A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement prompts a reevaluation of team composition strategies. The prevailing belief favors a balanced team of two Vanguards, two Duelists, and 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 of Marvel Rivals approaches, with the Fantastic Four's imminent arrival generating excitement. Many players are actively vying for higher ranks, motivated by rewards like the Moon Knight skin. This competitive push has highlighted frustration over unbalanced team compositions, particularly a shortage of Vanguards and Strategists.
Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the conventional wisdom. They assert that compositions deviating from the standard 2-2-2 model, even those lacking Vanguards entirely, can be effective. Their success with a three Duelist, three Strategist lineup underscores this point. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid implementing a role queue system, prioritizing compositional flexibility. While some players welcome this freedom, others express concern about matches dominated by Duelists.
Community reaction to this unconventional approach is divided. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable. Others support the idea of experimental compositions, sharing their own positive experiences. The importance of effective communication and awareness of visual and audio cues is highlighted, particularly for teams with limited healing support.
The competitive scene continues to be a focal point for discussion, with suggestions for improvements. These include the introduction of hero bans across all ranks and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses to improve balance. Despite acknowledged imperfections, the game's popularity and anticipation for future content remain high.
