Summary
Marvel Rivalsfans are expressing their frustration with the new Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol game mode, which offers various rewards to people who play it. NetEase Games recently launchedMarvel Rivals' major Season 2.5 update and added the popular villain Ultron to the hero shooter as a flying Strategist. Many people were excited to get their hands on the new healer, but others have expressed concerns about the number of flying characters in the title.
Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol made its debut inMarvel Rivalson June 6 and is scheduled to stick around through June 23. The new game mode places a strong emphasis on strategy, as players choose a full team of heroes to engage in a 6v6 team fight against other participants. At the beginning of a match, gamers place their heroes on a grid and purchase upgrades that can help their team in the upcoming fight. These upgrades can provide a wide variety of benefits, including increasing the stats of heroes or reducing the cooldowns on their abilities. While players can use some abilities to heal their team or dish out a little damage, once a match begins, gamers largely sit back and watch as their team dukes it out with opponents.
In a recent post on Reddit, Hades-Phoenix claimed that Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol is the worst game mode added to the popular hero shooter so far. They stated that the addition of leaderboards, which made their debut withMarvel Rivals' Giant-Size Brain Blast game mode, took a lot of the fun out of the experience. They also suggested that the matches take too long to complete and don’t yield high enough rewards. When playing, the top three players are rewarded with points, while gamers who fall below that mark lose points.
Marvel Rivals Fans Are Disappointed With Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol
In the comments, Tsonchi claimed that their first match ofMarvel Rivals' new game modetook them over 45 minutes to complete, which prevented them from engaging with it further. It’s important to note that completing three matches rewards players with the “Ultron -1” spray, while finishing 10 matches allows players to claim the “Acceptable” emoji. Meanwhile, the most time-consuming reward appears to be the “Think, Human!” emoji, which requires players to accumulate 2,000 points in Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol.
Maskers_Theodolite had a different opinion, stating that they truly enjoyMarvel Rivals' auto-chess-style game modeand hope that it sticks around permanently. Some people suggested that the game mode just doesn’t fit inMarvel Rivals, as there may not be a large amount of overlap between fans of auto chess and those who enjoy hero shooters. Despite a few hiccups with Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future ofMarvel Rivals.
