DEXERTOOfficial hero pick rate data for Marvel Rivals is available, allowing us to see the most popular and most picked characters that players keep turning to.
Although Marvel Rivals features a stacked roster of heroes and villains, some have proven more popular than others since launch.
You’ll often notice specific characters appearing in matches over and over again, and now – with Season 3 – the devs have shared the official data to reveal the most picked heroes.
Marvel Rivals Quickplay pick rates
PC
CHARACTER | TYPE | PICK RATE |
|---|---|---|
Vanguard | 18.28% |
Console
CHARACTER | TYPE | PICK RATE |
|---|---|---|
Strategist | 18.36% |
Quickplay pick rates take into account both PC and console separately. It’s no surprise to see Emma Frost, Cloak & Dagger, and Jeff the Land Shark take the top spots in PC, as they’ve been the go-to characters in Marvel Rivals since their debuts.
Meanwhile, the likes of Storm and Black Widow (who were notoriously underpowered) remain at the bottom end of both lists, along with Wolverine and Hawkeye. We’ll just have to wait and see how the meta evolves during the upcoming seasons and whether they can climb back up.
Marvel Rival Competitive pick rates
PC
CHARACTER | TYPE | PICK RATE |
|---|---|---|
Strategist | 27.12% |
Console
CHARACTER | TYPE | PICK RATE |
|---|---|---|
Strategist | 27.79% |
The Marvel Rivals Competitive pick rates are broken up by platform, giving us insight into who is dominating Ranked lobbies on both console and PC. At the time of writing, Cloak & Dagger is still the most-picked hero across both PC and console.
However, where Cloak & Dagger thrive, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Storm do the opposite. They can regularly be found sitting at the bottom of all the rankings, regardless of quickplay or competitive.
Most and least popular characters in Marvel Rivals
Cloak & Dagger, Emma Frost, Jeff the Land Shark, Magneto, and Invisible Woman are easily the most popular characters in Marvel Rivals, as they have the highest overall pick rate across both modes and platforms.
