Marvel Rivals players are expressing concerns over the game's seasonal boost system, which automatically buffs specific characters' attributes.

The game, which attracted 10 million players within 72 hours of launch, implements character-specific boosts that significantly impact gameplay balance. Currently, heroes like Scarlet Witch and Iron Fist receive substantial damage increases, while characters like Hawkeye benefit from a 20% boost to their abilities.

Players have discovered these boosts are permanent throughout the season, not just during Team-Up activations as some initially believed. This realization has led to growing frustration within the community, with many calling it a "braindead mechanic" that needs removal.

Key concerns include:

• Uneven character balance
• Overreliance on Duelist characters
• Lack of transparency about the system
• Future impact when boosts expire

The removal of these boosts would significantly affect certain characters:

• Spider-Man and Magik would struggle with damage output
• Venom would lose 150 health points
• Currently boosted characters would return to baseline performance

The developer's silence on this matter has only intensified community concerns about the long-term impact on game balance and competitive play.
