"100% a cheater": Marvel Rivals community reacts to Luna Snow controversy

Since its launch a few days ago, Marvel Rivals has faced severe criticism from players. Many of them encountered cheaters in their recent matches, which shocked the community and prompted questions about how a game only a few weeks old could already have such issues.

This was reflected in a recent Reddit post by u/OviWan91, who shared a 30-second clip of a Luna Snow player and accused them of cheating in-game. This sparked chaos in the community, with players echoing their frustration. A user u/c0rnkob420 expressed:

“100% a cheater that’s actually insane lmao”

Many players commented on u/OviWan91’s post, which appeared to criticize the game. User u/hiisthisavaliable talked about the embarrassment the company could face if it couldn't even block the most common cheats. They also raised the question of whether the game has any anti-cheat system to prevent this hacking.

User u/Hattrickher0 expressed that they didn't think it was cheating until Luna Snow fought Venom.

Another user, u/alilbleedingisnormal, claimed the cheater was likely using an auto clicker since "no one" could click that fast. The video showcased Luna Snow attacking and eliminating her opponent in a seemingly unnatural manner, which the Redditor suggested is not possible without hacking.

Humorously, through his comment, user u/ps2man41 attributed the player's skill to their "better gaming chair."

Meanwhile, several players expressed shock after watching the clip. For instance, Redditor u/Footbeard commented that even Spiderman can't shoot webs that fast. Other users followed up with comments indicating the Luna Snow player was indeed cheating. One user, u/ZyzzL9SecretJutsu, suggested that the player could be using a cheat to bypass the client-sided FPS issues that were supposedly slowing down characters like Wolverine, Magik, and Venom, among others.

Marvel Rivals has a rising cheating problem

The Marvel Rival community has been complaining about its potential cheating problem since just a few days after its release.

Judging by the community's reactions to various clips online, players are eager to see the game's anti-cheat system fixed. However, there has been no official statement from the developer's side addressing these concerns.
