Marvel Rivals Player Has One Big Tip for Ranking Up

A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement prompts a reevaluation of team composition strategies. The conventional wisdom favors a 2-2-2 team 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 of Marvel Rivals approaches, with the Fantastic Four's imminent arrival adding excitement. The current Season 0 is seeing a push to reach higher ranks, particularly Gold for the Moon Knight skin. This competitive surge has highlighted frustration over unbalanced teams lacking Vanguards or Strategists.

Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the 2-2-2 dogma. They report success with unconventional lineups, even a 0-3-3 (three Duelists, three Strategists) composition, highlighting NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system. While some players welcome this compositional freedom, others lament matches dominated by Duelists.

Community reaction to this unconventional approach is divided. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable. Others support the idea, sharing their own experiences with non-standard team compositions. The effectiveness of a single Strategist, they argue, depends on awareness of audio and visual cues, as Strategists in Marvel Rivals announce when taking damage.

The competitive scene is actively debated, with suggestions for improvement ranging from hero bans across all ranks to the removal of Seasonal Bonuses, both aimed at enhancing balance. Despite acknowledged imperfections, the game's popularity persists, with players eagerly anticipating future updates.
