Multiversus season 1 patch gives Morty release date and nerfs Batman

pcgamesn.com:

The Multiversus season 1 patch offers a variety of small and large changes to the free-to-play, crossover PC fighting game, including nerfs for Batman, XP boosts, and new perks. The full patch notes also confirm the release date for Rick and Morty’s Morty, the perfect way to mark today’s Multiversus season 1 release date.

Starting with Multiversus season 1, XP rewards for wins will be boosted from 5 XP to 10, whereas XP rewards for losses will increase from 3 XP to 5. Season 1 missions will also be easier to complete as their requirements have been reduced. Rather than 75, you will now need to ringout a player from the top of the map 50 times, for example, and provide only 50 assists as opposed to 125. The goal here, seemingly, is to kickstart your experience with the full version of Multiversus by giving you plenty of XP and completed objectives.

Batman players, however, may be a little dismayed. The first half of the Multiversus season 1 patch launches August 15, to be shortly followed by a second half “in the next few days”, according to Warner Bros. Games. That second half of the patch will add three recovery frames if Batman misses his ground slide attack, and also create a bigger cooldown window between batarang throws, giving opponents a greater chance to counter. Finn, Iron Giant, and Velma have also received various nerfs, while LeBron has been significantly buffed.

The Multiversus free character rotation will also change with the season 1 patch, swapping in Arya, Batman, LeBron, and Steven as
