Marvel Rivals: Season 1 Approaches with New Hero Data Revealed
NetEase has unveiled 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 update.
Jeff the Land Shark reigns supreme in Quickplay across both PC and console platforms, boasting the highest pick rate. However, Mantis surprisingly claims the top spot for win rate, exceeding 50% in both Quickplay and Competitive modes. This high win rate suggests a strong strategic advantage, surpassing even popular characters like Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.
The competitive scene shows a platform-specific preference: Cloak & Dagger dominates console competitive matches, while Luna Snow reigns 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
Conversely, Storm struggles with incredibly low pick rates (1.66% in Quickplay, 0.69% in Competitive), reflecting player dissatisfaction with her current performance. NetEase addresses this in Season 1, promising significant buffs to improve her viability.
The arrival of the Fantastic Four in Season 1, starting with Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman at launch, followed by The Human Torch and The Thing later, is expected to significantly alter the meta and potentially shake up these statistics. Season 1 launches January 10th, making this a pivotal moment for the game's competitive landscape.
