"You've Been Lied To": Numbers Show Marvel Rivals Ranked Play Is Not What It Seems
The numbers for competitive play show that climbing the ranks higher than the metal tiers is not as simple as some make it seem. The title launched into the world back in December 2024, and several fans began taking part in ranked matches the moment they went live. Some players make it seem as though climbing high into Diamond or Grandmaster is as easy as can be, but realistically, the numbers show that is not the case.
A recent Reddit post from dudemanlikedude states, "The user then goes on to cite that the data shown does not include idle accounts or players who have never played ranked, and those who claim reaching the highest ranks in is relatively easy are not «average» players.
The post goes on to state that the claims about how easy it is to get to Diamond rank are completely fictional, as even «above average» players are getting trapped within Silver and Gold ranks. The original poster goes on to say, Players who indulge in all the content claiming that being «stuck» means they are bad have learned to dislike the game, rather thantaking the competitive play for what it is; a gamble.
Competitive play in Marvel Rivals is rough, especially after the rank reset, but some fans think being stuck in a rank is «your fault».
Some of the comments agree with the original post, while others believe that it is entirely possible to reach higher ranks with ease. Commenter Dogbold writes,With season one beginning a few short weeks ago, every ranked player dropped seven ranks, meaning those who made it to the higher tiers in competitive were brought back down to Silver, Gold, and Platinum Ranks. This created a lot of chaos, especially for newer players.
As someone who has entirely too many hours in competitive matches are entirely a gamble. There are times you will get put up against the sweatiest of players, and times you will be on the winning side. That is the point of the game mode; constantly trying to do better, play better, and enjoy the slow climb to the top.
