Marvel Rivals: Unveiled Stats Reveal Top Character Picks

Marvel Rivals: Season 1 Approaches with New Hero Data Revealed

NetEase has unveiled intriguing statistics on Marvel Rivals hero selection and win rates, offering a glimpse into player preferences during the game's initial month. The data reveals top picks and surprising win rate leaders, setting the stage for the upcoming Season 1 and its anticipated Fantastic Four additions.

Jeff the Land Shark reigns supreme as the most frequently chosen hero in Quickplay across both PC and console platforms. However, Mantis unexpectedly claims the top spot for win rate, boasting over 50% in both Quickplay (56%) and Competitive (55%) modes. This high win rate surpasses even popular characters like Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.

The competitive scene reveals platform-specific favorites: Cloak & Dagger dominates on consoles, while Luna Snow leads on PC. This highlights the diverse strategic approaches players employ across different platforms.

Marvel Rivals' Most Popular Heroes:

• Quickplay (PC & Console): Jeff the Land Shark
• Competitive (Console): Cloak & Dagger
• Competitive (PC): Luna Snow

Conversely, Storm, a Duelist character, struggles with extremely low pick rates (1.66% in Quickplay and a mere 0.69% in Competitive). This low popularity is attributed to player feedback regarding her underwhelming damage and frustrating gameplay. However, hope remains for Storm as NetEase has announced significant buffs for her in the upcoming Season 1 balance update, potentially boosting her pick rate and win rate considerably.

The introduction of the Fantastic Four in Season 1, beginning with Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman at launch, followed by The Human Torch and The Thing later in the season, is expected to significantly impact these statistics. The upcoming balance changes and new characters promise a shake-up in the Marvel Rivals meta, making Season 1 an exciting time for players.
