Marvel Rivals: Players Demand Ranked System Fix as Grandmaster Tier Becomes Overcrowded
Marvel Rivals is experiencing significant rank inflation issues, with data from Season 1.5 revealing an unusual distribution of players across competitive tiers. The Marvel Rivals Tracker, analyzing nearly 500,000 PC players, shows more players in Grandmaster Three (26,244) than in lower tiers like Platinum One (18,394) and Gold One (18,195).

Player Suggestions:
- Implement a complete ranked reset
- Add placement matches for accurate skill assessment
- Revise the point gain/loss system
Current System Analysis:
- Players gain 30-40 points per win
- Only lose 15-20 points per loss
- Reaching Diamond possible within hours with win streaks
- System favors grinding over skill-based progression
While rank inflation might boost player engagement, the community strongly advocates for a ranked system overhaul to better reflect true skill levels and maintain competitive integrity.
