Marvel Rivals Player's Ultimate Tip for Ascending the Ranks

A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement prompts a reevaluation of team composition strategies. The prevailing belief favors a 2-2-2 team setup (two Vanguards, two Duelists, two Strategists), but this player contends that any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist is competitive.

Marvel Rivals Season 1 is on the horizon, with details on new characters (including the Fantastic Four) and maps soon to be revealed. The current Season 0 is winding down, pushing players to climb the competitive ladder for rewards like the Moon Knight skin. This climb has highlighted frustration over unbalanced teams lacking Vanguards or Strategists.

Redditor Few_Event_1719, a newly minted Grandmaster I player, challenges the conventional wisdom. They advocate for flexibility, claiming success even with unconventional team builds like three Duelists and three Strategists—completely forgoing Vanguards. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid implementing a role queue system, prioritizing compositional freedom. While some players welcome this flexibility, others lament matches dominated by Duelists.

Grandmaster's Unusual Team Composition Advice Sparks Debate

Community reaction is divided. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable when the healer is targeted. Others support unconventional compositions, sharing their own success stories. They emphasize the importance of communication and awareness, noting that Strategists in Marvel Rivals often signal when they're taking damage.

The competitive scene is buzzing with suggestions for improvement. Proposed changes include hero bans across all ranks to enhance balance and enjoyment, and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses, deemed detrimental to balance. Despite acknowledged imperfections, the game's popularity persists, and players eagerly anticipate future updates.
