Marvel Rivals' Victor Crowned: NetEase Announces Champ

Marvel Rivals' character popularity reveals interesting trends based on official website data. In "quick play," Jeff reigned supreme, outperforming Venom and Cloak & Dagger. However, competitive play showed different favorites. On PC, Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis led the pack, while on consoles, Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis dominated.

Surprisingly, the most popular competitive character, Mantis, also suffered the most defeats. She consistently outperformed Hela, Loki, and Magic on both PC and consoles. Consoles saw a broader spread of success, with 14 additional characters boasting win rates exceeding 50%.

Conversely, unpopular characters emerged. Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine lagged in "quick play," while Nemore held that unfortunate position in competitive modes.

Marvel Rivals is currently facing controversy after receiving over 500 mods in a single month. Nexus Mods' removal of modifications replacing Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden sparked significant player backlash.

Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, addressed the situation in a private Reddit discussion. He explained that to avoid accusations of bias, both Trump and Biden-related mods were removed simultaneously. This action, he stated, ensured neutrality by eliminating both simultaneously.

Curiously, YouTube gaming channels have remained notably silent on this matter.
