Having a decent Vanguard is a must in Marvel Rivals. The most successful team composition has two tanks, which comes as no surprise. Magneto, the Master of Magnetism, is one of the most popular characters in his role. Unfortunately, his ultimate ability is currently glitched and can easily result in zero damage.

Fans recently discovered a massive bug in Marvel Rivals for Moon Knight’s ultimate ability which ended up being beneficial to the character. However, Magneto mains have now realised that their favourite mutant is struggling to deal damage at all after a recent update.

Magneto has a fatal flaw with his ultimate ability in Marvel Rivals

Magneto’s kit is relatively simple, and he can be mastered in only a few hours. However, Meteor M, his ultimate ability, requires an impeccable awareness and is one of the most misused abilities in Marvel Rivals. To make the situation worse, landing a fatal blow is quite difficult due to a bug.

In Season 1, Magneto is the second-most popular Vanguard, trailing only Doctor Strange. His pick rate is at 26.96%, which ranks sixth among all heroes. However, despite being a popular pick, Magneto only has the 13th-lowest win rate among all heroes and second-lowest among Vanguards. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact reason for his low winning percentage, but it may have something to do with his ultimate ability.

According to a recent Reddit post, Magneto’s Meteor M ability is flat-out awful at hitting enemies. The post shows a player hitting an enemy directly with the meteor. However, instead of landing a killing blow, the meteor simply passed the target, causing no damage.

While Magneto is unlikely to wipe out an entire enemy team in Marvel Rivals, his ultimate has a lot of potential. When properly charged, it can easily one-shot opposing supports and turn the tide in the battle. Thankfully, the ability can deal splash damage, which is a life-saver considering that direct hits are bugged. However, we hope that NetEase will fix this bug soon and make the character more viable.

The next Marvel Rivals update is scheduled for mid-February, but the Magneto patch may arrive sooner.
