Marvel Rivals' Season 9 update will affect 80% of its roster as NetEase throws balance out the window for a more 'fun' approach to the game

Marvel Rivals will open the doors to the "most massive overhaul to the combat system since launch" that affects roughly 80% of its hero roster when Season 9 kicks off in a couple of days. There's hero reworks, a massive change to Team-Ups, and a substantial ultimate charge nerf.

The state of Marvel Rivals has been slightly contentious and some may say even stale over the last few seasons. Among frustrations with misdirected balance patches, suffocating Strategist strength, and barrages of ultimate contests, players didn't have a lot of love to give for the game's state of affairs. But it seems like NetEase went into Season 9 with the intention of taking a hammer to everything. For better or worse? It's debatable.
