Marvel Rivals introduced an upgrade to its hero proficiency system last week, allowing players to earn new rewards. Many of these rewards–including the brag-worthy Lord icons–require a considerable amount of grinding to achieve, which has led to the rise of “Lord farming” amongst the playerbase.
Essentially, players aren’t moving after they spawn into a match, as they spam their abilities to earn proficiency points safely. This has led to some very one-sided matches, and developer NetEase says it’ll address this problem in a future update. There’s no date yet for when this update will go live, but players can expect some severe penalties if they’re caught farming stats this way.

Now Playing: Marvel Rivals – Deadpool Character Gameplay Reveal Trailer | The Merc with a Mouth
“Recently, we’ve noticed that some players are exploiting matches by remaining stationary and repeatedly farming stats to gain hero proficiency points,” NetEase wrote online. “This behavior disrupts normal gameplay and seriously affects the match experience of other players. To address this, we are planning to introduce a combat behavior detection system. Players found engaging in such behavior may face penalties including, but not limited to: warnings, short-term suspensions, long-term suspensions, or permanent account bans. We ask all players to help us maintain a fair and healthy game environment.”
Outside of players suddenly developing concrete feet, Marvel Rivals has expanded with several new modes and heroes over the last couple of months. Rogue and Gambit made their grand debut the previous year, and Deadpool was added to the game when Season 6 began on January 16. Designed to be a Jack-of-all-trades character, Deadpool can serve as a Duelist, Vanguard, or Strategist hero, and he can upgrade his abilities throughout a match.
Season 6 also added team-up balance changes, the Collector’s museum, a dueling arena, and a photo mode. The next Marvel Rivals hero will be the monster-hunter Elsa Bloodstone, who’ll arrive halfway through the current season.
