You can use various heroes to counter Star-Lord in Marvel Rivals. Peter Quill is a Duelist-class playable character in the hero shooter and can be a massive roadblock when engaging in close-combat encounters with him. His signature elemental guns and jet boots make him a difficult target to hit: however, it doesn't mean that the leader of the prominent Guardians is unkillable.

5 heroes you can use to counter Star-Lord in Marvel Rivals
1) Hawkeye
As mentioned, Star-Lord is a great short-to-medium-range hero, as movement dashes and quick-firing guns make it easy for him to jump in the action, annihilate his enemies at point-blank range, and tap out. One of the best ways to counter Star-Lord is to equip another character that does equal or more damage to him at close range or choose a long-range character.
Trending
Hawkeye is one such hero. The bow-wielding superhero can be extremely deadly if you can consistently hit precise shots with him. While he doesn't have sniping capabilities, he can still be good at long enough ranges, where you can dispatch the hovering captain before he zeroes in on you. His Hunter's Sight Ultimate also allows you to deal damage without tackling his quick reflexes.
2) Doctor Strange
Star-Lord has the Stellar Shift ability, which works as a short, quick dash. This makes him mechanically similar to Tracer from Overwatch, and just as frustrating. He has two max charges for this ability, each with a relatively quick cooldown. As such, choose a character, such as Doctor Strange, who can block damage and also deal it in a close area of effect to counter Star-Lord.
Doctor Strange's Shield of Seraphim can protect him against a good chunk of damage, making him more resistant to Quill's barrage, along with his huge health pool. His Maelstorm of Madness ability can deal built-up dark damage on nearby enemies, allowing you to swat off Star-Lord with relative ease.
3) Black Widow
Star-Lord's Elemental Guns are also a weapon to look out for. They essentially function as dual-wielded Submachine guns, which deal decent damage, but have a really fast rate of fire. While its recoil and range can be a massive setback, a player with good tracking can adapt to it to produce a hero who can be frustrating to fight against.
A long-range specialist players can use to counter Star-Lord is Black Widow. The Duelist-class sniper can use her Red Room rifle to pick off enemies from afar. Her long focal length can also negate the quick movements of Star-Lord if the player has good tracking. However, if Quill does close in on her, she can still use her Stun Batons to fight against him.
4) Squirrel Girl
Star-Lord also has a few more moves in his arsenal. Whether it be using his Blaster Barrage to deal a substantial amount of damage to nearby enemies, or his Galactic Legend Ultimate to free-fly and pick off enemies with the temporary aimbot. While these are strong abilities, they prohibit him from using his other movement abilities, which allows someone to knock him down.
Squirrel Girl is a great duelist-class choice you can use to counter Star-Lord. Her burst acorns provide explosive damage in a small area of effect, similar to Junkrat from Overwatch. You can use the Tail Bounce to dash away from a sudden barrage from him while hitting her Squirrel Blockade to temporarily immobilize him.
5) Luna Snow
While players should usually opt for Vanguard or Duelist classes to counter Star-Lord in this Marvel-themed hero shooter, there are also strategist characters they can use to deal with the titular leader. To balance the lack of good offensive output, strategists are usually given abilities that proc status effects to their target.
Luna Snow is a healer character you can use to counter Star-Lord. Her Absolute Zero attack can immobilize an enemy if it hits, while also healing her. During this phase, she can transition into using Ice Arts to wallop Quill. Her Smooth Skate passive also makes her a hard target to hit if you keep her moving constantly.
