Think of the goddamn people.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Marvel Rivals is a very interesting game because like 95% of players don’t want to be anything but DPS characters and yet the second you get a team that’s a majority the other character types it’s a landslide victory

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are not interested in playing this game in Ranked mode, I do recommend this game. But if you are, then I don't recommend it, and here's the reasons why: Competitive Matchmaking is not skill based, and it shows. Every match is a curbstomp, and you are either giving it, or receiving it. EOMM (Engagement Optimized Match Making) is not geared towards fair games, it's geared towards player engagement, and one of its main criteria is played time, not rating. Once I learned of this, I decided…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Marvel rivals has the worst and most strict engagement optimized matchmaking system I have ever seen in a multiplayer game. It would be tolerable if this applied to the competitive mode alone, but quickmatch is somehow worse. You will be punished for playing two or three consecutive good games with long losing streaks, only to break the cycle with a console bot match. The system does not prioritize fairness and instead constantly tries to drag your win rate towards 50%. Combined with poor…

This is Jeff The Land Shark, from Marvel Comics and the most unique playable character in the new Marvel Rivals game, and he was so adorable I had to draw him!

unlabelledView post →I've played Marvel Rivals since the beginning because I genuinely believed this game had the potential to become one of the best hero shooters on the market. The gameplay is fun, the heroes feel unique, and the Marvel universe is the perfect setting for this type of game. That's what makes it so disappointing to finally walk away. The biggest reason I'm leaving isn't balance, matchmaking, or even the bugs. It's the community and the complete lack of meaningful action from the developers to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks for coming to the impromptu Marvel Rivals stream! Such a FUN game! Also my new main is Star Lord

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game to death but boy does the community make me want to commit violent crimes. First of all, its impossible to play this game as a new person because the quick play warriors make you feel bad for not being a pro on day one. Don't even think about queing up for a QP match if you dont have atleast 20 hours on a single character. God forbid you decided you want to have fun and play a chill match on an easy character with your friends. The chances of running into a teammate who will…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some of the worst Matchmaking in all of """competitive""" gaming. The current balance as of season 6 feels almost broken beyond repair, there are more insta-kill hitscan duelists than can be banned and the entire meta revolves around "which teams healers pressed q better". Playing Vanguard in the current meta could be considered a form of psychological torture and I can't in earnest recommend this to anyone thinking of picking it up.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TBH the game is fun but at some point it's just so overwhelming and discouraging - the players are toxic as hell and they would treat you like nothing and talk trash on you even if you try your best or just having a bad game/day. And honestly, it's just so repulsive how people treat each other like animals and left their humanity somewhere else over a game LOL.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is FUN, when it chooses to be, -You get near instant matches. -There's constant updates. -the gameplay is fast and you have to think quick in order to be able to defend yourself. but nearly every interaction is toxic. -You got smurf accounts and bots, which the don't even bother trying to hide anymore, my entire inbox is full on confirmed bans and cheaters alike. -You cannot play Quickmatch whatsoever for any reason. Wanna try a new character? nope. Make a suggestion about team…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When Marvel Rivals is fun, it is VERY fun. However I do need to talk about the cons about this game, because they're the reasons I'm even writing this review. The balancing in this game is just awful. The devs clearly know there is a problem of no one wanting to play vanguard, but instead of incentivising the players to play tank they make the tanking an awful experience. The fun tanks get nerfed. Duelists and strategists get the team ups instead of tanks (we get the anchor bonus, whee), The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, I gotta say, I really loved this game at first. My friends kept pushing me to get it, and I actually enjoyed it back around seasons 7 and 8. But nowadays, especially with what's happening in the ranked section as a Gold player, it's getting frustrating. The real issue for me is the community. A lot of the players, whether they're guys or girls, seem to throw tantrums if they can’t play their main character or if someone bans them. I mean, they just freak out or try to sabotage the game, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Marvel Rivals is a game that I am sad to write a negative review about, It's a game I've spent hundreds of hours in and can genuinely say I love. However the current state of the game makes it near impossible to endorse. Between new heroes being released with kits 3x the size of their base game counterparts and what might be one of the WORST matchmaking systems I have ever seen, it makes it increasingly difficult to get back on - like returning to the game after a 3 week break and immediately…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Marvel Rivals is a solid game, but the community needs to be studied by scientists. I downloaded it expecting superhero fights. Instead I loaded into a lobby where Spider-Man was flirting with Venom, Jeff the Land Shark was getting called "babygirl," and someone was arguing that Doctor Doom is "breedable." I don't even ask questions anymore. Half the players are sweating like it's the grand finals. The other half are in chat acting like this is a dating app with superpowers. The game itself is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Anyone who knows me personally knows I’m a huge comic book fan, especially Marvel, I grew up with these characters, so trust me when I say I REALLY wanted to love this game long term... and honestly? The gameplay itself, the heroes, the maps, the references to the source materials, the dialogues between characters, all of that is genuinely amazing, so on paper, this should’ve been my most favorite multiplayer game ever, but the EOMM matchmaking completely ruins this experience. Now, and it's…

Great care has been taken on all fronts to faithfully bring these characters into a game like this with a unique artstyle that is quite endearing. This, along with an active and quite generous live service model that promises new heroes, maps,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game has fun designs and characters, a lot of kits that are genuinely enjoyable to play (and some that are also completely dismal, but it IS a hero shooter), but arguably the most abysmal matchmaking I have ever experienced in a pvp multiplayer (and I have played Many because I love wasting my time). mind you, I think the worst part about it is that over time, it only got worse. what if you wanted to play qp, and your teammates were all gold-plat support mains, and you ran into a…

Matchmaking is bad, the new heroes are getting more and more unbalanced, the community is garbage. Go outside, do something with your life. I played over 500+ hours and regret every single hour I spent on this game :(

unlabelledView post →I’m 100% convinced that this game has some form of EOMM or heavily manipulated matchmaking, because the matchmaking is genuinely some of the worst I’ve ever experienced in any game. Almost every game, my entire team has negative win rates while the enemy team plays like they’re a coordinated team of professional players. At this point, it doesn’t feel random anymore. Something has to be seriously wrong with either the matchmaking system or my account. What makes it even more suspicious is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →rigged matchmaking, it never gets better no matter what rank you reach. no punishment for throwing btw. there's a thrower in almost every single match i played ranking up all the way from bronze to ETERNITY. netease doesn't care about player enjoyment or satisfaction, only playercount. boycott this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, and have played it almost every day since launch, through the ups and downs, until this season. I just took my first full-week break of zero matches. Came back today and queued up to be gifted the worst comp IQ you've ever seen (melee dive into triple support and flyers, while the back line is being dove. "Okay, it's just one match, queue again" Okay perfect someone's character gets banned by the other team, so they lock Daredevil and go 2-15. It has been like this for a…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Marvel Rivals. I have over 2,100 hours because I genuinely enjoyed playing it, but this update completely killed the fun for me. It feels like the whole game is built around team-ups now. They're way too strong, and it honestly feels like almost anyone can get kills just by abusing them. The skill gap is disappearing. Good aim, movement, positioning, and actually being better at the game don't matter as much anymore when a team-up can do so much of the work. A lot of my friends feel…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs literally admitted how they operate. You, as a player, aren't worth the effort to make the game good; you are there to help DPS junkies get wins and than when close to 50% win rate in quick play casual you get hit with smurfs or higher-end players to smack you down than because its EOMM you get a bot match almost like clockwork. they think you aren't smart enough to tell they lie, and they censure as much as they can get away with without any criticism. they got big, rested on there…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im Marvel Partner and i will give you my feedback after 2000 hours on multi account : I love this game but we have to talk about Matchmaking :)) First time in my life seeing a game where you can be on a winning streak in Celestial on one account, and at the same time on a losing streak Plat rank on another account :) funny no ? Some good players and myself have noticed a usual pattern of completely rigged matchmaking. When you are good, (good scoring, aim, etc) you get auto-filled with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can truly say this game is better left uninstalled, the introduction of new characters and the balancing that's been done over the past two seasons has created breeding grounds for completely demoralizing matches where every match is met with toxicity. The game is just rage inducing and puts you in a constant loop. EOMM system is very obvious and is set to keep you engaged with a few wins, only to hammer you down for several matches at a time. I myself am realizing the impact of engaging with…

The only thing the community asked for since the game release and they don't fix it, they make it worse every update, you can have a bot match even if you're winning, what the hell is that? Season 9 is amazing, it's a new game with all the team ups, feels great to play every character but is the same .txt over and over again, 9 wins - 10 lose - 15 wins - 14 - lose. It's a damn joke. Until they fix this,…

The game *was* good, it really only got bad recently. Mostly the community's fault, but I suspect that a large part of the issue is NetEase's revolutionary new EnMatch matchmaking system which is, according to their research paper published the same year as Rivals's release, a method of optimizing the game for player engagement rather than good or fair matchmaking.

I’ve played hundreds of matches and I’m a good player, I always end up among the top performers on my team, but the matchmaking system completely breaks the experience.
