A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement prompts a reevaluation of team composition strategies. The prevailing belief favors a 2-2-2 team setup (two Vanguards, two Duelists, two Strategists). However, this player contends that any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist is capable of victory.
The recent ascent to Grandmaster I in Marvel Rivals' competitive mode has led this player to challenge conventional wisdom regarding team building. While the 2-2-2 composition is widely accepted, the player reports success with unconventional setups, including a team lacking Vanguards altogether (three Duelists and three Strategists). This unconventional approach aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid implementing a role queue system in Marvel Rivals, prioritizing flexible team compositions.
This sparked a community debate. Some players argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable due to focused attacks on the healer. Others support the idea of diverse team compositions, sharing their own experiences with success outside the standard 2-2-2 format. The viability of unconventional teams hinges on effective communication and awareness of visual and audio cues, particularly Strategists alerting teammates to incoming damage.
The competitive scene in Marvel Rivals remains a lively topic, with ongoing discussions about potential improvements. Suggestions include implementing hero bans across all ranks to enhance balance and enjoyment, and removing seasonal bonuses to address perceived imbalances. Despite acknowledged imperfections, the game's popularity persists, with players eagerly anticipating future updates and content, including the upcoming addition of the Fantastic Four.
