The excitement is building as the Fantastic Four are set to fully reunite in one of this winter's most anticipated games. Marvel Rivals fans won't have to wait much longer, as The Thing and The Human Torch are slated to join the fray next Friday with the game's next major update.
In just 10 days, a significant milestone in the ranked mode will be reached. Players who have been actively competing in ranked matches can look forward to receiving rewards. Those who have achieved Gold rank or higher will unlock exclusive skins, adding a touch of prestige to their in-game appearance. Meanwhile, the most skilled players, those reaching Grandmaster rank or above, will be awarded the prestigious Crest of Honor, a testament to their dedication and prowess.
However, there's a downside to this update. The ranks will undergo a partial reset, causing each player to drop four divisions. This decision has stirred some controversy within the community, as many players are unhappy about losing progress mid-season. Grinding through the ranks can be a daunting task, and this reset may discourage casual players from continuing to engage with the ranked mode.
On a positive note, the developers have expressed their willingness to consider adjustments based on player feedback. If the community's response to the rank reset is overwhelmingly negative, there's a possibility that the developers might reconsider their approach, offering hope for a more favorable solution in the future.
