The upcoming Marvel Rivals Season 1 is bringing big changes to the game's heroes. Some heroes, like Hulk and Hela, are getting nerfs to make them less overpowered. Meanwhile, others, such as Captain America and Cloak & Dagger, are getting buffs to make them stronger. This should make the game more balanced and fun for everyone. The game's developers say they want to make the game more exciting and engaging. They're also introducing new heroes from the Fantastic Four.

NetEase, the game’s developer, announced these changes in a recent post. They explained that they want to make sure all heroes have a chance to shine. Some heroes will have their health reduced, while others will get increased resistance or cooler abilities. For example, Hulk's shield will be less powerful, but Storm's wind blade will hit harder.

The changes will go live on January 10, with a maintenance period starting on January 9. During this time, the game's servers will be offline. The developers warned that the time it takes for servers to come back online might vary.

Alongside these balance changes, the game is getting a Hero Hot List. This stat page will show which heroes are popular and winning the most. It's expected to change a lot with Season 1, not just because of the balance changes but also because of the new heroes.

Some heroes are getting improvements to their team-up abilities too. For example, Thor and Storm's team-up ability will deal more damage and be available more often.
