Marvel Rivals Grandmaster Achieves Success with Unconventional Team Builds
A Marvel Rivals player's recent ascent to Grandmaster I rank challenges the conventional wisdom on team composition. Many players adhere to the 2-2-2 formula (two Vanguards, two Duelists, two Strategists), but this player asserts 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. Players are vying for high ranks, particularly Gold rank to unlock the Moon Knight skin. This competitive drive has highlighted frustrations with unbalanced teams lacking Vanguards or Strategists.
Redditor Few_Event_1719, the Grandmaster I player, advocates for a more flexible approach. They’ve even found success with unconventional team setups, such as three Duelists and three Strategists—completely foregoing the Vanguard role. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system, prioritizing diverse team compositions. While some players appreciate this freedom, others lament matches dominated by Duelists.
Community Reactions to Unconventional Teams
Player feedback on this unconventional strategy is divided. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable when the healer is targeted. However, others support the idea of flexible compositions, sharing their own experiences with success. They emphasize the importance of communication and awareness of visual and audio cues, noting that Strategists often signal when they're taking damage.
Ongoing Debate in the Competitive Scene
The competitive mode continues to spark lively discussions within the Marvel Rivals community. Suggestions for improvement range from implementing hero bans across all ranks to removing seasonal bonuses, both aimed at enhancing balance. Despite acknowledged imperfections, players remain enthusiastic about the game and eagerly anticipate future updates.
