Marvel Rivals Version 20250430 Patch Notes are here with new Balance Changes to the beloved roster. Check out the nerfs and buffs.

Marvel Rivals Patch Notes version 20250430 is here. As the version number suggests, the new balance updates will apply on 30th April 2025. This is not a major update. So, there won’t be any server downtime for the same. The primary theme for these Patch Notes was the “support strike” experienced by Marvel Rivals players in the past few days. All Strategists in the game were facing a lot of dive meta team compositions that were taking away the fun from their games. Along with some buffs to certain Strategists, the developers also tweaked a few Vanguards, Duelists, and a Team-Up ability.
Marvel Rivals Season 2 April Balance Changes

Since this is a small update, the Balance Changes aren’t many. The devs only focused on the characters who needed it the most. For example, Vanguards like Captain America and Groot were controlling the point a bit too much. So, they had to be nerfed a bit. However, Strategists have received subtle buffs.
