The excitement is building as we approach the full reunion of the Fantastic Four in one of this winter's most eagerly awaited games. Next Friday, Marvel Rivals will see the addition of The Thing and The Human Torch with the release of a major update, promising fans an enhanced gaming experience.
In just 10 days, a significant milestone in the ranked mode will be reached. Players who have engaged in ranked matches can look forward to receiving rewards, with those achieving Gold rank and above gaining access to exclusive skins. Furthermore, the most skilled players who reach Grandmaster rank or higher will be honored with a special Crest of Honor, adding to the prestige of their accomplishments.
However, there is a downside to this update. The ranks will undergo a partial reset, with each player dropping four divisions. This decision has stirred some controversy among the community, as many players are unhappy about losing progress mid-season. The grind of ranked mode can be daunting for casual players, and this reset might deter them from continuing to participate.
On a more positive note, the developers have expressed their willingness to listen to player feedback. Should the community's response to the rank reset be overwhelmingly negative, there is a possibility that the developers will reconsider and adjust their approach to ensure a more enjoyable experience for all players.
