Disgusting community: COMP needs PLAYER CONTROL
This game terribly needs „player control” and team balance adjustments. Playing competitive needs to seriously be restricted in the way, that players who are not interested in adjusting their own game style, hero choices and ways for the greater good of the team they join in are being permanently removed and excluded from comp gaming. If they have the need to do that, quick play is all they need. And if enough people like that get excluded from comp, there will be enough players in quick play anyway.

I have lost my last six ranked games. I don’t mind losing if that’s the outcome of a battle, but the way that happened just made me stop playing Marvel Rivals, and I don’t even know if I am coming back. Here is the story to it (rank is GM, so not super high, but also not completely low)

1) Lost a game where a Luna player decided it was funny to just use the Luna ult do dmg boost, even though their whole team was low hp.

2) Lost a game where all a Moonknight player did was standing at the spawn trying to hit people with ankh, while the other dps play five different dps heroes to achieve three elims, screaming at everyone else in voice chat that they suck.

3) Lost a game where nobody in the team felt like helping me playing support. A Moonknight player, a storm player and a Human Torch player were just arguing in chat with each other who has the right to stay dps until the time was over – the Storm ended up 0:3 and told everyone they wouldn’t care anyway because it was their smurf.

4) Lost a game where we wouldn’t have a tank all game. One dps randomly decided to ban Strange at the start, so two other players couldn’t even really help out, as they are only playing strange. One player tried to play tank for 20 seconds, then suddenly switched to Loki. We ended the game on two tanks, which we played for 15 seconds.

5) Lost a game where I had to solo heal, while one play was playing Human Torch, which they clearly hadn’t tried out before at all, so was afk half the time reading into the skills, while the other dude was forcing Ironfist into a comp he was unable to play into with his skills, so they ended up on 19 deaths. Refused to switch of course.

6) Lost a game where everyone but one person in the team tried to actually win the game. Found a good setup, but one player decided they want to play Black Panther. No problem of course, but after they died 11 times with barely any impact, they just went offline.

I am sorry, but the game design can be excellent and rewarding and beautiful and all of that, but unless the community does not help to make this game playable and enjoyable for everyone, the numbers will go down, the interest will decrease and the game will face the same fate as Overwatch, just much quicker.

It is embarrassing to see how little interest people have to play a team game in a way that everyone profits from each other, instead just pushing their own ego and insulting everyone who dares to ask them to adapt, no matter how kind and friendly their way to ask was.

Seems like a good strategy, you just need to hit the enemy and kill them.

You can add me if you like :) If that is where you fail already, I am calling that you are probably one of the players that act like they were in a solo game.
This is when you focus on finding new friends with simular interests to play with instead of relying on a matchmaker to pick them out for you. They're not going to be able to control stuff like this...

It's not about matchmaking. Some you win, some you lose. It's about filtering players out that show no interest to play a part in a team in the competitive mode of a team based game.
Step 1: Find People to play with.
Step 2: Vet the Players.
Step 3: Play the Game.

Comp Rule 1: Lose 2, Take a break.

This isnt just a Team oriented game issue. Any game with Multiplayer even if its PVE has this issue. MM can only go so far, so you need to midigate that by finding people who take it just as serious as you do. The Devs stance is to not be 100% competitive like Overwatch. Its why they refuse to do Role Que. IMHO i like that. I get to play how i want without restriction.

That ♥♥♥♥ will never happen, you have to filter them out yourselves... People can play one way one minute then change another. Your asking for the impossible.

Dev's have been trying to get rid of throwers for decades now with no success... Temp bans, only for them to come back with new accounts.

Solo queue ranked is absolutely miserable. No one seems to have any idea what they're doing, and don't you dare turn on chat (voice and text) for any kind of coordination because all you'll see/hear is shouting, arguing and every slur ever uttered.
Role limit or hero veto would work, but then you would probably have to report for throwing. People suck
regarding 4th point, tbf thats on those 2 other players, strange is a pretty common ban, so them not being able to play literally any other tank is just silly, one tricking is NOT the play in these kinds of game, no I get it u wanna main someone and ur free to do so, but have a back up just in case, especially if u main a pretty strong character that is bound to be banned from time to time
