Marvel Rivals Season 11 Cuts Hero Survivability and Boosts Duelist Damage
The Season 11 update changes the balance of Marvel Rivals, the hero-shooter game built around Marvel characters.
It introduces a new character and a large set of changes to heroes already in the game.
After player feedback, the update aims to make Vanguards and Strategists less able to survive damage.
At the same time, it increases damage for Duelists, who can struggle against those roles’ survival tools.
Few heroes receive buffs, though some Duelists gain more endurance or damage potential, and Squirrel Girl gets a major rework.
The developers say they will explain more clearly why heroes are changed in the extensive Season 11 patch notes.
