The ULTIMATE Positioning Guide for Marvel Rivals (stop throwing) | Tanks, DPS, Support

The "You pick your engagements" can't be emphasized enough. That is the most important thing for flanking DPS players because often times they will run in the backline and attempt to force a kill. Don't ever do this, all you do is get yourself taken out of the team fight before it even happens. You need to be patient, wait until your team attacks in mass, and during the chaos is when you should be striking. When your team is regrouping you can use hit and run abilities to charge ult but you should never be diving the backline because you wont win. **Deaths** are the stats to look at, not eliminations, not damage, not heals, your deaths are the most important because it indicates how long you were in the fight for. If you're 10-3 you were in every teamfight and survived the majority of them meaning you added value to them as you could do your job in almost every teamfight whether that be as a healer or a DPS. The 20-9 Magik is not better than the 10-3 Magik. He's got double the eliminations but tripple the deaths, that's no good. Of course this is dependent on the game, but typically I try to strive for the same amount of deaths as the supports which tend to be the lowest on the team.

Exactly what I've been waiting for. This my first hero shooter

Subjective and objective are not synonyms for static and dynamic, just because positioning varies from good to bad depending on the situation, doesn’t mean it’s subjective! 😂

[LeeRev]

Also just a slight phrasing that I would suggest instead of Subjective vs Objective. I would say positioning is objectively bad or good, but the bad or good is dynamic so you have to make judgement calls based on knowledge of the game state. Technically theoretically pausing a game at any given moment there is an objectively best position it is just dynamically changing as the fight progresses. Also been loving your videos as someone who played OW1 way back when and is seriously wanting to get better at hero shooters I have loved the insight you have given thank you so much I feel I have gotten much better even just over the past two weeks playing the game and watching your videos for insight.

God. thank you. never watched a single guide about positioning, but i geniunely are tired of people walking into a choke as a hela, and trying to get kills when we come back from spawn, and they instantly get picked, and then we are 5v6 because our tank choose to go in.

engagement timing, and positioning is SOOO important.

people often use zero natural cover, and stand in the middle of a point, and just shoot forward into a full team that instantly sees you because you are behind your tank, and any time they shoot him, you also might get hit.

Honestly, gotta say, with all of the content being made for this game, you’re one of the very few actually teaching how to improve.

[zzznardszzz]

Any tips for jumping in with Hulk going 1 on 6? Seems to happen a lot.

[simmysingh]

Coach back again with another hood classic 💯

[organbandage]

Love the content Mills, been helping me improve a lot (this is my first competitive shooter in general).

That being said, could you make a Thor guide? I’ve seen you playing a lot of Thor, so I feel like you would have the expertise to make it really good. He can be pretty daunting to learn for some players, myself included. I’m sure you have tons of content planned, so I don’t expect you to get to it right away, but it would be greatly appreciated.

Went from plat 3 to diamond 3 tonight thanks for all the guides!!

[PlatinumAssassin]

Great tips. Im a shooter 20+year veteran at this point and former OW player but its often good to get a reminder of the fundamentals regardless of skill level.

That said much kudos for mentioning the health pack thing. I, personally, win a lot of duels that are not flat out ambushes when Im playing a dive DPS by pulling aggro to a strong position that has a health pack. I can either whittle away their health as they approach and top off or have them expend utility trying to kill me and top off. Body blocking and lining your strafe with your preferred health pack is also key.

Lastly, id also say learn where you can easily route to get adjacent health packs. There are some area where more than one pack are in routes from one another. especially if you have a mobility option. This will allow for the player to possibly keep up the pressure, alleviate the use of healers utility on said player, and over all have an abusable source of healing x1-x2 times.

W channel bro!! Almost plat with you recent tips.

[kazkatgamer]

Literally my random tank this morning was trying to tell us that we had bad healers and we needed to basically swap to meta (cloak and luna) when he single handedly walked the team into a choke hold space with aoe and high damage enemies watching the way, and chose that route 3 times... We won the next two parts cause i and the healers could split up and divided the proper healing up amongst the team and keep ppl stable.
Like no it wasnt healing that was the problem it was your bad position and route choice.

[TEEJTHEYEEP]

Hey I have a big question. How do people customize the yellow thing on the right side of the screen, that appears whenever you get a kill, to different colors based off of your hero? I can’t find it in the settings menu, and I don’t know if there are any requirements to get them. Any answers will help.

[Malxer]

would you mind sharing your video settings? Did you boost up brightness/saturation? Your game looks so sharp.

[thememewalker]

Great content as always Coach, can't wait for the Thor guide

[nothappyboi]

The chaos reminds me Smite so much. I never played overwatch but the team fighting and abilities are very similar. Pick your battles, in and out, don’t rush a team lol

[IKAMarvelRivals]

Misplacing yourself in Marvel Rivals is like handing yourself over to Thanos

[danielcolt]

I'd argue you're not forgoing Good Positioning when you have significant resource advantage, being on top of the enemy team to seal the deal IS Good Positioning in that moment. Great guide, thanks coach!!

[supernovafox]

I've been bouncing back and forth between plat 2-3 for a couple of days now and I know positioning is the thing i need to work on, but i feel like playing as tank (strange) alot of these tips aren't applicable, i know they are, but i don't see how i can translate them to my role.
