Marvel Rivals Patch 20260612: Devil Dinosaur Nerf, Rogue & Blade Buffs

The Timestream is in flux once again, and the battlefield is getting a cosmic recalibration in Marvel Rivals. The latest balance patch, Version 20260612, targets several heroes, notably tempering the prehistoric fury of Devil Dinosaur while reining in the long-range poke from Star-Lord and Phoenix. Meanwhile, brawlers like Rogue and Blade are receiving buffs to encourage closer engagements.
