Streamers are furious about Marvel Rivals tournament changes

It is known by many that Marvel Rivals is the hottest game of the moment. But that can mean many things. Streamers are furious about Marvel Rivals have launched the game forward in popularity, but not for the best reasons. We at Infinite Start will do our best to cover what’s happening.

Many undesirable changes

In the popular streaming platform known as Twitch, there has been plans to make a proper tournament for the game. However, things went south when many rules changes were introduced that caused the collective fury of the community. Twitch Rivals is an embarrassing attempt to host eSports competitions for the game.

Due to the lack of organization, streamers are furious about the changes enacted in the last minute. These changes to the rules range from balancing changes, to something more egregious, that part being matchmaking. In games like this, it is important to be able to fight against those who are in your same level. Being able to do so rewards both viewers and players alike with more engaging matches.

However, it was decided by Twitch Rivals that its better to let absolute professionals destroy people who play for fun. This is totally unfun according to many streamers who actually do oppose such ruling changes. Seeding brackets can be a hard task to carry out, but there’s no reason as to why this change should have taken effect in the first place.

It is understandable why Streamers are furious about this situation, because it can affect the community in the long run. Being able to play fair and square is usually what tournament organizers should aim for, but it seems that they missed the mark. Even if the decide to change that, they still have to deal with the fact that there’s balancing issues with bans.

It is such a flop that this situation happened, since streamers are furious about this, it can cause damage to the reputation of the game. And that is something nobody on the community desires.
