Marvel Rivals’ Biggest Flaw? The Absolute Trash Teammates

[Pvt. Parts]

I’m convinced Marvel Rivals has the worst player base in gaming history. Every single match feels like I’m babysitting toddlers who just discovered what a controller is. Do people even know how to play the game? Or do they think button mashing and running in circles is a viable strategy?

I can’t carry harder if I tried. I pick a decent character, stick to objectives, and play smart, only to watch my “teammates” run off solo, die instantly, and then spam the chat with “no help?” You’re right, ChadThanos420, I didn’t help you 1v4 the enemy team with your terrible positioning. My bad!

And don’t get me started on the matchmaking. Why am I being paired with people who clearly don’t know what a the objective is? Meanwhile, the other team is stacked with pros who’ve been no-lifing since launch. It’s not a game – it’s a punishment.

Marvel Rivals could’ve been decent if they implemented a matchmaking system that wasn’t straight-up RNG. But nope, every match is me vs. the world while my teammates play like NPCs. Prove me wrong – or admit you’re one of these useless teammates.

Let the excuses roll in.

Hmmm... Strange... In another discussion you insisted that op (who also complained about match making) should just "Reflect on their own performance" instead of blaming the game and other people.

Bait used to be believable...

Welcome to free to play Marvel games, where half the player base is under 12 and dont give a flying F about winning or being apart of a team.

Don't like the teammates the matchmaker gives you. That's why they give you the option to make friends and party up with them.

This is 100% accurate if you're playing this solo queue. It made the game absolutely painful and I hate that I dumped so much time into this game. I've uninstalled it and dont intend to return.

add people you enjoyed playing with as friends

I finally had a good quickmatch tonight, people actually picked 2 tanks and 2 healers and let me DPS (I usually flex and play Off-tank or healer), got MVP, kept their healers dead, held the objective and even sniped their Storm out of the sky with Squirrel girl lol.

Then the next game no one picked any tanky heroes and I was just like nah, you ain't keeping me hostage in this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and left.

But you know 1 fun quickplay is cool I guess.

I just really want an optional role queue system so I don't have to just leave games where I know our comp won't work. I'm fine losing if we have a good comp, but losing because people refuse to not play duelist I'm not going to bother trying to carry that.

^Yeah a role system would be good. That way the DPS players would have a much longer queue but we would have balanced team comp games. Everyone would win.

Except in order to enforce it you'd have to lock players in that role(so they could only swap within their class) -> Now that would remove flexibility for sure but I'd take it over what we have now

I'm sure the 5 instalock DPS players would rather wait longer than have me up and leave.

Of course no need (for devs) to bother with the system when it's a free game and the cosmetics are the actual money maker -> I wouldn't expect any changes.

Game does feel rigged with solo queue, It's either roll the other team or get rolled yourself & hardly anything in between. Yeah yeah play with friends.....I'm going back to Street Fighter 6 for awhile back to the 1 v 1's no teammates & crap matchmaking.

Nobody knows how to play this game except me I’m 100% convinced hands down.

First time grinding comp in this game. This^ All night and all day. Toxic whiners, people who refuse to change roles, who demand YOU lone tank/heal while they pick the 4th dps, need-heals spammers, early surrenderers, drop-outs, afkers, and smug elites who are carrying cos they got 3 more kills than a healer. ALL DAY LONG!! 1 win, 2-4 losses. The algorithm SUCKS. I don't want 3 losses and then a close game!! Match me by skill!!!!

You are being matched by skill -- with randos. Just because the randos have a basic skill floor doesn't mean they're gonna pick themselves off of it, nor are they guaranteed to do what you want them to do.

For that, you need a team of your own.

I think their algo is so heavily EOMM focused it's what causes the steamrolls/steamrolled. I solo Q almost all the time, and i've either got competent teammates or complete derps... One squad says i'm a goat healer... the other i have dives screaming heals across the map not backing out when lowhp... tanks tryin to stagger straight into full teams w/ a luna ult down... There's really no balance, and thats a huge downfall for me.

I appreciate you reviving my dead bait thread though. This ♥♥♥♥ was dead and in the dirts but you brought it back. I also don't know why you are defending me and attacking an old post. Wake up and move on.
