Recent statistics about the rank distribution in Marvel Rivals on PC have sparked both interest and concern across social media platforms. The focal point of this discussion is the disproportionate number of players in Bronze 3. In Marvel Rivals, reaching level 10 automatically grants players a Bronze 3 rank, after which they must engage in ranked matches to progress further.

In typical competitive gaming environments, advancing from Bronze 3 to Bronze 2 is generally straightforward. Developers often design rank distributions to follow a Gaussian curve, or bell curve, where the majority of players are clustered around the middle ranks, such as Gold. This design aims to 'pull' players towards the center, with wins granting more points than losses.
However, the rank distribution in Marvel Rivals deviates significantly from this norm. Data shows there are four times as many players in Bronze 3 compared to Bronze 2, indicating a far from Gaussian distribution. This anomaly suggests a lack of engagement with the ranking system among players. The reasons for this could be multifaceted, but it's a concerning indicator for NetEase, the game's developer. It may signal that players are either not motivated to progress through the ranks or are facing barriers that prevent them from doing so, which could impact the game's long-term success and player retention.
