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 on consoles, Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis take the lead.
A surprising twist emerges: Mantis, despite her popularity, is also the most frequently defeated hero in competitive mode, leading the pack on both PC and consoles, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magik. Consoles show a broader distribution of success, with 14 additional characters boasting win rates exceeding 50%.
Conversely, unpopular characters include Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine in "quick play," while Nemore occupies this position in competitive modes.
The game's recent surge in popularity, with over 500 mods submitted in a single month, has unfortunately sparked controversy. Nexus Mods' removal of modifications replacing Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden ignited a heated debate among users.
Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, addressed the situation in a private Reddit discussion, explaining the simultaneous removal of both modifications to avoid accusations of political bias. This action, however, has seemingly gone unnoticed by YouTube gaming commentators.
