Marvel Rivalsis a hero shooter that encompasses heroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With many of the franchise’s characters already in the game, it has attracted many gamers and gained high popularity among streamers.
Marvel Rivals is all about doing competitive six-versus-six team battles with powerful Heros to compete for objectives. Heros can have a huge variety of skills, some downright dwarfing others with just their abilities. With pure skill, these Heroes can overcome any strategy by the enemy team and tip the entire game balance. This is where the Cosmic Selection comes into play.
What Is Cosmic Selection In Marvel Rivals?
Cosmic Selection is a Hero ban systemthat is only valid on ranks aboveDiamond three. With the Cosmic Selection,each team can vote to ban Heros for the entire game,which won’t be available for the match.
Each player canvote for one hero at the start of the roundto add characters to the banned slot. The hero with thehighest number of votesgets banned.
This allows high-ranking players to develop more strategies in their games, avoid losing to uncounterable clever combo moves by multiple heroes, and avoid constantly getting one-shot by Hawkeye.
Cosmic Selection In Tournaments
In tournaments, Cosmic Selection works a bit differently. Heros areselected exclusively by team leaders without the voting system. Each team leader can selecttwo charactersto be banned andone character to be protectedfrom being banned by the enemy team.
Each team leader takes turns selecting the characters that go into the ban slot and the protected slot.
What Heroes Are Likely To Be Banned?
Hela, Hawkeye, and Doctor Strangeare some characters that are likely to be picked in Cosmic Selection. Hawkeye can one-shot most damage-dealers, and healers with a headshot. Hela also does very high head shot damage. Doctor Strange’sportalis an extremely versatile skill and his ultimate skill can be used to easily turn the tides of battles.
Ultimately, what Heros are to be banned is up to the players' choices. Also, it’s possible that more Heros could be selected for Cosmic Selection as more Heros are released in the future.
