The Rivals community loves to complain about healer players. However, this one will probably get a pass.
Streamer Poopernoodle and her dog Pea are a cute streaming duo and now they’re teaming up in Marvel Rivals. And they're doing better than some human duos...
When Your Healer Has Four Paws
Streamer Poopernoodle jumped into Marvel Rivals during a recent stream, but with a twist. Instead of simply queuing up and playing as usual, she decided her dog Pea should help her out. So she first headed to the practice range, where she rebound Jeff’s healing bubbles to a custom button that Pea could press. But how did Pea know when to use it? Poopernoodle created a clever incentive: Pea received a treat every time she hit the button.
After some training in the practice range, the duo entered a quick match and did surprisingly well. Pea seemed to understand the assignment, sending out healing bubbles regularly or collecting treats, depending on who you ask. Poopernoodle was clearly amused, and Pea also looked like she was having the time of her life.
Together, they’re probably the cutest healer duo in Marvel Rivals, even cuter than Jeff himself.
The Simple Magic Behind A Dog’s Button Press
Moments like these are a big reason why creator-driven games thrive online. Marvel Rivals may not be new anymore, but clips like Poopernoodle’s still show how much personality and creativity streamers can bring into the game. Turning a simple support ability into a mini training session for a dog is exactly the kind of unpredictable content audiences enjoy.
Instead of high-level gameplay or meta strategies, viewers got a mix of humor, lighthearted chaos and authenticity. This type of content often performs better than any highlight reel because it feels real and spontaneous (because it is). It also reflects a growing trend in streaming culture. Many players use games as a playground for creative ideas rather than focusing solely on competition.
Poopernoodle did not aim to create a viral moment. She simply wanted to have fun with her dog, and that genuine energy is visible in every second of the clip.
A Moment the Rivals Community Didn’t Know It Needed
The unusual healer duo might be exactly what the Rivals community desperately needs. In a game often dominated by sweats and a fair amount of toxicity, a lighthearted moment of a streamer simply having fun with her dog is a more than welcome change of pace. Instead of yet another clip where someone gets flamed or trash talked, this was a creative and unexpected way to enjoy the game.
The community absolutely loves it for that reason, and who knows? Maybe in the future we will see more dogs playing support heroes, and we can finally put that famous “GG no heals” to rest.
