Marvel Rivals Competitive rank system explained
Players need to reach level 15 before gaining access to the Competitive playlist, where every player begins at Bronze III and must rank up through the skill tiers. You gain rank points by winning and performing well, and you lose rank points by losing matches or performing poorly.
Nine rank tiers
There are nine different tiers of ranks inMarvel Rivals, with several divisions in most ranks. Players begin at Bronze III and then move up through Bronze II to Bronze I, and then promote to Silver III to Silver II, and so on. Players must gain 100 rank points in each division before moving on to the next one.
Here’s every rank and division inMarvel Rivals:
Eternity and One Above All (top 500 players globally) do not have any divisions but are meant to represent the best players in the world in each season.
Exclusive rewards
Each season features exclusive rewards that can be unlocked, like each season’s themed skin for reaching Gold rank or higher, such as this Golden Moonlight skin for Moon Knight in season zero.
Crest of Honor cosmetics, which can be equipped on a player’s nameplate for those who achieve Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity, and One Above All.
Seasonal rank reset
At the end of each rank split (usually at the beginning and middle of each season), players will be demoted by nine divisions. For example, if a player ends one split at Diamond I, they will begin the next split at Silver I.
Picks and bans
Starting at Gold III, each team in a ranked match will be able topick one hero to protect and one hero to ban. Those banned heroes then will not be selectable for the entire game until the next match begins and a new pick/ban period takes place, while protected ones can’t be banned.
Chrono Shield
AChrono Shieldis a rechargeable resource that will negate any rank point loss when it’s fully charged. Charge up your Chrono Shield by playingMarvel RivalsCompetitive matches.
Rules, maps, and modes
Marvel RivalsCompetitive rules restrict players grouping up with anyone to no more than three divisions, starting from Gold to Celestial I, while players in Eternity of One Above All can team with Celestial II players within 200 points.
Convergence and Convoy maps will be played in more than one round so each team has a chance to play the map on both offense and defense, while Domination maps remain a best-of-three.
How to rank up in Marvel Rivals
Ranking up inMarvel Rivalsis simple: win matches. The more you win and the better you perform (kills, assists, healing), the more rank points you will earn. Each individual division in each rank tier (like Diamond I, for example) requires 100 points to rank up to the next division.
The more you win and the better you perform individually, the more rank points you will earn and the faster you will rank up. If you lose matches or perform poorly, you will lose rank points and potentially be demoted.
Your Chrono Shield will occasionally save you from losing points, but don’t plan on it. Always try your best to win every match by communicating and playing as a team, and the rank-ups will come.
