Marvel Rivals Player Has One Big Tip for Ranking Up

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

This advice comes as Season 1 approaches, bringing anticipation for new characters (including the Fantastic Four) and maps. The current Season 0 is seeing a surge in competitive play, with many aiming for Gold rank to secure the Moon Knight skin. This has highlighted frustration over unbalanced team compositions, particularly a shortage of Vanguards and Strategists.

Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the conventional wisdom. They advocate for flexibility, even showcasing success with unconventional lineups like three Duelists and three Strategists, entirely omitting Vanguards. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system, prioritizing compositional freedom. While some welcome this, others express concern about matches dominated by Duelists.

Community reaction to this unconventional approach is mixed. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable. Others support the idea of diverse compositions, sharing their own successful experiences. The ability of Strategists to signal incoming damage through audio/visual cues is cited as a mitigating factor for teams lacking multiple healers.

The competitive scene is rife with ongoing discussions on improvements. Suggestions include hero bans for better balance and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses, which some believe negatively impact fairness. Despite these concerns, the overall sentiment remains positive, with players eagerly anticipating the future of this hero shooter.
