As a healer in Marvel Rivals, I believe the sport is crying out for some type of position queue. I really like enjoying as Rocket Raccoon, however being compelled into the Strategist position as a result of everybody else retains selecting DPS does take the enjoyable out of it generally. Marvel Rivals group composition doesn’t have to be as inflexible as a recreation like Overwatch, however I can’t shake the sensation {that a} squad with a extra balanced group of heroes goes to win each time. It seems that a whole lot of the neighborhood agrees, so hopefully NetEase Video games is listening.
Marvel Rivals is off to an unbelievable begin. On Steam alone the Overwatch competitor has already peaked at round 444,000 concurrent gamers, and it’s solely been out for a day. The mix of aggressive multiplayer video games and the Marvel IP is proving to be a profitable mixture, but when NetEase Video games needs the team-based hero shooter to stay round, it nonetheless has a whole lot of work to do. It won’t have been lengthy, then, however there’s one function Marvel Rivals desperately wants, particularly with Ranked play about to begin.
I’m speaking about position queue. It is a function all Overwatch 2 gamers shall be greater than aware of at this level, and one Marvel Rivals must introduce as we begin entering into extra aggressive play. In Overwatch 2, gamers queue for a job earlier than becoming a member of a match to make sure a good unfold of tank, healer, and DPS gamers, however there’s no such system in Marvel Rivals.
NetEase Video games has designed every Rivals hero so that the majority Vanguards (tanks) and Strategists (healers) can even deal a good quantity of harm, however not sufficient gamers are selecting them nonetheless. I like enjoying as Strategist Rocket Raccoon. His therapeutic orbs have frankly absurd vary, he can climb partitions, and even propel himself above the map together with his jetpack for a gradual descent that offers you an important view of the motion. My downside is that I at all times really feel like I’m compelled to play him, as a result of everybody else on my group picks a DPS hero.
On paper that’s high quality, however as quickly as the opposite group locks in two Vanguard heroes the considered us profitable turns into a distant reminiscence. As a fast journey to the sport’s subreddit reveals, the broader Marvel Rivals neighborhood has additionally seen how most gamers decide DPS.
Nearly each submit is both a couple of lack of position queue, or gamers getting pissed off at not having even one Strategist on their group. It’s not all roses for us healers although, as I’ve been demolished by slick Iron Fist gamers so many occasions that I would like the character banned from all recreation modes eternally. It doesn’t assist that high-mobility heroes zone in on the one healer (me) and destroy them earlier than the remainder of their group can do something.
Function queue would offer an answer to the dearth of tanks and healers in most Marvel Rivals matches, however in my view, the system wouldn’t have to be as inflexible as Overwatch to work. Maybe each group simply wants one tank and healer at minimal, with the remainder of your squad reliant on DPS and another team-up mixtures folks need to run. There are a lot of methods to win in Marvel Rivals, and I’d have an interest to see how NetEase Video games adapts matchmaking down the road to go well with these choices.
The sport continues to be in its infancy proper now, with gamers studying how you can play their favourite Marvel Rivals character whereas understanding each nook of every map, so I’ll give everybody who simply sits again as my Rocket dies a go. Within the meantime, we’ve nonetheless obtained to attend for the Marvel Rivals Season 1 launch date, so now’s the time to get some follow in.
