Marvel Rivals, the popular mobile game from NetEase, has sparked controversy among fans with its decision to introduce mid-season ranked resets starting in Season 1. The changes, which will drop players by four divisions, have been met with widespread criticism and concern. While NetEase claims the move is aimed at “shaking up the battlefield,” many fans believe it’s unfair and punishing.
The game’s ban system is also set to be revised, allowing Diamond players access to banned characters like Storm, Hulk, Wolverine, and Luna Snow without restrictions. This change has raised eyebrows among players who feel that it gives an unfair advantage to top players.
Fans are worried about the impact of these changes on solo queuers and those who want to take a break from playing. The ranked reset system, which already punishes players for taking breaks, is set to be exacerbated by this new move.
NetEase has announced that The Thing and Johnny Storm will be added to the game in February, but fans are holding their breath to see if they’ll be able to enjoy the experience without being penalized by these changes.
