Like its main competition, OverwatchI would argue that about the worst part Marvel Rivals Its community. While you can certainly run into friendly and funny teammates from time to time, toxicity is rampant in NetEase's hero shooter. Personally, I've seen people throw a game purely because one of my teams picked Jeff the Land Shark, I've seen players try to surrender after one bad fight, and I've lost a few competitive games because of quitters. Problematic gamers make regulars Marvel Rivals Less fun than it should be, so I can see why the idea of vengeful gamers going out of their way to punish them is so appealing. However, the reality is that doing so only makes things worse.
Marvel Rivals Bounty hunting website Intellist has recently gone viral for allowing players to earn real money by ruining the games of target players. If an upset player posts a bounty on a gripper or thrower, the odd player's name will be added to the Intellist website, and bounty hunters found on their team will be tasked with causing grief or throwing the match. On the day this story broke, I saw Marvel Rivals Players are celebrating the idea of bounty hunting, perhaps reading headlines about bereaved mourners and taking it as a positive. However, intlist is anything but good for games Marvel RivalsBecause it doesn't take long to identify major flaws in the system.
intlist doesn't just offer bounties Marvel RivalsBut a range of competitive sports, incl Counter-Strike 2, Deadlock, League of Legends, Overwatchand brave.
Bounty hunting of Marvel Rivals only punishes regular players
When you think about the type of player that is willing to throw a game Marvel RivalsIt should be immediately clear that trolling them back is unlikely to have much effect. These bad players tend to play for hours on end at a loss, making no sense to occasional players. They are also likely to have alt accounts, making any attempt to troll them back seem even more pointless, as they can switch to one of them if their SR gets too low. If they're willing to skip the second game they see something they don't like in a team comp, it's hard to imagine them caring when teammates throw it to “punish them.” They'll just shrug it off and continue to be their rude selves in a different game.

If the mourners don't care about being sad in the end, the only players who really suffer are the four random teammates trying to complete the bounty on the original troll and the inlist's paid troll. Even more disappointing is that intlist seems to be well aware of this issue. Per IGN, the social media account for intlist previously stated that “collateral damage is an unfortunate cost of war.” Ultimately, though, this argument falls flat due to the sheer amount of collateral damage. Getting 80% of the listed pay, only the person taking the bounty benefit, and they are also taking the loss. Everyone on the team – not just Sorrow, but four Marvel Rivals Players who had no choice in who they were stuck with – suffered.
Intlist's Bounty Hunting creates a slippery slope, and only Intlist can cross it.
Intellist's bounty hunts are problematic not only because they create more throwers, but because there aren't enough steps in place to prevent good players from being wrongly targeted by bounty hunters. famous Marvel Rivals Twitch streamer Jay3, who never dumps his games, was listed as a bounty on the website, possibly by a troll trying to mess with the streamer. This is an obvious red flag as there is a lot of evidence against Jay3 being problematic, and it opens the door for any player to receive the bounty placed on them by truly toxic players. Then, there's the fact that the players who carry these bounties are becoming miserable themselves, and are liable to be added to the bounty list by one of the four teammates whose game is ruined by the drama. This creates an endless loop where only the profits are listed, deducting 20% of it from each bounty as more and more are added and the matches get progressively worse.
The temporary removal of Intlist is a chance for a moment of clarity
This bounty hunting website has stopped profiting for a short time The Marvel RivalsCommunity outcry forced its removal due to security issues, it is reportedly in the middle of a rebuilding process so that e-mail addresses cannot be leaked online. Before Intellist comes back, or another bounty hunting website replaces it, I thought I'd do my part to warn anyone who supports these bounty hunts of the problems they can cause. I may just be a run-of-the-mill Diamond Vanguard, but I've seen my fair share of throwers before this crap started, so I cringe at the thought of that number increasing due to some useless bounty hunts.
… The classic phrase 'two wrongs don't make a right' rings true when it comes to video game bounty hunting.
Mourning the bereaved is unlikely to make them less toxic; You are becoming part of the problem just for a few extra dollars. Bounty hunting sites like Intlist are hoping for accurate reactions from players in the headlines about the concept, because it's easy to see the grieving being punished as a win if players don't actually see what that punishment entails. If they put some thought into it, though, they'll realize why users on social media sites like Reddit are desperate for NetEase to intervene and shut down Intellist. The report system exists for a reason, after all. It's not instant, and it's not perfect, and it's up to NetEase to take action against problematic users, but it's infinitely better than adding to the problem.
Even in a perfect world where skilled players were only picking those who mourn spawns instead of actively quitting or throwing games, there's a case to be made that the list would still be problematic. While good, those types of bounties will only return Marvel Rivals Fits into 5v5s, preventing the game from playing the way it was meant to be played. At the end of the day, the classic phrase “two wrongs don't make a right” rings true when it comes to video game bounty hunting. As someone who loves and wants to play sports Marvel Rivals To thrive in the coming years, I beg you – don't be part of the problem by supporting or participating Marvel Rivals' Absurd bounty hunting.
