Founder & Editor, Rivals Randomizer
Sukie Gao is a hero-shooter player and the founder of Rivals Randomizer. She keeps the roster, tier data and guides in sync with each Marvel Rivals season.
About Sukie
Sukie Gao started Rivals Randomizer out of a simple frustration: the randomizers she kept finding online were fun for a week and then quietly fell out of date, handing players heroes who had been reworked or missing the ones who had just released. As a hero-shooter player who follows Marvel Rivals season by season, she wanted a tool she could actually trust — one where the pool always matches the live game — so she built it. Today she runs the project's roster, keeps the tier and comp data current, and edits everything that publishes.
What Sukie works on here
Sukie writes and edits all of the guides on Rivals Randomizer, from the hero and role reference pages to the tier list, the best team comps breakdowns, and the explainers on how the game's random pick works. Every page you read on the site passes through her before it goes live: she checks that heroes are filed under the right roles, that recommendations reflect the current season rather than an old one, and that the writing stays clear instead of padded. She also keeps the randomizer's underlying roster in sync on hero release days, which is the part players rely on most.
Experience with the game
Sukie has played Marvel Rivals across every role since the game's launch, and that hands-on time is what shapes the site. She has climbed through the ranked ladder on tanks and supports, run "random hero only" weeks that pushed her onto characters she would never have picked, and watched the meta swing with each balance patch. That perspective is deliberately baked into the tools: the role-balanced team generator reflects how a real 2-2-2 composition actually plays, the difficulty ratings lean on what is genuinely hard to pilot rather than what looks flashy, and the guides are written for the situations players actually hit in a match, not abstract theory.
Editorial standards she holds
Two rules sit above everything else in Sukie's editing. First, never fabricate: if a stat, tier or fact cannot be verified against the live game or reputable coverage, it does not go on the page — she would rather omit a number than invent one. Second, keep the roster honest: the pool the randomizer draws from is checked by hand against the current season so the tool never quietly falls behind. She also insists on disclosing how content is made, which is why the editorial process page spells out exactly where AI assists and where a human takes over. It is a small site, but the standard is the same one a much larger publication would hold.
How she works
Sukie's approach is to treat the live game as the source of truth, corroborate anything contested against reputable coverage, and be transparent about tooling — articles are researched with AI assistance and then edited by her before publication, with the roster verified by hand. You can read the full method on the editorial process page. If you spot a roster mistake, she genuinely wants to hear about it — reach her through the contact page or by email at sukielovesupport@gmail.com.
