  • REWORKThe ThingSeason 5 - Nov 2025

    Leap and Battle BlitzF reworked to support allies and weaken enemies

    The Thing's Embattled LeapE now cuts damage for nearby allies and Battle Blitz makes nearby enemies vulnerable, at the cost of The Thing's own damage reduction; Stone HaymakerRMB swaps base damage for max-health damage.

    • Embattled Leap now grants 20% damage reduction to all allies within 5m of landing (removed from single target) and reduces his own damage reduction to 20%.
    • Battle Blitz removes his self damage reduction and applies 20% vulnerability to enemies within 5m.
    • Stone Haymaker base damage reduced from 90 to 55, loses 50 bonus health, but now deals 8% of enemies' max health as bonus damage and grants him bonus health equal to damage dealt (up to 100).

    TipThe Thing shifts to area-of-effect support and enemy weakening. You'll heal from landing Stone Haymaker hits but lose the raw damage spike.

    Official source
  • BUFFGrootSeason 5 - Nov 2025

    Official source

    Official source
  • REWORKMagnetoSeason 5 - Nov 2025

    Bulwark cooldowns separated, shield values cut

    Magneto's Metal BulwarkE and Iron BulwarkF now have separate cooldowns, so using one no longer locks out the other, but both shields absorb less damage.

    Separate cooldowns of Metal Bulwark and Iron Bulwark so using one doesn't trigger the other's cooldown; reduce their shield value from 250 to 200.

    TipMore flexible shielding but weaker shields - use the separate cooldowns for better defense rotation.

    Official source
  • REWORKMister FantasticSeason 5 - Nov 2025

    • Bombard Mode projectile speed increased from 150 to 180 m/s.

  • BUFFAngelaSeason 5 - Nov 2025

    Mobility and Ultimate Durability

    Official source

    Official source
  • REWORKHulkSeason 5 - Nov 2025

    TipChain your Gamma Burst hits to reset your shield - offense and defense are now linked.

    Official source
  • BUFFPhoenixSeason 5 - Nov 2025

    Official source
  • BUFFSpider-ManSeason 5 - Nov 2025

    Web-slinging offense lifted

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › Placement Matches

  • From Season 5 onward, your first 10 ranked matches are Placement Matches. Your performance determines your starting tier.

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › 1.1 Predicted vs. Actual Rank

  • • During placement matches, you will receive a predicted rank reflecting your estimated skill level. This predicted rank is used for matchmaking and team formation during placement matches.
  • • Predicted rank is not your final rank. After completing all 10 placement matches, you will be assigned your actual rank, which may differ from your predicted rank.
  • • If you don't finish all placement matches this season, you will not receive any season rewards.
  • • If you complete placement matches in the first half of the season, you'll keep that rank in the second half. If you don't finish placements in the first half, you must complete them in the second half to be eligible for ranked rewards.
  • Reward Rules:
  • • To earn the Gold tier costume reward for a half-season, you must complete 10 ranked matches in that season's half and finish at Gold rank or higher at the end of the half-season.
  • • To receive season-end rewards, you must complete placement matches and meet the required rank at season's end.
  • Example:
  • If you finish 9 placement matches in the first half of the season with an estimated rank of Platinum III, but don't complete the 10th match, you won't get the Gold costume reward. If you complete your 10th placement match in the second half of the season, you'll be eligible for season-end rewards but not both halves' Gold costumes.
  • If you play 10 ranked matches in both halves of the season, you'll be eligible for both Gold costumes and the season-end rewards.
  • Additionally, if you don't finish 10 placement matches in Season 5, your Season 6 initial estimated rank for placement matches will be Platinum III.

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › 1.2 First-Time Placement

  • When doing placements for the first time (regardless of season), your initial estimated rank is determined by two criteria:
  • • Initial Estimated Rank A: If you played 10 or more ranked matches in Season 4, your Season 5 placement matches estimated starting rank is your Season 4 final rank minus 3 divisions. Please note that players ranked in the Celestial II, Celestial I, Eternity, and One Above All in Season 4 will be uniformly reset to Grandmaster II as their initial estimated rank for the new season. Players in Bronze III, Bronze II, Bronze I, and Silver III will start at Bronze III as their initial estimated rank.
  • • Initial Estimated Rank B: We'll also check your highest historical rank from any previous season with 10+ matches, subtract some sub-tiers, and set this as your historical initial rank for placement matches (capped at Platinum II).
  • Your higher result from A or B becomes your initial predicted rank.
  • Example: If A gives Gold I and B gives Platinum III, you start placement matches at Platinum III.
  • If you do not complete 10 placement matches in Season 5, the same rules will apply the next time you do placements.

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › 1.3 Subsequent Placements

  • If you've completed 10 placements and received a true rank in a previous season, future initial estimated ranks are based on your last season's final rank minus 3 sub-tiers.
  • Again, players ranked in the Celestial II, Celestial I, Eternity, and One Above All will be uniformly reset to Grandmaster II as their initial estimated rank for the new season. Players in Bronze III, Bronze II, Bronze I, and Silver III will start at Bronze III as their initial estimated rank.
  • In such circumstances, the highest rank achieved previously will no longer be taken into account.

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › 1.4 New Players

  • If you have never played 10 ranked matches in a season, you are considered a new player and will start at Silver III estimated rank.

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › 2 Match Results

  • Your final placement after completing placement matches is closely tied to wins and losses across the ten matches. Each victory or defeat moves your current estimated rank and shows roughly where you stand. After all placement matches:
  • •You can be placed up to 1–2 divisions above your previous season's final rank, but you will not be placed higher than Celestial I.
  • •Your lowest possible placement varies by tier but will not be lower than Bronze III.
  • •If you go 5 wins and 5 losses, your final placement will be close to your initial estimated rank.

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › 3.1 Team Restrictions

  • While any player is in placement matches, they may only queue in teams of up to three players. For teams that include at least one player in placement matches, the difference between the highest-ranked and lowest-ranked player in the party must be less than 3 divisions. If stricter party limits apply (for example, if the party contains players at Celestial/Eternity/One Above All tiers), those stricter limits will take precedence.

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › 3.2 Matchmaking Rules

  • If a team contains any player in placement matches, the matchmaking will use the highest-ranked player in the team as the search anchor when finding teammates and opponents.

12 Nov 2025 › Marvel Rivals Version 20251114 Patch Notes: Season 5 Begins! › 4 Penalty Rules

  • 1. If a player in placement matches experiences a disconnect, reconnect timeout, inactivity, or similar violation, penalties depend on timing:
  • • If the match ends within 90 seconds of their disconnect:
  • Normal settlement based on match result and stats; no penalty.
  • • If the match ends more than 90 seconds after their disconnect, that player will be marked as a loss for the placement match, will receive a ranked suspension, and an offense count will be recorded, regardless of match outcome.
  • • If the player is judged to have deliberately AFK: if the team wins, no penalty is applied; if the team loses, the placement match result is result is calculated, they receive a ranked suspension, and an offense count is recorded.
  • 2. If squad members (members of your stack) of a player in placement matches experience a disconnect, reconnect timeout, or similar violation, penalties depend on timing:
  • • If the match ends within 90 seconds of their disconnect:
  • Normal settlement based on match result and stats; no penalty to the squad member.
  • • If the match ends more than 90 seconds after the squad member disconnects: Victory: normal settlement; no penalty. Defeat: A loss will be recorded for the placement match player, but no ranked suspension.
  • 3. If teammates (other players you get matched with) of a player in placement matches experience a disconnect, reconnect timeout, or similar violation, penalties depend on timing:
  • • If the match ends within 90 seconds of the teammate's disconnect:
  • Normal settlement based on match result and stats.
  • • If the match ends more than 90 seconds after the teammate disconnects: Victory: normal settlement; no penalty. Defeat: The match shall be deemed invalid, meaning the data from this match shall not be counted towards the rank calculation for the placement match player.
