@@SchnookieC Mantis and Luna are a liability against Black Panther, Magik, Moonknight, and Spider Man. Both have an all or nothing ability to stun an enemy that if you miss you’re as good as dead. Luna has zero self heal so she’s dead without anyone helping her
Hela got a damage fall off nerf. She does less damage at long range. Was watching Necro's stream and his peeps were testing the changes. Storm projectile speed was increased as well as her damage. She is a little faster when she moves as well in the air. Its a massive buff for her. Cap got Liberty dash forward buffed. From 12 seconds to 10. Other then that no one really noticed any other buffs. Hawkeye got his bow charge up slowed. He can't charge up full damage shots so fast anymore. Venom's attack animation is quicker at least by what people have noticed. His right click might of been buffed by making heroes slower. Some changes that were not mentioned. Luna Snow got her Ultimate nerfed. You can't spam the crap out of it and toggle heal and damage at the same time. Its either or for each now. Squirrel Girl might of been buffed. Her Ultimate now tracks players and hunts them down instead of bonking mindlessly into walls or jumping off cliffs. Noticed that on Necro's stream. Namor drops his turrets faster now. He can literally spam them out. That squid usually flies slowly to where you want it to go. Now it shoots to where you want it to go. There is probably a lot more changes that haven't been mentioned yet or noticed. But most of the changes are small changes that won't severely change how a hero plays like Hawkeye, his charge up time was increased and that was it. Hela had a damage fall off nerf plus health nerf. Storm was a big buff so probably the most noticeable change.
Some things i missed: Wolverine HP buff - 300 to 350 Bucky HP buff - 250 to 275 Luna snow - limit to ult change speed to stop spamming I know that i missed some things but i tried my best given the tools i had to find what had changed and didnt have any help from others I posted becase i thought what i had found might be interesting for those who wanted to see, next time ill try to figure out how to make it more informational first before posting
Cap also has a ten second cooldown on his Liberty Rush (the shield dash). It was 12 second in season 0. He was the worst Vanguard and now he's.... still the worst Vanguard.
Take this video down and redo it. Your missing this information and that fub up with cap and Reed at the end needs to be cut. The form is great, just be accurate.
The thing is, if they don't buff her damage permanently, it won't matter. Our seasonal buff is gone next season, so we loose 15% of our damage, which means no more one shot combos
@@brokenspace6665how do you know the seasonal buff is gone next season? Has their been any confirmation that all/any seasonal buffs from season 0 will not carry over to season 1? In the test servers for new patch every season 0 bonus was still active, and it included the new one for Mr. Fantastic/Invisible Woman.
At first I was kind of like you call these nerfs/buffs, but I like their gradual approach so it doesn't render a persons main or hero useless right off the bat. They take a slow and steady approach it seems.
It will mean a lot for some people too for overbuffs. Wolverine was thought to be bad for a while, but now has carved his Niche and is REALLY, REALLY oppressive in it. So him being buffed is scary.
@@iownstaticz8687they literally can 1-2 shot no one cares it's frustrating getting hit by a foot tall arrow and cant reach or combat it that makes Hawkeye easy mode and low skill point and shoot type it's busted, broken boring and takes no skill -_-
No way the hela "nerf" is that minimal Edit: Not typing this to 50 different people, hela and hawkeye are only losing 5% as their seasonal buff is being decreased from 20 to 15% please think and research before you comment...
@@theregularhuman the seasonal boost was probably the biggest issue since she could effectively 2 tap any non vanguard hero. The nerfs probably change her to a 3 crit to kill for non vanguards now
I was hoping we'd get faster fire rate, faster projectile speed, and less damage fall off, but I will happily take increased damage over projectile speed
I like your channel but whats the point of uploading this if you're gonna say 'i'm not really sure about this one' like half of the time. It doesnt look good lol..
Hela cannot kill with a Headshot into Bodyshot anymore at reasonable ranges Captain America's Dash (Liberty Rush) cooldown decreased from 12 seconds to 10 seconds. Venom's Right click seems to slow enemies more noticeably, not sure on that one. Dagger's Right Click (Dagger Storm) cooldown decreased from 15 to 12 Hawkeye's Draw speed to charge an arrow significantly decreased Thor has 625 HP
The amount of times I've been playing doctor strange against Jeff and literally fly all the way up only to get sucked into a Jeff ult from the stratosphere
I would like to guess the "slower attack" on wolverine is because they may have patched the bug he had where his attack speed was dependent on your fps
yea 3 minutes in and left a dislike, this clown is just desperate for views and clicks. he'll fall off when real tubers bring the patch notes and actual testing
This dude is an idiot. Maybe not make a video about just guessing buffs and nerfs. Clearly hes not really trying to look and juts trying to put out videos. Unsubbing for me
not to mention that he is also losing the seasonal boost more than likely. I wouldn't be surprised if his crit damage falls closer to Widow's damage where the only hero he can one shot is a Bruce Banner out of Hulk form
Venom, magneto, and all of the other tanks need buffed. They hardly do any damage. Some of the healers do more damage than the tanks. Like cloak and dagger.
I never comment on RUclips videos, but reading the comments here is making me sad. I’ve been watching your videos for literally years at this point Merchant, and the fact that anyone would say you don’t put enough effort or information into your videos is insane. I’ve learned so much watching your videos and I love to see your rivals content because you got me into this game too! Keep up the good work as always:)
Yea I don’t understand why people are so nasty. There’s criticism and then there’s rudeness. I could understand if Merchant was an asshole but he’s just giving what he can
@Maxwell-mb7xn This isn't really stagnant, the dude started a new channel with a new format. Talking about leadership when you're a furry Walmart cart pusher overwatch player is wild. Almost as insane as thinking you can learn MMA from RUclips, I thought that at 15 too.
hope your rivals videos keep blowing up ive loved your apex content for years and loved you (no in a weird way) lmao you deserve every bit of it thanks for the banger video!
I bet the Venom buff is a buff to his lmb slow amount. Those Captain America buffs are a bit disappointing to be honest, was hoping for a stun on his F but 25hp is pretty big.
Was playing comp yesterday as cloak and dagger and never died and we won, she seemed really good so to add this buff is crazy, if she stacked her ult things onto and threw a bubble, she could survive like 3 punisher ults shooting her at the same time, yet with four now, if the team actually uses it, she will be unstoppable I think, ontop of Sue storm, who looks to be crazy powerful, I’m very excited
hela nerf should tone her down quite a bit. she's going to be a lot more vulnerable to dive characters and she won't be able to just sit in the back and 2 tap everyone since she has more damage fall off now.
The Hela nerf was way stronger that was said, the actual Hela can 1HEAD 1BODY to get a kill, the new Hela, need 1HEAD 2BODY to get the same thing, that's huge.
Wasn't Jeffs ULT change based on the sound? Because the sound didn't play soon enough people didn't have time to react faster? So now the sound plays a bit earlier?
Ngl I got chubs when I heard they're making the form change more fluid for CnD. Precisely what I wanted. A more intuitive color for her ult would be nice though. Just make it have a green aura for allies PLEASE. My teammates need all the help they can get.
storm buff is literally perfect. that is exactly what she needed to be up to par with the other characters. it's crazy to see a game where the developers actually understand what needs tweaking and do it quickly. if storm were an apex character she would have been untouched for 4 years, and then they would have like buffed her ammo count or something lol.
Cap America buffs are horrible, doesn’t seem like those 2 little things are going to help with anything. Also Hela and Hawkeye nerfs are ass aswell. We’ll see ingame but they look like they can still just quick tap kill The others seem great though, can’t wait to finally play Storm!!
I think they are pretty well measured nerfs. The Hela fall off forces Hela players to play up more, making them easier to pressure, and the Hawkeye nerf makes it so it's harder to just spam off random arrows and frag out. Them also losing anchor bonus damage unless their partner is present is also a pretty big deal, and I don't think they want to completely gut the character. Cap on the other hand, I don't think needed much to feel better. People were calling him trash, but I have also seen a few eternity/one above all players doing well with him. He wasn't top tier, but once you figured out what you were supposed to be doing with him, you could generate a lot of value. He's an annoying backline threat, while also having an ult that functions like a defensive support ult. He's not a big fragger, but people still find themselves winning games with him for a reason. It's too bad his value doesn't always show up on the score card.
The developers are obviously testing the waters with their buffs and nerfs instead of overturning one or deleting another. The Hela and Hawkeye nerfs are justify since not only will people against them will have a better time dealing with them but players who actually like playing these characters won’t feel punished for using a character they like. As for Captain America, people are still learning how to use him effectively so just simply giving him a Health buff is good enough. Like people thought Wolverine and Hulk were bad until they realized that Wolverine is a monster at destroying tanks and Hulk is a huge disruptor for dive characters so I think it was a good call for them to see if he actually needs a buff or if the player finds a way to make his play style. Plus I prefer if they don’t go down the rabbit hole on how Overwatch balances work. Like remember how they made Sombra who was a good character into one of the most hate characters in the game because of her rework.
that actually wouldn’t be good bc u can’t touch point if everyone is invis and say someone dies who’s not invis and u invis everyone else now no one’s on point and in over time it could cost u the game
The cloak isn’t going to wait for his entire right click to end, he will stay in their just long enough to dodge an ult or get to high ground which usually takes a second or 2
@@aries148it doesn't matter. They are the only two strategists used every single game because they are currently objectively better than all the others. They needed a nerf so you could actually run other strategists and still be competitive.
Venom gets buff Everyone in the back: why do I hear something coming from the sky? (The buff for venom is stronger ult and more shield from ult and when he is low)
Whoa the buffs for C&D are abit much I’m slightly overwhelmed by house nice they are being. A faster Chang out out speed basically means faster reload speed for daggers basic dagger throw. And 4 stacks of Ult, I felt 3 was enough enough but 4, thank you.
No movement/maneuverability buff to Adam Warlock? The guy is one of the many marvel supermen that doesn't need a spaceship to get to another planet but in Rivals, he can't even float or even have atleast a 1% movement speed increase? Why? He needs something other than share health and heals with teammates for 4-6 seconds

I hate to be that guy. I know Mantis is easily in the top 5 heroes right now. No debating that, but nerfing her movement speed buff is a gut punch. I’ve spent dozens of hours getting comfortable with her mechanically and it feels a bit like wasted effort. Getting changes to your main hero’s movement speed, projectile speed, projectile drop, or anything of that nature just sucks. Increase the base time to regen her seeds, reduce her self or ally damage buff %, reduce the duration of her buffs, reduce the radius of her sleep…do literally anything except this type of nerf where we have to relearn the hero’s mechanical feel.
I don’t get wandas percentage damage 5-3 Her main and secondary fire are bugged but what does Reduce the percentage damage per second from 5% to 3% mean
i wish captain was changed to have his base weapon change depending on his last ability i.e his throw toggles shield throw for 3 seconds his bash makes him tanky or gives him health base on dmg and leap makes him do more damage for 3 secs. cap right now does nothing great and hes mid at most right now this health buff does nothing for him except for doing nothing for longer
One thing you missed. Hela and Hawkeye still have their seasonal buffs. You mentioned with Hela Nothing has changed apart from her health decrease. I was concerned for a second when Hela and Hawkeye still did similar if not the same damage as you shown, but at 4:48, you can see they still have their seasonal buffs. Do your best to pay attention to detail when testing things next time. But otherwise, im looking foward to Season 1 and the buffs!
The irony of telling someone they missed something when they literally covered that same exact sometbing in the first 10 seconds of the video. The build he is playing on still has the team ups and team anchor abilities and they were not informed if they will change or not.
with patch notes out, I've made an updated version with ALL changes here: ruclips.net/video/70MNeCzi9NE/видео.html
I'm so heartbroken that Captain America didn't get anything actually good, he already ran fast enough, nobody was complaining about that or his health
Yeah i play captain that not enough no reduce cooldown of his ability ,no damage buff,just speed and 25 hp that really suck...
i just need his shield to have no cooldown and to be able to pull his shield in air

Ngl I got chubs when I heard they're making the form change more fluid for CnD. Precisely what I wanted. A more intuitive color for her ult would be nice though. Just make it have a green aura for allies PLEASE. My teammates need all the help they can get.
storm buff is literally perfect. that is exactly what she needed to be up to par with the other characters. it's crazy to see a game where the developers actually understand what needs tweaking and do it quickly. if storm were an apex character she would have been untouched for 4 years, and then they would have like buffed her ammo count or something lol.
If cap ever gets a slight ding buff he’ll be top tier
Its about time they buffed Storm, she is an omega, but in this game there are weaker characters that are stronger than her.
Cap America buffs are horrible, doesn’t seem like those 2 little things are going to help with anything.
Also Hela and Hawkeye nerfs are ass aswell. We’ll see ingame but they look like they can still just quick tap kill
The others seem great though, can’t wait to finally play Storm!!
except hela can't quicktap you from across the map anymore, and hawkeye can't spam arrows as quickly, the nerf overall is good imo.
I think they are pretty well measured nerfs. The Hela fall off forces Hela players to play up more, making them easier to pressure, and the Hawkeye nerf makes it so it's harder to just spam off random arrows and frag out. Them also losing anchor bonus damage unless their partner is present is also a pretty big deal, and I don't think they want to completely gut the character.
Cap on the other hand, I don't think needed much to feel better. People were calling him trash, but I have also seen a few eternity/one above all players doing well with him. He wasn't top tier, but once you figured out what you were supposed to be doing with him, you could generate a lot of value. He's an annoying backline threat, while also having an ult that functions like a defensive support ult. He's not a big fragger, but people still find themselves winning games with him for a reason. It's too bad his value doesn't always show up on the score card.
The developers are obviously testing the waters with their buffs and nerfs instead of overturning one or deleting another. The Hela and Hawkeye nerfs are justify since not only will people against them will have a better time dealing with them but players who actually like playing these characters won’t feel punished for using a character they like. As for Captain America, people are still learning how to use him effectively so just simply giving him a Health buff is good enough. Like people thought Wolverine and Hulk were bad until they realized that Wolverine is a monster at destroying tanks and Hulk is a huge disruptor for dive characters so I think it was a good call for them to see if he actually needs a buff or if the player finds a way to make his play style. Plus I prefer if they don’t go down the rabbit hole on how Overwatch balances work. Like remember how they made Sombra who was a good character into one of the most hate characters in the game because of her rework.
Dude! I’m glad to see you here. Didn’t know you started playing this game. I followed you from the Apex days lol
Namor is going cook His ice turrets is more OP and he can throw them better.
Legend, i was wondering if anyone would do this
Man I was hoping the would make it so your teammates could no longer cancel cloak’s right click ability by attacking
that actually wouldn’t be good bc u can’t touch point if everyone is invis and say someone dies who’s not invis and u invis everyone else now no one’s on point and in over time it could cost u the game
@@erifnm3164just make them glow purple while giving them immunity for the 2 seconds. Problem solved.
The cloak isn’t going to wait for his entire right click to end, he will stay in their just long enough to dodge an ult or get to high ground which usually takes a second or 2
I wanted Cap to get a boost on his dmg not his damn movement speed
As a storm main I can say that she really didn't need the buff, but us storm mains are about to go crazy.
MR. Merch be working overtime
I believe the Jeff nerf was that enemies get an earlier indicator apparently but not sure
C&D gonna be so fun now that swap animation really stopped me from learning the character it felt annoying to learn with
i was already getting 40+ kill games on storm this about to be great!
Hawkeye really needs to be able to sprint, or something like Punisher or Moonkinghts grapple hook, other wise his kit is fine imo.
Cap probably needed more of a bump, but hela nerf isn't bad and storm buff is awesome.
if wolverines damage felt slower it was likely because they normalized DPS at higher FPS
That would be assuming that the low end was the expected dps
@@Chalo122790 Which it likely was, devs design games in a console environment by default usually if it's crossplatform.
How did u not notice wolverine huge 50 hp increase
Nice see them fix jeff visual for ult. hope they fix other people ability/ults that are visually wrong
Cloak and dagger didnt need that buff wtf
Im not impressed it feels like they spent 1 hour looking at balance and not seriously looking at it. Luna Ult and Mantis need massive nerfs
Lol they don’t. They have counterplay to them.
Mantis no, and you can't abuse Luna's ult anymore by spamming
You counter one luna or mantis últ with other luna or mantis últ Its that easy
@@aries148it doesn't matter. They are the only two strategists used every single game because they are currently objectively better than all the others. They needed a nerf so you could actually run other strategists and still be competitive.
@@andrewboyer7544 Or just buff the other supports? Make supports too weak and no one will play them.
They should give Human Torch a HUGE damage buff to Venom since fire is one of Venom’s weaknesses 🔥
5:51 jeff can't catch that high a target, he can only hit the ceiling of where you were grabbing ult charge. a bit more above that is his limit
Ppl saying the dog nerf isn’t enough when they are literally also losing their 20% dmg boost
The only thing they did with Jeff is they made the hotbox more round to fit the animation
the Hela nerf is not enough. they need to change her to a projectile if they're going to keep her damage the same
I thought that they will nerf Jeff's ult more and saving teammates from dying will be impossible...
hela can no longer kill with a headshot and a body shot, effectively making it so she needs to land an extra shot to kill which is a big nerf
My girl storm needed a buff so badly. I enjoy her but my goodness she did no damage compared to everyone else!
the shield regen for cap is in 10s now it was 50 a sec
it might be faster check it out and wolverine got 50 extra hp
It doesn’t matter how many additional dashes Cloak & Dagger’s ult gets. No one is still going to stand in it anyway lol.😩
Venom gets buff
Everyone in the back: why do I hear something coming from the sky?
(The buff for venom is stronger ult and more shield from ult and when he is low)
I'm ready to main Storm, I wanted to on release but now she seems playable
Venom swing cool down? Can Jeff please not eat me when I'm flying well above him?
Whoa the buffs for C&D are abit much I’m slightly overwhelmed by house nice they are being. A faster Chang out out speed basically means faster reload speed for daggers basic dagger throw. And 4 stacks of Ult, I felt 3 was enough enough but 4, thank you.
Don't forget the 15% healing boost for season 0 ends too
Storm now pulls enemies into her ult so that’s a buff
I am a storm main and I just want to say she is good rn and in season 1 she will be great
As someone that has 70% win rate on storm with 5 hours on her im going to enjoy the new buff
No movement/maneuverability buff to Adam Warlock? The guy is one of the many marvel supermen that doesn't need a spaceship to get to another planet but in Rivals, he can't even float or even have atleast a 1% movement speed increase? Why? He needs something other than share health and heals with teammates for 4-6 seconds
Did you not test Venom wall movement?
All the Season 1 balance changes I could find from streams (tell me if you find more and I will add it)
**Wolverine :**
\-50 health buff, now has 350 base health (from 300)
**Storm :**
\-Damage buff. Can now kill a 275 health target in 5 hits without damage buff rather than 6
\-The bonus health from her ultimate now decays over time after it's done instead of going away instantly
\-(to be confirmed) damage drops off less based on distance
\-(to be confirmed) projectiles travel faster
**Captain America :**
\-Health buff, now has 675 base health (from 650)
**Cloak and Dagger :**
\-Ult now dashes 4 times instead of 3
\-(to be confirmed) switching from Cloak and Dagger form seems quicker
**Hela :**
\-5% damage nerf
\-Health nerf. Now has 250 (from 275)
**Hawkeye:**
\-5% damage nerf
**Venom :**
\-(to be confirmed) his secondary fire ability now slows more
**Luna Snow :**
\-Now has a speed limit to changing between heal and damage mode during her ult, making the extra heal exploit impossible to do
**Winter Soldier :**
\-Now has 275 health (from 250)
Your welcome
I hate to be that guy. I know Mantis is easily in the top 5 heroes right now. No debating that, but nerfing her movement speed buff is a gut punch. I’ve spent dozens of hours getting comfortable with her mechanically and it feels a bit like wasted effort. Getting changes to your main hero’s movement speed, projectile speed, projectile drop, or anything of that nature just sucks. Increase the base time to regen her seeds, reduce her self or ally damage buff %, reduce the duration of her buffs, reduce the radius of her sleep…do literally anything except this type of nerf where we have to relearn the hero’s mechanical feel.
Venom needs reduced cool downs and a better shield, preferably with minor anti cc.
All the patch notes are online now.
I thought it was pretty obvious that Cap Dash cd is now 10 seconds down from 12.
I don’t get wandas percentage damage 5-3
Her main and secondary fire are bugged but what does Reduce the percentage damage per second from 5% to 3% mean
When using Jeff what’s the cross hair specs please
3:54 i swear i started wondering to myself..."did we get a dog?"
I can't wait to play the new storm!
I wish captain's cooldowns reset when ulting
i wish captain was changed to have his base weapon change depending on his last ability i.e his throw toggles shield throw for 3 seconds his bash makes him tanky or gives him health base on dmg and leap makes him do more damage for 3 secs. cap right now does nothing great and hes mid at most right now this health buff does nothing for him except for doing nothing for longer
I was already going 25+,0-5, 25+ as Storm….. they gonna HATE me now 😈
Only here for storm wish they did more though but I’m fine with these minimal changes
Venom didn’t even get movement buffs would it had really made him op with 2 swings
Wait wait. did Storm's ulti always had suction effect? Seems like when you ulti the bots flew towards you
Yes, always
Why is there no developer patch notes? Wth hell is this?
One thing you missed. Hela and Hawkeye still have their seasonal buffs. You mentioned with Hela Nothing has changed apart from her health decrease.
I was concerned for a second when Hela and Hawkeye still did similar if not the same damage as you shown, but at 4:48, you can see they still have their seasonal buffs.
Do your best to pay attention to detail when testing things next time. But otherwise, im looking foward to Season 1 and the buffs!
He mentioned seasonal buffs at 7:09
The irony of telling someone they missed something when they literally covered that same exact sometbing in the first 10 seconds of the video.
The build he is playing on still has the team ups and team anchor abilities and they were not informed if they will change or not.
@@OmarTheGoat What about the first second of the video where they're shooting target dummies in the head for "Old" and in the torso for "New"?
@@OmarTheGoatlmaoooo
🤦
Captain didn't need more HP , he's already hard to kill , he needs help killing people , he should of got either a speed or damage boost
Cloak and Dagger 3 dashes stacked together already can outheal 3 Punishers/Starlords ult. We have 4 now LMAO.
What do you mean "there's rumours," couldn't you just check whether there's falloff in the training range?
Didnt know gaming merchant have other account talking about Marvel Rivals
Waiting for the Spider-Man buffs :,)
