Marvel Rivals Unleashes Stats and Top Hero Picks

Marvel Rivals' First Month Hero Data Unveiled: Jeff the Land Shark Reigns Supreme, Mantis Dominates Wins

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, win rate tells a different story. Mantis, a Strategist hero, surprisingly claims the top spot with an impressive win rate exceeding 50% in both Quickplay (56%) and Competitive (55%). Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock follow closely behind.

The competitive scene shows a platform-specific preference: Cloak & Dagger reigns supreme on consoles, while Luna Snow dominates on PC.

The "Hero Hot List" also reveals a significant disparity. Storm, a Duelist, suffers from a remarkably low pick rate (1.66% in Quickplay and a dismal 0.69% in Competitive), largely attributed to player feedback regarding her underwhelming damage and frustrating gameplay. However, hope remains for Storm; Season 1 balance changes promise significant buffs that may revitalize her popularity.

Season 1, launching January 10th, introduces the Fantastic Four, adding Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman immediately, with The Human Torch and The Thing arriving mid-season. This influx of new characters is expected to significantly alter the meta and potentially shake up the current hero dominance. The upcoming changes promise exciting shifts in the Marvel Rivals landscape.
