Marvel Rivals Winter Celebration Patch Notes — Hero & Map Bug Fixes
Marvel Rivals has been out for a couple of weeks and has received a mostly positive reception. There is currently a heavy debate regarding the need for a role queue (which pro-role queue fans are losing badly), but overall, the game's launch has been a resounding success with casual players seemingly loving it.
Alongside the Winter Celebration Event starting on December 20, a patch has gone live on December 19 to bring various bug fixes to the game. Bugs with certain maps, heroes, and the UX have been addressed.
