One Marvel Rivals player shared their opinion on solo ranked matches with a video showing a highlight reel that is extremely frustrating. Players who are trying to climb the ranks are struggling, as players who are less skilled than veterans seem to be holding them back. While this is nothing new to the world of team-based shooters, Marvel Rivals seems to be a bit difficult to master for some, which has led to some less-than-helpful highlights.

Ranked in Marvel Rivals is a true test of skill and perseverance. However, the reality is that some players dominate the competition with jaw-dropping moves—and others make it to highlight reels for all the wrong reasons. A recent Reddit thread authored by PrimeTimePyro showcases moments that will either leave viewers laughing or cringing, as the highlight -- well -- highlights a player basically doing nothing.

While the thread may come off as an attack towards others who may not be considered "veteran" players, the comments give insight into how highlights like this can happen.

Redditor under9OOO says, "Haha one time I ed a game late and literally only got to walk out of spawn before the game ended the highlight was just me randomly walking into the spawn door I somehow got most upvotes." indicating that things like this could theoretically happen by accident.

Another comment from -Negative-Karma states, "I played Spidey for like 3 mins before I realized that I am NOT that girl. And immediately went back to slinging nuts at people instead of webs. Lmao." Whether it’s a misstep that costs the game or testing out a new hero amid the hectic battles, these moments resonate with anyone who’s braved the intensity of competitive play.

Our Take: Ranked Matches in Marvel Rivals Is Not as Easy as Some Think

Role Queue Is A Highly Requested Feature For Marvel Rivals

Without a cohesive team composition, players sticking to their roles, and solid communication, achieving success in Ranked can feel nearly impossible. One of the most common frustrations among players is the lack of a role queue. In casual matches, flexibility is key, but the competitive mode demands structure.

Although the developers are not considering the implementation of a role queue at this time, it could improve team balance and help players focus on mastering specific heroes and roles. If you’re looking to climb the ranked ladder, focus on finding a solid group to queue with, mastering your favorite roles, and embracing the unpredictable nature of competitive play. And who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll find yourself on a Marvel Rivals highlight reel—for all the right reasons.
