Okay, so getting into the Marvel Rivals patch notes that are, well, has been leaked as far as on the internet and people covering it. Of course, I was going to react to it while I was streaming, but it wasn't in my subbox. But of course, shameless plug, you know, make sure to click my link to your my bio and sign up to my Patreon because people who sign up to my Patreon have like direct access to me and things of that nature where they could text me and suggest things that nature. And this popped up. They was like, hey, there's a new patch notes that was leaked in the public as far as the Marvel rivals community. So I was like, hey, I might as well cover it. And I know I'm not on stream, but we're going to act like I am because I'm not giving intro. So with that being said, let's get into the new patch notes and Marvel rivals.

And of course, I saw the tweet that they put out. But of course, I like this guy's video. I think it's Deboil. The boy. I don't know. I said this. Dill Bob's. I think that's how he said.

is d y l b o b z so if you look that up on youtube you'd be able to follow his man make sure to hit that like button you know i mean hit the like button just like that you know what i'm saying you know i got practice what you preach you know what i'm saying so anyways new patch notes and marvels are well has been leaked so take this with a grain of salt there's not the these are not the official patch notes but we're pretty sure that these are the actual patch notes because um usually the leakers are pretty on point with these type of things and if you don't know the reason why we're covering this so intensely and so with the

fine tooth comb I think that's how they say right anyways is because this particular game is the seventh most play game on PlayStation and of course Xbox is nowhere to be found because they don't play games but with that besides you know besides that point

is also one two three four five six seven eight it's a ninth most play game on Steam with 119,000 players current currently playing on Steam and it had a 24 hour peak of 308,000. So with that being said, let's get into these new patch notes and see what the latest is on the most addicting game in the world right now.

Yo, what's going on guys? DeWobbs here. Welcome back to a brand of video. We have the early patch notes for the midseason update for Marvel rivals. Now, these were translated from Chinese and they were really awkward. But luckily, XOX leak did put them into much easier to follow along terms. I did record a video before this, but I've re-recorded it because it's way easier to understand this one. So let's look at the patch notes because they are changing I'm not going to be pausing this too much because it's a pretty long video, but we're just going to let her rock. So for the vanguard's Venom's frenzied arrival has been changed from vertical knockback to inward's knockback at a 75 degree angle. And his ultimate will now cost 2,500 instead of 2,800.

So almost a 10% decrease, meaning you'll get it faster. Captain America, they've added the ability to use absolute will for defense during jumping. Basically, you can use your, your shield while in the air. Also, I feel like that's going to be fired. Projectile speed has been increased from 60 meters. Like, okay, I said I was going to pause. I lied. Because I used to play cap and then I realized this man can't hit nobody.

Like, as far as the damage and actually doing damage, Captain America hits like a healer. And this man's a tank. I'd be confused. I was running up on people getting in four, five, six hits. And they still got half a health bar. I'm like, hold on now. Am I not a tank?

So I was, you know, I had to switch. So now I was. I'll play strange. I'll play strange. And of course, cloak and dagger, which we're going to get to that in a second. But, you know, RIPs to my cloak and dagger mains out there.

But let's see, let's keep going. ...meters to second to 80 meters per second. And the ejection speed after a hit has been increased from 100 to 150 meters per second. So it's much faster. And apparently they're just making Captain America a lot better to use. Like, he just feels a lot better while playing him.

Thor, they've removed the cool down after the Rune Awakening skill duration. Let me tell you that something. That right there, what he just said, I think that's the biggest deal out of all these league patch notes because Thor is OP. Why in the world is he getting a buff? Am I tripping? This man's going to go from his three hammer type of ability, right? Where he's throwing lightning, throwing the hammer, right into the three hammer ability where he's throwing the hammer and throwing lightning because there's no cool down anymore.

So now you're getting health and just throwing hands throughout the whole fight. I don't know how this is not seemingly broken but I guess we just got to see it in action because from first glance it's like if somebody's really good and they're easily building up hammers they don't have to wait for their cool down they could just go right back into three hammer mode

and just get health while they're just giving somebody hands, feet and elbows you know what I'm saying? But maybe I'm tripping so anyways let's get back into it. And right now I'm currently like plat three so I'm not like a one above all type players so I wouldn't say like I'm one of the best players

but I think I'm pretty decent you know what I looked at the stats and they said I was better than like 80% of people on the server, you know, as far as being in Platinum 3. So, you know what I mean? I know a little bit about the game, just a little bit, you know what I mean? And Shameless plug, Analytic Dreams video on Spotify. See my Marvel rivals gameplay.

I'll be playing that, you know, I rose to platinum, you know, solo cue in which I keep hearing every single video tell you, oh, you need a partner, you need a partner, which I think I probably do need a partner if I want to get to, like, Grandmaster or something. But right now, I've solo cued all the way to platinum. And to even get above that, I've had, I've even had people, it's. my last side tantric. I've even had people in my shorts comment, hey, what's your gamer tag? I'll play with you. And I forgot to hit them back. So it really is on me. Like, I really got reached back out to these people who's just straight demons trying to carry me in Marvel rivals. Anyways, let's continue. And so after Rune Awakening, you no longer have to wait. Even if you got all three of your charges back and you want to pop it again, you used to have a cool down. But now you won't have a cool down. You can

pop it again and just go crazy with it, which is pretty nice. It's good. It's a better quality of life change really. For Groot, his walls can now be placed up to 18 meters instead of 15 meters. So just further away. Again, nice changes. Why did they give Grude a buff? Primary fire now does 40 explosive damage instead. And for his metallic curtain, the energy cost is 65 instead of 50. And the maximum duration is 1.5 seconds. So basically, you can't hold your shield out for us long. Dr. Stranger's base HP has been nerved from 650 down to 600. And that is the Vanguard changes. Next up, we have a lot. See, even though I made Doctor Strange, that changed really didn't do too much for me.

Because, I mean, I have the big shield. It's really not too much that at 650 to 600 does besides, you know, seemingly look like a Nerf. But as long as they ain't touch his abilities, I'm straight. A lot of duelist changes. So Iron Fest, his base HP has been increased from 250 to 300. Then for Jekundo, his first, second and fifth attack damage has been reduced from 32 to 30. His third and fourth damage reduced from 16 to 15.

And his sixth damage reduced from 55 to 15. So they've decreased his damage, but they've made him much more survivable. So the cool down time for each hit has been increased from one second to 1.5 seconds, and the damage of each hit of the sun punch has been decreased from 19 to 10th. Like I said, less damage. However, he's more survivable because he now gets bonus HP provided with his harmony recovery up to 150. No longer just a 50 bonus health increase. 150 health increase, taking him all the way to...

I feel like Iron Fist is not even that much of a pivotal character, especially if you know how to play around them. I think the biggest detriment as far as divers is a slylock. When slyke gets into your back line, and maybe GGs. But do less damage, which I think is more balanced. For Mr. Fantastic, his flexible elongation, the spell field has been increased from 2.5 to 5 meters,

and it now knocked enemies outwards after landing. So when you pull yourself to enemies, enemies within a 5 meter radius will now be pushed away. The charge has been increased from 8 second to 10 seconds, so the cooldown's been slightly increased. For his ultimate, the damage has been increased from 50 to 70, and it now takes longer to charge the ultimate. I'm going to call it right now. I feel like Mr. Fantastic is still going to be trash. 50 damage at 10 meters, which I think is okay.

Iron Man, his uni beam damage has been increased from 120 to 140 per second, and in the armor overdrive version, it's increased from 180 to 190 per second. So they've made the beam even stronger. All right, a little slight buff to 10, man. It's been increased by 25 to 275. His explosive arrows damage have been decreased from 20 to 15. However, the explosive damage has been increased from 25 to 32. His crescent slash cooldown has been decreased from 15 to 12 seconds. I've seen a lot of Hellas and Storms being banned more than I seen like Hellas and Hawkeyes.

So I guess Hawkeye may not be as OP anymore, but I don't know. Well, not way faster, but a bit faster. For Storm, her wind blade damage at 30. Now this right here on Black History Month. Come on, Nets, E's. What are we doing? Y'all nerfing storm on Black History Month? I know it may seem ignorant.

Let me tell you some. They are nerffing her to you know what in back. Because look at this. This is insane. All these notes are all nerves, except for, I mean, the team boots. Like, who's really trying to help their team when they're DPS? Like, let's be honest. All the people who primarily play DPS are just looking out for themselves.

trying to get kills and then blaming the healer or blaming the tank for not soaking up enough damage or not giving up enough hills right the DPS is like the divas like in the NFL the DPS is like the wide receivers you know what I'm saying they just out here and doing whatever and if they mess up it's your fault you know what I'm saying so anyways so changing this to team based abilities I don't know about this I feel like it's a huge nerve has been reduced from 70 to 60 percent her speed boost for herself I feel like her pick rate wasn't even there high anyways. I didn't run into a lot of storms. So, the goddess boost. Self-boost damage decreased from 30 to 25%.

Okay, this Star Lord one's wrong. It's his movement ability has been buffed. So instead of having 1,200 fuel in his tank, he essentially has 1,800. So he's got a 50% increase in his fuel. So he can actually fly for more periods of time. They had this one wrong. Scarlet Witch, her ultimate, 100 bonus HP, has now applied when she pops her rule. So she's a lot better at surviving when doing her rules. So definitely be careful of Scarlet Witch in the next half of the season. But this health also decays at 50 per second after Biel ends. So you keep it for a couple of seconds.

Spider-Man's web shooters recharge time has been decreased. I ain't a lot. I was thinking about picking up Spider-Man, but I'm not trying to get called the hardy art, especially on Black History, so I'm not going to pick up Spider-Man because you already know. As far as the mains that get it the most, just simply out picking the character,

I'll have to say is one, Spider-Man, to Moon Knight and it probably three Jeff I ain't gonna lie if you pick Jeff even I'm gonna have to start hating on you because why are you doing that? He's from three seconds down to 2.5 seconds. For Moonite, his ultimates, Conchus fist speed has been reduced

and they've corrected the damage logic so they've removed 75 damage from being in the middle of the spell and each fist now does 150 damage. So basically they've just corrected the way the damage works it seemed like it was doing double damage before I think Now it's going to actually do it properly. And yeah, it should just work a lot better, but it's still going to be really strong.

Black Widow, her rifle capacity has been increased from 8 to 15. So she's got more ammo. And her ultimate, the slow effect has been reduced from 80 to 55%. So it won't slow you as much, which is better. Also, they're adding a new effect on hit enemies with focusing a hole, but they didn't really mention much about that. So I don't know what that's going to be. For magic, the Eldridge Whirl damage has been increased from 45 to 40,

and the Demon's rage damage has been decreased from 80 to 72. The ultimate cost has been reduced from 3,700 to 3,400. So you get your ultimate a bit faster, but do slightly less damage with your attacks. Heller, the soul drainer damage fall off at 30 meters has changed from 70 to 80%. Honestly, I didn't know what this meant either. Then we have these strategists. For Adam Warlock, his primary fire... Now this, this is where it gets serious.

Higher damage has been increased from 55 to 60, and the 60% damage fall off at 40 meters up from 50%. So there's a slightly higher damage fall off by the sounds of it, but he does more damage. Soul Bond. Healing has been increased from 10 per second to 15 second. Cloak and dagger's ultimate has been completely changed. So it's now...

Sad down history, man. And also... Pour one out for all the cloak and dagger mains out there, including me, man. Sadden history. Anyways, let's keep going. You can no longer stack the ultimate. So you can't stack...

You know what's so funny. Now I got to get on my soapbox. Playing cloak and dagger, you realize how a lot of people don't even know that when you're going back and forth, if you're supposed to stand in that lane because it stacks the heels. They don't even know that. And then they get killed. It'd be like healing diff. I'm like, hold up now.

Ain't no way. I got a double double like I'm Anthony Davis and they're blaming the healers. Anyways, let's keep going. Only one lane works at a time to give whatever it is. That's going to completely change close all. The dash lanes also have been reduced from 10 seconds to eight seconds and, the pause between each dash has been reduced from 1 to 0.67. So basically, she won't pause for as long, which I think is good because it means Magneto

will have a harder time, you know, killing her during the Ultimate, which I think is fair since the Ultimate has been nerfed a great deal. A great deal. I'm about to start playing Luna and Mantis. I'm about to switch it up. Her alt takes longer to get. Fair enough. Loki, his alt takes longer to get.

And he's got a increase in ammo by two. For Mantis, her ultimate bonus HP has been reduced from 100 to 75, and finally Invisible Woman's has also been increased, so it takes longer to get. So a lot of changes there. We also have the teamups. Now, I don't know if these team up changes are coming in the midseason. I think they are. I saw the Ironman one, but they nerve Seilock.

I didn't see that one. Teleport time reduced from. Oh, they gave Seilock a... That's a buff, right? Am I tripping? Bonus HP conversion increase. That looks like a buff to me. Why are they buffing Seilock?

Like isn't she like the best diver in the game? I don't understand. Also have the team ups now. I don't know if these team up changes are coming in the midseason. I think they are. Full moon, symbiobarne, frozen cheese. Full moon. That was like a whole new moon night.

Well, not an alt, but like, this is a team up. Who is he team over? Oh, he teams with a cloak because I'm sure I'll play club. I don't know. Maybe that change is invisible to something else. Like maybe full moon. is this new effect right here instead of him going invisible. They are.

So the gamma team up, so this is for Hulk and Iron Man. The damage has been reduced for the UniBeam. So basically, you won't have as much of a damage boost. But obviously, Iron Man's Uni beam is getting buffed anyway. Also, Hulk HP gain from being an anchor has been reduced from 150 to 100. For psionic disc, the rewind ability for Magic and Siloch and Black Panther, the teleport time has been reduced from five seconds to three seconds. So it only rewind you three seconds.

Wow, the best divers in the game getting the buff. I mean, well, my man, Spider-Man, going to get some love. I mean, come on now. Five-star difficulty and they don't even want to buff the man. That's crazy. The bonus HP conversion has been increased from 0.5 to 0.8, so you'll gain more health back. Full moon.

So this is the Cloak and Dagger team up with Moon Knight. Oh, okay. He's explaining it. It will now have a new effect where it heals you for 25 healing per second. So when you're inside that, you will heal. That is honestly insane. Oh, that's fire. Symbiotic bond.

So for Venom, Spider-Man and Penny. So the skill time has reduced from four seconds to one second. For Penny, it's two seconds instead. So basically, it only... And once again, take these with a grand assault. This is always subject to change because it's just leaks. I mean, he literally put in this one, I think. Like, so, you know, make sure to take this with a grain of salt.

Lass, literally a second for Spider-Man, which is crazy. The 50% damage reduction has been removed, though, and there's now complete invincibility. And then we have Frozen Chi, healing increased from 50 to 75, and the enemy slow effect increased from 20 to 30. So there you go. That is the new patch notes. Obviously, that early. All right. So that's basically a shout out to what was this?

Doe Boys or Bill Bob's. Make sure to go follow him. D-Y-L-B-O-B-Z. Make sure to go follow him for more of a rival's content, things that nature. And at the end of day, you know, make sure to follow me for the latest gaming and music news. But with that being said, I do believe the standout of these patch notes is Thor. not having a cool down on his three hammer ability. I think that's just ultimately insane.

But of course, for me, personally, I'm affected the most. Now I'm at to choose a whole new main. So I have to leave it up to y'all. Do you all think, because I already know how to play Luna. Y'all think my second healer should be Mantis or Loki? Because those are the two I'm looking at right now. I kind of want to try out Loki. I feel like Loki's for the thinkers of the game.

So I'm trying to, you know, I'm trying to get in there and get out because I love playing Dr. Strange because he has so many things in his toolkit. And that's why I like playing cloak too, because technically two players, if you play it right. It's like half DPS. Not half DPS, but, you know, as far as adding your touch of DPS, you can. As far as, it's more like a 2080 split, 30-70 split. So with that being saying, click my link to your bio. Let me know one of my social medias.

What do you think about this new pack, well, these leaked patch notes for Marvel rivals? And what is your biggest takeaway from the entire leaked patch notes?
