Blocking may cycle! "Marvel Confrontation" anti-small system accidentally hurts innocent players

After NetEase's Marvel Contest season 3 was launched, its newly introduced anti-small detection system unexpectedly caused some normal players to be mistakenly blocked. Reddit user poorF2Pnoob posted a complaint that as a return player of AFK after the first season, the system was judged as "high-level play" because of the decay, and was eventually banned from the competitive mode throughout the season. Even more ironic, the ban notification shows that its initial rank will be reset next season - which may lead to a ban loop.

The current season reset rules of the game will force the player rank to lower the player rank. When old players return, the mismatch between their technical rating and the actual rank is very easy to trigger the anti-trumpet algorithm. The experience of poorF2Pnoob is not an isolated case. Many players have reported that they have encountered similar misjudgments, and the customer service system is currently unable to effectively solve such problems. It is interesting that the original intention of this mechanism is to crack down on cheating behavior of high-level players who deliberately open new accounts to slaughter new players. This "fish-fried" behavior will seriously damage the game ecology.

　　The X-Men member "Phoenix Girl" Qin Grey, released in the third season, appeared as the new duel (Duelist). In conjunction with the hero skins such as Thor and Rocky launched in the summer special event, it should have become an opportunity for players to revel. However, this misbank storm exposed NetEase's extensive design in competitive system - when the algorithm simply equates the rank decay with the behavior of a small trumpet, those players who temporarily leave the battlefield due to busy life became victims.

Data shows that the Steam version of "Marvel Contest" recently exceeded 120,000 online peak at the same time, but the competitive model participation rate decreased by 7% month-on-month. Some analysts pointed out that an overly radical anti-cheating mechanism may backfire. As a Twitter user joked: "The safest ranking strategy now is to never go offline."
