What is going on??
Why has Wanda been getting so many nothing-burger buffs that address none of her core issues? Her neutral is weak, her ultimate is the most situational in-game and easily countered by a majority of the roster, and she has never ever had a meta. She is a launch character who has been arguably the worst DPS since release.
She is clearly selling skins as she has 5 legendaries and 4 recolors so what is with the utter neglect in the balance changes? Would it not be in Netease's favor to make her good to pump up even more demand for her skins? And I reject the argument that she cannot be good because she is easy to pick up when characters like Cloak and Thing have been running the game for ages.
If by some twisted turn of fate that is truly the reason the devs chose to keep both of her arms tied behind her back for 2 years... WHY THE SCARLET WITCH?? Why is one of the most powerful characters in Marvel history the sacrifical lamb of Marvel Rivals? How could they possibly think to reduce the Scarlet Witch to a vacuum cleaner? It doesn't even track with the voicelines in-game, everytime all the other characters constantly comment on Wanda's immense power I have to look around and ask, "Where is it?".
Where is the alleged power fantasy that this game has promised to prioritize above all else? Why has this character been dead for 10 seasons for the sake of balance? This is NOT the Scarlet Witch, and they have definitively failed in bringing her to life in Marvel Rivals. The people who play her and the character herself deserve so much more than this. Know that at any given point the devs could waive their hand and give Wanda her meta, and that they are certainly capable of doing so if they wished but they simply wont. And to that extent they have done this game and this chatacter a disservice.
