Marvel Season 3 Rankings: Detailed Explanation of Competitive Rewards and Rules
In the latest update of Marvel Rivals, Season 3 brings a host of changes to the ranked mode, including new rewards, map pool, and hero bans. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect.
Ranked Rewards
The ranked rewards for Season 3 include skins, nameplate frames, and Crests of Honour, each designed to reflect your competitive prowess.
Exclusive Skins
Players reaching Gold III or above can earn the Emerald Flames Phoenix skin, marking their entry into competitive rewards. The skins themed around Phoenix are awarded at Platinum III (Phoenix Feathers) and Diamond III (Phoenix Force), providing visual customization for competitive players.
Crests of Honour
At higher ranks — Grandmaster III, Celestial III, Eternity, and One Above All — players receive special Crests of Honour to signify their elite status from the previous season. The One Above All rank is exclusive to the top 500 players on the leaderboard at the end of the season, reflecting the pinnacle of competitive achievement.
Nameplate Frames
New nameplate frames have been introduced specifically for Platinum and Diamond tiers alongside the Phoenix skins. At Gold 3, players can ban other heroes from matches, adding a new layer of strategy to the game.
Ranked Map Pool
The ranked map pool for Season 3 includes a mix of convoy and convergence maps, each offering unique challenges and opportunities. Some of the notable additions are Hellfire Gala: Arakko (convoy), Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands (convoy), Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown (convoy), Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path (convoy), Intergalactic Republic of Wakanda: Hall of Djalia (convergence), Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface (convergence), Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park (convergence), Intergalactic Republic of Wakanda: Birnin T'Challa (domination), Hydra Charteris Base: Hell's Heaven (domination), Hellfire Gala: Krakoa (domination), and Klyntar: Celestial Husk (domination - NEW).
Ranked Mode Requirements
To unlock ranked mode, players need to reach Level 15. Gold players can earn and activate Chrono Shield Cards, which save them from a loss. If a player falls out of the points bracket for their current rank, they get another match or two before demotion. Each player has a Chrono Shield, which can prevent demotion after a loss.
Hero Bans and Rank Decay
Hero bans, previously restricted to Diamond 3 and above, were reduced to Diamond 2 and below in Season 2. Eternity and One Above All players can only play ranked matches solo or duo. Players in these tiers have to be careful of rank decay, which can lead to demotion if not addressed.
Points and Rank Progression
Points earned are based on current rank and performance in a match. Players start in Bronze III and aim to progress through the ranks. Each new season will reset the player's rank, dropping it by nine tiers. Most players are in Silver, Gold, and lower Platinum.
In Season 3, there are changes to the ranked rewards system, but specifics are not provided in the article. Stay tuned for further updates!
