Mid-season is here and the Marvel Rivals community is loud! In Episode 43 of Rival Banter, Luke and Seth break down the latest news, the brand-new map trailer, and dive into a massive Mid-Season Mailbag to answer your burning questions.

We start with The News: Angela’s "Ace of Spades" and Emma Frost’s "Queen of Diamonds" are hitting the shop, and we discuss the community's mixed reactions to Emma’s latest look. We also break down the Museum of Contemplation map trailer—is this the most visually stunning map yet? Plus, we address the elephant in the room: the massive community outcry for Hawkeye nerfs. Is the one-shot meta ruining the fun?

In the Mid-Season Mailbag:

Is the Jeff hate valid? Are people actually playing the Land Shark wrong?

The Deadpool Dilemma: Is he top-tier meta, or is his pick rate just high because everyone loves Wade?

Balancing the Merc: What specific nerfs or changes would we actually give Deadpool?

Map Secrets: Will the Museum of Contemplation be the hub for future character teasers?
