Marvel Rivals gamers are hoping for sweeping modifications to at least one necessary side of the sport in season 2 – Destructoid Players Enviornment

Followers of hero shooter Marvel Rivals have turned their consideration totally in direction of season two of the sport, as season one is winding down its ultimate weeks.

The primary official season of the sport, after an introductory season zero at launch, started in January and has rolled on for the previous a number of months with the Incredible 4 as additions. However with just a little greater than two weeks left in season one, no matter comes subsequent in season two is subsequent on everybody’s minds.

The dialogue in a March 26 Reddit thread was meant to be centered round what sort of steadiness modifications gamers needed to see for heroes who want nerfs or buffs when season two rolls round, however it was shortly hijacked by gamers who’re extra involved with one enormous a part of the sport: matchmaking in Aggressive mode.

A number of Marvel Rivals gamers within the thread agreed that the sport desperately wants placement matches to assist determine the place a participant is ranked when a brand new season begins, which it did have through the sport’s beta assessments. With out them, gamers suppose that the ranks and matchmaking in Aggressive mode are eschewed come what may.

“Want to enhance matchmaking as a complete,” the highest commenter stated. “Far too many lopsided video games. I’m solely in platinum however that’s been my expertise.” They weren’t alone on this evaluation, and I’d must additionally agree. Marvel Rivals looks like a little bit of a coin flip in Aggressive, whether or not you’ll steam roll the opposition, or be the one who will get steam rolled, and plenty of suppose that placement matches might alleviate this downside.

“That is the most important change I’m hoping for,” one other gamer agreed. “I don’t care if Bucky and Hela are working lobbies so long as they beat me truthful and sq. in a balanced match.”

Nevertheless, it is probably not placement matches that’s the problem or the repair. Gamers have been very vocal in regards to the problem with smurfs trouncing decrease ranks, and a difficulty with the way you get far more rank factors for wins than you lose factors in losses, and that is creating an issue the place gamers aren’t ranked the place they’re presupposed to be.

“I strongly consider the matchmaking itself is ok,” one detractor posted. “The issue is rank inflation, there are too many individuals in GM that acquired there just by spamming 500 video games with 45 p.c winrate and individuals who acquired there in lower than 50 video games with 65 p.c winrate and there are such an enormous talent hole between these two varieties of gamers, that’s what’s making the sport high quality so horrible.”

There’s an extended wishlist of modifications that gamers want to see in Marvel Rivals for season two, however an adjustment to how Aggressive mode works is unquestionably close to the highest of the record. Hopefully, NetEase will handle these issues and extra forward of the launch of the brand new season on April 11.
