Summary
- Marvel Rivals players are frustrated by the difficulty of obtaining nameplates without spending money.
- A Reddit user suggested converting Lore Banners into nameplate rewards to address this issue.
- Players advocate for adding nameplates as Proficiency rewards to showcase character mastery.
Marvel Rivals players are voicing concerns about the game's reward system, particularly the scarcity of nameplates unless players opt for in-app purchases. A Reddit user, DaPurpleDerpleOf, proposed a simple solution: repurposing Lore Banners as nameplate rewards. This addresses player frustration with the current system, where nameplates, a key method of player self-expression, are difficult to obtain organically. Some players even find Lore Banners aesthetically superior.
Launched in December 2024, Marvel Rivals recently released its highly anticipated Season 1 update, building on the initial Season 0 content. While Season 0 offered a limited selection of rewards and skins, Season 1 boasts an expanded battle pass with ten character skins, along with other customization options like nameplates, sprays, and emotes. However, the perceived difficulty in acquiring nameplates has sparked considerable online discussion.
Beyond the battle pass, Marvel Rivals features a Proficiency system rewarding players for mastering characters through gameplay actions. Players argue that adding nameplates to Proficiency rewards would be a logical addition, showcasing skill and dedication. The current Proficiency rewards are considered insufficient, with many players calling for expanded tiers and rewards. The addition of nameplates as Proficiency rewards is seen as a "no-brainer" by some players.
The recent Season 1 update introduced significant changes, including the addition of Sue Storm and Mister Fantastic from the Fantastic Four, alongside new maps and game modes. The remaining Fantastic Four members are slated for release later in the season, which is expected to run until mid-April.
