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.

I really enjoy sitting here listening to people figure out how the matchmaker gives them such terrible opponents when you're looking for five good ones out of a sea of hundreds of thousands every time.

It always ends up with the most ridiculously funny conspiracy theories.

And it just keeps going. There's never a realization that "oh hey, this is a team-based shooter and there's a lot of people playing, so if I want a consistent team I should join one instead of letting the matchmaker find one for me".

No, God no, now the matchmaking algo is suddenly an entity. An old god, vengeful, spiteful, matching zOMG Super Skilled Playerz™ with utter mouthbreathers for its own sick thrills.

It even has a name -- Eomm, the Destroyer of Ranks, the Invalidator of Fairness, the Scourge of Humanity.

I imagine Eomm looks a lot like Aku from SamJack.

It's just a scapegoat for people to be low ranked.

No one even cares about your rank, other than yourself. I don't know why people attempt to argue why the game is bad, when if you don't like it, there are plenty of other options for you.

IF there aren't other options for you, that sounds like a you problem.

[Harbis]

Yes its of course

[Ono]

I'll enjoy every bit of hate towards this game and it's garbage matchmaking system. Solo Q is so bad and it's not SOLO Q at all, game will matchmake you with players that are in a party and players that don't even meet your skill level. Every rank division has a huge skill gap, from GOLD all the way to GM.

I uninstalled the minute i saw the EOMM bs that is running all over youtube/reddit. As soon as i saw that i was ranking up back and forth between Tier III and Tier I, keeping the same play style, i immediately understood what EOMM is. Total garbage game, i regret even spending money on it.

[PayasoCosmicoSupreme]

Yeah the EOMM is rough as hell. It's the usual stuff, like, same character, same playstyle, same everything, and then my team goes 0/9 in two minutes and we get spawncamped or we get a couple picks, they don't back out and we steamroll them. Nothing much changes, I'm the same guy, the only difference is my team has hands and eyes or they don't. I think this is specially true for Support and Tank players. As Tank you may have a great match and go 15/0/10, or you may get unlucky with a team that doesn't really grasp how to engage and just go in and die in an endless loop. As support, realistically, you can't heal people on the other end of the map diving 6 dudes at Spawn with Punisher. DPS is more in control of the match, at least.

If you complain to their support team they'll say they understand your frustrations, because it's akin to plowing the rice fields for months on end without any yield. That's just funny.

Like they inherently view us as peasants working the fields for ever and ever in hopes that we'll get some crops. And I think they fear that as soon as we get those crops, we'll stop tilling. Personally I'm about fully churned out at this point, but it's not because I don't hit an arbitrary rank goal. It's because I tire of the endless unwinnable matches. Like many people here, I come from Fighting Games and those are "May the best man win" not "May any lucky idiot, who will hopefully spend money, win."

If you play Solo you basically only exist if you play DPS, you somewhat exist if you play tank, and if you play Support, as a strength multiplier, you can be given 0s pretty damn frequently. I'm talking people who legit struggle to hit a single shot and will not pick Wanda or melee to ease up that weakness. I'm talking 0/5 Black Panther onetrick, twice in a row. I could heal, sure, but you're trying to burst down The Thing, my man. It's just not gonna happen. As high as GM and low Celestial you STILL see people who have no concept of target priority all the time.

And EOMM deniers when there's literal papers written on this stuff are just insanely hilarious. It's not how people say, it's in fact the opposite. My guy, if they have 70 gorillion players and they track EVERY STAT they can ABSOLUTELY craft the PERFECT match every time. They could craft fair matches very easily, but instead we get this tripe.

And it's not just ego either. 75% of the time I find myself to be stronger than both my teammates and my enemies, yet I only win about half the time. It's the same as in League or other MOBAs. If they can't push you, if they can't kill you, if they can't pick you, you are stronger than they are. If you duel and you come out ahead, you're stronger. This sort of thing happens to me all the time but the matchmaking is slamming the brakes on me so the enemy can counterpick and handle me while my teammates don't really capitalize on that. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The player quality does steadily increase as you go up in rank, and it doesn't take long to get out of Bronze. By Gold, while significant mistakes remain common, at least people do generally know the basics of how to play the game.

[Miia]

the biggest flaw is that its on ue5

[Mitrovarr]

God, the teammates are so bad. Either it's 4-5 DPS and they threw in spawn by not picking a tank, or they're trying to play a sniper team into a tight corridor map with a squirrel girl and a barrier tank on the other team, or they run three random supports so you've got no team damage. And even when they lose, they never change off!
