Marvel Rivals isn't the greatest when it comes to its skin distribution. Sure, the skins are all pretty good (barring the whole lack of custom VFX thing) but it's still frustrating to see Luna Snow and Spider-Man get 12 different skins every season while poor Mantis and Hulk get left out to dry all the time. You barely get a crumb if you play as one of the game's more unpopular heroes, and the players that probably know this all too well are the Peni Parker mains.

Not only does Peni Parker have only two skins that aren't recolors, she's one of the few heroes in the game not to get a Legendary skin too. However, Peni players thought that their wait was finally coming to an end after a Wasteland Mech skin was shown off in this season's roadmap a couple of weeks ago. Literally every skin in the roadmap has been a Legendary so far, so it makes sense that Peni's will be too, right?

Marvel Rivals Fans Are Upset With Peni Parker's Wasteland Mech Skin

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it. A new video was posted to Marvel Rivals socials earlier today, showcasing gameplay of Peni Parker in her Wasteland Mech skin, and all the sound effects that you usually get with Legendary skins are absent. It was also confirmed by Marvel Rivals content creator Miller Ross that the skin will be Epic, meaning the wait for a Legendary carries on.

Understandably, Peni Parker players are a bit miffed about this, and the game's skewed skin distribution in general. A user called Visual-vomit says that the distribution is "just comical" and that Spider-Man had better not get another Legendary before Peni, while a number of other users are just frustrated that Peni was the only character in the roadmap not to get her own Legendary skin.

And, as expected, the Peni Parker Mains subreddit isn't taking the news well either, with one user called KynoSSJR angry that they "waited the whole season for this s**t", and another calling the whole situation "downright absurd" and hoping there's something big for Peni coming soon.

At the time of writing, Season 4 is yet to be shared by NetEase, so there is still hope that Peni Parker might get a battle pass skin next season. It's pretty unlikely though, and I'm pretty sure Peni Parker players might go into meltdown if Spider-Man or Luna Snow or on the battle pass for Season 4. It's okay Peni fans, I'm suffering right there with you.
