Mastering Marvel Rivals: January 2025 Win Rate Analysis
Success in Marvel Rivals hinges on both skillful gameplay and strategic character selection. This January 2025 data reveals the heroes and villains boasting the highest and lowest win rates, offering valuable insights for optimizing your team composition.
Underperforming Characters: January 2025
Understanding which characters struggle to secure victories is crucial for team balance. The following Marvel Rivals 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 win rate statistics. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique capabilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. 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 lacks the offensive power to secure victories. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will enhance his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
