Marvel Rivals Season 11: will you turn on the experimental CPU-optimized client and Aim Assist Target Prediction, and is the Devil Dinosaur nerf deserved?

Marvel Rivals Season 11 arrives on November 13, 2026 (maintenance from 10:00 AM Paris time, about 2 hours). On PC, NetEase is offering an experimental CPU-optimized client it says should give about 10% more CPU performance, and on controller a new opt-in “Aim Assist Target Prediction” setting. Before and after you try them: what do you plan to do, and what do you actually see?

What NetEase says: the experimental client is rebuilt with a new Intel compiler and PGO and is turned on in the PC launcher; the “approximately 10%” is NetEase’s estimate, with no list of CPUs or test settings. Aim Assist Target Prediction only applies if you enable it. NetEase asks anyone who hits anomalies with the experimental client to contact Customer Support.

Our questions:

1. On PC, will you enable the experimental CPU optimization? If you already have: which CPU and GPU, and did your FPS or frame-time stability change in big team fights (or did you get crashes)?
2. On controller, does Aim Assist Target Prediction make switching between targets feel better, or are you keeping the old aim assist?
3. Devil Dinosaur loses CC time and Buddy Barrier strength, Doctor Strange and Emma Frost lose shield: fair nerfs, or too much for Vanguards?
4. Did any bug from the list hit you before (Doctor Strange portal sending you backwards, Blade stuttering in Daywalker Dash, Wakanda positioning)? Is it really gone?

Please give your platform (PC, PS5, Xbox) and your main role (Vanguard, Duelist, Strategist).
