The entire Thor and Jeff controversy in Marvel Rivals explained
Image via NetEase Games. Season 2.5 in Marvel Rivals is a matter of time now. With brand new content like Combat Chest and addition of Ultron, the game has also planned a lot of balance changes as well. Many of the characters are getting their respective buffs and nerfs, but it seems fans couldn't stand the upcoming changes of Thor and Jeff the Land Shark. For any multiplayer PvP shooter, striking a proper balance between the characters and their abilities has always been the main challenge for the developers. However, in order to maintain that, sometimes some characters become OP, and sometimes some characters face harsh destiny. In similar fashion, fans are hugely disappointed with the upcoming changes on those two characters. Marvel Rivals: The Thor and Jeff Controversy Since NetEase Games revealed the patch notes of Season 2.5 , fans became utterly disgusted with the changes made on Thor and Jeff the Land Shark. Characters like Captain America, Emma Frost, and many more are getting nerfs. But those never stirred controversy the way the former two characters did. However, NetEase has addressed the issue via Twitter and after seeing this explanation, it can be clearly understood that the upcoming changes on Thor and Jeff can't be marked simply as buffs or nerfs. And that is where the main problem arised. Fans can't even understand if it will go positively for those two characters, as far as the upcoming changes are concerned. That is why they are concerned about the future of these two characters. The fans even went on to post a petition on for Marvel Rivals to scrap the upcoming changes. So, what are the upcoming changes to these two characters which have sparked so much debate? For Thor, the Hammer Throw ability has now got a 6-second cooldown and the damage has also been decreased. Not only that, his survivability, which is Thor's biggest vulnerability, is also decreased as well. In the case of Jeff the Land Shark, its primary ability Joyful Splash will now damage enemies but his allies will now get less healing. Also, its Healing Bubble charges have been decreased from 6 to 3. As NetEase has leaned towards making Jeff a supportive healer, its groundbreaking ultimate ability, It's Jeff, will only close 450 energy instead of 4000, in turn granting bonus health for its allies. These are the changes fans are mostly worried about. NetEase has tagged these changes as reworks , but fans fear these 'reworks' will decrease the pick rate of these character even more, and they might be stacked under other overpowered games forever.

What is the Combat Chest in Marvel Rivals and how to get it?
Image via NetEase Games. There's been a flurry of new content in Marvel Rivals right now. First, It was the Chrono Shield Cards. Now, NetEase Games has unveiled yet another brand new aspect in the game, which is the Combat Chest. This new in-game component is going to be similar to the Battle Pass. With Season 2.5 planned to be released on May 30, 2025, a lot of things are lined-up to be revealed via this mid-season refresh update. The main highlight of this update has to be the arrival of Ultron in the game as a playable character. This upcoming character is also getting a new outfit as well, along with Groot. Besides, a lot of characters are getting their respective buffs and nerfs. Combat Chest in Marvel - What is it and how to get it? The Combat Chest is a new reward system in Marvel Rivals which works almost exactly like the Battle Pass in the game. However, there is a significant difference. Unlike the standard Battle Pass which progresses by spending Chrono Tokens, the Combat Chest progresses by playing matches. Another interesting quality of this new rewards system is that it doesn't expire at all and players can continue digging rewards from it without any time restraints. Now the question is, how to get it? If you don't want to spend your money on the game besides the Battle Pass, then you can sit relaxed as the Combat Chest will still reward you, without spending a single penny. However, that's the free version of the Combat Chest, and the rewards will also be low-tiered, like the Emma Frost Make It Rain Emote. But if you purchase the Premium version of the Combat Chest by spending 690 Lattice, which costs around $7, then you can treat yourself with some Advanced rewards like the Storm Kingdom Savior MVP. Players need to keep in mind that the Combat Chest will be available until July 11, 2025. But if players activate the Combat Chest before that, then it will stay forever in their accounts and there will be no time limit to claim rewards through it. Players can progress through the Combat Chest even after it gets unavailable, but it needs to be purchased and activated before that. The Combat Chest in Marvel Rivals is going to be released on May 30, 2025 at 9 AM UTC on all platforms, along with the release of the Season 2.5 .
