Marvel Rivals' new Chrono Shield Cards item has divided players and reminded me that some people should just stay in Bronze

To mark the anniversary of Marvel Rivals' first release into Early Access, the devs cooked up a couple of prizes and events for players. Most are just harmless trinkets, but there's one new item that is wreaking havoc in the low-ranked elos.

Chrono Shield cards are a new item introduced in Galacta's Gift, a challenge board that gives you rewards in exchange for playing games. Activating these cards protects players in Gold rank and below from losing ranked points after a defeat. So your competitive rank won't be affected no matter how badly you (or your team) play.
