To address the increasing concerns from players who feel the ranking in Marvel Rivals is unfair, the official X account released an informative video. In it, Zhiyong, the Lead Combat Designer, elaborates for 18 minutes on the intricacies behind the ranking system and matchmaking.

The core explanation is that Marvel Rivals operates similar to many competitive games. Given the game’s unique six-player dynamics and diverse hero roster, achieving perfectly balanced matches poses a significant challenge. While players may find themselves on teams with less skilled players, the system is designed to account for this in evaluating match outcomes. For example, a player maintaining stellar performance, even in a loss, will not face heavy penalties.

Despite the detailed explanation, it appears that some players remain dissatisfied. The challenges of maintaining a balanced competitive environment continue, adding a layer of complexity that many in the community are keen to resolve.
