Marvel Rivals: Post-Launch Hero Statistics and Season 1 Updates
NetEase has released comprehensive player statistics for Marvel Rivals, highlighting the most and least popular characters during the game's initial month. These stats cover pick rates and win rates across Quickplay and Competitive modes on both PC and console.
Jeff the Land Shark reigns supreme in Quickplay, boasting the highest pick rate across both platforms. However, Mantis surprisingly holds the top spot for win rate, exceeding 50% in both Quickplay (56%) and Competitive (55%) modes. Other high-performing characters include Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.
The character data reveals interesting trends:
Most Popular Heroes:
- Quickplay (PC & Console): Jeff the Land Shark
- Competitive (Console): Cloak & Dagger
- Competitive (PC): Luna Snow
Win Rate Leader: Mantis
Conversely, Storm, a Duelist character, suffers from extremely low pick rates (1.66% in Quickplay, 0.69% in Competitive), reflecting player dissatisfaction with her performance. This is likely due to her perceived low damage output and unintuitive gameplay.
However, hope is on the horizon for Storm players. NetEase has announced balance adjustments for Season 1, launching January 10th, which include significant buffs to Storm. This could dramatically alter her pick rate and win rate in the coming season. The addition of the Fantastic Four to the roster will also undoubtedly impact the overall meta. The arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman at launch, followed by The Human Torch and The Thing mid-season, promises exciting new gameplay dynamics.
