Marvel Rivals has already taken the internet by storm with NetEase’s free-to-play 6v6 shooter leaving top games like Overwatch 2 out in the dust. The game has included features like 6v6 lobbies, no role lock, and expansive maps and game modes that have made players of Blizzard’s popular shooter switch to Rivals.
One Overwatch 2 pro named Flats is one of the many such users who can’t get enough of Marvel Rivals and now he’s found yet another reason to love the game even further. The reason is that a method that allows players to easily report cheaters and get them banned in no time. Here’s how the method works in the game.
Marvel Rivals feature allows players to report and ban cheaters instantly
Overwatch pro Flats shared a video clip where he stumbled upon a feature in Marvel Rivals where you can report a cheater or another player from the replay viewer. To do so, you need to launch a replay of a recent match you were a part of and once you’re in the viewer, head to Settings, and under the Match tab, you’ll see the names of your team members and the enemy team.
Then click the Exclamation Mark Triangle icon next to the player name to Report them directly. Flats wanted to report a player named “kinectic” who was allegedly cheating during a game. As soon as you click the icon, the Report Player screen provides you with six options – Inappropriate Nickname, Text Chat Abuse, Voice Chat Abuse, Throwing, Cheating, and Inappropriate Content.
Flats chose Cheating as that was his reason to get the player in question banned but you can choose your own reason for reporting. But that’s not the only catch. As soon as Flats presses the Next button, the game shows another screen that tells them that the cheater they just reported already has been reported several times and is now facing a ban from the game altogether.
The instant reporting and response from the dev team amazed Flats as they wished Overwatch to implement this feature for a long time. Similar players who saw the feature were amazed as well where one said, “Responding to cheaters fast is going to be the savior of the game.” Another one commented, “The W’s keep coming with Rivals.”
