A Marvel Rivals player's Grandmaster I achievement prompts a reevaluation of team composition strategies. The prevailing belief favors a 2-2-2 team setup (two Vanguards, two Duelists, two Strategists), but this player contends that any team with at least one Vanguard and one Strategist is viable for victory.

This advice comes as Season 1 approaches, generating excitement around new characters (including the Fantastic Four) and maps. The current Season 0 is seeing a surge in Competitive mode players, some aiming for high ranks, others targeting the Gold rank Moon Knight skin. Frustration over teammate role selection is common.

Redditor Few_Event_1719, having reached Grandmaster I, challenges the 2-2-2 dogma. They've successfully employed unconventional compositions, even a 0-3-3 (three Duelists, three Strategists) setup, highlighting the game's design philosophy against role queue implementation. While some players embrace this compositional freedom, others lament matches overloaded with Duelists.

Community reaction to this unconventional approach is divided. Some argue that a single Strategist is insufficient, leaving the team vulnerable. Others support the idea, sharing their successes with diverse team setups, emphasizing the importance of communication and awareness of visual and audio cues from Strategists signaling damage.

The Competitive mode itself remains a focal point of community discussion. Suggestions for improvement include hero bans across all ranks to enhance balance and gameplay, and the removal of Seasonal Bonuses to address perceived balance issues. Despite acknowledged imperfections, the game's popularity persists, with players eagerly anticipating future updates.
