In a new update for Marvel Rivals, a feature has been introduced that lets players skip losses in ranked modes. This change has sparked significant backlash from the community, many of whom feel it undermines the integrity of the competitive ranking system.

Key Update

The feature allows users to earn up to eight free Chrono Shield Cards. These cards can be utilized to negate the penalties associated with losing matches, ultimately leading to players being able to maintain their ranks without facing the traditional consequences of defeat.

“Why do I even play ranked? This rank means nothing, it’s just whoever plays the most every season!” - Eskay, a well-known streamer, expressed his discontent on social media.

In essence, players feel that the ability to bypass losses will lead to potential exploitation, altering the competitive landscape significantly. Users have voiced concerns about the implications this change could have on how skill is measured in the game, speculating that it might encourage trolls to exploit the system by purposely losing matches numerous times without repercussions.

Given the reaction from the community, it’s likely that developers may reconsider this feature, similar to previous reversals made by NetEase in response to player feedback about gameplay changes.
