A Marvel Rivals player recently climbed to Grandmaster I and has a tip regarding team composition for gamers looking to rank up as well. Season 1 of Marvel Rivals is just around the corner, and players can expect to see more details about upcoming characters and maps very soon. A recent promotional image showed off The Fantastic Four, with NetEase Games announcing that the iconic Marvel family will be coming to the game in the near future.
As Season 0 comes to a close, some fans are scrambling to rank up in the game's Competitive mode. While many players just want to see how high they can climb, others are trying to get to Gold rank to claim the free Moon Knight skin in Marvel Rivals. As more and more players dive into Competitive, many have been frustrated by teammates who refuse to play Vanguards or Strategists.
January 6 is Going to Be a Big Day for Marvel Rivals Fans
Monday, January 6 is going to be a particularly exciting day for fans of the hero shooter Marvel Rivals.
Redditor Few_Event_1719 recently climbed to Grandmaster I in Marvel Rivals' Competitive mode and believes players looking to do the same need to reconsider how they look at team composition. Many gamers believe teams should consist of two Vanguards, two Duelists, and two Strategists. However, the redditor claims that any composition with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist is viable for winning matches. They even said they've had success with three Duelists and three Strategists, which is an unusual composition that completely cuts out the Vanguard role. This seems to be part of NetEase Games' design philosophy, as the director of the hero shooter recently said there are no plans to implement a role queue feature in Marvel Rivals. While some fans were happy to hear they would continue to be free to explore various team compositions, others expressed frustration about playing matches filled with Duelists.
Grandmaster Player Wants Marvel Rivals Fans to Consider Unusual Team Compositions
Fellow fans were split when recounting their experiences. Some claimed that only having one Strategist wasn't viable, as the opposition would target the healer and leave the team with no support. Others were quick to rally behind the idea of unusual compositions, sharing their own stories of success. A few people said that, as long as players are paying attention to audio and visual cues, having one healer wouldn't be a problem because Marvel Rivals' Strategists call out when they take damage.
Competitive play has been a hot topic within the community recently, as players have been making suggestions about how the mode could be improved. Some players want to see hero bans in all ranks of Marvel Rivals, claiming the feature helps balance teams and adds to the fun of matches. Another portion of the community would like NetEase Games to remove Seasonal Bonuses, as some feel the feature hurts the game's balance. While many players say they know the game isn't perfect, they're continuing to have a great time and look forward to seeing what's on the horizon for the popular hero shooter.
