Marvel Rivals fans have been enjoying the shooter for some time now, but some want to rush into ranked play. Fans of online shooters love getting top ranks and seeing their names high in online scoreboards, not to mention the exclusive rewards. Luckily, it’s a simple process to start ranked.

While hardcore shooter fans love playing in ranked, others are more hesitant since a loss can be demoralizing. Losing a game and seeing your tier decrease can be heartbreaking, especially for newer players who started playing for the Marvel fanservice. The risk is worth it for some, as seeing your rank go up is satisfying.

How to unlock Ranked Play in Marvel Rivals

To unlock Marvel Rivals ranked, players simply have to reach Level 10. It’s a relatively easy process, as they simply have to keep playing the game to level up. Players will also get to spend more time with heroes and see who their favorites are.

Gamers shouldn’t worry about losses, as they will still level up after losing a game. While they won’t get as much XP, they are still getting some and that’s what matters most. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose; ranked play is just around the corner.

Is playing ranked worth it?

Some players aren’t too excited about playing Marvel Rivals ranked, since it can bring out the worst in others. Players who don’t care about seeing their tier increase might care about some of the exclusive rewards you can get. The fact that this is a live service game means you can also expect different prizes per season.

At the moment, players who reach Gold tier can unlock an exclusive skin for Moon Knight. Considering how powerful the character is in Rivals, we’re sure that players will want this unique costume for the hero. There are also some crests to unlock for higher tiers, but that’s for bragging rights. You can read all the important details about this mode here.
