Official website data reveals Jeff as the most popular character in "quick play" mode, outperforming Venom and Cloak & Dagger. However, competitive PC play shows Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis leading the pack, while console players favored Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis.
Surprisingly, Mantis, the most popular competitive hero, also boasts the highest defeat rate. She dominates on both PC and consoles, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magic. Mantis's console success is further underscored by fourteen other characters achieving over 50% win rates.
Conversely, Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine were the least popular in "quick play," while Nemore holds that unfortunate title in competitive modes.
Marvel Rivals, after receiving over 500 mods in a single month, is now facing controversy. Nexus Mods' removal of modifications replacing Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden sparked considerable user backlash.
Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, addressed the situation in a private Reddit discussion. He explained that to avoid accusations of bias, both Trump and Biden-related mods were removed simultaneously. This action, he stated, ensured neutrality by removing both simultaneously.
Curiously, YouTube commentators remain conspicuously silent on this matter.
