Marvel Rivals Regrets Mistaken Bans

NetEase's Marvel Rivals mistakenly bans innocent players. The developer, NetEase, issued an apology for wrongfully banning numerous players who weren't cheating. The error primarily affected Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck users employing compatibility layers.

These bans, implemented during a crackdown on cheaters, were lifted after NetEase identified the issue. The company urged players to report actual cheating and offered an appeal process for those unjustly banned. Proton, the SteamOS compatibility layer, is known for triggering anti-cheat systems.

Separately, players are calling for the implementation of character bans across all ranks. Currently, this feature is only available at Diamond rank and above, leading to frustration among lower-ranked players who feel disadvantaged by the lack of strategic options. The community argues that extending this feature to all ranks would improve gameplay balance and provide learning opportunities for newer players. NetEase has yet to publicly respond to this request.
