Based on official website data, Jeff reigned supreme in "quick play" mode, outperforming Venom and Cloak & Dagger. However, the competitive landscape shifted dramatically. On PC, Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis dominated, while on consoles, Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis led the charge.
Surprisingly, Mantis topped the popularity charts while simultaneously holding the unfortunate title of most defeated hero in competitive mode. Her dominance extended across PC and consoles, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magic. On consoles, Mantis's success was further underscored by fourteen other characters boasting win rates exceeding 50%.
Conversely, the least popular characters differed across game modes. In "quick play," Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine lagged behind, while Nemore occupied that unenviable position in competitive mode.
Marvel Rivals, after receiving over 500 mods in a single month, is now facing controversy. Nexus Mods sparked outrage by removing modifications that replaced Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, addressed the situation in a private Reddit discussion. He explained that both Trump and Biden-themed mods were removed simultaneously to avoid accusations of bias. This preemptive measure aimed to maintain neutrality.
However, this event has, for some reason, gone largely unreported by YouTube bloggers.
