Marvel Rivals Player Has One Big Tip for Ranking Up

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

Season 1 of Marvel Rivals is imminent, with details on new characters and maps expected soon. The Fantastic Four's upcoming arrival, recently revealed, adds to the excitement.

With Season 0 ending, many players are focused on Competitive mode ranking. The allure of the free Moon Knight skin at Gold rank fuels this drive, leading to frustration over teammates who avoid Vanguard or Strategist roles.

Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the conventional wisdom. They argue that a balanced team isn't strictly necessary, showcasing success with unconventional lineups, even one lacking Vanguards entirely (three Duelists and three Strategists). This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system, prioritizing compositional flexibility. While some players welcome this freedom, others lament matches dominated by Duelists.

The community is divided on this. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable. Others share success stories with unconventional team compositions, highlighting the importance of communication and awareness of visual and audio cues to compensate for a lack of dedicated support. Strategists' damage alerts are cited as a key factor.

Competitive mode improvements are a frequent topic of discussion. Suggestions range from hero bans across all ranks to the removal of Seasonal Bonuses, both aimed at improving balance. Despite ongoing debates, the game's popularity remains strong, with players eagerly anticipating future developments.
