How to rank up fast in Marvel Rivals
Are you still stuck in low elo after the Marvel Rivals rank reset? Then let us tell you how to rank up fast in the hero shooter taking the world by storm.
In theory, ranking up in Marvel Rivals is quite easy, so learning how to do it shouldn't be difficult. Unless you play really badly, you will always gain more elo for a win than for a loss, so even at a 50% win rate, you will eventually climb.
That said, there are still things that can be done to climb faster. So here's our tips and tricks for ranking up faster in Marvel Rivals.
Stick to one role
We know sometimes you might have to fill, so skip past this one for the odd game, but let us make one thing clear: you should never fit out to fill.
To climb ranks in Marvel Rivals, you need to be good at a role, or even just one character within a role. You need to understand that role, such as the difference between an off-tank and a main tank, and become versatile enough that you can adapt within your role when the game requires you to do so.
If you constantly switch between roles and characters, you can never hope to actually be good enough to get to higher ranks in Marvel Rivals. Eventually, you will come up against a player playing the same character as you and they will be better than you at the character.
Alternatively, they might play a different hero that directly counters yours, which brings us onto our next point.
Learn counters
Unless you're already Diamond in Marvel Rivals, you won't yet have bans to ensure that counters to your character are not in your game. Therefore, it is important to know the counters for when you get to that point and so that when you do face your counter, you can efficiently adapt.
For instance, Wolverine exists in Marvel rivals to the bane of tank players' existence. Wolverine is a counter for all tanks, but especially Groot. Therefore, if you play Groot and come up against a Wolverine, you should consider swapping immediately. A tank with extra mobility, such as Thor, or personal shields, such as Magneto, would be a better fit.
Knowing counters in Marvel Rivals is extremely important, it can be the difference between having a good game or a bad one, and you can help your entire team by understanding how to play around counters.
Become versatile
Once you know counters and have become effective within a role, the next step for learning how to rank up in Marvel Rivals is versatility.
Let's say you are a dps player playing as Moon Knight, but the enemy team has Psylocke and Black Panther. This means that those two players will be frequently diving your backline, massively reducing your damage as well as the effectiveness of your healers.
The best counter against those two heroes is Namor. Namor's squids and right-click ability act as protection against dive characters, and alongside Winter Soldier, Namor is the best character for handling dive. Therefore, if you are a dps player, it would be beneficial to your attempts to climb if you learn to be versatile in your role.
Queue with other players
As is the case with any game, queuing with other players can help you rank up fast in Marvel Rivals.
Unlike other games, you have to opt in to communication in Marvel Rivals, which means it can often be lacking. This can cause a huge problem in games where you are facing team comps that counter your own, so having someone to communicate with can be a huge benefit.
That doesn't mean you will rank up easily in Marvel Rivals simply by queuing with anybody, you'll need to actually find some players around your rank who want to climb. But that can be done.
Be positive
No one has ever climbed in Marvel Rivals by being toxic. Just like any other game, it's simply not possible.
Instead, you should attempt to be constructive, offer solutions, and most of all, bring the hype when a play or a round goes well.
Not only will this stop you from being reported, you are also more likely to get up votes by playing this way, and given how the Marvel Rivals matchmaking system works, that could be of huge benefit.
