If you’ve been eagerly waiting for NetEase Games to bring a role lock feature to Marvel Rivals, the solution might have taken an unexpected turn. Rather than adopting Overwatch’s traditional approach to queues and balance, they’re mixing things up with an entirely new mode. This mode restricts each team to choose only two heroes, allowing for mirrored matches if players desire. It’s a fresh opportunity for those curious about playing identical strategies against opponents.
Enter ‘Clone Rumble,’ where the mechanics are straightforward: teams vote on one hero each for a multiplayer match, and every player can opt between these choices. This setup means your entire team could end up deploying Groot’s barriers, launching Luna Snow’s ultimate attacks, or reviving with Adam Warlock. Is this setup bound to be wild? Absolutely yes. Will it be simple to follow the action? Certainly not.
Forget the standard team strategies you’re used to in Marvel Rivals. With this setup, both sides have the liberty to pile on powers and ultimates, forging unbeatable combos. While balance might go out the window, the idea of encircling foes with six Scarlet Witch ultimates certainly makes me grin.
As part of the event, there’s also a board game full of collectibles like nameplates, emotes, sprays, and units—320 to be exact. If you’re looking to gather some in-game currency for your next Marvel Rivals skin, participating in these challenges is your chance. Plus, Black Widow is sporting a new look inspired by her 1872 comic, where she weds Bucky Barnes. Her western gunslinger outfit is enough incentive to dive into the action.
NetEase Games announced the start of Clone Rumble on Friday, March 7, though the duration of the event remains a mystery.
