Marvel Rivals players are airing their frustrations over Season 9's excessive "visual clutter" and other issues making it difficult to enjoy

Marvel Rivals players are voicing frustrations over Season 9, particularly criticizing excessive "visual clutter" that makes team fights difficult to read. The update, which introduced fireworks-throwing mutant Jubilee, has been heavily criticized for overwhelming players with bright, colorful visual effects from various character abilities. Players have reported that the effects are nauseating, cause framerate drops on decent PCs, and make the game feel like "MMO Rivals." Beyond visual clutter, players are also complaining about team-up synergies and balance issues. The game's recent reviews on Steam have dropped to 'Mixed,' with forums full of complaints about crashes, performance issues, and wobbly balance. Players are hoping the development team will address these issues with more care in the mid-season refresh planned for August 7th.
