Marvel Rivals update 20250110 patch notes: All balance changes

It’s almost time for Marvel Rivals Season 1 – the big update arrives on January 10, 2025, and developers from NetEase Games have already revealed the balance changes that will come with the patch. Between Vanguards, Duelists, Strategists, and team-up abilities, the developers made a number of adjustments based on collected data as well as community feedback.

“Our analysis of match data has revealed significant shifts in team compositions within regular matches, showing a vibrant diversity of lineups,” the developers wrote. “However, as the skill level escalates, compositions centered around dual shields and ranged have shown considerable skill. Despite this, players have continually refined and experimented with new compositions and strategies, further enriching the battlefield.”

The stated goal of the Season 1 changes is “to enable a wider roster to participate in more intricate gameplay, ensuring a richer, more engaging and diverse gaming experience for everyone.”
