Understanding win rates helps identify meta-defining heroes and villains. No one wants to be the weak link, so choosing a high-win-rate character is a great strategy. This data can also be useful for convincing teammates to switch characters if necessary.

Lowest Win Rate Characters in Marvel Rivals (January 2025)

Squirrel Girl2.93%44.78%
Moon Knight9.53%46.35%

Scarlet Witch6.25%46.97%
Venom14.65%47.56%
Winter Soldier6.49%47.97%
Wolverine1.95%48.04%

Many characters on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting their win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. Jeff and Cloak & Dagger, despite being healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further decrease his win rate. Venom, the only tank on this list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the final blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will increase his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
