In the free-to-play PvP hero shooter Marvel Rivals, performance is clearly highlighted, especially for top performers on both winning and losing teams. This guide explains the meaning and implications of SVP.
Marvel Rivals SVP Explained
SVP in Marvel Rivals stands for Second Valuable Player. This accolade is given to the player who performed best on the losing team. This is distinct from MVP (Most Valuable Player), awarded to the best player on the winning team.
How to Achieve SVP in Marvel Rivals
The criteria for obtaining SVP depends on your chosen character's role. Generally, excelling in your assigned role significantly increases your chances of earning SVP, even in defeat.
| Role | Key Performance Indicator |
|---|---|
| Duelist | Highest damage dealt on your team |
| Strategist | Highest HP healed on your team |
| Vanguard | Highest damage blocked on your team |
Consistent strong performance within your role's parameters is key to securing the SVP title.
SVP Benefits and Implications
Currently, SVP doesn't offer in-game rewards in quick play matches; it's purely a recognition of individual performance.
However, community consensus suggests that achieving SVP in Competitive matches prevents the loss of ranked points. Normally, a Competitive loss results in a ranked point deduction. Earning SVP, however, appears to mitigate this penalty, preserving your rank and making progression slightly easier.
