Marvel Rivals has quickly gained traction in the competitive gaming scene, drawing players in with its engaging gameplay and intricate ranking system. Developed by NetEase Games, the competitive ranks in Marvel Rivals mirror those found in many popular online games, categorizing players based on their skill levels and performance.
Understanding the Competitive Ranks
The ranking system in Marvel Rivals is designed to provide players with a clear understanding of their current standing and skill level. It consists of several tiers, each representing different levels of proficiency. Here’s a breakdown of the competitive ranks:
- Bronze: Tier 3-1
- Silver: Tier 3-1
- Gold: Tier 3-1
- Platinum: Tier 3-1
- Diamond: Tier 3-1
- Grandmaster: Tier 3-1
- Celestial: Tier 3-1
- Eternity: Points-based ranking
- One Above All: Points-based ranking (Top 500 players)
Starting from the Bronze rank, players progress by accumulating wins. Each player needs to earn 100 points to move up to the next tier within their rank. Notably, once players reach Diamond III and above, they gain the ability to ban one hero from matches, adding a strategic layer to the competition.
Top Ranks Explained
The highest ranks, Eternity and One Above All, operate on a points system rather than tiers. Players in these ranks earn points through victories, but inactivity can lead to point deductions, causing a drop in their standings.
Competitive Rank Rewards
Marvel Rivals offers exciting rewards for players who achieve specific ranks. In Season 1, players reaching Gold, Platinum, or Diamond ranks will receive the Blood Shield skin for Invisible Woman. Those achieving Grandmaster rank will earn both the skin and the Silver Crest of Honor. For the elite players who reach the One Above All rank, the reward includes the same skin but with a Gold Crest of Honor.
Unlocking Competitive Mode
To access the Ranked or Competitive mode in Marvel Rivals, players must first reach level 10. The most effective way to achieve this level is by participating in Quickplay matches, which also help players become familiar with the game’s mechanics.
Playing with friends can significantly enhance coordination and increase chances of winning. Players below Gold rank can team up freely, while those in Gold Tier 1 to Celestial tiers can form teams within a three-division range. Finally, players in the Eternity and One Above All ranks can team with Celestial Tier 2 players as long as they are within 200 points of each other.
Stay Engaged and Compete
As Marvel Rivals continues to grow, players are encouraged to dive into the competitive ranks, unlock new rewards, and improve their skills in this dynamic gaming environment.
