Marvel Rivals: Season 1 Hero Data Unveiled – Who Reigns Supreme?
NetEase has released comprehensive player statistics for Marvel Rivals, highlighting the most and least popular heroes during the game's initial month. The data reveals surprising trends and hints at potential shifts with the upcoming Season 1 update.
Jeff the Land Shark emerges as the undisputed Quickplay champion, boasting the highest pick rate across both PC and console platforms. However, when it comes to win rates, Mantis steals the show, achieving an impressive over 50% win rate in both Quickplay and Competitive modes (56% and 55% respectively). Other top performers include Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.
The complete list of most-picked heroes is as follows:
- Quickplay (PC & Console): Jeff the Land Shark
- Competitive (Console): Cloak & Dagger
- Competitive (PC): Luna Snow
Conversely, Storm, a Duelist character, struggles with incredibly low pick rates (1.66% in Quickplay and a dismal 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 Season 1 balance changes promise significant buffs, potentially altering her position in the meta.
Season 1, launching January 10th, introduces the Fantastic Four, adding Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman at launch, with The Human Torch and The Thing following later in the season. This influx of new characters is expected to significantly impact the existing hero meta, making the current statistics a snapshot of a rapidly evolving game.
