Evgenii "Gufis" Kondratev Statistics about the rank distribution in Marvel Rivals on PC have appeared on social media, and it's both interesting and concerning. What should we pay attention to? The most important thing is the distribution of players in Bronze. Bronze 3 rank is given to everyone who reaches level 10 in Marvel Rivals, and after that, you need to grind in ranked matches.

In competitive games, moving from Bronze 3 to Bronze 2 is relatively easy — developers tend to make the rank distribution resemble a Gaussian curve (bell curve), where most players are in the middle (e.g., Gold level). Bronze is located at the edges, so based on this model, you will be "pulled" toward the center — each win gives you more points than a loss.
But in the case of Marvel Rivals, there are four times more players in Bronze 3 than in Bronze 2, and the rank distribution is not Gaussian at all. This suggests that people are simply not interested in the ranking system. The reasons can vary, but this could be a worrying signal for NetEase.
