Summary
- Fans criticize Marvel Rivals for the difficulty in obtaining nameplates without spending money.
- A Reddit user proposed converting Lore Banners into nameplate rewards to address the issue.
- Players argue that Proficiency rewards should include nameplates to showcase skill and mastery.
Marvel Rivals enthusiasts have expressed frustration over the game's reward system, particularly the challenges in acquiring nameplates without spending real money. Launched in December 2024, Marvel Rivals introduced its Season 0 with limited rewards and skins. The subsequent Season 1 update, released a month later, expanded the battle pass to include ten character skins and various customization options like nameplates, sprays, and emotes. However, the method of obtaining nameplates has sparked debate among players.
On the Marvel Rivals fan hub on Reddit, user DaPurpleDerpleOf highlighted the issue with how the game distributes Lore Banners and nameplates. Nameplates, which allow players to stand out, often require a significant grind through the battle pass or a monetary purchase, which many players are unwilling to make. DaPurpleDerpleOf suggested a solution: converting Lore Banners, which some fans find more appealing, into nameplate rewards.
Marvel Rivals also features a Proficiency Points system, earned by playing and mastering the game's characters. While the system offers various rewards, fans believe nameplates should be included to reflect their skill and mastery. One player noted that the Proficiency rewards are "super lacking" and hoped for more tiers and rewards in future updates. Another player called the inclusion of nameplates in Proficiency rewards a "no-brainer," emphasizing the satisfaction of earning such rewards as they improve with each character.
The recent Season 1 update brought significant changes, including the addition of Sue Storm and Mister Fantastic from The Fantastic Four, along with new maps and modes. The rest of The Fantastic Four team is expected to join the game later, with Season 1 set to continue until mid-April.
