Marvel Rivals: Players Suggest Proficiency Reward Overhaul

Summary

• Marvel Rivals players are frustrated by the difficulty of obtaining nameplates without spending money.
• A Reddit user suggested converting Lore Banners into nameplate rewards to address this issue.
• Players advocate for adding nameplates to Proficiency rewards to showcase character mastery.

Many Marvel Rivals players are unhappy with the game's reward system, particularly the scarcity of nameplates, which are often only obtainable through in-app purchases. A Reddit user, DaPurpleDerpleOf, proposed a solution: converting Lore Banners into nameplate rewards. This suggestion stems from the perception that Lore Banners are visually less appealing than nameplates, and the current system makes nameplates difficult to acquire for free-to-play players. Nameplates are a significant form of player self-expression, second only to skins.

Released just a month ago, Marvel Rivals recently launched its highly anticipated Season 1 update. Season 0 offered a limited selection of rewards, but Season 1's battle pass boasts ten character skins and numerous other customization options, including nameplates, sprays, and emotes. However, the current system's emphasis on paid acquisition of certain nameplates fuels ongoing player discontent.

DaPurpleDerpleOf's Reddit post highlighted the disparity between the abundance of Lore Banners and the scarcity of nameplates. The post sparked a wider discussion about the game's reward structure.

Beyond the battle pass, Marvel Rivals features a Proficiency Point system that rewards players for mastering characters. While this system offers various rewards, the lack of nameplates as Proficiency rewards is a major point of contention among players. Many feel that adding nameplates to this system would be a logical and rewarding addition, reflecting skill and playtime. The suggestion has been widely supported, with players calling it a "no-brainer."

The recent Season 1 update introduced 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 in the season, which is expected to run until mid-April.
