Marvel Rivals needs key Overwatch 2 feature to promote positivity
Marvel Rivals needs to take notes from Overwatch 2 regarding one certain feature, which can help combat toxicity if done right.
While Marvel Rivals looks and feels completely different from its hero shooter competitor, Overwatch 2, it’s no secret that both titles have often been compared. For one, many players are glad thatthe latter does certain things betterthan its competitor.
One thing that comes to mind is how devs have beenactively banning cheats and toxic players. Of course, it’s a good thing that they’re doing this to keep the community happy.
However, there’s just one particular feature from Overwatch 2 related to player behavior that the community can’t help but also want to be added to the game, begging devs to implement it with a twist.
Players call for an endorsement system but with actual rewards
In Overwatch 2, players are able to endorse teammates if they think they’ve performed well or were generally supportive during the match. It’s all up to the individual’s choice. The way this works is that the more you endorse and get endorsed by others as you play, the higher your endorsement level will be.
The only problem is that depending on your level, you only receive XP as a reward – which, in a way, doesn’t do much. Hence why, one user in aReddit threadexplained that a similar feature would benefit Marvel Rivals players, but only if it has a more rewarding system.
“Most people see toxicity as a report and move on, and then ‘I’ll make another account scenario.’ People only care about bans when they’ve spent money or have grinded tons,” they wrote.

However, giving players something “that can be taken away from their account/earned by being kind and good in the game is something that can only breed more positivity.”
An example of this is giving consistently endorsed players period experience andChrono Tokens, with the highest level getting a player title. Another idea is to make the endorsement level matter in order to play competitive and quick play, requiring players to “maintain positive action.”
Many other players who jumped into the comments share the same sentiment, suggesting that devs should addcosmetics as rewardsfor high endorsement.
Some players argued this won’t exactlyremove toxicity. However, if implemented well, this would “create a space” where it pays to act kindly toward another.
