"Marvel Rivals Ranked Mode: Players' Trust and Stats Decline"

Recent statistics on the rank distribution in Marvel Rivals on PC, shared across social media, offer fascinating yet potentially troubling insights. A crucial aspect to focus on is the concentration of players in the Bronze rank, particularly Bronze 3. In Marvel Rivals, reaching level 10 automatically places players in Bronze 3, after which they must engage in ranked matches to progress.

In typical competitive games, advancing from Bronze 3 to Bronze 2 is relatively straightforward. Developers often design rank distributions to follow a Gaussian curve, or bell curve, where the majority of players cluster around the middle ranks, such as Gold. This design inherently "pulls" players towards the center, where wins grant more points than losses, facilitating upward movement.
However, the data for Marvel Rivals deviates significantly from this model. There are four times more players in Bronze 3 than in Bronze 2, indicating a non-Gaussian distribution. This anomaly suggests a lack of engagement with the ranking system. Players might not be motivated to grind through ranked matches, which could stem from various reasons. This situation should raise concerns for NetEase, as it may signal underlying issues with player satisfaction and the game's competitive structure.
