Marvel Rivals: Please Stop Using Competitive Matches For Missions And Achievements

Competitive matches are not the place to be farming currencies in Marvel Rivals. Players are there to be matched against similar skilled opponents and have an intense game. Plus, there is the prospect of gaining unique titles and skins upon reaching a high enough per season. You should bring your best gameplay to competitive mode, not just pick a set of heroes because a daily or weekly mission tells you to rack up damage or healing.

This is further perpetuated by limited time events like the Midnight Features investigations. Many players are pouring into competitive mode and taking on a Mr. Fantastic or Invisible Woman they don’t know how to play. Some Marvel Rivals players are just aiming to complete these missions regardless if it ruins the match for 11 other people. If you do this, you are essentially throwing the game and even giving the winners an inflated feeling of skill.

You’re Ruining Matches For Everyone Else And Wasting Time

You Have Over 30 Days To Complete Some Missions

The first season of Marvel Rivals is even more chaotic than season zero due to the de-rank system. Everyone was brought down seven levels, putting a lot of skilled players back into Bronze and Silver games. This means there can be complete stomps on either end, or full stalemate matches that go into double score - six points or more - potential.

Because of this difficulty, you are more likely to fail at completing missions that involve kills, final hits, and damage. If your competitive enemy is too good, they will just destroy your Strategists and Vanguards, leaving the Duelists to be easily picked off. Besides, the main reward of Chrono Tokens is abundant, and the free Battle Pass lasts for over two months - and indefinitely if you purchase the luxury version.

Quickplay And Bot Matches Are The Places To Finish Missions

Achievements And Currency Are Easier To Earn Against Bots

If your main goal is to complete a mission and collect currency, sprays, or skins, then stick to either quickplay or versus AI matches in Marvel Rivals. The former is much lower stakes, though it can get annoying if you are just goofing off during a serious fight. If you are on a losing streak, you will even be brought into mixed matches with four humans and eight bots.

But, the best option is to go right into AI matches, typically the lowest one-star. These bots are laughably easy, making mistakes and falling back like no human player would ever do in Marvel Rivals. You could have a full team of six Duelists and easily wipe out the enemy. You’ll quickly get any achievement or mission you are looking for, along with the associated rewards.
