Marvel Rivals players thought underwhelming feature would be ‘a lot more important than it ended up being’
This Marvel Rivals feature is dying a slow death.


Marvel Rivals sets itself apart from other hero shooters with its highly destructible environments, letting players break walls, ceilings, and entire structures to shift the tide of battle. In theory, this should make the game more strategic—removing an enemy’s cover or creating shortcuts for teammates sounds like a solid way to shake things up. But in practice, one of the game’s biggest map-changing features has fallen flat.
The mechanic that was expected to make destruction more tactical hasn’t really lived up to expectations. Players assumed it would be crucial for setting up game-winning plays, but the reality is that most of them barely touch it.
