NetEase has shared a wealth of hero statistics in Marvel Rivals, providing fans with insights into the most and least popular characters, as well as those boasting the highest win rates during the initial month. Since its launch in early December, Marvel Rivals has quickly gained popularity, establishing itself as a significant success for developer NetEase.
The exciting news for Season 1 that has fans buzzing is the introduction of The Fantastic Four in Marvel Rivals. Players can look forward to the arrival of all four iconic characters, starting with Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman available at launch, while The Human Torch and The Thing will join the action later in the season.
Before the launch of Season 1, NetEase has unveiled the “Hero Hot List” for Marvel Rivals, giving fans insight into the most popular characters and their winning stats in both Quickplay and Competitive modes. As expected, Jeff the Land Shark stands out as a beloved choice among players in Quickplay, while Cloak & Dagger lead the pack for console competitors, and Luna Snow shines in the competitive PC scene.

Luna Snow- Competitive (PC)
Jeff the Land Shark – Quickplay (PC and Console)
Cloak & Dagger – Competitive (Console)
Although Jeff is often seen as one of the standout characters in Marvel Rivals, he doesn’t hold the top win rate among the roster. Instead, Mantis claims the number one position across all roles, platforms, and game modes. This might come as a surprise, but the Strategist hero boasts a win rate exceeding 50% in both Quickplay and Competitive, with figures of 56% and 55% respectively.
At the other end of the scale is Storm, a Duelist character who has faced significant backlash from fans for her underwhelming damage and challenging gameplay. Her pick rate is quite low, sitting at just 1.66% in Quickplay and an even more disappointing 0.69% in Competitive matches.
