Marvel Rivals burst onto the scene with a bang, attracting hundreds of thousands of concurrent players on Steam. This surge in popularity came at the expense of Overwatch 2, which saw a significant dip in its player base. However, the launch of Marvel Rivals was marred by a critical and highly frustrating bug.
We previously discussed how, on low-end PCs with lower frame rates, certain heroes in Marvel Rivals experience reduced movement speed and deal less damage. The game's developers have acknowledged this issue, commonly referred to as the "fps pay-to-win bug," and have assured players that they are actively working on a solution.

Resolving this bug is no simple task. The developers have indicated that a temporary fix will be implemented in Marvel Rivals Season 1 to enhance the movement mechanics. However, addressing the damage issue will take more time, and no definitive timeline has been provided for a complete resolution.
Given these circumstances, our recommendation stands: when playing Marvel Rivals, it's advisable to lower your graphics settings to maximize your frame rate. This approach will help you avoid any in-game disadvantages caused by the bug.
