Marvel Rivals Season 2: Hellfire Gala kicks off on April 11th, 2025. The patch notes reveal significant balance changes across all three classes, aiming to shift the competitive meta. Dominant characters like Magneto, Dr. Strange, and Hela face nerfs, while niche characters such as Thor, Hulk, and Scarlet Witch receive buffs. The Thing and Magneto are also nerfed, with Captain America, Thor, and Peni Parker getting buffs. Hela, the most banned character in competitive play, sees nerfs alongside Star-Lord and Winter Soldier, potentially leading to more diverse team compositions. Buffs are also given to Hawkeye, Iron Man, Black Widow, Moon Knight, and Human Torch, with nerfs to Wolverine, Loki, Adam Warlock, and Invisible Woman’s healing abilities. Healing remains crucial, with Cloak & Dagger and Invisible Woman boasting over a 20% pick rate across all ranks. Three new team-ups will be introduced, and adjustments made to existing ones, including the removal of Metallic Chaos and Voltaic Union. The Gamma Charge team-up, popular in Season 0, may see increased use due to buffs to Iron Man and Hulk. Map changes include the removal of Royal Palace and Shin-Shibuya Convergence, replaced by the new Hellfire Gala map. These extensive changes could significantly impact competitive and professional play, possibly leading to new metas like triple duellist compositions.
