Marvel Rivals to ban players for using third-party plugin, Blitz

For the uninitiated, the third-party plugin Blitz gave an unfair edge to the players who were using it. While it did not directly affect the gameplay, it shared confidential stats related to damage and healing of opponents by injecting itself into the game processes. By doing so, it helped players selectively ban heroes and predict when the opponent is going to use the ultimate ability.

Looking at how this third-party plugin gave some players an unfair advantage in the lobbies, NetEase Games has issued a statement saying,

"We deem this program as cheating software and will no longer allow its use during gameplay."

However, there is a saving grace for players who were using it. The developers have decided not to ban players who were using the third-party plugin in the past. But from the day of making this announcement, players found to be using Blitz in Marvel Rivals will be banned.

In the spirit of fair gameplay, NetEase Games has also urged all players to refrain from using any type of third-party plugin, may they enhance performance or visuals. This statement from the developers can be a hint to players who are modding the game using third-party plugins.

While modding is not completely banned in the game, the usage of third-party plugin Blitz is. It is advised that players refrain from using it to keep their accounts from getting banned or suspended.
