With Marvel Rivals Season 1.5 just days away, we have finally been told what to expect in the update, and it looks great. Today, in the Dev talk, we learned that the in-game currency would be getting a massive overhaul, a nerf to the three-strategist meta, and tons of changes to basically all the heroes in the game.
Currency Change
The main change that stands out to me is the update that will be coming to the in-game currency which could really do with an overhaul. The whole thing system is pretty strange with there being 3 currency types not including currency for limited-time events. One of the currencies the gold Lattice is only used to convert real money into units of the currency to buy units.
With the new system, players can now convert their leftover chrono tokens (the battle pass currency) into units which can be used to buy cosmetics from the item shop.
“We’ve heard your feedback about excess Chrono Tokens and how frustrating it can be when they don’t carry over. Now, you can convert those excess Chrono Tokens into Units. If you purchase the Luxury Battle Pass and redeem all its rewards, you’ll be able to convert any leftover Chrono Tokens for Units at a specific ratio.”
Season 1.5
As for the rest of the mid-season’s changes, we can expect to get two new heroes those being The Thing and Human Torch who will be coming alongside a much-needed new map Central Park. So now I won’t have to escort the payload on Tokyo 2099 AS MUCH so It should make the game a bit more refreshing.
And FINALLY, they are clamping down on the 3 strategists matter the current boogie man of rank. Now all Strategists with frequent ultimate namely Luna, Mantis, Cloak and Dagger will take longer to charge their ults. So now we won’t be hearing “Us Against the World” 5 billion times per match.
