Marvel Rivals, while successful in its own right, is plagued by player preferences reminiscent of Overwatch's state in 2016. Team composition issues arise when players favor high-damage Duelists over crucial roles like Vanguards and Strategists, leading to repeated gameplay frustrations. This creates a cycle of the less popular roles being overlooked, echoing past experiences for players who relied on team synergy to succeed in matches. Consistent balance and rewards, as seen in Overwatch, have yet to materialize for Marvel Rivals.
The game's lack of a role queue contributes to its ongoing struggles. Without a system to enforce balanced team compositions, players gravitate towards characters that can rack up high kill counts, thus neglecting the diversity needed for strategic gameplay. This mirrors the dynamics of Overwatch prior to its role queue implementation, emphasizing the need for structured gameplay to improve team performance and overall player satisfaction. The absence of incentivization for varied role selection leaves many feeling unfulfilled.
