Summary
NetEase has released new statistics and data highlighting the most picked and highest win rate characters in Marvel Rivals across all game modes. Jeff the Land Shark emerges as the most popular hero in Quickplay, while Mantis boasts the highest win rate. Storm, on the other hand, has one of the lowest pick rates, though upcoming buffs in Marvel Rivals Season 1 may change this.
NetEase's Marvel Rivals has seen tremendous success since its early December launch, and the developer is eager to maintain this momentum into Season 1. A significant highlight of the upcoming season is the introduction of The Fantastic Four, with Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman joining at the season's start, followed by The Human Torch and The Thing mid-season. As Season 1 approaches, NetEase has shared a "Hero Hot List" that details the most picked and highest win rate heroes from the first month.
In Quickplay, Jeff the Land Shark is the top pick on both PC and console. For competitive play, Cloak & Dagger leads on consoles, while Luna Snow is the favorite on PC.
Marvel Rivals Most Picked Heroes:
- Jeff the Land Shark - Quickplay (PC and Console)
- Cloak & Dagger - Competitive (Console)
- Luna Snow - Competitive (PC)
Despite Jeff's popularity, Mantis holds the highest win rate across all roles, platforms, and game modes, with a 56% win rate in Quickplay and 55% in Competitive. Other high-performing characters include Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock. These statistics may shift with the launch of Season 1 on January 10.
Storm, a Duelist, has faced criticism for her low damage output and challenging playstyle, resulting in a dismal pick rate of 1.66% in Quickplay and 0.69% in Competitive. However, with the announced balance changes for Season 1, Storm is set to receive significant buffs, potentially improving her standing in the game.
