New Marvel Rivals balance patch only tweaks "a handful of heroes" to maintain the "rich diversity" of the shooter's current strategies, but it also includes a much-needed buff for Human Torch

A new Marvel Rivals balance patch is on the way, and, while it includes some much-needed upgrades for one of the newest heroes, developer NetEase is determined to maintain the "rich diversity" of strategies players have been using in Season 1.5 by refraining from changing too much.
