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.
The recent ascent to Grandmaster I in Marvel Rivals' Competitive mode has led this player to share their unconventional approach to team building. While the meta generally emphasizes a 2-2-2 composition, they've found success with variations, even experimenting with a team lacking Vanguards entirely (three Duelists and three Strategists). This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid implementing a role queue system, prioritizing flexible team compositions. The upcoming Season 1, featuring the Fantastic Four, adds further anticipation.
This unconventional strategy has sparked debate among players. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable to focused attacks on the support character. Others support the idea of diverse team compositions, sharing their own experiences with non-standard setups. The effectiveness of these strategies often hinges on players' awareness of in-game audio and visual cues, allowing them to effectively support a single Strategist.
The Competitive mode itself remains a topic of discussion within the community. Suggestions for improvement include hero bans to enhance balance and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses to address perceived imbalances. Despite these ongoing discussions, the player base continues to enjoy the game and anticipates future developments for this popular hero shooter.
