Human Torch Already Has Marvel Rivals Players Calling for a Nerf

In a seemingly unprecedented situation, hyper-engaged Marvel Rivals players are already calling for a nerf to Human Torch's high-flying, flame-slinging abilities, despite the character not even being added to the game until tomorrow, 21st February, alongside Ben "The Thing" Grimm.

Even if you are entirely unfamiliar with NetEase's extremely popular game (which just laid off the US arm of its development team), it's not hard to see why some are concerned (thanks, IGN). In addition to a high degree of mobility and damage-dealing potential, Jonny Storm will be able to lock off large areas with his Pyro Prison ability, inflicting constant, ticking damage to anyone inside. See for yourself in the clip below:

Further, Human Torch, when paired with Storm of the X-Men, will be able to create a gigantic, flaming tornado. Add to that the ability to fly, which is just one of the reasons Iron Man is so feared, has players predicting that nerfs and competitive bans for the hapless member of The Fantastic Four are all but assured.

What do you think of Jonny Storm's chances of making it more than a week without some kind of nerf, even if just a performative one? Wreath your entire body in flames in the comments section below.
