Elsa’s broken kit in Marvel Rivals is just a symptom of a larger powercreep problem

Elsa Bloodstone appeared in Marvel Rivals last week, introduced in the season 6.5 update, and stirred up quite the storm. The general consensus about the gunslinging monster hunter is that she’s completely busted, deals too much damage, recovers too much health, and is just Bad For The Game. Elsa isn’t the issue, though, at least not entirely. The problem is a more fundamental issue with how she fits into the rest of the roster — and, more broadly, with how Marvel Rivals plays.
