Marvel Rivals Player Shares Top Tip for Leveling Up

A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement prompts a reevaluation of team composition strategies. Many players adhere to the conventional two Vanguard, two Duelist, two Strategist team setup. However, this player contends that any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist is capable of victory.

With Season 1 of Marvel Rivals on the horizon, and the upcoming addition of the Fantastic Four, the competitive scene is heating up. The pursuit of higher ranks, including the coveted Gold rank for the Moon Knight skin, has led to frustration over unbalanced team compositions, particularly a shortage of Vanguards and Strategists.

Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the established team composition norms. They successfully utilized unconventional lineups, even experimenting with a team lacking Vanguards entirely (three Duelists and three Strategists). This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system, fostering diverse team compositions. While some players welcome this freedom, others voice concerns about matches dominated by Duelists.

The community is divided on the viability of unconventional teams. Some argue that a single Strategist leaves the team vulnerable, while others share anecdotes of success with less traditional team builds, emphasizing the importance of communication and awareness of teammate status through visual and audio cues. Strategists' damage alerts are highlighted as a key element in mitigating the risk of a single healer.

The competitive mode itself is a topic of ongoing discussion. Suggestions for improvement include hero bans to enhance balance and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses, perceived by some as detrimental to gameplay balance. Despite these concerns, the game's popularity persists, with players eagerly anticipating future developments.
