If there's one gripe that I've had with Marvel Rivals since its launch, it's that everything is overtuned, seemingly intentionally by NetEase. High DPS means you need high, consistent healing to counteract it. If you're not bursting an enemy down in a nanosecond, chances are they'll get to cover and be back to full health faster than you can say "bullshit". And nothing has been worse than almost every Strategist's ultimate being a straightforward no one dies for ten whole seconds.
Emma Frost's ultimate in Season 2 was a step forward in preventing these clutch, cheap-feeling stalls, but Blade takes it to the next level: anti-healing, a power that once given can never be undone, as Overwatch has taught us in the past.
