Marvel Rivals: Season 1 Approaches with New Hero Data and Buffs
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 performance, setting the stage for the upcoming changes.
Jeff the Land Shark reigns supreme as the most-picked hero in Quickplay on both PC and console. However, Mantis boasts the highest win rate overall, exceeding 50% in both Quickplay and Competitive modes. Other high-performing heroes include Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.
The most picked heroes in each category are:
- Quickplay (PC & Console): Jeff the Land Shark
- Competitive (Console): Cloak & Dagger
- Competitive (PC): Luna Snow
Conversely, Storm, a Duelist character, suffers from extremely low pick rates (1.66% in Quickplay and a dismal 0.69% in Competitive), largely due to player feedback regarding her underwhelming damage and frustrating gameplay. However, hope is on the horizon for Storm players. NetEase has announced significant buffs for her in Season 1, potentially boosting her popularity and win rate.
Season 1, launching January 10th, introduces the Fantastic Four (Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman initially, with The Human Torch and The Thing following later). This influx of new characters is expected to significantly alter the meta and the existing hero statistics. The upcoming balance changes and the addition of the Fantastic Four promise a dynamic shift in the Marvel Rivals landscape.
