NetEase Games has announced significant changes to Marvel Rivals' ranking system, implementing rank resets that will occur both mid-season and at season start. Players will drop four divisions at mid-season and six divisions at season start, occurring approximately every 45 days.

The community response has been overwhelmingly negative, with players citing several key concerns:

• Too frequent resets (every 6-7 weeks)
• Impractical for players with full-time jobs
• Disruption of competitive balance
• Unnecessary for a hero shooter format
• Inconsistent matchmaking quality

Even professional players and streamers, like Eskay, have expressed concern about keeping up with the frequent resets, noting that games in high ranks like Celestial are experiencing mixed skill levels between former Top 500 and Grandmaster players.

NetEase's explanation for the change has been minimal, stating only that "players' ranks during the first half of season are the best indicator of their competitive skills within the season." The changes coincide with the addition of new heroes Human Torch and The Thing, though the connection between these updates remains unclear.

While these changes may be part of the game's early development adjustments, the community's strong reaction could potentially lead to modifications in the ranking system's implementation.
