Marvel Rivals has been dominating ever since its release late last year, thanks to the fast-paced action it delivers. This is partially possible because of the rich roster of heroes it offers to its players, with a proficiency progression system that lets you know how good you are with one particular hero.
However, there is only a limit to how much you can play a single character. Reaching the max proficiency level with a particular hero grants you the ‘Lord’ status with them, signaling it might be time to move on to conquering another character on the roster.
Marvel Rivals: Why players are moving on after achieving the Lord status with heroes
Earning a Lord’s status is a significant milestone in Marvel Rivals. It showcases that you’ve mastered a character’s mechanics and can play it with the perfect team synergy along with your teammates. While for many players, achieving this means sticking with a hero forever, for others, it’s a cue to move forward and conquer another character.

Players enjoy the feeling of progression and novelty, and swapping heroes lets them experience the game from a fresh perspective. Users of the game’s subreddit have also come together on a thread to share the heroes they’ve abandoned after achieving the milestone.

There are so many heroes in Marvel Rivals to learn and master, and it takes a significant amount of investment to get around learning the unique ability set of each one of them. To get the max level of proficiency status with multiple heroes on top of the already complex heroes is a feat that not every common player is able to complete.

Some surprising names come out when you ask players for which heroes they left behind after securing the Lord badge. Mantis is the one name that kept coming up in the thread despite being a healer and a support agent by nature, followed by other heroes like Thor and Venom.

The Lord icon in Marvel Rivals isn’t an endpoint; it’s a milestone to flex. Ultimately, it helps you show off your expertise with one particular character. However, it seems that after learning one hero completely, instead of stopping, many choose to swap around instead and try new roles that let them enjoy the game as if they are playing for the first time again.
