The Marvel Rivals game, which was released a month ago, has enjoyed great success, but it’s encountered numerous balance problems, particularly in relation to certain characters.
Starting this week with the premiere of Season 1, it’s become clear that the creators will be implementing adjustments, such as both buffs and nerfs, on certain characters. This move is designed to ensure a fair and even gameplay experience for all players.
Which Heroes Are Getting Nerfed?
Based on a recent update from @RivalsLeaks, it appears that I’m excited to learn which characters in our game are getting some adjustments post-Season 0. From what I can gather, Hela and Hawkeye seem to be the ones who might need a bit of a break, as they’re being tweaked, or in other words, given a temporary rest.
No particular details about their balancing adjustments (nerfs) have been shared yet, but there’s a possibility that these characters could eliminate enemies with a single attack. This aspect sparked criticism among fans when MR initially debuted, and many expected it, given that Overwatch previously featured one-shot kills before they were eliminated due to being considered excessively powerful.
In ideal situations, headshots should cause severe damage to provide players with additional reaction time when a sniper targets them. This aspect additionally highlights the importance of collaboration, as snipers rely on ground-based teammates to assist in dealing damage and confirming kills.
Who is Getting Buffed?
As a gamer, I’ve been noticing and sharing feedback with the dev team that many characters, including Captain America, Wolverine, Storm, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom, have felt underpowered compared to some of the overpowered (OP) characters. The latest leak suggests that these characters will be receiving buffs for Season 1! Can’t wait to see the impact this will have on gameplay!
Despite minimal criticism towards C&D online, characters like Captain America, Wolverine, and Storm often come up as problematic heroes within the game. Critics argue that Captain America and Storm are underpowered compared to their significant roles, but it’s generally agreed that Wolverine is most in need of adjustment due to his misrepresented abilities. Many players claim that his healing factor doesn’t seem effective when he’s being used.
To put it simply, some argue that the challenges with Wolverine might be more about technique rather than an inherent problem, suggesting a strategy where he should repeatedly attack opponents to fill up his Berserker Rage meter.
Season 1, Here We Come
It’s anticipated that the developer update will shed light on their reasoning behind particular buffs and nerfs, given that Marvel Rivals received a significant amount of player feedback following its launch a month ago.
After its debut, Overwatch experienced significant changes, and Marvel Rivals may follow suit in a similar fashion. What’s exciting is that Overwatch served as a trailblazer for Marvel Rivals to learn from their missteps, and it appears that NetEase was already making the right moves by the time the game was released.
Marvel Rivals is now playable for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5. Season 1 launches on Jan. 10.
