Marvel Rivals players are always having fun in the chaotic 6v6 matches across vivid battlefields with their favorite heroes; however, they also quite frequently offer suggestions or present absurd demands in front of the devs to change certain features. From the infamous mid-season rank reset drama during Season 1.5 to nerfing overpowered heroes, NetEase is quick to respond to fan requests and keep the game alive with constant changes.
One such demand that fans have been quite vocal about is the usage of Lord Icons in the Hero Selection screen as well, which helps them select the hero they’re most proficient with. Lord Icons are a status symbol for many in Rivals, where players showboat their proficiency with a hero they have mastered in the game.
While NetEase hadn’t answered to the said demand in the past, with the latest Dev Vision Vol. 06, it has been announced that such a feature is finally arriving in Season 2.5 alongside much more exciting content.

Marvel Rivals devs have announced that starting from Season 2.5, which releases on May 30, 2025, players will be able to use their Lord Icons on the hero selection wheel so they can choose their most proficient hero before the round begins. Other than that, your teammates will also continue to see your Lord Icon on the pre-game lobby as well as in-game, just like your enemies will.
But that’s not all, while text chat, emotes, and sprays are some of the interactable elements that keep battles light-hearted and funny, Rivalsd is also bringing Mood Icons and Emojis for players to customize their nameplate based on their current mood.
You can also use these emojis during an ongoing match to taunt your enemies or even your teammates, adding an element of fun and communication rather than just typing absurd words in text chat. Furthermore, the new mid-season update will also bring new nerfs and buffs to the hero roster, so make sure to check those out ahead of Season 2.5.
