Marvel Rivals adds a new feature called Second Valuable Player (SVP) to reward strong performances, even on losing teams. While MVP (Most Valuable Player) highlights winners, SVP acknowledges impactful contributions from players who fall short of victory.
What Is SVP in Marvel Rivals?
SVP stands for Second Valuable Player. It identifies the best player on the losing team based on in-game performance metrics. Unlike MVP, which honors the top player on the winning side, SVP highlights achievements like:
- High kill counts
- Strong damage output
- Effective healing
This feature ensures players who perform well in defeats receive recognition, boosting morale and encouraging consistent effort.
How Are MVP and SVP Selected?
Marvel Rivals evaluates player performance after each match. The system considers kills, assists, healing, and key plays but avoids rigid formulas.
- MVP goes to the top performer on the winning team.
- SVP honors the standout player on the losing team.
In ranked matches, SVP provides added benefits by reducing ranking point penalties for losing players who excel. This balances fairness and rewards effort.
Why SVP Matters in Ranked Matches
The SVP system affects ranked gameplay directly. Players with the SVP tag face smaller ranking point losses than teammates, rewarding individual skill even in defeat.
This encourages players to:
- Focus on personal performance
- Stay engaged in difficult matches
- Strive for consistency in competitive games
Recognizing individual effort keeps matches competitive and fun.
