I will be honest: I haven't played Marvel Rivals, but my Overwatch friends seem to enjoy it – no wonder, it's a very similar game, after all. If you remember the days of open-queue-only in OW, you'll recall how torturous it could be for DPS players to find a match because everyone wants to click heads.
Well, Marvel Rivals is experiencing the same, but its creative director Guangyun ‘Guangguang’ Chen says there are no plans for a role queue at the moment.
"Right now, we’re not considering a role queue," Chen told Dot Esports. "The team’s goal is to offer a wider variety of team composition through team-up skills and their own designs, to let people play their Marvel superheroes rather than limiting players to choosing a role."

Yes, but we all know how it went in Overwatch. I'll refresh your memory: after much struggle, Blizzard added role queue as an option, and now it's considered the main mode. So I'm pretty sure NetEase Games will change its mind when the game grows.
"From the data we’re seeing in our back end, things are going pretty solid," Chen continued. "We want people to have a Marvel experience where they’re free to select what they want. [Since the closed beta test] things have been rational and within expectations. In our Competitive play recently, there is a lot of different compositions emerging from players and we’d like to continue to monitor these fun compositions and how they impact our game."
I assume there are other ways to make the experience pleasant for everyone, not only the role queue. Hopefully, the developers will find a solution soon, faster than Blizzard did it.
