Marvel Rivals Has a Problem: Its Players Refuse to Admit the Best Anti-dive Hero in the Game Isn’t Peni or Namor

The dive meta in Marvel Rivals has been driving support players to the brink of madness since launch. Nothing quite matches the frustration of watching a Spider-Man swing into your backline while your team’s Duelists chase butterflies on the other side of the map.
Most players swear by Namor as the ultimate dive counter, with his turret-based gameplay and ability to lock down choke points. Others champion Peni Parker’s web snares and trap-laden nests.

When it comes to shutting down aggressive divers in Marvel Rivals, most players immediately think of Namor’s octopus turrets or Peni Parker’s web snares. Both are solid picks, but there’s a certain orange rock monster being criminally overlooked.
