Despite some players asking for it, NetEase has no plans to implement a role queue/lock in Marvel Rivals and explains why.

NetEase Games shows zero tolerance for Marvel Rivals cheaters with an unprecedented punishment that's delighting the community.

Marvel Rivals landed with a wide roster, boasting 33 heroes when it launched on December 5. Just over a month later, the hero shooter's received two additions to its lineup, thanks to the arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman with the advent of Season 1.

Marvel Rivals can't save you from getting nom-nom'd by Jeff the Shark's tough-to-dodge ultimate, but the hero shooter's game director does have some advice for avoiding it. So far, NetEase in general has been pretty hands-off when it comes to balance in Marvel Rivals - although it did get its first balance patch with Season 1 - and that approach very much extends to the game's lovable but also very hateable anti-hero,

NetEase has confirmed Marvel Rivals will receive a new hero every month and a half, but won't be adding enforced roles. Speaking to Metro, game director Guangyun Chen was asked about the cadence of heroes joining the game.
