If you’ve been enjoying Marvel Rivals, you may have heard whispers about a peculiar issue known as the Supermaster V ranked bug. It sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? But what does it really mean for your gameplay?
The Supermaster V ranked bug is creating quite a stir among players in Marvel Rivals. While one might think this designation represents achievement and progress, it’s quite the opposite. This glitch has led to some frustrating experiences during ranked matches.
The ranked mode in Marvel Rivals is designed for those eager to prove their worth and climb higher in competitive play. With notable figures like Shroud considering launching a Rivals Esports organization and discussing esports plans with the game director, achieving rank is becoming even more significant.
Yet, this ambitious journey can be marred by the Supermaster V bug. Let’s look at what exactly causes this glitch and its effects on your online ranking.
What Causes Supermaster V Bug in Marvel Rivals?
The appearance of Supermaster V typically occurs when a ranked match is deemed invalid, often due to insufficient players participating, someone going AFK (away from keyboard), or quitting mid-game.
This can stem from various issues like connection problems or players losing interest during a match. If everything runs smoothly in your game session, you’re likely safe from encountering this annoying bug. However, any disruption could lead to an unwelcome surprise at match’s end.
It’s important to note that Supermaster V isn’t recognized as an official tier within the game’s ranking system.
As of now, NetEase hasn’t formally addressed the Supermaster V error. Players are piecing together information based on personal experiences shared across platforms. You can check out X user @whyAndr3w‘s video above, where they encountered this issue and posted about it here.
Does Supermaster V Bug Change Your Online Rank in Marvel Rivals?
The impact of the Supermaster V bug on your online rank remains unclear; however, indications suggest that penalties aren’t overly harsh if it does occur.
If you find yourself stuck in an invalid lobby affected by the bug, there’s a possibility of receiving an AFK ban. While not guaranteed across all cases, numerous players have voiced their frustrations regarding unexpected penalties after encountering this error.
Steam user EXtremist expressed frustration, stating “The game shows me a Supermaster [V] message after winning, then I get hit with a 15-minute penalty for being disconnected, which never occurred! This has happened three times.” Another player shared their experience: “During a ranked game where everyone had poor connection midway through; I reached 1000 ping at one point. At the end I received my ranked progress notification saying 20 out of 30 points but saw that my rank was listed as Supermaster V.”
However, not every instance appears consistent. A Reddit user named JDlyndon reported on his experience on Reddit, sharing that he “played and won a competitive match only to receive an abnormal ranking screen showing Supermaster V instead of regular points gain.” He emphasized that there was “no AFK behavior” during that match. It seemed just like any other typical encounter.
The situation remains fluid; we’ll keep our ears open for further updates about Supermaster V from NetEase as they address these concerns moving forward.
If you’ve experienced the strange phenomenon of seeing your rank turn into Supermaster V after playing a ranked match in Marvel Rivals, or if you’ve faced any AFK bans, I’d love to hear your stories! How did these incidents affect your gaming sessions?
