Marvel Rivals Season 1: Pre-Season Hero Statistics Unveiled
NetEase has released the first month's hero statistics for Marvel Rivals, highlighting top picks and win rates across all game modes before the launch of Season 1. The data reveals player preferences and character performance leading up to the introduction of the Fantastic Four.
Jeff the Land Shark reigns supreme as the most picked hero in Quickplay on both PC and console. However, Mantis boasts the highest overall win rate, exceeding 50% in both Quickplay (56%) and Competitive (55%) modes. Other high-performing heroes include Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.
The most popular heroes in each category are:
Most Picked Heroes:
- Quickplay (PC & Console): Jeff the Land Shark
- Competitive (Console): Cloak & Dagger
- Competitive (PC): Luna Snow
While Jeff's popularity is undeniable, Mantis's impressive win rate demonstrates a strong skill ceiling or strategic advantage. These statistics are expected to shift significantly with the arrival of Season 1 and its balance changes.
At the other end of the spectrum, Storm, a Duelist, struggles with extremely low pick rates (1.66% Quickplay, 0.69% Competitive), largely due to player feedback regarding her underwhelming damage and gameplay. However, NetEase has announced substantial buffs for Storm in Season 1, potentially altering her position considerably. The inclusion of the Fantastic Four in Season 1, launching January 10th, is also poised to reshape the meta.
