Competitive play in Marvel Rivals presents many challenges, but few are as frustrating as battling triple-support compositions. Despite dealing significant damage, opponents receive overwhelming healing - making this one of the most dominant metas currently. Fortunately, strategic counterplay exists. Here's how to defeat triple-support setups.
Understanding the Triple-Support Meta
If you've avoided triple-support teams in ranked matches, consider yourself fortunate. This composition features three healers - typically combinations of Cloak & Dagger, Invisible Woman, Loki, Mantis, and Luna Snow, with the first two being staple picks.
The remaining team slots typically feature either two damage dealers and one tank, or one damage dealer with two tanks.
Why This Composition Dominates
The primary strength lies in extraordinary healing throughput, though this can theoretically be overcome with sufficient damage output. The true challenge emerges when healers activate their ultimates.
As you deal damage, support heroes rapidly charge their ultimates. Just as you gain an objective advantage, a well-timed support ultimate nullifies all progress through full-team healing. With three healers rotating ultimates, sustaining offensive momentum becomes nearly impossible.
Essentially, any progress toward eliminating enemies gets reset by healing ultimates.
Strategies Against Triple Support
While formidable, this composition has exploitable weaknesses. First, dedicating three slots to healers sacrifices either frontline pressure or damage output. Second, lacking sufficient dive heroes leaves their backline vulnerable.
The solution involves aggressive dive tactics:
- Prioritize healers with mobile damage dealers
- Pair dive tanks like Venom with flanking duelists
- Combine sustained pressure with burst damage
Optimal Hero Counters
Effective choices include:
- Winter Soldier: Eliminates squishy targets in 2-3 shots and interrupts ultimates
- Iron Fist: Mobile duelist perfect for backline harassment
- Venom: Ideal dive tank to pressure healers
- Spider-Man: High-mobility duelist with punishing ultimate
- Snipers (Hawkeye/Black Widow): Capitalize on unprotected sightlines
- Iron Man: Exploits aerial advantage against tank-deficient teams
For alternative options, Black Panther provides decent flanking potential, though less consistently than top-tier choices.
