Summary
AMarvel Rivalsplayer shared an unusual warning they got when they asked for a tank and healer during hero selection. Since launching in early December,Marvel Rivalshas gained millions of players around the world, quickly becoming a success in the hero shooter category.
As a PvP game, developer NetEase Games hasimplemented safeguards inMarvel Rivalsagainst cheatersand any form of toxicity to keep gameplay fun and healthy for everyone. This also includes filtering inappropriate words in chat messages, faction descriptions, and more.
Meanwhile, a player called jerdojekokot received an odd warning when they typed “tank and healer” in chat, asking their teammates to play Vanguard and Strategist. In a screenshot shared on Reddit, it showed thatMarvel Rivalsflagged their message as containing “inappropriate content,” which understandably confused the player and other people in the comment section.
Marvel Rivals Flags ‘Tank and Healer’ as Inappropriate Content
Despite the confusion, manyMarvel Rivalsfans found the warning funny, mostly because it seemed silly that the game would think that “tank and healer” was an inappropriate phrase. Some also joked that this could be propaganda against the “minority played classes,” which throws shade at the fact that players mostly pick Duelists due to the game’s lack of a role queue.Marvel Rivals' developers have already addressed the demands for role queues, saying that their goal is diversity in team compositions.
InMarvel Rivals' hero selection screen, there’s an alert if a team needs a Vanguard (tank) or Strategist (healer), but it still allows games to start if the conditions aren’t met.There’s no explanation yet as to why typing “tank and healer” in considered inappropriate content in chat. This also isn’t the first time that the game censored a seemingly harmless word, asanotherMarvel Rivalsplayer shared on Redditthat using the word “rivals” is also being blocked in the game. It’s possible that this could be a glitch, but NetEase has yet to address the situation or fix the issue.
It’s been less than a month since the full version ofMarvel Rivalslaunched, so there will be occasional bugs and glitches in the game. Aside from the disconnect problem that NetEase fixed recently, a lot of the bugs aren’t necessarily disrupting the overall experience. Meanwhile, some people have also reported other concerning issues, like the possibility of havingbots in theirMarvel Rivalsmatches, as they noticed alleged unnatural movement from other players. However, NetEase hasn’t confirmed the existence of bots in the game.
