Marvel Rivals hero win rates and pick rates from 2,832 Competitive matches
Which heroes show up most in Competitive, and which ones actually win? We counted every hero played across 2,832 full Competitive matches recorded by Lunar between December 2025 and November 2026. That's 33,984 hero games. Here's the full table, plus why most heroes sit closer to 50% than you might expect.
How the numbers were counted
Lunar stores the full scoreboard of each match its users play, so both teams are included, not just the Lunar user. We kept Competitive matches that were six against six, with no one leaving early and no AI players, and that had a clear winner.
- Hero: the hero each player spent the most time on in that match. A player who swapped heroes counts once, for their main hero.
- Picked in: the share of team lineups that included the hero. 35% means roughly one team in three ran it.
- Win rate: how often the team with that hero won.
- At least: a cautious estimate of the true win rate, using the same Wilson lower bound Lunar uses to rank your own heroes. A hero with few games gets pulled down more, so a lucky small sample can't top the list.
No player names or IDs are used. Deadpool appears three times because the data records each of his role versions separately.
The most picked heroes
Four heroes appear in roughly a third of all Competitive lineups: Invisible Woman (35.4%), Magneto (33.7%), Doctor Strange (33.4%) and Cloak & Dagger (30.4%). Strategists make up eight of the twelve most picked heroes, which fits the team composition data: two Strategists is by far the most common setup, so there are simply more Strategist slots to fill.
Popular doesn't mean strong, though. None of those four wins more than about 51% of the time.
Why popular heroes sit near 50%
A very popular hero often ends up on both teams in the same match. When that happens, one copy wins and the other loses, which pulls the hero's overall win rate toward 50%. The more popular the hero, the stronger the pull. It's also true that popular heroes are played by everyone, from players who have mastered them to players trying them for the first time.
So a 49% win rate on a hero picked in a third of all lineups isn't a sign it's weak. It's mostly a sign that it's everywhere.
Heroes that won the most
Among heroes with at least 300 games, these had the best cautious ("at least") win rates:
- Rocket Raccoon: 55.1% over 1,088 games. It's unusual for a hero this popular to stay this far above 50%.
- Hulk: 55.6% over 680 games.
- Gorr: 56.6% over 325 games.
- Magik: 54.5% over 666 games.
- Devil Dinosaur: 54.9% over 545 games.
A few less-played heroes had higher raw win rates, such as Storm at 60.3% and Peni Parker at 57.8%. With fewer than 300 games each, they could easily be several points off, so treat them as promising rather than proven.
Heroes that won the least
- Cyclops: 42.5% over 419 games.
- Namor: 44.3% over 774 games.
- Emma Frost: 46.2% over 1,293 games.
- Cloak & Dagger: 46.8% over 1,721 games.
A low win rate doesn't make a hero unplayable. It can mean a hero is hard to play well, is often picked as a last-minute fill, or was weaker for part of the year and stronger later. These numbers average over many balance patches.

How to use this table
- Don't switch mains over a few points. The gap between a 49% and a 52% hero is small next to the gap between a hero you know well and one you don't.
- Use it to pick a second hero. If you're learning a backup for when your main is banned or taken, a hero with a solid "at least" number is a safer bet.
- Check your own numbers. Your win rate on a hero matters more than anyone's average. Lunar's hero rankings and hero pool planner do this for your own matches.
Limits of this data
These matches come from Lunar's users and the people they played with, not a random sample of every Marvel Rivals player, and they span many seasons and patches. Balance changes can move a hero's win rate a lot within a single season. These are aggregates of real matches, not official statistics from the game's developer.
