Two particularly dominant Duelists are the targets of Marvel Rivals&#8217; first nerfs: Hawkeye and Hela. The specifics of the nerfs will have to wait for official patch notes, but NetEase says the idea is &#8220;ensuring all ranged heroes have a chance to shine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the other balance changes NetEase talked about are almost all buffs. &#8220;Mobile-type&#8221; Vanguard heroes Captain America and Venom are getting buffs, seemingly to their speed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Additionally, we&#8217;re boosting the capabilities of heroes that shine in specialized compositions, like Wolverine and Storm, to ensure they are the cornerstone of unique strategies,&#8221; Zhiyong said.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t played Wolverine or Storm (or seen them all that often in matches), so I&#8217;m not sure what to take away from NetEase&#8217;s vagueness yet. Cloak and Dagger are getting an equally unclear buff to boost their effectiveness in &#8220;diverse&#8221; team comps.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"uzgrnMK3FR8XqDKDUXGRTU\" name=\"Marvel Rivals Season 1 Begins Dev Vision Vol. 03 00-03-06\" alt=\"marvel rivals season 1 battle pass skins\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marvel-rivals-first-balance-patch-targets-two-popular-duelists-and-jeffs-ultimate.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: NetEase Games)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Maybe the most personally heartbreaking nerf, though easily the most necessary, is a nerf to Jeff the Land Shark&#8217;s team-swallowing ultimate:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The detection range of Jeff the Land Shark&#8217;s ultimate ability will also be fine-tuned to better align with early warning signals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OK, that&#8217;s at least approaching straightforward: It&#8217;ll be easier to avoid Jeff ults in the future, so we can probably expect <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/marvel-rival-players-discover-a-little-shark-lad-can-instakill-the-whole-enemy-team-by-eating-them-and-hurling-himself-off-a-cliff\/\">fewer &#8220;giga gulp&#8221; team wipes<\/a>.
