In Marvel Rivals, one player's unique approach to climbing the ranks without dealing damage has captured the community's attention and sparked a new conversation about strategy.
In a game where every shot counts, one player wanted to prove that you don’t need to deal damage to rise through the ranks. NoDamageRocket, a Marvel Rivals player, reached the Celestial rank by focusing entirely on healing and support, without killing a single enemy. But there was a slip-up along the way. Here's the story of how a Rocket main became a legend in the Marvel Rivals community.
The Pacifist Rocket Raccoon Journey
NoDamageRocket’s incredible journey began with a simple idea: what if you could rank up without harming anyone? This Marvel Rivals player, specializing in Rocket Raccoon, set out to prove that being a healer and support character could carry you to the top. And did they ever deliver. By solely focusing on healing and strategic positioning, NoDamageRocket made it all the way to Celestial, a feat no one thought possible.The climb to Grandmaster was already a groundbreaking achievement, but pushing further into Celestial while avoiding dealing damage turned heads. The community on Reddit and Twitch watched in awe as NoDamageRocket's strategy unfolded — prioritizing team support over damage-dealing.
The Slip-Up That Changed Everything
Unfortunately, no run is without its hiccups. Right before hitting Celestial, NoDamageRocket made a mistake that would alter their flawless record. In a brief moment of bad timing, Rocket’s primary fire hit a target, dealing 22 damage. The cause? An accidental shot at an item in the environment, which was never meant to hurt anyone.
Though the accident was unfortunate, NoDamageRocket quickly addressed it with a lighthearted approach. They jokingly reached out to the Marvel Rivals developers, asking if the 22 damage could be removed from the records. While it was denied, the true value of this journey remains in their unique playstyle and impressive ranks. We can only bow to the unique achievement and promise we aren't snitching, so let's just pretend he's still rightfully called NoDamageRocket, right?
