Marvel Rivals Patch Dec. 10 — Where Are the Balance Changes
Marvel Rivals has been out for a few days now and is being received well overall by the gaming community. It's already reached over 10 million players and was selling so much stuff on Steam that Steam's store crashed for it.
Of course, the game has not been perfect, and there are plenty of things that need to be ironed out. The developers were smart to do a season 0 for this exact reason. Season 0 is, in many ways, a pseudo-beta on a large scale.
Notably, this patch does not include balance changes to address characters that the community has identified as overly strong in the initial release week such as Jeff the Land Shark or Scarlet Witch.
