A new balance patch has been released for C&C Rivals, after almost two years! We did not get any official communication about this one, so it was likely an unintentional early release. However, for the time being, we have compiled some patch notes and rigorously tested every unit to determine what has changed (credit to Omeleet). It is possible things were left out, so please let us know if you detect something else has changed so we can investigate!

The msv is definitely a nerf not a tweak. Going from 50% to 5% attack speed effective kills the purpose of the msv. Just as I was starting to actually use the msv it gets nerfed. Well I guess it's back to my typical boring deck that I play with.
ReplyDeleteMSV was pretty much trash anyway. If they didn't nerf it GDI would just be pure MSV Warfactory since they buffed a ton of War Factory units. It is uncertain how much of a nerf the MSV is at this point, it may be playable with certain unit comps since it rewards poking with predator tanks.
