Players are curr💞ently in a honeymoon phase, but this game has a lot of issues that people are going to get loud♕ about as the months go on.

I agree that a lot of the heroes are horribly imbalanced. Some hero ultimates/abilities genuinely fee𒐪l like afterthoughts. Like the developers HAD to give 'x' character an ultimate, so they gave them some basic ability that is clearly dwarfed by another characters ultimate that does the same thing, but better.

The visual clutter is a major issue too. I thought Overwatch could be bad at times, but some of the team fights in Marvel Rivals quickly become visually and audi🐎bly disorienting. It's often harder than it should be to tell who has popped their ult. All of the visual e🔴ffects and audio cues blend together too much.

Then you have the horrible progression system. Pre-release, I thought it was great that the devs talked about battlepasses lasting forever. But everything is tied to challenges, and you barely get ꦓany of the tokens to progress that battlepass at a reasonaꦿble rate. Even buying the premium pass, I was only able to buy a spray after completing ALL of the daily challenges and a few of the weeklies. Even playing every day, it's going to be difficult to finish the pass before the next one is released, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's developed in a way to practically FORCE you to buy tiers if you want to collect everything in each pass within a reasonable timeframe. Furthermore, the currency EXPIRES at the end of each season.

Like, it sucks that overwatch battlepasses expire at the end of each season, but🅠 at least I can finish them quickly if I play regularly.

Overall,ꦉ Rivals will be fine for a while because of the IP, but they have a lot of🏅 work ahead of them if they want the game to last years.
