The primary focus is on reducing the effectiveness of long-range poke from heroes like Phoenix and Star-Lord while curbing the dominance of Devil Dinosaur and Black Cat. Conversely, close-range brawlers like Angela, Rogue, and Blade have received survivability and mobility buffs to encourage aggressive playstyles. Additionally, several Strategists like Adam Warlock and Deadpool have seen improvements to their healing throughput, while Ultron and Gambit's offensive utility has been toned down.
