NetEase finally spilt the beans on Marvel Rivals' Season 6.5 update yesterday, ahead of its launch on Friday, 13 February, giving us our first look at Elsa Bloodstone and all the balance changes. Of course, this was conveniently timed right as its competitor, Overwatch, launched its massive yearly refresh, which caused the game to break its player count record on Steam.
However, 'balance' isn't exactly the word I and many others would use to describe the latest patch notes, which continue to drop the ball that was already deep in the ground as far back as launch day.
Venom, the king of stalling and diving, has seen yet another buff, this time to his survivability. Star-Lord, who could already get his ultimate incredibly quickly, has had his ult cost reduced. Hela and Phoenix's precision damage is as oppressive as ever. Oh, and Adam Warlock can fly, which is cool but makes for another pesky flying hero.
