NetEase Games is bringing some “critical balance adjustments” to Marvel Rivals in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, with one particular change being made to one of the game’s most iconic moves.

During the Dev Vision Vol. 03 report, the Marvel Rivals team briefly touched on many of the upcoming big changes that will go live on January 10th and throughout the first season. This included a few additional details for balance adjustments and confirmation that Jeff the Land Shark will have his own ultimate rework – a joy for those who frequently get caught and thrown off cliffs during their matches.

We already knew that Hela and Hawkeye would be toned down in Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, but now we have additional reasons for these changes, along with others from the developers.

According to lead combat designer Zhiyong, the team’s analysis coupled with player feedback revealed that a combination of shield and ranged heroes formed the first tangible Marvel Rivals meta during Season 0, with specific ranged duelists taking center stage. Because of this, adjustments are being made to keep things fresh and reward players for using more unique team compositions.
