A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement prompts a reassessment of team composition strategies. The prevailing belief favors a 2-2-2 team structure (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.
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, fueled by the desire for high ranks or the Moon Knight skin reward. Frustration often arises from unbalanced teams lacking Vanguards or Strategists.
Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the conventional wisdom. They highlight the viability of unconventional team compositions, even citing success with a three Duelist, three Strategist setup—completely omitting Vanguards. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system, allowing for diverse team builds. While some players embrace this freedom, others express concern about matches dominated by Duelists.
Community Reaction to Unconventional Teams
Player feedback is divided. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable when the healer is targeted. Others support unconventional compositions, sharing their own positive experiences. The ability of Strategists to call out damage, coupled with attentive players, is cited as a mitigating factor for having fewer healers.
Competitive mode improvements remain a topic of discussion. Suggestions include hero bans for better balance and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses, which some believe negatively impact fairness. Despite these concerns, the community's overall enthusiasm for Marvel Rivals and its future remains strong.
