**NEW YORK, NY** – A new balance patch for the mobile game Marvel Rivals has arrived, focusing primarily on boosting the underperforming Human Torch. According to the in-game data tracker RivalsMeta, Human Torch has been one of the weakest heroes, boasting a win rate comparable to the consistently low-performing Black Widow.
The patch addresses Human Torch’s weak solo capabilities, improving his primary fire attack and fireball travel time. While his synergy with Storm remains a powerful team-up, the developers aim to make him a more viable solo character. His ultimate ability, the fiery tornado, is also receiving a damage buff.
Other changes include minor buffs to Iron Man’s explosive damage and adjustments to Dagger’s healing projectiles in Cloak and Dagger, shifting the focus to single-target healing. These changes, however, are unlikely to significantly alter the current meta dominated by tank-heavy team compositions. While not yet reaching the level of the Overwatch GOATS meta, the reliance on tank heroes remains a prominent strategy. The ongoing strength of Cloak and Dagger, despite the tweaks, continues to be a point of discussion among players.
