Marvel Rivals, NetEase's hit game, has released its first month's hero statistics, highlighting the most and least picked characters and their win rates. The game's popularity continues to surge since its early December launch, setting the stage for the highly anticipated Season 1.

Season 1 introduces the Fantastic Four, with Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman arriving at launch, followed by The Human Torch and The Thing later in the season. Before the new season begins, NetEase unveiled a "Hero Hot List," detailing character performance in Quickplay and Competitive modes.

Jeff the Land Shark emerges as a clear fan favorite, achieving the highest pick rate in Quickplay on both PC and console. Cloak & Dagger dominate the console competitive scene, while Luna Snow reigns supreme in PC competitive matches.

Marvel Rivals Most Picked Heroes

• Jeff the Land Shark - Quickplay (PC and Console)
• Cloak & Dagger - Competitive (Console)
• Luna Snow - Competitive (PC)

While Jeff’s popularity is undeniable, Mantis boasts the highest win rate across all platforms and game modes. This Strategist hero achieves over 50% win rates in both Quickplay (56%) and Competitive (55%), closely followed by characters like Loki, Hela, and Adam Warlock. However, these rankings are likely to shift with the launch of Season 1 on January 10th.

In contrast, Storm, a Duelist character, suffers from a significantly low pick rate – a mere 1.66% in Quickplay and a dismal 0.69% in Competitive. This low popularity stems from criticism regarding her underwhelming damage and frustrating gameplay. However, Season 1 balance changes promise substantial buffs for Storm, potentially revitalizing her standing in the game.
