Under Dev Vision Vol. 03 report, the Marvel Rivals team briefly went over many of the big changes coming that will go live on January 10th and throughout Season 1. This included a few additional details for balance adjustments and confirmation that Jeff the Land Shark will have his ultimate reworked – bringing joy to all who are often grabbed and thrown off cliffs during their battles.

We already knew that Hela and Hawkeye were going to be nerfed in Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, but now we have an additional rationale for these changes, along with others from the developers.

According to lead battle designer Zhiyong, the team’s analysis paired with player feedback has revealed that a combination of shield and ranged heroes has formed the first tangible Marvel Rivals meta in Season 0, with certain duelists taking center stage. As a result, adjustments are being made to keep things fresh and reward players for using more unique team compositions.
