The 6v6 Overwatch style of team shooter features a wide array of heroes and the first alpha was a blast for players.
Now, they've gone ahead and added competitive for players, and we're going to run over all you need to know.
Marvel Rivals Competitive Explained: All Ranks, Rank Protection and More
Marvel Rivals is the next multiplayer game that will encompass the entire Marvel universe, and it will combine the elements of Overwatch and Paladins that players have grown to love over the years.
Now, competitive is here once again for players to dive into, and if you aren't already aware, the ranks are as follows.
- Bronze I, II, and III
- Silver I, II, and III
- Gold I, II, III, and IV
- Platinum I, II, III, and IV
- Diamond I, II, III, IV, and V
- Grandmaster I, II, III, IV, and V
- Eternity
- One Above All
Another feature relevant for players is called 'Cosmic Protection,' as this will prevent players from deranking unless they bottom out in a rank first. Similar to what we see in Valorant for example.
There is going to be a reward for players hitting Gold during the Closed Beta, so be sure to get some reps in.
