Marvel Rivals Patch Notes

A tuning pass rather than a systems patch — there is no GLOBAL CHANGES section, and eleven of the eighteen heroes touched are adjusted only through a Team-Up. The exception is Peni Parker: her Cyber-Web Snare no longer immobilises on contact, and now has to land twice on the same target to lock anyone down.

18 heroes changed · 11 buffed · 5 nerfed · 2 adjusted
