Strategic placements of bots might help regain a player’s confidence, but it also takes away from the essence of an online game. It can very easily take away the feeling of achievement after realizing you were faced with a bot, which players do not appreciate at all.

NetEase should realize that players do not appreciate the involvement of bots and come up with a fix. For players facing a losing streak, the developer could think of other ways to help regain their confidence other than placing bots. The developers have already once stabbed its players in the back.

NetEase should address this problem with its player community

The game is relatively young and shaping up to be a great success; however, this is also the most crucial time for the developers to help establish the game in a positive light.

Indeed, Marvel Rivals is not devoid of any flaws; however, addressing these problems and coming up with a fix is what matters at the end of the day, and the developer should realize this.

Marvel Rivals has a lot of potential to become even more successful than it already is in the future. However, it all depends on the actions of the developer that might or might not work in the favor of the game in the long run. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
