Is Marvel Rivals making ranked play more casual?
Image via NetEase Games. Just like any other multiplayer shooter, ranked play is one of the most important aspects of Marvel Rivals. However, it seems the game is not getting rid of the harsh criticism it's facing because of its ranked mode. After the arrival of the Chrono Shield system , many people thought that this would benefit the ranked mode. But when NetEase Games launched Chrono Shield Cards , the whole scenario changed, and now it seems the ranked mode in the game is becoming a bit more casual. Marvel Rivals: Has the ranked mode become more casual? The Chrono Shield Card is only usable for Gold ranked and below players. | Image via NetEase Games. The purpose of Chrono Shield was to save players from being deranked after multiple losses. However, it was usable once and after that it needed to be recharged. Now the surprising part is that this shield gets recharged on the basis of defeats of the players, and more surprising is that it needs more defeats from the higher ranked players to be fully recharged. On the other hand, the number of defeats to recharge this shield in lower rank is less than what players will need in higher ranks. It's already a major buff for the lower ranked players. Then came the Chrono Shield Cards as a part of the Galacta's Gift event. This card can instantly recharge the Chrono Shield, irrespective of the charge left in it. People initially thought that it was going to be a 'pay-to-win' item from NetEase, but thankfully it's not. The company later on revealed that players can't purchase this card as this can be redeemed through the event only. It would have disrupted the ranked play structure totally if it was a 'pay-to-win' item, but the shocking part is that it will still disrupt the ranked play despite not being purchasable. Here is the reason for that: Just like the Chrono Shield, the Chrono Shield Card is beneficial for the lower tiered players. This card can only be used by players ranked up to Gold tier. Now, again this is another major buff for the lower ranked players. This is actually making things a lot easier for the players in Gold rank or below, but what will happen when they come out of that phase? It is going to be unjust for the players who have worked hard to achieve those higher ranks. This is actually a casual approach towards a game mode which is supposed to be serious, practical, and result-emphasized.
