Mid-season is here and the Marvel Rivals community is loud! In Episode 43 of Rival Banter, Luke and Seth break down the latest news, the brand-new map trailer, and dive into a massive Mid-Season Mailbag to answer your burning questions.

We start with The News: Angela’s "Ace of Spades" and Emma Frost’s "Queen of Diamonds" are hitting the shop, and we discuss the community's mixed reactions to Emma’s latest look. We also break down the Museum of Contemplation map trailer—is this the most visually stunning map yet? Plus, we address the elephant in the room: the massive community outcry for Hawkeye nerfs. Is the one-shot meta ruining the fun?

In the Mid-Season Mailbag:

Is the Jeff hate valid? Are people actually playing the Land Shark wrong?

The Deadpool Dilemma: Is he top-tier meta, or is his pick rate just high because everyone loves Wade?

Balancing the Merc: What specific nerfs or changes would we actually give Deadpool?

Map Secrets: Will the Museum of Contemplation be the hub for future character teasers?

This week in Rivals: highlights, clutches, and what we’ve been testing in-game

News roundup:  Cloak & Dagger and Winter Soldier skins (shop this week) Marvel Rivals posts an official denial of EOMM Blade confirmed not to be bugged Dev Guangguang acknowledges role imbalance but signals long timelines for fixes

Main topic — Season 3.5 review: why the two new DPS have wrecked matchmaking We explain how the new DPS additions amplify queue imbalance, create more one-sided matches, and exacerbate the “win/lose swing” that frustrates players. We cover player reaction, the evidence that matchmaking feels worse (streaks, mismatched teammates, longer recovery from bad games), and why an official denial of EOMM doesn’t resolve the community’s concerns. Then we lay out practical fixes we want to see: clearer matchmaking transparency, shorter hotfix timelines, temporary role-restricted queues or role incentives, and targeted balance patches for the new DPS.

Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 is almost here, but the patch notes have the community asking one question: What were they thinking? In Episode 45 of Rival Banter, Luke and Seth break down the "weirdest" balance patch yet.

While the meta is currently dominated by Triple Support and Poke comps, NetEase seems to have ignored the problem entirely. Instead, we're seeing ultimate buffs for heroes like Punisher, Star-Lord, and Wolverine—heroes many players feel were already in a healthy spot. We discuss why these changes feel out of touch with the actual state of the game and what it means for the upcoming ranked climb.
