Marvel Rivals: Everything You Need To Know About The Meta Ahead Of Season 2's Launch
Briefly

Marvel Rivals is undergoing substantial changes with the new season set to begin on April 11, 2025. Recent updates have nerfed various Strategist Ultimate abilities, particularly for characters like Cloak and Dagger, shifting the game toward a 'dive' meta that favors aggressive tactics. While Human Torch and Iron Man received both buffs and nerfs, characters like Dr. Strange are falling out of favor due to health reductions. The evolving meta encourages players to focus on new team compositions and attacks targeting enemy healers, significantly altering gameplay dynamics.
After the last update, many Strategist Ultimate abilities had their durations shorten and activation costs increased, making it harder to save an Ultimate to win fights.
Human Torch's primary attack is now faster and has two additional projectiles, enhancing his effectiveness at close range against single targets.
The emergence of a 'dive' meta means teams prioritize attacking enemy healers, leading to the rise of tanks and specific attackers in play.
Iron Man received several buffs, particularly to his 'Uni-beam' ability, which now deals more damage and synergizes effectively with Hulk.
