Marvel Rivals ranks and competitive mode explained
Here's how the competitive ranking system match rules work in Marvel Rivals
The Marvel Rivals ranks in competitive mode are how players show off their skill and prowess in-game, similar to the way Overwatch's system worked, for those who are familiar. There's actually rewards involved for getting the highest rank - or rather, reward singular, which I'll lay out in more detail below. Regardless, for those who want to understand Ranks in Marvel Rivals and how to increase your competitive Rank quickly, I'll explain it all below.
All Marvel Rivals competitive ranks
At level 10 you unlock the Marvel Rivals competitive ranked mode, which features intense, multiple-round matches where victorious players can gain rank points to ascend through the divisions. There are eight different ranks, but all aside from the top two have three sub-divisions, so there are 20 levels to climb if you want to reach the top. Every 100 points you earn bags you a rank promotion, with wins earning you rank points but losses losing you points, which could lead to a rank demotion if you're on a losing streak.
However, dropping down a rank can be prevented by using a Chrono Shield, but you get a limited number of these to protect yourself from demotions. At the higher ranks, there are a few other special rules to be aware of too, including rank decay and hero bans, which I've explained below.
Here are all 20 Marvel Rivals ranks in Competitive mode:
- Bronze I, II, III
- Silver I, II, III
- Gold I, II, III
- Platinum I, II, III
- Diamond I, II, III: If all players in a match are Diamond III or higher, each team gets to ban one Marvel Rivals character from hero selection before the match starts.
- Grandmaster I, II, III
- Eternity: Not competing for a while at this rank causes you to gradually lose rank points and risk demotion
- One Above All: Not competing for a while at this rank causes you to gradually lose rank points and risk demotion
If you're doing any Marvel Rival Team ups with friends be aware that players in adjacent ranks can team up and match together. Additionally, Bronze and Silver are considered a single rank. That means Bronze-ranked players can team up and match with other Bronze players, as well as Silver and Gold. However, Platinum players, for example, can only match and team up with Gold, Platinum, and Diamond players, and One Above All players can only match with Eternity and other One Above All-ranked players. If you want to get your friends playing remember to use a Marvel Rivals Assemble code to get rewards from them.
