NetEase Resolves Peni Parker Bug Fix Backlash in Marvel Rivals

After community outcry over a March 13 update that weakened Peni Parker's Arachno-Mines, NetEase has restored their original functionality and pledged to address broader tank balance concerns.

The March 13 update for Marvel Rivals included a bug fix for Peni Parker's Arachno-Mines, which unintentionally reduced their effectiveness by making them easier to destroy.
The changes led to widespread frustration, with players describing Peni as 'unplayable' and calling for a rollback to restore her viability as a Vanguard hero.
NetEase acknowledged the issue on March 20 and implemented a fix within nine hours, restoring the mines' original functionality to address the backlash.
The Peni Parker situation has reignited discussions about the imbalance between tank and duelist roles in Marvel Rivals, with tanks receiving less attention and support in the game's meta.
While the quick resolution has been praised, players continue to voice concerns about the lack of prioritization for tanks and the need for broader balance improvements.
