Marvel Rivals Slang and Terms
Bussing
Losing on purpose so that players on the opposing team gain rank. It usually happens when someone is boosting a friend or a paying customer. NetEase treats it as match manipulation and it carries account penalties, which is worth knowing before you accept an invite to a suspiciously one-sided lobby.
Diving
Committing a mobile hero past the enemy frontline to reach their Strategists. The whole skill is in the timing: a dive that lands while enemy cooldowns are spent wins the fight, and the same dive thirty seconds earlier just feeds.
Peeling
Turning back to protect your own Strategist from a dive rather than pushing forward. The most common reason a team loses a fight it should have won is that nobody peeled.
Feeding
Dying repeatedly without trading value, handing the enemy ultimate charge. Because ultimate energy is generated by damage dealt and taken, feeding does not just cost you a respawn — it actively charges the enemy team.
Ult economy
Tracking who on each team has an ultimate ready. Fights are usually decided by which side has more ultimates available, so spending yours to answer nothing is a bigger mistake than losing a duel.
