A Marvel Rivals glitch lets players trap opponents indefinitely using Jeff the Land Shark and Doctor Strange.
A new exploit in Marvel Rivals is disrupting matches, allowing players to permanently remove their opponents from the game. By using a combo with Jeff the Land Shark and Doctor Strange, affected players are stuck and can’t rejoin the round. This gives an unfair advantage with no way to counter it.
How the Glitch Works
This glitch takes advantage of the synergy between Jeff the Land Shark’s ultimate ability, It’s Jeff!, and Doctor Strange’s Pentagram of Farallah portals. To execute it, Jeff uses his ultimate to swallow multiple enemies at once, while Doctor Strange strategically places one portal in an unreachable part of the map and another near Jeff. Once Jeff spits out the captured enemies into the portal, Doctor Strange quickly switches to another character, causing the portals to disappear. This results in the trapped enemies being stuck in an inaccessible location, making it a powerful exploit.
This sequence of actions results in the affected players being trapped in an isolated, unreachable location for the remainder of the round. Once banished, there is no way for the trapped players to escape or counteract the glitch, making it one of the most frustrating exploits encountered in the game so far.
Impact on Gameplay and Potential Fix
This exploit is a common one among players, with some enjoying it and others just frustrated when it occurs to them. Because it does affect game balance, the developers will probably patch it in a future patch. In the meantime, players just need to be vigilant when they're playing against players who use Jeff and Doctor Strange together.

The Marvel Rivals community now awaits an official response from the developers to ensure a fair and balanced experience for all players.
