Mastering Marvel Rivals: January 2025's Top and Bottom Performers
Success in Marvel Rivals hinges on both skillful gameplay and strategic character selection. Understanding which characters boast the highest and lowest win rates is crucial for maximizing your team's chances of victory. This analysis, based on January 2025 data, reveals the best and worst performing characters.

Underperforming Characters: January 2025
Win rate data in hero shooters like Marvel Rivals illuminates the meta, highlighting dominant and underperforming characters. This information helps players avoid hindering their team's performance. The following 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 characters on this list suffer from low pick rates, making high win percentages challenging. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, despite being healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further impact 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.

This list features familiar favorites like Peni Parker and Mantis. However, characters with lower pick rates, such as Magik and Black Panther, also demonstrate high win rates, highlighting their potential for impactful gameplay in skilled hands.
While this data offers valuable insights, it doesn't dictate character selection. However, familiarity with at least one top-performing character provides a significant advantage.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
