We’re nonetheless two days out from Marvel Rivals’ first main seasonal replace, which is able to add Reed Richards and Sue Storm to the lineup, however NetEase simply launched a brand new function that is arguably of better significance to gamers: a dwelling webpage exhibiting each hero’s decide charge and win charge, divided by mode and platform.
You do not see that day-after-day. Normally, official habits knowledge like that is stored behind lock-and-key, delivered in small chunks each time a developer feels prefer it, or captured by way of imperfect third-party instruments. This “Hero Scorching Listing” webpage is straightforward, slick, and illuminating. Like, would you might have guessed that Jeff the Land Shark is the most-picked hero in all of Quickplay at 21.18%?
Everyone needs a chunk of the shark, possibly as a result of they need a shot at insta-killing the opposite staff together with his ult, however he isn’t the winningest hero by a longshot. In actual fact, he has the second-lowest win charge on the roster at 45.39%. He is fashionable, however statistically talking, you are extra more likely to lose with a Jeff in your staff.
The bottom win charge in Quickplay? Black Widow (44.15%). That is smart: The struggling sniper can be close to the underside of decide charge (2.93%) with solely Storm (1.66%) and Namor (2.76%) decrease.
The hero with the perfect win charge throughout each Quickplay and Aggressive is assist hero Mantis (56.03% for Quickplay and 55.20% in Aggressive). That tracks with my associate changing into an obsessive Mantis important these previous few weeks and quickly climbing the ranks. Hela is correct behind her with 54.24%—each Mantis and Hela are getting minor nerfs in Friday’s season 1 patch.
In case you’re severe sufficient about Rivals to care about win charges, then you definitely’re most likely wherein heroes are the most probably to supply a win.
This is the “over 50% win charge” membership (Aggressive):
- Mantis (55.20%)
- Hela (54.24%)
- Loki (53.79%)
- Magik (53.63%)
- Adam Warlock (53.59%)
- Rocket Raccoon (53.52%)
- Peni Parker (53.05%)
- Thor (52.65%)
- Black Panther (52.60%)
- Hulk (51.79%)
- Psylocke (51.68%)
- Namor (51.25%)
That is a Strategist heavy record, with the highest six dominated by healers. Not stunning when you think about therapeutic is likely one of the most vital jobs in Marvel Rivals, however it additionally speaks to how effectively Rivals helps maintain their very own in a battle. One assist notably absent from that record is Jeff the Land Shark, who additionally occurs to have the weakest offense of his position. I reckon these win charges replicate a actuality that is additionally true in different hero video games: some of the useful issues you are able to do is heal and kill on the identical time.
If I had been on the NetEase stability staff, I would be inspired by this primary dataset. The group has chosen its favorites, however decide charges are remarkably balanced for a recreation that launched with 33 unknown heroes a month in the past. You possibly can take a look at the record your self right here.
