Mastering Marvel Rivals: January 2025's Top and Bottom Performers
Success in Marvel Rivals hinges on both skillful play and strategic character selection. To help you optimize your team composition, we've compiled the best and worst performing characters based on win rates as of January 2025.
Understanding character win rates provides valuable insight into the current meta. This data helps players avoid underperforming choices and choose characters with a proven track record of success.
Low-Performing Characters: January 2025
The following characters exhibit the lowest win rates in January 2025. While many have low pick rates, impacting their win percentages, some stand out:
| 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% |
Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom deserve special attention. The first two, while healers, lack the unique capabilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's upcoming nerf to his Ultimate Attack in Season 2 may further decrease his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on this list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the finishing blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will increase his Ultimate Attack's base damage.

| Loki | 8.19% | 53.79% |
| Magik | 4.02% | 53.63% |
| Adam Warlock | 7.45% | 53.59% |
| Rocket Raccoon | 9.51% | 53.20% |

| 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, demonstrate surprising effectiveness, highlighting their potential for skilled players.
