A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement sparks a debate on optimal team composition. The prevailing wisdom suggests 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 upcoming arrival adding to the excitement. Many players are currently focused on climbing the Competitive ladder, aiming for rewards like the Moon Knight skin. This competitive push has highlighted frustrations with imbalanced team compositions, particularly a lack of Vanguards and Strategists.
Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the conventional wisdom. They report success with unconventional team builds, including a surprising three Duelist, three Strategist composition, entirely omitting Vanguards. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system, prioritizing compositional flexibility. While some players welcome this freedom, others lament matches dominated by Duelists.
The community is divided on the viability of unconventional teams. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable. Others support experimentation, sharing their own success stories with unbalanced teams. They highlight the importance of communication and awareness of Strategist status through in-game cues.
The Competitive mode itself remains a topic of discussion, with suggestions for improvement. These include implementing hero bans across all ranks and removing Seasonal Bonuses to enhance balance. Despite ongoing debates, the player base remains enthusiastic about Marvel Rivals and its future developments.
