Marvel Rivals: Season 1 Hero Data Unveiled – Who Reigns Supreme?
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 and the addition of the Fantastic Four.
Jeff the Land Shark emerges as the undisputed Quickplay champion, boasting the highest pick rate across both PC and console platforms. However, when it comes to win rates, Mantis steals the show, achieving an impressive 56% win rate in Quickplay and 55% in Competitive modes. This Strategist hero outperforms other top contenders like Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.
The competitive scene showcases different favorites: Cloak & Dagger dominate on consoles, while Luna Snow reigns supreme on PC.
Here's a breakdown of the most-picked heroes:
- Quickplay (PC & Console): Jeff the Land Shark
- Competitive (Console): Cloak & Dagger
- Competitive (PC): Luna Snow
In stark contrast to the popular picks, Storm struggles with incredibly low pick rates: a mere 1.66% in Quickplay and a dismal 0.69% in Competitive. This Duelist character's underwhelming damage and frustrating gameplay have contributed to her unpopularity. However, hope remains for Storm fans, as Season 1 promises significant buffs that could drastically alter her performance and popularity.
The arrival of the Fantastic Four in Season 1 (launching January 10th), along with these balance changes, is poised to reshape the Marvel Rivals meta, making these initial statistics a fascinating snapshot of the game's early days.
