Marvel Rivals’ most adorable hero is a true nightmare for players who go against him

Marvel Rivals is in very good health during its first days after its launch, having amassed more than ten million players in its first weekend. While the meta of the game continues to be discovered, a very adorable little character has managed to conquer not only the hearts of the game’s fan community, but also the combat arenas. Jeff the Land Shark, a Strategist class hero whose ultimate ability allows him to engulf the opposing team completely and throw it down ravines, has been a common sight for achieving victory.

Jeff the Land Shark is one of the biggest threats in the current Marvel Rivals meta

Many players agree that Jeff the Land Shark is a threat to be reckoned with in the frenetic matches of this hero shooter for a simple reason: his ultimate ability has the potential to eliminate the entire enemy team with relative ease. Add to this his adorable appearance and demeanor, and you have quite the combo.

The name of this ultimate ability is “It’s Jeff!”, with which Jeff is able to hide under the ground, advancing towards his rivals, and then re-emerge to swallow both allies and enemies. within its range. While they are caught in their jaws, the opposing team’s players are gradually losing health and are automatically ejected after a few seconds. However, the key to the lethality of this ability is that Jeff can move and expel his prey at will. Of course, bottomless pits are the ideal objective to instantly eliminate players who have not perished while being chewed by the adorable little shark.

Given the heavy focus on objective defense in Marvel Rivals, little Jeff is one of the best options for getting full team wipes: the elimination of the entire opposing team simultaneously basically makes teams win the round or the entire game. Teams tend to huddle at key points of the scenario such as the locations to capture, or the cargo to push, so it is in these moments that Jeff shines. This is especially noticeable in scenarios where the point gets very close to the edges of the map, where Jeff is absolutely lethal.

Of course, the range of this skill is limited, but many players find it very difficult to both see Jeff coming and get away from him once he catches them., which is why its main detractors consider it to be “broken” and repeatedly ask NetEase to nerf it in pursuit of balance.
