In Marvel Rivals, character selection is as crucial as skill. This January 2025 data reveals the top and bottom performers, helping you avoid underperforming heroes and leverage the most effective ones.
Underperforming Marvel Rivals Characters (January 2025)
Win rate data in hero shooters like Marvel Rivals highlights meta-dominating characters. Understanding this helps players avoid hindering their team. The following characters have the lowest win rates:
| **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 on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique strengths of Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 might further decrease his win rate. Venom, the only tank on the list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the final blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will boost his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
Top-Performing Marvel Rivals Characters (January 2025)
Choosing a main character? Consider these top performers:
| **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% |
While fan favorites like Peni Parker and Mantis remain strong, Magik and Black Panther, despite lower pick rates, demonstrate significant potential. Their damage output can be highly disruptive.
This data isn't prescriptive, but it indicates characters who are challenging to counter. While personal preference matters, familiarity with at least one high-win-rate character is beneficial.
Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
