My Hero Ultra Rumble Season 2 Review

My Hero Ultra Rumble Season 2 is underway, bringing a brand new game mode alongside an additional playable character. And with the first season having been such a disaster, many were incredibly concerned with the progress of the game. During the beginning of season 1, Aizawa was literally broken on release. In addition, various bug fixes were left unaddressed. This then begs the question, is season 2 good? Here is a My Hero Ultra Rumble Season 2 review.

My Hero Ultra Rumble Season 2 Review

As a whole, My Hero Ultra Rumble Season 2 provided fantastic updates to the game. During this big update, the developers addressed the vast majority of issues plaguing the game. They fixed Ochaka’s alpha, corrected Aizawa’s entire kit, and released Endeavor in a very good state. These were all aspects the community were incredibly concerned with — since season 1’s introduction was such a let down.

Let’s talk about Endeavor. He’s not completely overpowered, but he’s undeniably very strong when wielded properly. Unlike Aizawa, who broke the game with his bugs, it appears Endeavor functions almost perfectly. His abilities hit as intended, and the number one hero provides new gameplay mechanics which are honestly pretty fun. Endeavor’s play style rewards skill expression, while not completely seeming impossible to master. The pick also has counters which play excellently against him, such as Kendo who can essentially block every one of his abilities.

Season 2 Fixes the Meta

As for the gameplay balance, the developers are quickly fixing the meta — nerfing characters who the community complained excessively over, such as Froppy. They also buffed Mr. Compress, Kendo, and Aizawa, allowing them to finally see some prevalence in the meta. These updates provided strengths very smartly. Kendo’s movement speed was increased, allowing her to maneuver more effectively, while Mr. Compress’ Alpha ability activates a lot sooner. This keeps their overall playstyle the same, while decreasing their blatant weaknesses. As for Aizawa, his kit simply functions as initially intended now. The character is no longer broken.

Issues still Exist

There are still bugs in the game. Some errors occur during matchmaking, where players are forced into a lobby filled almost entirely with bots. On PC, this makes the duo queue game mode practically unplayable. It’s difficult to say if the problem persists on other platforms, since the reviewer primarily plays on PC.

Regardless, the fast implementation of a new game mode, albeit broken at the moment, is a great sign as to the game’s continued improvement and evolution. In addition, the developers addressed a lot of the gamebreaking bugs, which honestly felt really bad to run into. This bodes quite well for the game’s longevity, since a lot of players were on the cusp of quitting if season 2 didn’t go well.
