Unfortunately, the influx of players reportedly caused server issues, especially for the Frankfurt servers. Players have been vocal online, voicing their complaints about the event. Reddit user ZtrikeR21 said that the event was “one of the worst ideas I have ever seen” and asked, “Who approved of this idea? This was obviously going to happen.” Serious-Run-6165 responded, “I’m usually an optimist about these events, but I honestly don’t even know what their idea was. They are promoting stream sniping.” Since its launch,Marvel Rivalshas been a fun free-to-play title, but the Valentine’s Day event has clearly not sat well with a lot of players.
