Marvel Rivals Developers Reject Role Queue Feature Requests

NetEase Games' creative director emphasizes freedom of hero choice and team composition over role-based matchmaking in the popular third-person shooter.

Marvel Rivals, a third-person hero shooter, has surpassed 20 million players since its launch earlier this month.
Many players have called for a role queue system to ensure balanced teams, similar to Overwatch 2's matchmaking approach.
Creative director Guangyun Chen stated that the development team is not considering a role queue at this time, citing a focus on player freedom and diverse team compositions.
Developers are monitoring gameplay data, which reportedly shows balanced and varied team setups emerging in Competitive play without role restrictions.
The team plans to continue observing player behavior and experimenting with team-up mechanics, leaving the possibility of future changes open.
