Compared to other recent live-service multiplayer titles like Concord, Marvel Rivals has managed to penetrate the market and sustain a huge chunk of its player base. Although the game largely resembles Overwatch, its roster featuring Marvel heroes has definitely sat well with fans.
If you’ve seen the SVP banner alongside a player’s name after a match and don’t know what it means, here’s a rundown of the term’s significance.
SVP meaning in Marvel Rivals
SVP stands for the second valuable player in Marvel Rivals who had the best performance after the match’s MVP (most valuable player). An important detail about SVP is that this title is given to a player from the losing team.
Generally, the MVP in the game is handed to the best player of the winning side. From kills and assists to damage output and objective time, many factors help the game decide an MVP and the same metrics apply while choosing the SVP as well.
There’s no fixed way to be the SVP/MVP in Marvel Rivals, though. Just focus on fulfilling your duties as the team’s damage dealer, tank, or healer. A couple of good plays where you trouble multiple opponents at once certainly increase the odds of you ending up with any of these titles.
While you wouldn’t want to be the SVP as it’s from the losing team, the upside is that getting this title ensures you lose the least amount of ranked points after a loss.
Considering that not everyone has a six-person squad to play Marvel Rivals, the SVP mechanic also takes care of players teaming up with random players and risking losing because of someone else’s fault.
For instance, even if you’re a skilled tank for your rank, the lack of a dedicated healer will still stop you from winning the match. And in such a case, getting the SVP will help you not lose a lot of ranked points due to the shortcomings of others.
