Marvel Rivals patch notes today
Today’s update focuses on targeted hero fixes rather than broad balance shifts. You see improvements that correct visuals, positioning, and recovery behavior during high-impact abilities.
You benefit most if you play heroes with complex ultimates. The patch prioritizes accuracy in combat stats, revive placement, and visual clarity during overlapping abilities.
What changed in this update:
| Hero | What you notice in matches |
|---|---|
| Loki | When you equip the Lady Loki outfit, the ultimate now displays the correct character portrait in combat stats, keeping identity consistent during fights. |
| Adam Warlock | Revived allies return to their intended positions instead of the spot where they fell, which restores predictable team re-entry during clutch moments. |
| Cloak & Dagger | The ultimate’s visual effects display properly again when triggered alongside Light’s Embrace, so you can track ability timing more reliably. |
| Rogue | After mid-air collisions involving Chrono Kick Combo, you recover from knockdown faster if the opposing hero goes down during impact. |
These adjustments remove edge-case errors that could disrupt your decision-making in tight engagements. You gain clearer feedback when ultimates resolve, especially in team fights with layered effects.
The patch does not introduce new heroes or modes. You instead get a cleaner, more dependable experience when executing abilities that define match momentum.
