Rivals needs to stop having character-specific quests/missions for events.
In theory, having quests for new characters is great cuz it makes it so that players actually try the new character, even if they don't pick up that character in the long term at least they will know how to play them.
But in practice, this idea is terrible because... everyone has those quests which means everyone will instalock the new character to complete the quests, and many people wont get the chance to do them until way later. This issue became apparent for me when the Fantastic Four characters were added, however sometimes it did have and or option, like do x mission or do x mission. It's become way worse in season 2 because there are no or options and there's only 1 new character. I get it, Emma Frost is a new character, everyone wants to play her. But I personally don't see myself playing her a lot in the future, I just want to get my missions done, yet I can't seem to even get the chance to because everyone is playing Emma Frost right now.
I don't know, this might seem nitpicky but I haven't even completed the first part of the event missions because of this and the second part came out today and there is another Emma specific quest on that one.
