Marvel Rivals: Best & Worst Character Win Rates (January 2025)

In Marvel Rivals, character selection is just as crucial as skill. To help players, here's a breakdown of the best and worst performing characters in January 2025, based on win rates.

Underperforming Characters in Marvel Rivals

Win rate data reveals which heroes and villains are dominating the meta. Understanding which characters struggle can prevent players from hindering their team's success. This data also helps counter those who refuse to switch characters. The following Marvel Rivals characters had the lowest win rates in January 2025:

Many on this list have low pick rates, impacting win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two are healers lacking the unique abilities 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 this list, excels at absorbing damage but often lacks finishing power. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will enhance his Ultimate Attack's base damage.

Top-Performing Characters in Marvel Rivals

Choosing a main character? Consider these top performers:

Familiar faces like Peni Parker and Mantis dominate, but Magik and Black Panther, despite lower pick rates, are formidable damage dealers.

While this data shouldn't restrict your character choices, it highlights the most challenging opponents. Even if you prefer a lower-win-rate character, familiarity with at least one top performer is beneficial.

Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
