Bogur Reacts to Marvel Rivals’ Matchmaking and Penalty Overhaul – “These Are Good F***ing Changes” ⇒ MarvelRivalsHub

Marvel Rivals just dropped some huge matchmaking, surrender, and penalty system changes as part of the latest patch — and Bogur Reacts had a lot to say about it. From stricter stacking rules to disconnect compensation and bans for leaving quick play, Bogur dove deep into what’s changing and why it matters.

Love him or hate him, Bogur says what most players are thinking — and this time, he’s not holding back. Here’s a full breakdown of his thoughts on the update and what it means for the Marvel Rivals ranked grind.

New Matchmaking Rules – Stacks Are Getting Sliced

Marvel Rivals is cracking down on team stacking in ranked, and Bogur was quick to call out how this might affect the casual and competitive scene.

Stacking Rules by Rank:

Bronze, Silver, Gold: Any team size except 5-stack
Platinum, Diamond, Grandmaster: Only 3-player stacks allowed
Celestial, Eternity, One Above All: Only 2-player stacks

Bogur disagrees with the Plat-Diamond-GM limitation, saying it kills casual play with friends and doesn’t really solve much:

“Your four stack is disbanding. Civil wars are starting. This just pushes people away from playing.”

However, he likes the Celestial+ restriction, calling it a good step toward making top ranks more competitive and less exploitable by premades.

Surrender Changes – Fast Forfeits Are Now an Option

New surrender rules allow players to vote to surrender in the first round if a teammate disconnects and doesn’t return within 90 seconds.

Bogur was a bit confused at first, but ultimately got behind the idea:

“I like that you can surrender if someone disconnects early. It’s a waste of time and you just want to get to the next game.”

And if you’re worried about it being abused, don’t — the vote requires nearly full team agreement.

Disconnect Penalties & Compensation – Finally, Fairness

This part of the patch got Bogur’s full approval. Here’s the deal:

TL;DR:

Disconnects under 70 seconds: Match ends, player penalized, no result
Disconnects after 70s, return in <90s: No penalty
Return after 90s: Tier 1 penalty + matchmaking ban
Gone for 150+ seconds: Tier 2 penalty + ban
Teammates get compensation if they lose

“They punish crashes the right way. And if your teammate leaves, you won’t get screwed anymore.”

Bogur also praises the compensation scaling:

Bronze–Gold: +12 points
Plat–GM: +8 points
Celestial–OAA: +4 points

“Good that they compensate more in low elo. That’s where people leave the most. High elo is more stable.”

Quick Match Penalties – “Stop Crying”

Yep, leaving quick play will now get you banned too — and Bogur is all in.

Quick Match Penalty Scaling:

1 leave = warning
2 leaves = 15-minute ban
3 = 30 mins
4 = 1 hour
5+ = 8 hours

“You get 5 warnings in a week before you get cooked. If your ass is leaving 5+ games a week, you shouldn’t be playing quick play. Full stop.”

Bogur goes off on people complaining about not being able to throw or leave quickplay casually:

“You ruin games for 11 other people. You don’t want penalties? Go play Oblivion.”

He does note that bans should only apply to quick match, and not affect ranked, which appears to be the case in the current system.

AFK Detection – Still Needs Work

If a player goes AFK after 70 seconds, they get penalized — but their teammates don’t get compensation, which Bogur doesn’t love:

“You only get compensation if someone leaves. But if they’re just AFK, you’re stuck.”

Still, he says it’s a start — and having any penalty system at all is better than none.

Final Thoughts – “Good F***ing Changes”

In typical Bogur fashion, he ended with a full-throttle rant for the people still complaining:

“Stop bitching. These are good f*ing changes**. The game is miserable half the time in lower elo. Emergencies don’t happen three times a week, bro. You’re not in a hospital playing Marvel Rivals mid-shift.”

His verdict?
✅ Stricter matchmaking rules – Mixed but fair
✅ Disconnect penalties – Good
✅ Compensation system – Needed
✅ Quickplay bans – Hilariously based
✅ AFK system – Could improve

Whether you’re grinding ladder or just trying to vibe in quick play, Marvel Rivals’ latest system overhaul is raising the bar for accountability — and Bogur’s not sugarcoating it: if you’re not here to play, maybe log out.
