Marvel Rivals Season 1 buffs and nerfs

Marvel Rivals players are getting massive balance changes for Season 1 as this aspect of the game has been left untouched since the global release.

Out of all the nerfs and buffs, Storm, Hela, and Hawkeye are the most obvious. While Storm barely gets any playtime, players have figured out how to abuse Hawkeye and Hela’s abilities since the global release.

NetEase Games is toning down Hela and Hawkeye to allow other ranged characters to shine and most notably boosting the abilities of mobile-type Vanguards. The Wolverine and Storm buffs should make them less of a niche-pick.
