In Marvel Rivals, the various heroes are divided into 3 classes. If you want to build a good team, you need a bit of everything. Supporters can also deal some serious damage. But that didn’t matter to one player. He reached the rank of Grandmaster with a single hero without dealing any damage.
Which hero did he use to achieve this? On reddit, the user Habooskie showcased his great success in Marvel Rivals. With his account NoDMGRocket, the player reached rank Grandmaster 3. That alone is already a small achievement. The special thing about him is hinted at in his name.
He exclusively played the hero Rocket Raccoon and actually caused 0 damage. In his post, he also published images of his statistics from the current Season 1.
- He needed 18.6 hours to become Grandmaster 3
- He played 108 matches, winning 71 of them
- During this, he achieved a total healing value of 2,912,458
- He blocked 315,984 damage
- His statistics also show that he actually caused 0 damage.
This is an impressive achievement. While supporters are supposed to assist the team, they usually also deal significant damage. The best supporters in Marvel Rivals can do this quite well. On reddit, he is being celebrated for his success.

This refers to challenges where players attempt to complete a game without dealing damage. - Other users compare Rocket Raccoon to Mercy from Overwatch. StormierNik (via reddit) notes:
Rocket is surprisingly most comparable to Mercy. He is more focused on healing and hardly wants to use a weapon.
- Erratic Seven (via reddit) compares the player’s performance to the film Hacksaw Ridge, where a soldier refuses to use a weapon:
This man saw Hacksaw Ridge and asked: Was that a challenge?
Rocket Raccoon is a hero that is probably best suited for such a challenge. With one of his fire modes, he can shoot spheres that heal his teammates. Additionally, he is also mobile. With another ability, he can even revive. Through his Ultimate, he can increase his team’s damage.
Rocket Raccoon works particularly well in combination with Punisher and Winter Soldier, who gain unlimited ammunition and increased fire rate through one of his abilities.
Should a support deal less damage? It depends on the hero, the player, and the team. If you have strong DPS players on your team, you might want to try to assist them and heal tanks. However, as a supporter, you will often find yourself in situations where you need to defend yourself. After healing and buffing all your teammates, you should still try to deal damage. It’s always worth it.
Marvel Rivals is a game that regularly changes the meta with buffs and nerfs. This constantly alters which hero is strong and which hero is weak. Currently, changes in Season 1 have led to a mutant from the X-Men becoming quite strong: A forgotten mutant is now the strongest heroine in Marvel’s Rivals
