A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement prompts a reassessment of team composition strategies. The prevailing belief favors a 2-2-2 team setup (two Vanguards, two Duelists, two Strategists), but this player champions the viability of any composition including at least one Vanguard and one Strategist.

With Season 1 of Marvel Rivals on the horizon, and the upcoming addition of the Fantastic Four, the competitive scene is heating up. Many players are striving for higher ranks, motivated by rewards like the Moon Knight skin. This has led to frustration over unbalanced teams lacking Vanguards or Strategists.

Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, argues against the rigid 2-2-2 meta. They contend that a single Vanguard and Strategist are sufficient for victory, even showcasing success with unconventional team setups like three Duelists and three Strategists, entirely omitting Vanguards. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid implementing a role queue system, prioritizing compositional flexibility.

This unconventional approach sparked debate. Some players questioned the viability of only one Strategist, citing vulnerability to focused attacks. Others supported the idea of diverse team compositions, sharing their own experiences with success. The effectiveness of a single Strategist, they argue, hinges on effective communication and awareness of visual and audio cues, as Strategists in Marvel Rivals signal when taking damage.

The Marvel Rivals community continues to actively discuss competitive gameplay improvements. Proposed changes include hero bans across all ranks and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses, both aimed at enhancing balance and enjoyment. Despite acknowledged imperfections, the game's popularity persists, and players eagerly anticipate future developments.
