Just when you thought Marvel Rivals' competitive balancing couldn't get any worse, a new system to throw games turns up. Incentivised throwing is the name, and ruining people's win streaks is its game.

Third party websites popped up with the sole purpose of placing bounties on players' heads. The intention being that if people find themself in a team with someone who has a bounty, they can throw the game and claim 80% of the reward (20% goes to the website, very convenient). People who throw games for any reason are already losers with paper-thin mental, but this sinks to new depths of deadbeats.
