Marvel Rivals’season two wears on, leading to the release of new support hero Ultron on May 30, but some existing heroes are getting hit with changes in an impending update ahead of that.
“Turns out even super heroes need to hit the gym (or occasionally the nerf bat), just some tweaks to keep those super-squads ‘perfectly balanced, as all things should be,'” NetEase said in the patch notes.
Previously teased in a post last week, the changes to several heroes inMarvel Rivalshave now been detailed by NetEase Games ahead of its deployment in the early morning hours of April 30. It includes nerfs for Groot, Captain America, and Spider-Man, but with a few buffs to other heroes as well.
For example,Groot’s Ironwood Wall will now have 600 HP, down from 700 HP. I’m not sure if this will have a sweeping impact in the meta, as the tree has become a menace when it comes to walling off the battlefield and controlling the game.
Captain America’s health has received a decent hit, too,down to 600 from 650, which will hopefully help take down his survivability a little bit. And your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man’s ultimate now has a bit shorter range.
Regarding buffs, Cloak & Dagger are getting some nice damage increases, along with some improvements for Doctor Strange, Adam Warlock, Luna Snow, Mantis, and Winter Soldier’s team-up with Captain America.
