Despite *Marvel Rivals*' impressive gameplay, the unfortunate reality is that some players exploit the system. NetEase Games provides a reporting mechanism to combat this, and a recent addition to the reportable offenses, "Bussing," has caused some confusion. Let's clarify what Bussing is and how to identify it.
When reporting players in Marvel Rivals, options like "Throwing" and "Griefing" are familiar. The newly added "Bussing" isn't about in-game chatter; it refers to players intentionally teaming with cheaters to artificially inflate their stats and rankings. Marvel Rivals confirmed this explanation following player inquiries, clarifying that reporting this involves identifying players who participate in such boosting schemes.
Identifying cheaters in Marvel Rivals often involves observing suspicious gameplay. Unnaturally accurate shots or unnatural movement patterns are telltale signs. However, not all players on a team with cheaters are necessarily guilty.
To effectively report Bussing, careful observation is key. Stay in the match to analyze the enemy team's behavior. Some players might be unwitting participants, while others actively cheat. Avoid rash reporting; instead, gather evidence by observing their actions and perhaps even engaging in in-game chat to gather information.
