The glaring detail that was missing was the accept button. If you reached Gold or above in the Closed Beta Test, you'll have seen that queues could get pretty long. The accept button is the easiest solution to most early game AFKers, as it prevents people from joining a game unless they're at their PC or console saying "I'm ready to go". It should be a simple addit

Hero shooters are confusing by nature. While Marvel Rivals has the benefit of third person view's wider angles, you'll still end up having to react to things that happen off-screen. That's where voice lines for ultimates should come in. When you hear "HULK SMASH!", you know it's time to run away from the green guy. Unless you have one on your team too, because in that case you'll want to run towards him and help him smash your oppone

Under these circumstances, audio cues become almost as important as visual ones. As it stands, it is hard to keep track of mobile Duelists as a Strategist, and almost impossible to hear a flanker unless both of you are indoors and far enough away from the action. The audio should be clearer, even if it sacrifices immers

Marvel Rivals is exciting. The game looks great, is fun to play, and is an excellent addition to the hero-shooter genre. With 23 characters available to play, Marvel Rivals had more heroes playable during its CBT than Overwatch on release, which only had

Another popular Spider-Man villain in Sandman would be a unique take on the tank role. His sand powers give him a way to not only soak up alot of damage, but create cover for his team, like Groot. However, the way Sandman could work would make him a versatile bruiser that stands out from the rest of the characters at his ro

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

If the game is free-to-play and the entire roster is open to players to use, it does pose the question as to where the money for the game will come from . The obvious answer is cosmetics that can be paid for. With the nature of Marvel Comics , there are a plethora of different versions of characters that can become skins. Spider-Man alone has an entire Spider-Verse __ of alternate versions to call upon, and these versions have risen in popularity thanks to the animated films. Spider-Noir, in particular, would be a great addit

Everyone loves feeling like the main character, getting a quad-kill, and seeing their name pop up at the top left of the screen. It is understandable, then, why everyone wants to play a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, especially when some of the IP's most beloved heroes (Iron Man, Spider-Man) are in that class. But this game is balanced around a 2/2/2 split, so the matches in which you get rolled over due to having three or four Duelists on your team feel terrible to p

The in-game currency was incredibly easy to get in the Closed Network Test, and if the game is to make money on cosmetics, they will likely be harder to unlock in the full release. This is a worthwhile trade for a massive roster that is fully unlocked from the get-go , and the base designs of the Marvel Rivals Collectibles heroes and villains are nice enough that skins don't feel necessary (they're never necessary anyway, but poor base designs can make them feel needed). It is better than having expensive skins and a free rotat

Competitive games have a tendency to become stale. MOBAs like LoL get considerable meta shifts every few months, although that comes with its own set of problems. Adding new characters works too, but brings with it another host of issues. Marvel Rivals opted for the Season Bonus system, which isn't a good direction to fol

League of Legends is perhaps the most popular instance of this, and the free rotation is known as a feature of many MOBAs, also seen in Heroes of the Storm and Smite . It has leaked its way into other genres, like with Overwatch 2, Paladins , and Multiverses , but this is something that Marvel Rivals is avoiding. In fact, all the characters will be free to use at launch and beyond , which is amazing, considering that the roster of heroes and villains is massive for a game that is yet to be relea
