Meanwhile, the player community is already eager to learn how the studio will address the issue of roles in each match, a constant concern in the game from theDiablocreators.

Overwatch 2’s Issue Could Potentially Be Transferred to Marvel Rivals

What was once one of the most popular multiplayer games has gradually lost its appeal, leading many players to abandon it. However,Overwatch 2managed to pave the way for a new subgenre that many studios are now imitating.

Among them is NetEase withMarvel Rivals, which will take the superhero universe in a completely different direction.

Some players are curious about how this game will handle role selection before entering a match. This is something Blizzard’s game had to modify several times to find the easiest way for all users to decide the role they wanted.

One of the biggest problems is that everyone selects characters based on the most common role, which is DPS. This new game has the potential to change things from the start.

On Reddit, there are numerous discussions about this potential issue thatMarvel Rivalscould face. Thus far, the game has not provided much insight into the gameplay mechanics related to character and role selection.

From the glimpses in some videos, it’s evident that the game will feature a multitude of characters, each with distinct roles within the match. Some users believe that the studio will do a decent job balancing each type of character, making them attractive to all kinds of players.

In this particular game, everyone would always choose famous DPS characters like Genji or others of that sort. The developer has a significant advantage by involving characters known worldwide which will make it easier for players to select various characters based on favoritism.

The studio has not yet confirmed the release date for this specific game. It is known that the game will arrive for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC.
