Ninja angry with players who do not change heroes in Marvel Rivals

Ninja recently criticized players for not swapping characters mid-game. He went off on stream right after losing a match, which he stated they could have won if some of his teammates decided to swap to other heroes after being countered.

Frankly, this has been a persistent issue in the game faced by many players. Some are adamant enough to stick to their favorite characters even when they are being hard-countered leading to eventual defeat.

This led to many players joining in on the conversation through a post on X by @RivalsAssembled. Most of them agreed to the fact that being versatile and being able to switch to a different hero should be an essential part of learning the game.

User @reaperreapzz said that if a hero on a team was getting hard-countered and it was not switched, the game felt like a 5v6. They said:

"I agree with him. If your character is getting hard countered and you only know how to play that one character, the game starts to feel like a 5v6 etc. Being able to counter the enemy team comp makes matches feel a lot easier"

Another user called @Kreeped replied that he agreed with Ninja 100%. They further went on to add that learning multiple heroes was the key to winning and that every player should know how to play at least three characters from each class. They commented:

"Ninja is 100% right about this. If you have melee heroes and you won't change because you "like wolverine,"....You're the problem. Learn how to play MULTIPLE heroes....Be great with at least 3 heroes from eveey class. You'll be a way better player, and you'll move up in rank."

Considering Marvel Rivals is a role-based game, many content creators had also previously stated that it was essential to learn at least two to three heroes from each class to be the most valuable to your team.
