Overview
- The official Marvel Rivals account announced a planned combat behavior detection system to identify AFK proficiency farming that disrupts matches.
- Players caught farming may receive warnings, short- or long-term suspensions, or permanent account bans, according to the developers.
- The exploit involves standing still and spamming abilities to quickly gain hero proficiency points, which players report leads to one-sided games.
- Season 6 expanded the hero proficiency track to 70 levels with more cosmetic rewards, a change outlets and players say has incentivized farming.
- Community response has largely welcomed enforcement while urging fixes for the grind and other issues such as intentional match-throwing.
