Marvel Rivals Shocker: Unexpected Stats Power Newest Hero

Author : Oliver Feb 20,2025

NetEase Games revamped the hero balance in Marvel Rivals' Season 1 (January), significantly buffing underplayed characters like Storm and Black Widow to enhance gameplay and boost their popularity.

Post-update, Storm's popularity and effectiveness skyrocketed. Rivals Meta data shows her now boasting the highest win rate, a dramatic improvement from her previous obscurity. In competitive play, her win percentage surpasses 56%, with a pick rate climbing to 16%, a stark contrast to her near-zero pick rate before the update. She's now outperforming top-tier heroes like Adam Warlock, Jeff, Spider-Man, Hela, Hulk, Magik, and Iron Man.

While Cloak and Dagger remain the most popular duo, their win rate dipped below 49%. Black Widow, however, continues to be the least popular and successful character.

Marvel Rivals is experiencing significant growth, with hundreds of thousands of players engaging in competitive matches. The Grandmaster title remains highly exclusive, attainable by only 0.1% of players, despite the existence of the Celestial rank.

One player achieved an extraordinary feat during Season 1: reaching Grandmaster rank without suffering any damage across 108 games! This player, utilizing Rocket Raccoon, focused solely on healing teammates, restoring over 2.9 million health points and accumulating nearly 3,500 assists while avoiding any knockouts.
