Doom Match is an Arcade Mode in Marvel Rivals that features a free-for-all deathmatch mechanic. A maximum of 12 players will spawn in the Empire of Eternal Night: Sanctum Sanctorium map with only one goal in mind, to have the most kills before the match ends. The first six players to reach 16 kills win the match. If time runs out before the victors are decided, the top 50% of players in the leaderboard after the match ends are considered the winners.

Unlike Conquest, there are no hero or villain restrictions in Doom Match. This means you can pick whichever hero you want. However, note that there are several restrictions placed on some heroes in this game mode. According to the in-game description, Doctor Strange’s Pentagram of Farallah and Invisible Woman’s Invisible Boundary abilities are disabled on this map. You need to consider if you want to use these heroes despite their restrictions. 

Unlike other maps, Doom Match and other Arcade Mode maps are not playable in Quick Match or Competitive.
