Marvel Rivals: NetEase Names Top Victorious Hero

Official website data reveals surprising character popularity in Marvel Rivals. In "quick play," Jeff reigned supreme, outpacing Venom and Cloak & Dagger. However, the competitive landscape shifted dramatically. On PC, Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis dominated, while console players favored Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis.

A curious twist emerged: Mantis, the most popular competitive character, also suffered the most defeats. She led the pack on both PC and consoles, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magic. Consoles saw a broader success, with 14 additional characters boasting win rates exceeding 50%.

Conversely, certain characters lagged in popularity. Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine struggled in "quick play," while Nemore occupied the bottom rung in competitive matches.

Marvel Rivals, recently flooded with over 500 mods in a single month, is now facing controversy. Nexus Mods removed modifications replacing Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, 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, he stated, ensured impartiality.

Remarkably, YouTube gaming channels have remained strangely silent on this matter.
