This Game is Slowly Becoming MultiVersus, and that's bad#132

Rivals 2 is a long way from becoming the trainwreck that was MultiVersus, and I have faith in this game to not end up that way, but there are signs: character balance is heading in an odd way, optimization leaves a bit to be desired, the shield buffer is obnoxious. speaking about the shield buffer, that along with how strong floorhugging is, makes defense mashy and annoying. i really hope the devs change the shield buffer thing really soon, as they’ve said they are open to changing it.

It’s becoming MVS because the balance is slightly to your dissatisfaction and you disagree with the shield buffer?
