Marvel Rivals Players Have an Idea to Improve Proficiency Rewards

Marvel Rivals' Reward System Under Fire: Players Demand Nameplate Accessibility

Marvel Rivals players are expressing frustration over the difficulty of obtaining nameplates without in-app purchases. The current system, perceived as overly reliant on spending real money, has sparked a heated debate within the community. A proposed solution, gaining traction on Reddit, suggests converting Lore Banners into nameplate rewards.

Launched just a month ago, Marvel Rivals recently concluded its Season 0 and launched its highly anticipated Season 1 update, significantly expanding the game's content. Season 1 boasts a more extensive battle pass with ten character skins, alongside other customization options like nameplates, sprays, and emotes. However, the scarcity of nameplates, particularly the lack of free options, has ignited widespread criticism.

Reddit user DaPurpleDerpleOf highlighted the disparity between the readily available Lore Banners and the difficult-to-acquire nameplates. Many players find Lore Banners aesthetically pleasing, further fueling the argument for a system change. The proposed solution—transforming Lore Banners into nameplate rewards—offers a simple yet effective way to address player concerns.

Beyond the battle pass, Marvel Rivals features a Proficiency Point system rewarding players for mastering characters. While this system offers various rewards, the absence of nameplates as Proficiency rewards is a major point of contention. Players argue that nameplates are an ideal representation of skill and mastery, making their exclusion from Proficiency rewards a missed opportunity. Many commenters have described the addition of nameplates to the Proficiency system as an obvious and necessary improvement.

The recent Season 1 update introduced significant changes, including the addition of Sue Storm and Mister Fantastic from the Fantastic Four, along with new maps and game modes. The remaining Fantastic Four members are slated for release later, with Season 1 expected to run until mid-April. The ongoing debate surrounding the reward system highlights the importance of player feedback in shaping the future of Marvel Rivals.
