Mastering Marvel Rivals: January 2025's Best and Worst Character Win Rates
Success in Marvel Rivals, like any hero shooter, hinges on both skillful gameplay and strategic character selection. Understanding which characters boast the highest and lowest win rates is crucial for maximizing your team's potential. This data, current as of January 2025, highlights the top performers and those lagging behind.
Underperforming Heroes and Villains:
Analyzing win rates provides valuable insight into the game's meta, identifying dominant and underperforming characters. No one wants to be a liability to their team, so understanding which characters consistently win is key to avoiding that situation. Conversely, this data can be used to address imbalances within a team.
Here are the Marvel Rivals characters with the lowest win rates in 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, hindering their ability to achieve higher win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique capabilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's win rate may further decrease in Season 2 due to an upcoming nerf to his Ultimate Attack. Venom, the sole tank on this 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.
Top-Tier Characters:
For players seeking a main character with a high win rate, the following data will prove invaluable:
**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, are noteworthy for their high win rates, demonstrating their potential to significantly impact matches.
While this win rate data shouldn't dictate your character choices exclusively, it serves as a valuable indicator of characters who present the greatest challenge to opponents. Therefore, while personal preference is important, familiarizing yourself with at least one high-win-rate character is a strategic advantage.
