NetEase named Marvel Rivals' most victorious hero

Official website data reveals surprising character popularity in Marvel Rivals. In "quick play," Jeff reigns supreme, outpacing Venom and Cloak & Dagger. The competitive landscape shifts dramatically. On PC, Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis lead the pack, while console players favored Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis.

A curious twist: Mantis, despite leading the popularity charts in competitive mode, also holds the unfortunate title of most defeated hero, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magic on both PC and consoles. Console play saw fourteen additional characters boasting win rates over 50%.

Conversely, the least popular characters paint a different picture. Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine lagged in "quick play," while Nemore claimed that dubious honor in competitive matches.

Marvel Rivals' recent surge in popularity, fueled by over 500 mod uploads in a single month, has unfortunately sparked controversy. Nexus Mods' removal of modifications replacing Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden ignited a firestorm of user reaction.

Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, addressed the situation in a private Reddit discussion, explaining the simultaneous removal of both Trump and Biden-related mods to avoid accusations of bias. This action, aimed at maintaining neutrality, has curiously gone largely unmentioned by YouTube commentators.
