Guangyun \u201cGuangguang\u201d Chen, creative director behind Marvel Rivals<\/em>, says that while many players have requested a role queue system, a matchmaking option to help create balanced teams, there are currently no plans to implement one in the free-to-play character shooter.<\/p>\n

Overwatch 2’s New Story Missions: Worth The Money?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The free-to-play third-person hero shooter launched earlier this month and has quickly become one of the biggest games of the year, already hitting\u00a0over 20 million players<\/a><\/span>. And some of these players are tired of being tossed into matches where their entire team is duelists, forcing them to play healer or tank to help balance the lineup. <\/p>\n

One solution to this problem is a role queue. Found in games like Overwatch 2<\/em>, a role queue lets players pick a role, like tank, and then find a match that needs that specific role. In Overwatch 2<\/em>‘s case, this means every match has a tank, two attackers, and two healers. This should lead to more balanced teams, but the devs behind Rivals <\/em>don\u2019t seem interested in adding this system to the shooter.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Dot Esports<\/em><\/a><\/span>,<\/em> Chen said that the studio is \u201cnot considering a role queue\u201d at the moment. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe team\u2019s goal is to offer a wider variety of team composition through team-up skills and their own designs, to let people play their Marvel superheroes rather than limiting players to choosing a role.\u201d <\/p>\n

Chen further explained that data from matches shows that Rivals <\/em>currently doesn\u2019t need a role queue system. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want people to have a Marvel experience where they\u2019re free to select what they want. [Since the beta test earlier this year], things have been rational and within expectations. In our Competitive play recently, there is a lot of different compositions emerging from players and we\u2019d like to continue to monitor these fun compositions and how they impact our game.\u201d <\/p>\n

While some might be upset that Chen and developer NetEase aren\u2019t rushing to balance the game or add a role queue system, I\u2019m happy to see an online multiplayer game studio step back and let things be chaotic and messy for a bit before jumping in to sand things down and make everything more fair and balanced. <\/p>\n

One of the reasons I enjoy Rivals <\/em>is because everyone feels powerful and matches rarely play out the same way as nearly every character seems viable with the right comp or strategy. And while a role queue might be nice in ranked mode, I hope if it is ever added, it doesn\u2019t signal a shift to balancing all the fun out of Marvel Rivals. <\/em><\/p>\n
