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 updates.

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 extremely low pick rates (1.66% in Quickplay and a mere 0.69% in Competitive), reflecting player dissatisfaction with her current performance. This could soon change, however, as NetEase has announced significant buffs for Storm in the upcoming Season 1 balance patch.

The arrival of the Fantastic Four in Season 1, starting 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 the meta and potentially shake up these rankings. The Season 1 launch on January 10th will be a crucial test for these predictions.
