Editorial update log

Pocket Rivals Updates

A public log of meaningful Pocket Rivals content, navigation, trust, and UX improvements. This is written for players who want to see what changed and for reviewers checking whether the site is actively maintained.

Last updated 2026-06-06

Maintenance signal

What changed, where it lives, and why it matters

Pocket Rivals keeps gameplay freshness in the Daily Digest. This page tracks larger site-quality changes: new guide clusters, route improvements, transparency pages, accessibility checks, and content-depth milestones.

Dated updates

This page summarizes visible site improvements with route links instead of hiding all progress in internal docs.

Player value

Each entry states what changed and why it helps a Bronze-to-Platinum Marvel Rivals player make a better queue decision.

No inflated claims

Entries describe shipped public pages and known limits; missing contact or operator assets stay documented as pending elsewhere.

Recent improvements

Public change history

2026-06-06

Ranked warmup drill guide

Shipped

Added a 10-minute warmup guide that turns aim, cooldown, route, and review habits into one short pre-queue routine.

Player value: Players get a practical drill surface they can use immediately before ranked, and the guide cluster gains more original advice beyond static tier data.

2026-06-06

Ranked FAQ and source-limit answers

Shipped

Added a visible Ranked FAQ covering which tool to use first, tier-list limits, best-hero decisions, Match Analysis privacy, freshness, and independent-site status.

Player value: Players and reviewers get quick, schema-backed answers without the site inventing live-stat, account-level, or official-affiliation claims.

2026-06-06

Best Heroes ranked hub

Shipped

Added a role-first Best Heroes page that turns the tier baseline into practical ranked picks, pick reasons, and safe-swap warnings.

Player value: Players can compare strong picks by role before committing to a hero pool, instead of reading a tier list as a guaranteed answer.

2026-06-06

Current ranked meta report

Shipped

Added a current-context report that combines the latest official-update window, tier spread, role first-check picks, queue rules, and source limits.

Player value: Players get a readable meta summary before chasing a hero trend, while the site stays clear about not being a live match tracker.

2026-06-06

Readable site map and recovery paths

Shipped

Added a public route index and improved missing-page recovery so players and reviewers can find every maintained public area without guessing.

Player value: Clearer navigation helps new players move from a problem to the right tool, guide, hero page, or trust page.

2026-06-06

Full-roster hero editorial coverage

Shipped

Expanded hero pages so every tracked roster hero has a Pocket Rivals ranked read, swap trigger, common lower-rank mistake, drill, and review basis.

Player value: Hero pages now add original Bronze-to-Platinum advice instead of only repeating official roster facts.

2026-06-06

Ranked guides organized by player problem

Shipped

Grouped guide topics around hero choice, role basics, fight control, counterplay, objective play, and post-loss review.

Player value: Players can start from the mistake they feel in ranked instead of scanning a flat article list.

2026-06-06

Source, methodology, and author transparency

Shipped

Added visible pages explaining the temporary byline model, official source boundaries, correction readiness, AI assistance, and what the site does not claim.

Player value: Trust pages make it clearer which parts are official context, which parts are Pocket Rivals judgement, and which assets are still pending.

2026-06-05

Content hubs beyond tool UI

Shipped

Added crawlable hubs for roles, team comps, team-ups, maps, counterplay, glossary terms, and match-analysis examples.

Player value: The site now explains the decisions behind its tools, giving users useful reading even when they are not actively filling a picker.

Still pending

Trust assets that need a real source

The next trust upgrades require real owner-supplied assets: a public contact channel, a stable operator name or pseudonym, and a short author bio. Until then, Pocket Rivals keeps the current status honest on the Contact, About, Author Profile, and Methodology pages.
