Marvel Rivals Players Want a Major Change Made to Ranked…

Summary

Ultron will bring healing and offensive abilities to Marvel Rivals as a new Strategist character.
Some players believe Marvel Rivals' ranked matches should end instantly when someone disconnects.
NetEase Games has announced upcoming changes for Season 3 of Marvel Rivals, including shorter seasons and more frequent hero releases.

Marvel Rivals players are unhappy with the current state of ranked play in the popular hero shooter, suggesting that matches should end as soon as a player disconnects. NetEase Games recently released Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, which introduced Emma Frost as the title's newest Vanguard.

It's expected that Ultron will make his debut in Marvel Rivals during a major mid-season update. It's confirmed that the villain will be a Strategist, meaning he'll be healing allies while dishing out damage to his foes. It's rumored that he could have a team-up with the hero Iron Man, which could enhance the power of his drones. According to a leaked version of Ultron's ability kit, the villain will use drones to rescue allies from harm while taking an offensive stance against his enemies. If the rumors are true, it sounds as if Ultron could turn out to be a very versatile character in the popular hero shooter.

In a recent post on Reddit, psilopsilocybin suggested that ranked matches in Marvel Rivals should end as soon as someone disconnects, as it now gives the person one minute to rejoin the match. Their reasoning was that, after playing at a disadvantage for a full minute, it's likely the side that lost their player for a full minute will lose the match. Some players agreed, citing their own experiences where the opposing team was able to gain better positioning and higher ultimate charges in the time that it took for a teammate to reconnect to the match. However, others pointed out that such a solution might not be so simple.

Marvel Rivals Players Want Matches to End Instantly When Someone Disconnects

Numerous people offered their own suggestions, which ranged from voting to forfeit without penalty to increasing the penalty assigned to players who have disconnected. One person pointed out that NetEase Games may not be motivated to correct the issue immediately, as it has stated that it is focusing on fun in Marvel Rivals instead of meticulously balancing ranked play.

It's always possible that NetEase Games could choose to change the way ranked matches work with an upcoming patch. The developers have already announced numerous changes coming with Season 3 of Marvel Rivals. NetEase Games has announced that seasons will only last two months instead of three, but it won't be changing the fact that two heroes will make their debut every season. This means gamers can expect a new hero every month, which has excited a large portion of the community. With so much content to enjoy and even more around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
