Marvel Rivals: Character Popularity and Mod Controversy

Official game data reveals interesting character popularity trends in Marvel Rivals. 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 lead the pack.

A surprising twist emerges: Mantis, the most popular competitive character, also boasts the highest defeat rate. She maintains her top spot across both PC and console platforms, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magic. Consoles show a broader spread of success, with 14 additional characters exhibiting win rates exceeding 50%.

Conversely, unpopular characters include Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine in "quick play," while Nemore takes the bottom spot 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 removed modifications replacing Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, igniting a heated debate among players.

Nexus Mods owner, TheDarkOne, addressed the situation in a private Reddit discussion, explaining that both Trump and Biden-related mods were removed simultaneously to avoid accusations of bias. This action, however, has curiously gone largely unreported by YouTube gaming channels.
