NetEase's Anti-Smurfing Measures

NetEase Games is taking a firm stance against smurfing in Marvel Rivals, a practice where high-ranked players create new accounts to dominate lower-tier matches. This disrupts fair competition and frustrates legitimate players. Recent reports indicate that the developer is now sending direct warnings to suspected smurfs, threatening account suspensions or bans if the behavior continues.

Smurfing has been a persistent issue since the game's December 2024 launch. While some players see it as harmless fun, it creates an unbalanced experience for newcomers and casual gamers. NetEase's new policy aims to preserve the integrity of ranked play and ensure a fair environment for all.

Season 3 Content Highlights

The latest season introduces a wealth of new content, including:

• Symbiote-themed skins for Squirrel Girl, Jeff the Land Shark, Spider-Man, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot.
• Phoenix Force variants for Emma Frost and Wolverine, giving them striking new appearances.
• A summer event featuring swimsuit cosmetics and a tie-in with The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie.

Additionally, Season 3.5 is set to launch on August 8, introducing Blade as a playable character.
