The last few days have been quite stressful for some Marvel Rivals players. NetEase had completely broken Peni Parker, making her kit borderline useless, which resulted in numerous complaints. The Vanguard was nerfed into oblivion, purely by accident, but the development team reacted quickly, releasing a patch to fix the hero.

Interestingly, NetEase needed less than a day to diagnose the issue and fix it. The entire process was done flawlessly, earning the developers massive praise from the community.

Peni Parker mains were well aware of the struggle the hero recently went through. The tank was drastically nerfed, as her mines were exposed and easily destroyed by enemies, which should have never been the case. This made the character less effective on the battlefield, which resulted in lower pick and win rates.

Fortunately, the Marvel Rivals community reacted to this issue, asking the developer to fix it. Not even 10 hours after a Reddit post with the issue went rival, NetEase released a fix, patching Peni Parker and making her effective once again. This move has earned the development team a lot of praise, as releasing the fix so quickly is very impressive.

Many players praised the developer for the swift response and transparency, as well as the dedication to improving the game. The community is appreciative of the developers’ communication throughout this issue and believes that this should be a standard for other developers in the gaming industry.

With NetEase in charge, there is no doubt that Marvel Rivals has a bright future. The game has been out for roughly four months, with the developer delivering outstanding results, and we’re hopeful that this trend will continue.
