The anticipation is building as we're just days away from the full reunion of the Fantastic Four in one of this winter's most eagerly awaited games. Next Friday, the excitement peaks with the next major update for *Marvel Rivals*, introducing The Thing and The Human Torch to the roster. This addition promises to enhance the gameplay experience significantly, bringing more depth and variety to team compositions.
In 10 days, a significant milestone in the ranked mode will be reached. Players who have been actively participating in ranked matches can look forward to receiving rewards. Those who have achieved Gold rank or above will unlock exclusive skins, adding a touch of prestige to their in-game appearance. Meanwhile, the most skilled players reaching Grandmaster rank or higher will be honored with a special Crest of Honor, a testament to their dedication and prowess.
However, there's a downside to this update that has stirred some controversy among the community. The ranks will undergo a partial reset, with each player losing four divisions. This decision has not been well-received, as many players feel disheartened by the prospect of losing progress mid-season. For those who find the grind of ranked mode challenging, this reset could further discourage participation, impacting the overall engagement with the game.
On a more positive note, the developers have expressed their openness to making adjustments based on player feedback. If the community's response to the rank reset is overwhelmingly negative, there's a possibility that the developers might reconsider and revise this approach. This willingness to listen and adapt could be crucial in maintaining a positive relationship with the player base and ensuring the continued success of *Marvel Rivals*.
