Venom14.65%47.56%
Winter Soldier6.49%47.97%
Wolverine1.95%48.04%

Many on this list have low pick rates, impacting win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique abilities of Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further decrease his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on the list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the finishing blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will boost his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
