A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement sparks a debate on optimal team composition. The conventional wisdom favors a 2-2-2 setup (two Vanguards, two Duelists, two Strategists), but this player champions the viability of any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist.
This advice comes as Season 1 approaches, bringing anticipation for new characters (including the Fantastic Four) and maps. The current Season 0 is pushing players to climb the competitive ladder, with many aiming for Gold rank to secure the Moon Knight skin. This competitive drive has highlighted frustration over unbalanced teams lacking Vanguards or Strategists.
Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, advocates for flexible team compositions. They successfully utilized unconventional lineups, even experimenting with a three Duelist, three Strategist team, completely omitting Vanguards. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system, prioritizing compositional freedom. While some players welcome this flexibility, others lament matches dominated by Duelists.
Community reactions are divided. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, making the team vulnerable to focused attacks on the healer. Others support unconventional team building, sharing their successful experiences. The key, some suggest, is effective communication and awareness of visual and audio cues, especially Strategists signaling incoming damage.
The competitive mode itself remains a topic of discussion, with suggestions for improvement. These include implementing hero bans across all ranks to enhance balance and enjoyment, and removing Seasonal Bonuses, which some believe negatively impact balance. Despite ongoing debates, the player base remains enthusiastic about Marvel Rivals and eagerly awaits future updates.
