Marvel Rivals Daredevil Actor Dares Players to Be Their Worst Selves
From ranked queues to pro scrims, one lesson keeps getting louder: stop instalocking DPS. Team synergy is the new meta, and hero hogs are getting benched.
Superheroes are supposed to inspire us to be better. Daredevil? He just showed up to tell you to instalock DPS and never look back. That tracks.
What kicked this off
Daredevil drops into Marvel Rivals on October 10, 2025, alongside the start of season 4.5. Ahead of that, voice actor Aleks Le posted a video on October 7 doing his Daredevil voice and basically giving players permission to be that teammate who refuses to swap off damage, even when they are getting stomped.
'The devil doesn't switch off, even when he's going negative.'
Translation if you don't live in team shooters: he's nudging people with a bad K/D to stick on DPS anyway. That's the kind of behavior that gets entire communities begging for role queues. And yes, NetEase has been pretty firm about not adding role queues to Marvel Rivals, but this is exactly the stuff that makes players lobby for them.
The vibe, and why people are talking about it
Is it heroic to tell struggling players to keep hogging DPS? Not really. Is it funny to imagine someone blasting that line over voice chat while their whole team flames them? A little. It's a video game; everyone will survive.
There's also the running gag that NetEase keeps shipping unusually, uh, well-sculpted heroes. Daredevil keeps the streak alive, and Aleks Le joked it's so the attorney can 'distract the supports.' Subtle, this is not.

If you needed the Man Without Fear to validate your questionable role choices, you just got it. Whether your team appreciates that is another story.
