Marvel Rivals is set to kick off its first proper season later this week, and while Netease hasn't yet provided a full list of patch notes for us to peruse, it has detailed some notable balance changes coming in the update. Top line? Ranged Duelists are getting the nerf hammer.
"As Season 0 closes, our tireless analysis, along with player feedback, has revealed a rich tapestry of team compositions in regular matches, showcasing exciting diversity," lead combat designer Zhiyong says in the latest dev vision video. "However, as rank levels climb, shield-and-ranged hero combos seem to have become our first meta, with ranged Duelists particularly dominating the lineups. In the first half of Season 1, we'll be making crucial balance adjustments to keep the battles fresh and exciting!"
