In normal circumstances this situation should be mentally overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
Not when characters have clear silhouettes.
This is a trick almost as old as multiplayer itself.
In some respects Marvel Rivals is good at the silhouette game.
For example, Hulk, Venom and Thor are all large tanks, but still have very distinct shapes.
Hulk has a small head, making him pointy at the top.
Venom is hunched with little legs, making him into an upside-down triangle.
Thor is basically a rectangle, with a fluttering cape to further draw the eye.
All great, no notes.
But as you get further into the roster ofMarvel Rivals characters, things start to get tricky.
Still, Logan’s ugly jacket being coloured like a tropical fish does help mark them apart.
But clarity takes a hit again once you reach the bulk of the women in Marvel Rivals.
It’s just unclear visual language.
Oh, and it gets worse when you factor in all those paid skins.
Remember how Wolverine’s varsity jacket helped separate him from the rest of the cast?
If anybody out there had actually played Black Widow, it would be a catastrophe.
Cartoonish visuals always help here.
Use whatever colors you want, NetEase but for fun’s sake, yo color within the lines.
