Winter Solider will have less presence versus Vanguard with health damage changes but keep his impact against smaller targets.
Meanwhile, Wolverine will keep his Vanguard-shredding potential but have less crowd control.
The biggest buffs are coming to Mr Fantastic and Moon Knight.

Second,Rivalswill receive the first big shake-up tosome of its best team-ups.
To balance the others,the Magneto/Witch and Thor/Storm/Cap team-ups have been removed.
To compensate for this slightly, the pick/ban feature will now start in Gold III rather than Diamond.
Lastly, Competitive will have a smaller map pool that will rotate with all the maps in Quick Play.

This is akin to whatFortnitedid when it first implemented its battle pass system.
The change to a hero a month is also monumental.
Overall, Season 2 is another big step towards the successful future ofRivals.
It may not feel as big as Season 1, but it will be no less important.
All the changes coming in Season 2 ofMarvel Rivalscan be experienced when the season starts on April 11.
