If you’ve played games like Overwatch or League of Legends, Marvel Rivals’ ranked system will feel familiar. It’s all about earning points with every win and losing them when you take a loss. This dynamic system ensures players are constantly moving between ranks, making each match exciting. Here’s everything you need to know about climbing the ranks and reaping the rewards in Marvel Rivals.
How to Unlock Ranked Play in Marvel Rivals
Getting started with Ranked games is simple:
- Log into the game and head to the main menu.
- Select the Competitive tab to access Ranked matches.
- To unlock the Ranked mode, you need to reach Level 10.
Luckily, reaching Level 10 is quick—just play some Quick Matches to level up in no time.
Marvel Rivals Ranks Explained
Marvel Rivals features nine ranks in total, ranging from Bronze all the way to One Above All. Each of the first seven ranks is divided into three tiers (III, II, and I), requiring 100 points per tier to advance.
The Full List of Ranks
- Bronze (III, II, I)
- Silver (III, II, I)
- Gold (III, II, I)
- Platinum (III, II, I)
- Diamond (III, II, I)
- Grandmaster (III, II, I)
- Celestial (III, II, I)
- Eternity
- One Above All (reserved for the top 500 players).
Key Ranked Mechanics
- Inactivity Penalty: If you’re at Eternity or higher, your ranked points will slowly drain if you don’t play regularly. Stay active to keep your spot!
- Champion Bans: At Diamond III and above, teams can ban one champion each, making strategy even more crucial.
- Queuing with Friends: Players in adjacent ranks can queue together. For matchmaking purposes, Bronze and Silver are treated as the same rank.
The Chrono Shield: Your Safety Net
If you’re on a losing streak and at risk of being demoted, the game grants you a Chrono Shield. This prevents rank demotion for a limited time, giving you a chance to bounce back. But beware—it needs to recharge after use, so don’t rely on it too much!
Marvel Rivals Season 1 Ranked Rewards
Season 1 offers exclusive rewards based on your rank, with the Blood Shield Invisible Woman Costume as the standout prize. Here’s what you can earn:
- Blood Shield Invisible Woman Costume: Reach Gold III or higher.
- Silver Crest of Honor: Achieve Grandmaster III or higher.
- Gold Crest of Honor: Reserved for those who reach One Above All.
These rewards are based on your peak rank during the season, so even if you drop down later, you’ll still receive the best rewards you’ve earned!
