Marvel Rivals Season 1: Surprising Hero Win Rates Revealed!

As Marvel Rivals Season 1 progresses, players are beginning to uncover which characters are reigning supreme and which ones are falling behind after a series of adjustments from NetEase. Recent win rate statistics from Rivalsmeta.com are turning heads, particularly when compared to previous tier lists that may no longer hold true.

Character Win Rates in Competitive Mode

Here’s the breakdown of each character's success rate in Competitive Mode:

- **Storm** – 57.70% - **Rocket Raccoon** – 55.99% - **Peni Parker** – 53.41% - **Magik** – 53.40% - **Mantis** – 53.16% - **Thor** – 52.79% - **Captain America** – 51.79% - **Loki** – 51.55% - **Hulk** – 51.37% - **Mister Fantastic** – 51.15% - **Doctor Strange** – 50.80% - **Adam Warlock** – 50.73% - **Wolverine** – 50.72% - **Psylocke** – 50.37% - **Black Panther** – 50.33% - **Groot** – 49.80% - **Iron Man** – 49.77% - **Winter Soldier** – 49.62% - **Invisible Woman** – 49.59% - **Cloak and Dagger** – 49.30% - **Hela** – 49.30% - **Magneto** – 48.84% - **Namor** – 48.83% - **Squirrel Girl** – 48.83% - **Spider-Man** – 48.68% - **Moon Knight** – 48.28% - **Scarlet Witch** – 48.21% - **Venom** – 48.18% - **Star Lord** – 48.15% - **Luna Snow** – 47.99% - **The Punisher** – 47.74% - **Hawkeye** – 42.90% - **Jeff the Land Shark** – 42.86% - **Black Widow** – 40.04%.

The numbers tell some compelling tales. Notably, **Hela** and **Hawkeye** have been heavily nerfed and are performing poorly—Hawkeye's win rate is significantly low. Both he and Black Widow, who struggled immensely in Season Zero and remains underwhelming from recent updates, are trailing behind. In contrast, **Storm** has remarkably climbed to the top position following her buffs, showcasing dramatic improvement.

Character Pick and Ban Rates

Interestingly, **Invisible Woman** boasts the highest pick rate at an astonishing 55%, while **Black Widow** holds the lowest—a reflection of recent balance changes. Hulk sees the highest ban rate at 41.99%, while Scarlet Witch has barely been banned with a mere 0.07%.

Quickplay Mode Insights

Switching gears to Quickplay mode, we see another intriguing trend. **Mr. Fantastic** and **Invisible Woman** have laughable win rates of 72.68% and 68.47%, respectively. On the flip side, characters like **Magneto**, **Black Widow**, **Loki**, **Mantis**, and **Jeff** find themselves at the bottom. It’s worth noting that great heroes can still falter in Quickplay if paired with an underperforming team.

Team Strategy and Composition

While these statistics provide insight, they shouldn’t dictate character choices entirely. Building team synergy is crucial for successful gameplay. Interestingly, if one were to select the top six heroes based on win rates alone in Competitive mode, they would find a balanced mix of roles: two healers (*Rocket Raccoon* and *Mantis*), two tanks (*Peni Parker* and *Thor*), and two DPS (*Magik* and *Storm*).

Currently, players are encouraged to enjoy the game fluidly, picking their favorite characters, especially in Quickplay. The excitement in the game is palpable, as many rush to utilize **Invisible Woman** due to her current popularity.
