If you’re playing Marvel Rivals and still annoyed there’s no role queue, better get used to it, as it seems it won’t be implemented anytime soon.

For those unaware, a role queue in hero shooters means there’s an equal number of roles per team. As an example: in a game like Marvel Rivals where there are six players, a team composition with role queue should look like 2-2-2, which translates to: two damage heroes, two support heroes, and two tanks.

Unfortunately for you role queue fans, NetEase really has no plans to implement it anytime soon.

NetEase Really Thinks Marvel Rivals Is a Better Game Because There Is No Role Queue

In an interview with Metro UK, Marvel Rivals director Guangyun Chen explains why he doesn’t think the game needs a role queue system.

“Yeah, so we totally get that the community is discussing role lock and role queue. At its core, it’s really about the game balance. So, what we want to offer is more line-up or more team comp possibilities through our hero design and our team-up mechanic. So, we’ll be taking a little bit more of a Marvel-inspired approach,” states Chen.

Continuing with that, Chen adds, “It’s all about giving the players the freedom to experiment and find their unique strategies, as we’ve seen in many games and streams. Post-launch, people have been exploring an indefinite amount of team compositions, and we’re excited about what’s coming, we believe no role queue will lead to a richer gaming experience for everyone.”

Well, there you have it, folks! If you really want a hero shooter with role queue, there’s another one available right now.

While it’s been over a month since the game launched, it’s showing no signs of slowing down. On the contrary, the first season of Marvel Rivals managed to establish new player count highs.

In other Marvel Rivals news, NetEase has spoken out against mouse and keyboard adapters, and you’ll be glad to hear what the studio has to say about it.
