Marvel Rivals developer NetEase Games has reversed its decision to implement a mid-season rank reset just hours after announcing the change. The new announcement states that players will retain their ranks and scores from the end of the first half of Season 1. This move comes in response to significant community backlash, with many players expressing frustration over the prospect of losing progress due to frequent rank resets.
The original plan had ranked players at Diamond 1 back down by four divisions by February 21, with an additional six divisions reset at the start of a new season. However, NetEase Games acknowledged the “pressure” associated with this schedule and decided to make a change. Players now only need to complete 10 matches in Competitive mode to earn rewards.
This decision demonstrates the importance of community feedback for game developers. By listening to player concerns and making changes accordingly, NetEase Games can ensure that Marvel Rivals remains an enjoyable experience for all players. The company’s commitment to this mission is evident in their willingness to make significant changes just hours after announcing them.
