A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement sparks a team composition debate. The prevailing wisdom suggests a balanced team of two Vanguards, two Duelists, and two Strategists. However, this player champions the viability of any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist, even showcasing success with unconventional lineups like three Duelists and three Strategists—a composition entirely lacking Vanguards.
This unconventional approach aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system in Marvel Rivals. While some players welcome this compositional freedom, others express concern about matches dominated by Duelists.
The upcoming Season 1 of Marvel Rivals adds fuel to the fire, with the Fantastic Four's imminent arrival generating excitement. As players race to achieve Gold rank for the Moon Knight skin before Season 0 ends, the debate over optimal team composition intensifies.
Reactions to the unconventional strategy are mixed. Some argue that a single Strategist leaves the team vulnerable, while others share anecdotes of successful non-standard team compositions. The key, some suggest, lies in effective communication and awareness of teammate status through visual and audio cues.
The Marvel Rivals community remains actively engaged, proposing further improvements to Competitive mode. Suggestions include hero bans to enhance balance and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses to address perceived imbalances. Despite ongoing discussions about game balance, the enthusiasm for Marvel Rivals and anticipation for Season 1 remain high.
