Marvel Rivals Planning to Add Fan Requested Quality of Life Update

Summary

Lord Icons are coming to Marvel Rivals hero selection wheel.
Fans requested this change on the game’s subreddit.
Dev team is receptive to feedback and plans on making the feature more prominent.

Marvel Rivals has confirmed that Lord Icons will appear on the hero selection wheel. Once the update goes live, players will be able to showcase their main characters before each match and potentially use this feature as a hero pinning option to select their main characters more quickly. Marvel Rivals fans had previously posted several requests for this change on the game’s subreddit. Fortunately, the development team appears to be receptive to the feedback and is already working on it.

Lord Icons have stirred some controversy since the launch of the popular hero shooter. While many players equip them proudly as badges of honor, others argue that these cosmetics only fuel online toxicity. Critics claim that unlocking Marvel Rivals’ Lord Icons doesn’t necessarily reflect skill, as grinding for them is relatively easy. Yet some players use them to belittle others. Despite the ongoing debate, the development team seems satisfied with how the icons function and plans to make them even more prominent in upcoming updates.

Marvel Rivals Season 2 is Causing Some Headaches for PC Gamers

Marvel Rivals Season 2 is finally here, bringing with it big changes and a new character, but also a frustrating issue for PC players.

As reported by VideoGamer, Marvel Games’ executive producer Danny Koo recently confirmed on Twitter that Lord Icons are coming to the character wheel. While announcing Marvel Rivals’ second season, Hellfire Gala, Koo responded to a fan requesting the feature by saying, “Yes, it’s on the list of to-do.” Although he didn’t provide a release window, the feature is likely to arrive with the upcoming Season 2.5 patch because it is relatively minor and falls under quality-of-life improvements. For those curious, Season 2.5 of the game is speculated to launch in late May.

Marvel Rivals’ Lord Icons Will Be Displayed on the Hero Selection Wheel

When Marvel Rivals added hero proficiency icons to the heroes tab, fans praised the devs for listening to community feedback. Although it was a small change, it helped players track character progression, especially for those trying to max out multiple heroes. Now, the community seems to be responding positively once again to the recent news, with many suggesting that repurposing Lord Icons and incorporating them into more areas of the game could motivate more players to grind for them.

One of the remaining criticisms of the character proficiency system is its lack of diverse rewards. Some fans have suggested adding another proficiency level to Marvel Rivals beyond Lord, with more challenging missions. Others want multiple Lord Icons for each character, possibly themed to match the player’s unlocked skins. However, it’s unclear how many of these requests the development team will take into account moving forward.
