Check out how we test and review games here Marvel Rivals Season 2 brought tons of new content, including the stunning Hellfire Gala: Krakoa map, new hero Emma Frost, and a revised Battle Pass filled with heroic cosmetics. The season’s competitive makeover, which included a rank reset and dynamic nameplates, has kept the 6v6 hero shooter alive. However, a notable trend has evolved in the community: players rushing to Doom Match mode to farm Hero Proficiency points, particularly the coveted Lord rank, which unlocks exclusive cosmetics such as hero-specific avatars and sprays. Doom Match, a chaotic free-for-all deathmatch launched in Season 1, became a go-to for grinding competence because of its fast speed and lack of team reliance, allowing players to quickly rack up kills and accomplish hero-specific challenges. This farming frenzy, particularly for characters like Emma Frost, caused debate with some contention that it reduced the prestige of the Lord rank, which is intended to reflect talent and dedication in competitive settings. In response, NetEase Games has released a key patch that went live today, imposing a daily cap on proficiency points gained in Doom Match and Conquest. Marvel Rivals cracks down on Lord Proficiency farming in Doom Match with latest patch NetEase Games has rolled out a new patch for Marvel Rivals Season 2, introducing the new Giant Size Brain Blast event and addressing the rampant farming of Hero Proficiency points in Doom Match mode. The new patch introduces a daily repeat limit on proficiency missions in Doom Match and Conquest, while Quick Match and Competitive missions remain uncapped. Proficiency Missions have received major changes. Image by VideoGamer. The new structure looks as follows: Conquest/Doom match missions: Resets every 24 hours at 9:00 Server Time Quick Match/Ranked: No changes This change, detailed in the Version 20250425 Patch Notes, aims to refocus proficiency gains on team-based, skill-driven gameplay, ensuring Lord ranks reflect true mastery. The overhaul also includes minor tweaks, like Luna Snow’s revamped Cyber Tunes emote, but the proficiency cap steals the spotlight. Player reactions regarding the change have been overwhelmingly positive as they leave Doom Match lobbies free from farmers. Comments from users highlight excitement over the change, with many celebrating the end of “exploitative” farming. Some players noted, “You’ll have to earn it like it was intended in real matches,” reflecting a sentiment that the patch restores competitive integrity.
