Marvel Rivals: Character Win Rates Analyzed for January 2025
In Marvel Rivals, character selection is as crucial as skill. To help players optimize their team composition, we've compiled the best and worst character win rates as of January 2025.
Low-Performing Characters in Marvel Rivals
Understanding which heroes and villains dominate the meta is key to avoiding being a team liability. This data helps identify characters who consistently underperform. 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 on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting their win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, despite being healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 might further decrease his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on this list, excels at absorbing damage but often lacks the offensive power to secure victories. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will enhance his Ultimate Attack's base damage.

**Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
Mantis | 19.77% | 55.20% |

Loki | 8.19% | 53.79% |

Black Panther | 3.48% | 52.60% |
Hulk | 6.74% | 51.79% |
While familiar favorites like Peni Parker and Mantis appear, Magik and Black Panther, despite lower pick rates, highlight their potent damage capabilities.
This data shouldn't dictate team composition entirely, but it provides valuable insight into the game's strongest characters. While personal preference is important, familiarizing yourself with high-win-rate characters offers a strategic edge.
