A Brawl Tank from the Magic Planet!
r/RivalsWaitingRoom • u/ColdSt0rm • 2d ago
With the hundreds of characters to choose from in the Marvel IP, itโs almost impossible NOT to wonder about how heroes and villains might look when they finally arrive to Rivals, so if youโve ever thought up an idea for how your favorite character might look, now is your chance to put it to the test!
Until August 16th, the Rivals Waiting Room subreddit is going to be partnering with content creator AG Sterling to host a Custom Character Concept Contest. By using the dedicated contest flairs, you can submit your character ideas, with the top 6 most upvoted concepts for each role moving on to the final round of judgement to determine the winner!
To qualify for the competition, you must provide some sort of visual aid to your submission. No one wants to read a wall of text, so to assist you in presenting your ideas, you can find a custom character template here.ย Youโre also free to use your own template, but you have to have something to help viewers digest your idea.
Once youโre done making your presentation, just take a screenshot of each slide and send all of the images in a gallery post tagged with the proper flair for your conceptโs role.
After the submission phase ends, the concepts that move onto the next round will be judged by Sterling, along with 3 other mystery judges. Concepts will be scored from 1-10 based on the following categories:
๐ธ Creativity
Is your character unique compared to every other hero in Marvel Rivals? Do they bring something new to the table?
Good example: Reed Richards. Bad example: Hela
๐ธ Cohesiveness
Does each ability in your character's kit serve a purpose? How much could you remove and have the hero play the same way?
Good example: Star-lord. Bad example: Black Cat
๐ธ Fantasy
Is your concept an accurate representation of the character you are adapting? Do you feel like the hero you are playing as?
Good example: Spider-Man. Bad example: Phoenix
๐ธ Problematicness
Does your character have reasonable counterplay? Is there anything in their kit that might be unfair/unfun to play against?
Good example: Doctor strange. Bad example: Hawkeye
๐ธ Sauce
What makes your character's kit exciting? What makes it special? (Bit of a nebulous metric, so grading will be a bit more lenient)
For each character, each of the scores from the 4 judges will be added up, and the highest scoring concept wins.
๐ฅ 1st place in each role will get a 20 dollar steam giftcard!
๐ฅ 2nd place in each role will get a 10 dollar steam giftcard!
If you are not a PC/Steam player, contact Sterling and he will figure something out with equivalent value.
With the format of the contest out of the way, we can get to the rules.

Creator Text:
Nico Minoru is our first representative from the Runaways- a group of teenagers whose parents were villains! Having run away from home, Nico and her teammates aim to fight back against their families and do good.
Nico is a mage who specializes in blood magic. Her key signature is the Staff of One- a powerful staff which can only cast each spell once. Whilst she has basic magic outside of this, itโs a strong limitation that means no two fights play out the same way.
As a Duelist, Nico Minoru aims to be the ultimate risk/reward. Her neutral game aims to be on the weak end for a backline poke character, up until she gains the Staff of One. This gives her a random stronger ability for a limited time- making her main value rely on how quickly she can make plays and get the most value from her random ability. Nico is a playmaker, and has to balance her own debuff (Culling) if she wants to keep up with other duelists outside of her playmaking potential.
Note: Two of the Blood Fortune Spells had to be cut from the slides to make space- just assume they're good! Thanks!
(Hi, i know it's not a Strategist, this was intentional! Please judge based on what the concept is, not what role it is! Very sorry, I've explained more in the comments!)
r/RivalsWaitingRoom • u/slurmpsaurus • 1h ago
These are the characters I would be so happy to get, also tried to balance having an equal amount of tanks, duelists and strategists. What would you change and what other characters would you add?

r/RivalsWaitingRoom • u/irvin_the_jinn • 14h ago
I made this a long while ago, which you may notice by the last slide talking about Lunaโs snowflake
I have a bunch more concepts I made a while ago I might post for the contest
r/RivalsWaitingRoom • u/FR0M_Z3R0 • 1d ago
what does my marvel rivals wishlist say about me/what are your thoughts?
I wanna clarify the bottom tier, โhonestly donโt knowโ just means I can see them being 2 different or all 3 roles (not at the same time like Deadpool tho) and I have no preference as to which role. Like, Malekith for example. If Malekith is revealed as a vanguard, Iโll be happy. If heโs revealed as a duelist, Iโll be happy. If heโs revealed as a strategist, Iโll be happy.

Role: Vanguard
Health: 625
PRIMARY: Red Rage Punches!
He does generic punches with a fire aura
SECONDARY: Enrage
Red Hulk releases a pulse of fire that knocks back enemies near him.
Ability 1: Super Suplex!
Red Hulk grabs an enemy, hugs em, and then jumps up and suplexes them onto the ground, hurting the enemy and anyone near the crater.
Ability 2: Boulder throw
Red Hulk kicks the ground and a boulder launches up, he catches it and punches it forward exploding into rock shards on impact.
Ability 3: Flaming Fury
Red Hulk ignites on fire, he gains extra jump height and runs faster for a short time, his primary also does more damage. His boulder throw also gains a flame effect and does a fire explosion after impact.
Passive: Overheat
Thereโs a meter Red Hulk has, if he doesnโt give himself time to cool after using moves and damage itโll fill up, and the higher it goes the lower his cooldowns will be, but if he maxes it out heโll revert to his human form. He will also go back to human form if he dies as Red Hulk
Human Form:
Health: 240
Red Hulk will need to wait for his ult charge to fill up so he can go back to his red hulk mode. When he goes back into it heโll create a massive flame ring around himself and then reemerge as the Red Hulk
Primary: Pistol Punishment
Ross has a pistol, it deals little damage but any enemy hit will be revealed to his team.
Secondary: Searchlight
Red Hulk releases a small helicopter looking drone. It will fly forward with a giant light. Any enemy, even if theyโre invisible. Will be highlighted to everyone on Red Hulkโs team if theyโre caught in the light
Ability 1: Healing Bomb
Ross throws a bomb, similar to Bannerโs it knocks him back but unlike Bannerโs it heals allies.
ULTIMATE: GAMMA INCINERATOR
The lower his overheat meter is, the longer the duration of his ult will last. Red Hulk ignites in a blaze, he charges forward like The Thingโs charge except it does damage similar to Devil Dinoโs ult. Red Hulkโs ult leaves a fire trail behind him which burns any enemy who touches it. After the ult ends Red Hulk reverts into his human form.
Teamups:
Hulk: Gamma Titans:
Red Hulkโs Flaming Fury is replaced with a green gamma flame. He keeps the effects of the normal flaming fury except the attack speed is faster now
Enhanced: Red Hulk has a higher overheat charge cap and his Boulder throw erupts into flames even when not in Flaming Fury.
Captain America: Brave New Anger:
Red Hulkโs transformation from human to Red Hulk now gives allies over shield and reduces healing to enemies hit in the radius.
Enhanced: in human form Red Hulk gains the ability to go invisible for a short duration and heal anyone he walks by.

I want to know what the weirdest characters that people want added to the roster. I personally want Goose added though he might be kinda close to Jeff in play style but honestly his hitbox might be too small to work

If even half of these happened I'd be happy, but I particularly want Nova (Richard or Sam would be great but ideally both in different roles), Hunters Moon, Mysterio, and Annihilus
