Marvel Rivals's strong launch, boasting hundreds of thousands of concurrent Steam players, contrasted sharply with Overwatch 2's decline. However, a significant and frustrating bug threatens the game's balance.
We previously reported on a performance-related issue where lower frame rates on less powerful PCs result in slower hero movement and reduced damage output. The developers have acknowledged this "fps pay-to-win" bug and are actively working on a solution.

Unfortunately, a complete fix is proving challenging. Season 1 will likely see a temporary patch improving movement, while a fix for the damage discrepancy will take longer, with no firm release date currently available.
Therefore, our recommendation remains: prioritize maximum frame rate over graphical fidelity in Marvel Rivals to avoid a competitive disadvantage.
