A Marvel Rivals Grandmaster I player challenges conventional team composition wisdom. While the common belief favors a 2-2-2 setup (two Vanguards, two Duelists, two Strategists), this player asserts that any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist is capable of victory.
The player's Grandmaster I achievement fuels their argument, highlighting successful matches even with unconventional lineups like three Duelists and three Strategists—a composition entirely lacking Vanguards. This unconventional approach aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid implementing a role queue system in Marvel Rivals, prioritizing player freedom in team building.
This perspective has sparked debate within the community. Some players argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable to focused attacks on the support character. Others, however, support the idea of experimental compositions, sharing their own success stories. The viability of unconventional teams often hinges on players' awareness and responsiveness to in-game audio and visual cues, especially Strategist damage alerts.
The ongoing discussion around team composition reflects the broader conversation surrounding Marvel Rivals' competitive mode. Proposed improvements include hero bans to enhance balance and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses to address perceived imbalances. Despite these ongoing discussions, the game's popularity remains strong, with players eagerly anticipating Season 1 and the arrival of the Fantastic Four.
