Flawless Marvel Rivals Ranked Attempt Ends in Unexpected Defeat

Here’s a fresh rendition of the article:

One Marvel Rivals player, going by the username NoDmgRocket, attempted an ambitious pacifist run as Rocket Raccoon but met an untimely mishap. Initially, they managed to progress through ranked play without causing any damage, only for their streak to end when they accidentally inflicted 22 damage on an opponent just before reaching Celestial rank. Rocket Raccoon is a favored choice for players who enjoy a supportive role, thanks to his excellent healing and buff capabilities. While he has offensive powers, players can opt for a more supportive strategy, foregoing attacks in favor of healing.

NoDmgRocket gained notoriety in the community for reaching Grandmaster rank without inflicting a single point of damage. To substantiate their achievement, they shared a Reddit post showcasing screenshots of their stats, revealing an astounding 2.9 million healing points over 108 matches. The feat received mixed reactions; some commended NoDmgRocket’s persistence, while others believed that dealing damage was integral to team success. Nonetheless, the player was determined to continue their unique climb up the ranks without causing any harm.

In a YouTube video, NoDmgRocket recounted the unfortunate incident where their pacifist streak was broken. The footage shows them playing as Rocket Raccoon and engaging in battle with a clone of Loki, technically a non-damaging action. However, a Cloak and Dagger player suddenly moved into their line, resulting in an unintentional 22 damage. Attached to the video was the light-hearted remark, “Rocket’s devastated.”

The moment sparked a conversation among fellow players, with some cheekily noting that perhaps the Strategist role wasn’t being played as intended. Others empathized, suggesting ways to move forward—one user humorously proposed a name change to 22DmgRocket. Another queried why the attack button wasn’t disabled, though Rocket Raccoon’s abilities can still be utilized effectively to destroy non-player obstacles without harming opponents. At the time of writing, NoDmgRocket hasn’t shared their next steps.

Attempting a pacifist strategy proves challenging with most Strategists in Marvel Rivals, making Rocket Raccoon a rare exception due to his unique abilities. He can prioritize support through his ultimate ability that boosts allies’ attacks while providing healing. Rocket can even revive fallen teammates and boasts impressive escape abilities, allowing him to dash away from danger or climb walls. This unusual playstyle piqued many gamers’ interest, leaving them eager to see what NoDmgRocket plans next.

Marvel Rivals provides an exciting PVP environment where players can assemble Marvel’s iconic heroes and villains into powerful teams. With fast-paced 6v6 action and destructible environments, the game consistently offers engaging, unpredictable gameplay. Players can experiment with various character synergies, unleashing combinations such as Rocket Raccoon riding Groot or the Hulk charging Iron Man’s armor. As the game’s universe evolves, it brings fresh challenges and new heroes, keeping the battlefield lively and full of potential.
