Mastering Marvel Rivals: January 2025 Win Rate Analysis
Success in Marvel Rivals hinges on both skillful gameplay and strategic character selection. Understanding which characters boast the highest and lowest win rates is crucial for optimizing your team's performance. This analysis, based on January 2025 data, reveals the top and bottom performers.
Underperforming Characters:
Win rate data in hero shooters like Marvel Rivals highlights the meta's dominant forces. Knowing which characters struggle can prevent you from hindering your team. The following characters exhibited 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 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 strengths of other Strategists. 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 final blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will enhance his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
Top-Performing Characters:
For players seeking a winning edge, focusing on high-win-rate characters is a strategic advantage. The following characters dominated 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% |
While fan favorites like Peni Parker and Mantis remain strong, characters with lower pick rates, such as Magik and Black Panther, highlight the potential for skilled players to achieve high win rates with less-frequently chosen heroes.
While this data provides valuable insight, it shouldn't dictate your character choices entirely. However, familiarity with at least one high-win-rate character can significantly improve your team's chances of success.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
