No rank reset for Marvel Rivals season 1 says NetEase Games. They reversed their decision to implement a mid-season rank reset after it received backlash from the community. So, here’s what happened and why there is no rank reset for Marvel Rivals.

What Was The Original Reset Plans 

On February 10, 2025, NetEase Games excitedly shared their plans to reset the competitive ranks mid-way through Season 1. However, this met massive hatred from the players as they’ll face a drop of four divisions after their hard work. Some even called this decision to be “pointless” and “extremely unforgiving.”

To sum it up, the Marvel Rivals community was not happy at all with this announcement that came out. It is frustrating for players that grinded through the competition to reach their current ranks. In the original plan, it’ll demote Gold 1 player to Silver 2 and will have them start over again.

Complete Reversal: Players Keep Their Ranks

Fortunately, NetEase Games was quick to respond to these concerns shared by players. Less than 24 hours after the announcement, they released a Dev Talk blog about the reversal of the decision. They announced to walk back the rank reset plans and retain the ranks and scores from the first half of the season. 

The developer expressed acknowledgment of the pressure brought to players of rank reset every half-season. Seeing how this mechanic made participation in a competitive mode less enjoyable, they retracted their decision. So, the second half will serve as a continuation of their first-half scores and ranks. This sealed the no rank reset for Marvel Rivals Season 1. 

New Reward Structure and Requirements

Since Marvel Rivals no rank reset took place, NetEase introduced an enhancement to the current Season 1 reward structure.  They expect this to make most players excited to engage in competitive mode often. Here are their additional offerings for Marvel Rivals Season 1:

  • Players at Gold rank will receive the promised costume reward
  • Grandmaster and above ranks will earn Crests of Honor
  • Top 500 players (One Above All rank) will receive a special Crest of Honor
  • The second half of the season will introduce new rewards, including a fresh Gold rank costume
  • Distinct Crest of Honor designs for Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity, and One Above All ranks

Players only need to complete 10 matches in competitive mode to be eligible for these rewards. However, take note that these are only available for the second half of the current Season 1. Plus, there are also relevant rank conditions by the season’s end so they’ll have to actively compete.

What Does the Community Says

As Marvel Rivals implemented the no rank reset, the community sent overwhelmingly positive responses to this decision. Many celebrated this reversal as they got to keep their progress until the second half of the season. Plus, the developer actively listened to players’ feedback as seen in their speedy response. 

Definitely, this left a positive impact for NetEase Games on their player base. Moreover, players are actually hoping that even in future development, they remain committed to open dialogue with the community. For now, Marvel Rivals players can focus on grinding their way to the top of the competitive ladder. 

Conclusion

It’s definitely final that there will be no rank reset for Marvel Rivals Season 1. This surely left many players from the community happy as they got to keep their current ranks and points. Plus, more rewards are also coming their way once the season’s second half ends.
