The "bounty hunting" drama has officially hit the devs' desks! In Episode 49 of Rival Banter, Luke and Seth break down the official statement from NetEase regarding the "Vigilante Justice" throwing scandal and why some community-proposed solutions might actually make things worse.

We start the episode with our personal week in Rivals and a round of Blind Ranking Marvel Rivals Controversies. From balancing blunders to community drama, we’re ranking the biggest "yikes" moments in the game's history.

In the News:

New Skins: Reactions to the legendary Fear Itself Thing skin and the highly anticipated Daredevil: Born Again suit.

Vigilante Justice Follow-Up: NetEase has issued a zero-tolerance policy for "incentivized throwing," threatening permanent bans for anyone sabotaging matches for third-party bounties.

Topic: Mid-Season Mailbag

MCU Favorites: What are our favorite MCU films/TV shows, and which costumes do we want to see next? (Shoutout to that S1 Netflix Daredevil look!).

Returning Game Modes: We discuss which game modes we want to see come back with changes.
