NetEase named Marvel Rivals' most victorious hero

Official website data reveals surprising character popularity trends in Marvel Rivals. In "quick play," Jeff reigns supreme, outpacing 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 curious twist emerges: Mantis, the most popular competitive character, also suffers the most defeats. She leads the loss count on both PC and consoles, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magic. Remarkably, on consoles, 14 other characters boast win rates exceeding 50%.

Conversely, unpopular choices include Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine in "quick play," with Nemore taking the bottom spot in competitive modes.

Marvel Rivals, having received over 500 mods in a single month, is now facing controversy. Nexus Mods removed modifications replacing Captain America's head with Donald Trump and Joe Biden images, sparking intense user reaction.

Nexus Mods owner, TheDarkOne, explained in a private Reddit discussion that both Trump and Biden-related mods were removed simultaneously to avoid accusations of bias. This action, intended to maintain neutrality, has curiously gone largely unmentioned by YouTube commentators.
