Sure, here’s a reimagined version:
—
You know that feeling when you’re lining up a perfect headshot and—bam—it doesn’t register? Yeah, well, Mantis players in Marvel Rivals are feeling that pain. So, there’s this bizarre bug, or whatever you want to call it, where her headshot detection just doesn’t work right. It’s like trying to win a staring contest with a painting. Frustrating, right?
People play Marvel Rivals for its epic roster of comic book heroes. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be Iron Man or Captain America, right? But you’ve got folks choosing Mantis because, hey, why not throw some mental superpowers into the mix? Except now, instead of boosting the team with Allied Inspiration, she’s stuck with this hitbox madness.
Over on Reddit (you know, the land of all complaints), a user dubbed HighlyIndecisive shared a clip showing this mess. In the video, Mantis players are desperately trying to hit enemies—and it’s so inconsistent, it’s like trying to thread a needle while someone’s shoving you around. Poor Mantis. Players are baffled, “Why does this work for her but not Adam Warlock?” Maybe it’s to make her easier? Who knows. It’s doing the opposite.
Anyways, the community’s pretty riled up about it. Folks are spamming the game’s official Discord, begging for NetEase to patch this hiccup. Apparently, this bug’s turned Mantis aiming into something like guiding a drunk homing pigeon. Not fun when a headshot could be the difference between winning and licking your wounds.
Now, NetEase has dealt with bugs before. Recently they tweaked things for Star-Lord and Mister Fantastic, which probably means a fix could be on the horizon. Fingers crossed we see a Mantis patch soon. Until then, maybe steer clear unless you like a good challenge… or bad hitboxes.
Mantis folks, we feel your pain. Let’s hope something gets resolved and this whole fiasco becomes just another bug story to laugh at over time.
