Marvel Rivals has just launched season 1, the game barreling forward with a colossal amount of momentum over the past month as it has broken past the “you can’t make a successful hero shooter” narrative and has created a phenomenon.

NetEase has clamped down on Marvel Rivals skin modding in the game's latest seasonal update, so no more playing as Iron Man cosplaying Vegeta.

Marvel Rivals' battle pass and event grind is a relaxed one, and I'm grateful for it and hoping that aspect of the game doesn't change as the game evolves.
