A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement sparks a debate on optimal team composition. The prevailing belief favors a balanced 2-2-2 setup (two Vanguards, two Duelists, two Strategists), but this player argues that any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist is competitive.

This advice comes as Season 1 approaches, with the Fantastic Four's imminent arrival generating excitement. The current Season 0 is seeing a rush to higher ranks, particularly Gold, to secure the Moon Knight skin. This competitive push has highlighted frustrations with imbalanced team compositions, often lacking Vanguards or Strategists.

Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the conventional wisdom. They contend that variations, even unconventional ones like three Duelists and three Strategists (omitting Vanguards entirely), can be successful. This aligns with NetEase Games' stated intention to avoid a role queue system, prioritizing compositional flexibility. While some players welcome this freedom, others lament matches dominated by Duelists.

Community reactions are divided. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, making the team vulnerable to focused attacks on the healer. Conversely, others support unconventional team builds, sharing anecdotes of their effectiveness. They emphasize the importance of communication and awareness of visual/audio cues, suggesting that a single Strategist can be sufficient if teammates are attentive to their calls for help.

The Competitive mode itself remains a subject of ongoing discussion. Proposed improvements include hero bans across all ranks to enhance balance and enjoyment, and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses to address perceived imbalances. Despite these concerns, the game's popularity persists, and players eagerly anticipate Season 1's content.
