Some gamers are hoping that Season 4 and 5 will focus on adding more Vanguards and Strategists to the title.

Now, at the end of a match, the UI will display just how much progress players have made toward completing challenges. The images they shared showcased the UI tracking their progress through seasonal missions and the Milano Repair Logs event. In addition to showing how much progress has been made, the game also shows which rewards can now be claimed, or what players will be able to claim in the near future.
Marvel Rivals Players Are Enjoying the Season 3 UI Changes
Alongside the UI improvements, it seems as if NetEase Games has made changes to its system that allow it to trackaccounts suspected of smurfing inMarvel Rivals. Once the system flags a player who has engaged in smurfing, it issues an immediate warning, stating that continuing to engage in the activity will have consequences. While the warning doesn’t state exactly what will happen to people breaking the rule, many players suspect that NetEase Games could issue suspensions or even bans to prevent the activity from continuing. While gamers have been able to report players for smurfing in the past, this new detection system demonstrates NetEase Games' commitment to reducing the issue as much as possible.
A recentroadmap for Season 3 ofMarvel Rivalsrevealed that its next major update, which will launch Season 3.5, will make its debut on August 8. This update will add Blade to the game, a hero who has been teased since the release of Season 1, where the hero was taken captive by the villain Dracula. With a whole new season to enjoy and even more content just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future ofMarvel Rivals.
