A new feature in Marvel Snap is already drawing scrutiny before it's even released worldwide, with many even calling it a "pay-to-win" feature.

Marvel Snap’s upcoming Leagues feature, something akin to clans or tournaments, will reward players who grind and earn cubes by ranking up a leaderboard with the top spots earning things like map variants. But it’s already out in some regions of the world, and screenshots show some discouraging signs.
A May 8 Twitter/X post from someone with access to Leagues revealed that the game is selling something called Event Perks for Gold, a currency that can be purchased with real money or earned in-game. For 200 Gold, players can purchase 30 minutes of double points, while 150 Gold can grant a 30-minute buffer during which you don't lose any points.
The response to the post was unanimously negative. Almost everyone took issue with the fact that you can buy perks, which would effectively make the mode pay-to-win unless there are strict restrictions.
