MARVEL RIVALS STRIKE: DEV REVEALS PLANS TO BOOST STRATEGY

Marvel Rivals developer NetEase Games is responding to player concerns regarding the Strategist class in the hero shooter, particularly as many players have expressed frustrations over being less effective in comparison to Vanguards and Duelists since Season 2 launched. Following a community-wide strike by Support players, NetEase has announced plans to buff the Strategist class and make Competitive mode adjustments. Specifically, the updates will include raising the threat levels for heroes like Invisible Woman and Jeff the Land Shark while nerfing more powerful characters. The adjustments aim to restore balance and enhance player experience without drastically changing the game's overall meta.

Players can expect buffs to the Strategist class, potentially increasing the effectiveness of characters like Invisible Woman and Jeff the Land Shark, along with nerfs to Vanguards like Captain America. Additionally, adjustments will be made to performance ratings in Competitive mode to ensure fairness across all roles.

Marvel Rivals is a dynamic hero shooter that has attracted a strong community since its release. Season 2 introduced new characters such as Emma Frost and is set to expand further with the arrival of Ultron. The ongoing efforts by NetEase to address balance issues reflect their commitment to maintaining a healthy competitive environment, making the game engaging for players across various classes.
