While these icons primarily showcase a player’s proficiency level, they aren’t necessarily a reflection of skill, but rather of the time and dedication spent mastering heroes, as most of these icons require playing a hero for approximately 20 hours. According to Danny Koo, executive producer at Marvel Games, Lord icons will soon take on an additional purpose. Koo recently revealed a few more things coming to the game, including Legendary skins for everyone. Lord icons will be added to the Marvel Rivals hero selection wheel At the beginning of every match, players need to select their heroes. This is done through a selection wheel, which is the first thing everyone sees after the loading screen. For now, the selection wheel has default icons for every hero. However, NetEase will add Lord icons to it, Danny Koo revealed on X (formerly Twitter). The executive confirmed that the feature is on NetEase’s to-do list, though its release date remains uncertain. It may be introduced with the release of Season 2.5, which is expected to come in late May. While not a groundbreaking addition, this feature will provide players with added motivation to enhance the proficiency rank of their favorite heroes. Default icons can be upgraded after completing hero-specific quests.

Due to this, it will be interesting to see if NetEase will add another proficiency level to Marvel Rivals in the future. For now, we have a lot of new content to enjoy with the release of Season 2. Besides the new map and Emma Frost, the season also brings seven free skins that are available to everyone.
