Role queue solves this issue, but brings with it too much trouble to be worth it. Duelist queues will be endless, and people will be forced onto an even split between the three roles, instead of being able to experiment. We don't know what the solution here is, but there should be some incentives in place to avoid the pitfalls that we saw Overwatch fall i

Many free-to-play games similar to Marvel Rivals , such as other hero shooters or MOBAs, tend to have systems that involve unlocking heroes . There is usually an in-game currency of some kind to purchase heroes to play and a free rotation of a handful of characters that players can try out when deciding who they want to main. The issue with this is that players tend to stick with a smaller roster of characters and don't get any real time to play everyone they w

Black Panther is a top-tier character in Marvel Rivals . As a Duelist with a complex and skilled fighting style , he is one of the few challenging DPS options in the game. Players are obliged to use every aspect of his roster to get the best potential out of him in the arena, making him fairly tricky but rewarding to use in com

With Marvel Rivals launching with a massive roster of thirty-three that eclipses Overwatch 's launch roster of twenty-one, balance could be a problem at launch, let alone later on, as the game continues to grow. Although the closed beta can be excused due to not being the final product, it had some balancing issues that need to be addressed before the full launch. **marvel rivals updates Rivals will launch with a competitive mode ** , and although it is an impossible task, any competitive game massively benefits from adequate bala

"We have a statistic model that helps us to deal with the balancing problem, and we run tons of tests to see whether these numbers need to be adjusted," Chen tells me. "We also have tests to manipulate what happens when beginner players use a character, and we have super good players in our team to replicate the pro playe

With the Marvel universe as a setting, as well as **a hint of multiverses with both a Spiderverse map and two Doctor Dooms from different timelines ** , there is a wealth of characters that are yet to be announced to the roster. It will likely continue to swell as time goes on, and if the game does as well as many think it will, becoming not only a rival to Overwatch but its usurper, a League of Legends -sized roster might not be too far off. There are enough Marvel characters to do this, from the famous to the obsc

Cyclops has long been a controversial member of the X-Men , but he’s also a fan favorite. His optic blasts would fit right into Marvel Rivals , being a good counter for those characters who like to get too cl

Some of the best moments in Marvel Rivals happen when a point you are holding gets completely disfigured by a crucial pillar being destroyed, with Yggsgard's Royal Palace being an excellent example. These situations force people to adapt on the fly, so seeing the structures being rebuilt after a few seconds feels like a missed opportun

While Black Panther has several ranged options, most of his attacks are at close quarters , so using the right combos while dashing head-first into combat is important to apply his offense to opponents. Before diving in, trigger Vibranium Marks to make it easier for you to flee. Some of the best combos are listed below that you should practice in the Practice Ra

Unfortunately, balance with a game as expressive and chaotic as Marvel Rivals , especially in the hero shooter genre, is a lot easier said than done. Even with its resources, Blizzard couldn't properly balance its groundbreaking hero shooter and, ultimately, retreated back to a launch version of the game with Overwatch 2 Classic . With the roster that the game will boast at launch, and what it will grow into, **Marvel Rivals ** will have an extremely difficult task in keeping itself balanced, but if it manages to do this, then it could see itself standing on top of the hero shooter ge

Destructible environments are another amazing feature that Marvel Rivals brought to the hero shooter genre. Why is it, then, that NetEase didn't go all out with it? If the devs are afraid of the lack of certain structures being game-breaking, just make those indestructi

"We also put a lot of thought into the team-ups between the heroes , based on their history with Marvel. We have popular ones like Groot and Racoon, but we also have new ones like Venom giving his powers to Penny Parker, which will add more fun to the gamepl

Thanks to the nature of the Marvel universe, there is a rich pool of characters that Rivals can call upon ** ** , especially since the current roster includes some lesser-known heroes, like Luna Snow and Jeff the Land Shark, but still omits famous Avengers, like Black Widow and Hawkeye. The game will be free-to-play, too, and with it being on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Mac, it is as accessible as possible. It also avoids one major annoyance of many free-to-play games to show that the title's priority is
