Marvel Rivals' Character Popularity and Mod Controversy: A Data Dive
Official website data reveals interesting trends in Marvel Rivals character popularity. In "quick play," Jeff reigns supreme, outperforming Venom and Cloak & Dagger. However, the competitive landscape shifts dramatically. On PC, Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis dominate, while console players favor Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis.
A surprising twist emerges: Mantis, despite leading the popularity charts in competitive mode, also boasts the highest defeat rate. She consistently outperforms Hela, Loki, and Magic on both PC and consoles. Console play further showcases the balanced nature of the game, with 14 additional characters exhibiting win rates exceeding 50%.
Conversely, unpopular characters include Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine in "quick play," while Nemore occupies this position in competitive mode.
The game's recent surge in popularity, with over 500 mods submitted in a single month, has unfortunately ignited controversy. Nexus Mods' removal of modifications featuring Captain America's head replaced with Donald Trump and Joe Biden's images sparked significant user backlash.
Nexus Mods owner, TheDarkOne, addressed the situation in a private Reddit discussion, explaining the simultaneous removal of both modifications to maintain impartiality and avoid accusations of bias. The removal of both the Trump and Biden mods was a simultaneous action to ensure fairness.
Curiously, this significant event has seemingly gone unnoticed by many YouTube gaming commentators.
