Success in Marvel Rivals, like any hero shooter, hinges on both skillful play and strategic character selection. Understanding which characters boast the highest and lowest win rates is crucial for maximizing your team's potential. This data snapshot from January 2025 reveals the game's current meta.
Win rate data in hero shooters like Marvel Rivals illuminates the game's meta, highlighting dominant and underperforming heroes. This information helps players avoid hindering their team's performance. Below are the Marvel Rivals characters with the lowest win rates as of January 2025:
**Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
Black Widow | 1.21% | 41.07% |
Jeff the Land Shark | 13.86% | 44.38% |
Squirrel Girl | 2.93% | 44.78% |
Moon Knight | 9.53% | 46.35% |
The Punisher | 8.68% | 46.48% |
Cloak & Dagger | 20.58% | 46.68% |
Scarlet Witch | 6.25% | 46.97% |
Venom | 14.65% | 47.56% |
Winter Soldier | 6.49% | 47.97% |
Wolverine | 1.95% | 48.04% |
Many characters on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting their win rate statistics. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further decrease his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on the list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the finishing blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will enhance his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
For players seeking a strong character, understanding the highest win rates is invaluable. Here are the Marvel Rivals characters with the best win rates in January 2025:
**Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
Mantis | 19.77% | 55.20% |
Hela | 12.86% | 54.24% |
Loki | 8.19% | 53.79% |
Magik | 4.02% | 53.63% |
Adam Warlock | 7.45% | 53.59% |
Rocket Raccoon | 9.51% | 53.20% |
Peni Parker | 18% | 53.05% |
Thor | 12.52% | 52.65% |
Black Panther | 3.48% | 52.60% |
Hulk | 6.74% | 51.79% |
This list features familiar favorites like Peni Parker and Mantis. However, characters with lower pick rates, such as Magik and Black Panther, also demonstrate high win rates, highlighting their potential for impactful gameplay in skilled hands.
While this data provides valuable insights, it doesn't dictate character choices. However, familiarity with top-performing characters offers a strategic advantage.
