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 fans have expressed frustration over the game's reward system, particularly the challenge of acquiring nameplates without spending real money. Launched in December 2024, Marvel Rivals debuted with its Season 0 cycle, offering a limited selection of rewards and skins. The recently released Season 1 update, however, significantly expanded the battle pass with ten character skins and various customization items like nameplates, sprays, and emotes. Despite these additions, the community's dissatisfaction with the availability of nameplates has sparked discussions online.
Reddit user DaPurpleDerpleOf highlighted the issue on the Marvel Rivals fan hub, pointing out the difficulty in unlocking nameplates through the battle pass and the fact that some are only available for purchase with real money. This user suggested a solution: converting Lore Banners, which some fans find more appealing, into nameplate rewards.
In addition to the battle pass, Marvel Rivals features a Proficiency Points system, where players earn points by engaging with the game's characters, dealing damage, and defeating enemies. While this system offers various rewards, fans argue that nameplates should be included to reflect players' skill and mastery. One player noted that "Proficiency rewards are super lacking," expressing hope for more tiers and rewards in the future, while another called the inclusion of nameplates a "no-brainer."
Marvel Rivals' Season 1 update, which began recently, introduced significant changes, including new characters 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 run until mid-April.
