Marvel Rivals Unveils First Month Hero Statistics: Jeff the Land Shark Reigns Supreme in Popularity, Mantis Dominates Win Rates
NetEase has released comprehensive player statistics for Marvel Rivals, highlighting the most and least popular heroes during the game's initial month. The data reveals interesting trends in hero selection and win rates across Quickplay and Competitive modes on both PC and console.
Jeff the Land Shark emerges as the undisputed champion of popularity, boasting the highest pick rate in Quickplay across all platforms. However, while Jeff is a fan favorite, Mantis surprisingly claims the top spot for win rate, exceeding 50% in both Quickplay (56%) and Competitive (55%). Other high-performing heroes include Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock.
The data also reveals significant disparities in hero selection. Storm, a Duelist character, suffers from a remarkably low pick rate (1.66% in Quickplay and a dismal 0.69% in Competitive), largely attributed to player dissatisfaction with her performance. However, NetEase has announced substantial buffs for Storm in the upcoming Season 1, potentially altering her standing in the meta.
Here's a breakdown of the most picked heroes:
- Quickplay (PC & Console): Jeff the Land Shark
- Competitive (Console): Cloak & Dagger
- Competitive (PC): Luna Snow
The arrival of the Fantastic Four in Season 1, launching January 10th, is expected to significantly impact these statistics, creating a new dynamic in the Marvel Rivals hero meta. The introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman at launch, followed by The Human Torch and The Thing later in the season, promises exciting changes to gameplay and hero selection.
