Marvel Rivals just dropped Season 8 like a payload straight into the meta, and yeah, a literal T-rex named Devil Dinosaur is charging in as the new Vanguard with seven passives, a forcefield shield, and a red laser beam that screams prehistoric payback. Loki, Mantis, and Invisible Woman caught the strategist nerf hammer—illusions heal more reliably but deal less damage with Loki's ult cost bumped to 4500, Mantis trades her 12% damage boost for a flat 100 movement speed buff, and Invisible Woman's knockback push drops from 12m to 10m with damage down to 50.

This ain't some tiny tweak either; the dino's ultimate turns him into a trampling behemoth while Punisher gets to ride shotgun in a new Primal Punishment team-up, and other shifts like Rocket and White Fox buffs keep the support pool spicy without letting them play duelists. Community chatter on X is already roasting the dino as a big slow target for crits but hyping the support focus that finally makes healers heal instead of melting flanks.

Season 8 drops live with a fresh battle pass and all these changes hitting ranked hard, so strap in—your main just got reminded that supports belong in the backline, not the DPS spotlight.
