Marvel Rivals Season 1: Hero Stats Reveal Popular Picks and Top Winners
NetEase has released the first month's hero statistics for Marvel Rivals, highlighting the most and least popular characters across all game modes. The data reveals player preferences and win rates, offering insights into the game's meta before the launch of Season 1.
The arrival of the Fantastic Four in Season 1 is a major draw for players. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman debut at launch, with The Human Torch and The Thing following mid-season. Before this exciting update, NetEase shared a "Hero Hot List," detailing top picks and win rates.
Top Picks:
Jeff the Land Shark reigns supreme as the most frequently chosen hero in Quickplay on both PC and console. For competitive play, Cloak & Dagger leads on console, while Luna Snow dominates on PC.
Top Winners:
Despite Jeff's popularity, Mantis boasts the highest win rate overall, exceeding 50% in both Quickplay (56%) and Competitive (55%). Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock also show strong win percentages. These statistics are expected to shift with the Season 1 balance changes.
Least Popular:
Storm, a Duelist character, suffers from low pick rates (1.66% in Quickplay and a dismal 0.69% in Competitive), largely attributed to criticisms of her damage output and gameplay. However, upcoming Season 1 buffs promise to significantly improve her performance. The introduction of new heroes and balance adjustments will likely reshape the meta in the coming weeks.
