Strategist ain’t easy in Rivals

The Healer’s Nightmare: From Hubris to Horror It starts the way every gaming argument does: I’m playing Vanguard, holding the frontline, and screaming my lungs out for heals. Fed up with my "useless" Strategist, I pull the ultimate “Fine, I’ll do it myself” and swap roles to show them how it’s done. But the moment I step into the squishy healer's shoes, the cinematic tone flips into straight survival horror. Looking across the battlefield, the enemy team—Punisher, Hulk, Mr. Fantastic, and Wolverine—aren't just Marvel characters anymore. Through a healer’s eyes, they morph into terrifying, unstoppable monsters barreling right at me. It’s a 50-second cinematic journey from arrogant Vanguard to a terrified Strategist who instantly regrets every life choice.
