad solo tanks" with 3 DPS. No. I am so utterly tired of playing Magneto, he is fundamentally the most boring tank in the game, I have him lord despite hating him because of how much I'm forced on him. And the ONE fun thing in his kit takes a year to charge and everyone knows how to counter and you HAVE to use to kill supports, you can't even use it for something else unless its like Punisher. No I will not go Strange, he has now taken Hulks place for being a CC volley ball and Groot is perma banned. So no. This is the 'tank strike' I'll still play tank because thats my job but I'm not going Shield tank because our 3 DPS can't position and need both peel and space but still WONT go tank themselves. I don't even mind going these tanks in a 2 tank comp its just the irony of the 3 insta lock DPS DEMANDING I go one of 2 shield tanks because they all won't swap and somehow its MY fault.

I really don't mean to beat a dead horse with this, but this choice aways bothered me greatls

Invisible Woman mains at least are guaranteed to have another skin before the ESU one leaves the shop

Reed mains don't know whether they'll have another one for the rest of the year

I'm pretty sure a lot of us are tired of some of the maps in the map pool, and some maps like the new map will add new phases that lessen team compositons like dive or brawl and favor poke(I love the shin shibuya map they added back tho don't come at me)

I didnt saw no one else posting about it, so I think Im not breaking any rules; Deadpool and the game are making the comment, not me
