As Marvel Rivals’ first season gets underway with great enthusiasm, there’s lots to explore. Yet, some issues persist for gamers, notably those in lower rankings who make up a significant portion of the player community. A common demand from these players is the introduction of a universal hero ban system. Here’s a closer look at this topic.

The Marvel Rivals Playerbase Urges The Developers To Add Hero-Bans For All Ranks

For people who aren’t familiar, Marvel Rivals incorporates a hero veto system where each team can exclude two heroes from being picked by the opposing team during a game. This feature, much anticipated by Overwatch 2 enthusiasts, significantly enhances the gameplay experience in Marvel Rivals. However, it is important to note that this hero veto feature is only accessible to players who have reached Diamond rank or higher.

Many fans find themselves perplexed by this restriction, as they can’t understand why hero bans are only applicable to higher tiers. On Reddit, players have been debating this topic extensively, advocating for the developers to expand hero bans to lower skill levels for several persuasive arguments.

One player expressed their discontent: “I recently faced off against Hawkeye and Hela, and it was a terrible experience.” They elaborated that it seems unjust for lower-ranked players to not have access to hero bans. Moreover, they pointed out that if everyone starts at the Bronze rank, a ‘smurf’ can simply create a new account, lock in Hawkeye/Hela, and dominate the match. This issue was widely shared among others who agreed that bans should be universal to ensure fairness for all players.

It’s worth mentioning that the desire for hero bans isn’t exclusive to low-rank players who aim to counter strong or popular heroes like Hela or Hawkeye. Even mid-to-high-rank players experience issues with the current game design. One user expressed it as “quite disconcerting” to advance to Diamond rank, find themselves in a Platinum lobby, and lose access to the ban feature. They considered it “a somewhat silly design on a broader scale.

Hero bans can bring advantages to players at all skill levels in several ways. Novice players get the chance to steer clear of tough characters, making it simpler for them to adapt to the game. For seasoned players, bans prevent them from unintentionally losing strategic options when put into lower-tier matches. Furthermore, a player noted that hero bans motivate variety: “It also promotes players to explore and play various heroes, in case their preferred one gets banned.

Hero bans could bring substantial benefits across Marvel Rivals, ensuring that every player has a fair chance to advance regardless of their current rank, be it Bronze III or Platinum II. Although the developers haven’t confirmed if hero bans will apply to all ranks, given that Season 1 is now active and future changes are on the horizon, there’s still a chance it might happen. Fingers crossed that Marvel Rivals takes community feedback into account and makes this a part of the game.
