The Hood Is Here in Marvel Rivals: What Should New Players Learn First?

The Hood has officially entered Marvel Rivals and I'm curious how everyone is approaching him.

Whenever a new hero gets added, the first few days are usually chaos. Half the lobby is experimenting, the other half is trying to figure out what just happened lol.

For anyone starting with him, I'd recommend spending some time understanding his ability descriptions and finding a playstyle that actually fits your team instead of jumping straight into competitive matches.

I'm also interested in how people think new hero additions affect team compositions.

Are you spending time learning The Hood, or are you sticking with your usual picks?

Definitely recommend learning the actual ability timing first. A new character can look amazing in the first few matches, but that doesn't mean you've figured out the best situations to use everything.

Also, don't judge a hero from one bad match. Some characters take a little while to understand. Give yourself a few games before deciding whether the pick works for you.

Would be interesting to collect some beginner tips here. Especially positioning and team coordination advice that doesn't require knowing every matchup already.
