Marvel Rivals' most exciting change in Season 3 is removing the need to grind the game every single day

When I booted up the Marvel Rivals preview build for Season 3 for the first time, I was, of course, dying to try out Phoenix right away. New heroes are always the stars of the show, and that's no different here.

However, after hours of hands-on with the anticipated update, including the Season 3 patch notes that bring some much-needed balancing changes, I've actually been appreciating the mundane tweaks much more: an overhauled challenge system and new end-of-match interface, most of all.
