According to official statistics, in "quick play" mode, Jeff emerges as the most popular character, outshining Venom and Cloak & Dagger. However, the landscape shifts in competitive mode. On PC, Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis lead the charge, whereas on consoles, Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis take the spotlight for popularity.
Notably, Mantis not only tops the popularity charts but also holds the title for the most defeated hero in competitive play. She leads on both PC and consoles, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magic. On consoles, Mantis' performance is bolstered by 14 other characters who consistently achieve win rates above 50%.
On the flip side, the least favored characters in "quick play" are Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine. In competitive mode, Nemore occupies this unfortunate position.
In other news, Marvel Rivals has seen an influx of over 500 mods within a single month, sparking controversy. The Nexus Mods website made headlines when it removed mods that replaced Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, stirring strong reactions from users.
In a private Reddit discussion, TheDarkOne, the owner of Nexus Mods, explained the decision. He stressed that to avoid accusations of bias, both the Trump and Biden mods were removed on the same day. TheDarkOne stated, "To prevent bias, we eliminated the Biden moderator on the same day as the Trump moderator."
Curiously, YouTube bloggers have remained silent on this matter, leaving the community to ponder the reasons behind their reticence.
