NetEase's Marvel Rivals differentiates itself from polished esports shooters by allowing for chaotic gameplay that encourages experimentation. The latest patch introduced on February 6 focuses on bug fixes without altering the balance, unlike competitors such as Overwatch 2. This methodical approach preserves the game's fun, which is seen as a significant aspect overshadowing other hero shooters. The update also includes new skins for Captain America and Luna Snow, maintaining player interest while resolving gameplay issues that have affected user experience.
The hero shooter just got its next patch, and it looks like the team is continuing a slow, methodical approach to balancing, rather than upending the meta with each update.
NetEase letting players have some chaotic fun is a big reason it's overshadowing the hero shooter competition right now.
Marvel Rivals could still use some tuning (nerf Hela's health when she casts her ultimate, dammit), but NetEase's approach allows for experimentation and viral shenanigans.
The update will go live tomorrow, February 6, at 1 a.m. Pacific / 4 a.m. Eastern, and will include a new skin for Captain America.
