Marvel Rivals Unveils Hero Stats and Popular Picks

Marvel Rivals' First Month Hero Data Unveiled: Jeff the Land Shark Reigns Supreme, Mantis Dominates Wins

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 updates.

Jeff the Land Shark emerges as the undisputed Quickplay champion, boasting the highest pick rate across both PC and console platforms. However, while popularity is high, win rate tells a different story. Mantis, a Strategist hero, surprisingly claims the top spot for win rate across all game modes and platforms, exceeding 50% in both Quickplay (56%) and Competitive (55%). Other high-performing heroes include Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.

The "Hero Hot List" also showcases platform-specific competitive favorites: Cloak & Dagger for console players and Luna Snow for PC players.

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, a Duelist character, struggles with incredibly low pick rates (1.66% in Quickplay and a dismal 0.69% in Competitive), largely attributed to player feedback regarding her underpowered damage and frustrating gameplay. However, hope is on the horizon for Storm players. NetEase has announced significant buffs for her in the upcoming Season 1 balance changes, potentially altering her standing considerably.

The arrival of the Fantastic Four in Season 1, launching January 10th, is expected to significantly impact these statistics, creating a dynamic new meta for players to explore.
