Black Widow, once a feared character, has failed to recover from her previous setbacks.

Curious Pick and Ban Rates

Notably, Invisible Woman boasts the highest pick rate at 55%, demonstrating her immediate popularity among players, while Black Widow has the lowest pick rate, trailing far behind. When it comes to bans, Hulk leads with a staggering 41.99% ban rate, showcasing concerns among players about his dominance in competitive gameplay. Meanwhile, Scarlet Witch is hardly banned at all, with a mere 0.07%.

Quickplay Insights: A Different Battle Ground

In Quickplay, there’s an interesting twist. Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman enjoy impressive win rates of 72.68% and 68.47%, respectively. However, several competitive favorites like Peni Parker show much lower win rates in Quickplay, indicating that teamwork dynamics can drastically affect performance. It’s essential to remember that while win rates are informative, success also hinges on creating a well-synergized team rather than simply choosing among the highest win percentage heroes. This could involve having a balance of roles, including two healers, two DPS, and two tanks, as seen with characters like Rocket, Mantis, Magik, and Storm.

While many players are drawn to the allure of dominating heroes like Invisible Woman, it’s crucial to maintain a fun and cohesive experience in Quickplay.
