Cos'è l'inflazione di rank in Marvel Rivals?

Rank inflation can make matchmaking less balanced by placing players in ranks that don’t accurately reflect their skill level. This means higher-ranked matches may have players who aren’t truly at that tier, leading to unpredictable games where some players struggle to keep up while others dominate too easily. Over time, this can reduce the competitive integrity of ranked play and make climbing feel less meaningful.

Marvel Rivals’ ranked system makes it easier for players to climb by giving more points for wins than it takes away for losses. Features like Chrono Shields, which prevent rank drops in lower tiers, and the lack of frequent rank resets also contribute to the issue. As a result, many players reach high ranks without consistently winning, inflating the overall rank distribution.

NetEase can take several steps to address rank inflation, such as reintroducing mid-season rank resets, increasing point penalties for losses, and implementing a placement match system to better distribute players at the start of each season. Removing Chrono Shields or adjusting the way rank points are earned could also help ensure that only truly skilled players reach the highest tiers.
