Summary
-
Marvel Rivals fans push hard back hard on a recently introduced object called Chrono Shield Cards, which can be used to prevent points from being lost in ranked matches.
-
Most of the concerns are true around inflation, players who potentially abuse them to throw matches and the potential for Netase to make these paid items along the line.
-
Netease has insured players who will not happen, and they can only be used in gold and below, but these insurance has not done much to stop calls to remove the articles completely.
Marvel -Rivals are a little mess right now. You have complaints about overpowered, immortal characters such as Iron Fist and Captain America, support to be bullied by fifty different dive players, and the ranked system that gives you points based on individual performance is extremely inadequate and gives DPS an unfair boost.
In an attempt to inject some positivity into the game, Netease has introduced a new Galacta gift event, which you can participate in T earn free rewards and a costume coin. It's a pretty nice little event, but everyone can talk about right now are the new Chrono Shield cards, which are recently introduced consumables that will prevent you from losing points in ranked position.
Marvel Rival's fans believe that Chrono Shield cards will cause “server rank inflation”
Almost immediately, Marvel Rival's fans took to social media to really drive home how much of a horrible idea this is, and claims that the cards will almost certainly cause “server -wide rank inflation”, a problem that Marvel Rival's fans have to do for a while. It has also been pointed out that even if you can earn 8 cards from Galaca's gift event, the limit you can have 20, which means there will be ways to get more in the future.

It opens up the door to Netease Making Chrono Shield cards paid items along the line, and although it has assured the fans that this will not be the case – and that they can only be used in gold rankings and below – you never know what can happen one or two years below the line.
Even then, there are still concerns about these cards that inflate the lower rankings further, as there is already a Chrono Shield system in place down there. Toss these new cards on top, and it can be extremely easy to get close to a rank, spam a bunch of Chrono Shield cards and then get into a rank that you should undoubtedly not be in, deteriorating matches for them in higher rank.
There is also concern that the system is easy to abuse, as someone can collect 20 Chrono Shield cards and throw 20 games in a row without repercussions, apart from maybe a light ban for a week or two. It just seems like a pretty bad idea overall, and something that Netease should probably reconsider if it wants its competitive audience to stay. I have heard a small game called Overwatch 2 is going pretty well right now.
