A Marvel Rivals Grandmaster I player challenges conventional team composition wisdom. Many players believe the optimal team consists of two Vanguards, two Duelists, and two Strategists. This player, however, contends that any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist is capable of victory.
The player's Grandmaster I achievement fuels their argument, suggesting that rigid adherence to the 2-2-2 composition is unnecessary. They even cite success with unconventional lineups, such as three Duelists and three Strategists, completely omitting the Vanguard role. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid implementing a role queue system in Marvel Rivals, prioritizing flexible team building.
This perspective has sparked debate within the community. Some players argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable when the support character is targeted. Others support the idea of unconventional compositions, sharing their own experiences with success. The debate highlights the importance of communication and awareness of teammate status, particularly when Strategists (healers) signal they are taking damage.
The ongoing discussion about team composition reflects broader concerns within the Marvel Rivals community regarding competitive play. Suggestions for improvement include implementing hero bans across all ranks and removing seasonal bonuses, both aimed at enhancing balance and player experience. Despite these ongoing discussions, the game's popularity and anticipation for Season 1 remain strong. The upcoming arrival of the Fantastic Four further adds to the excitement surrounding the hero shooter.
