Win rate data in hero shooters like Marvel Rivals highlights meta-defining heroes and villains. Understanding character strengths and weaknesses prevents hindering your team. This data can also be helpful in convincing teammates to switch characters if necessary.

Here are the Marvel Rivals characters with the lowest win rates as of January 2025:

**Character** **Pick Rate****Win Rate**
Black Widow1.21%41.07%
Jeff the Land Shark13.86%44.38%
Squirrel Girl2.93%44.78%
Moon Knight9.53%46.35%
The Punisher8.68%46.48%
Cloak & Dagger20.58%46.68%
Scarlet Witch6.25%46.97%
Venom14.65%47.56%
Winter Soldier6.49%47.97%
Wolverine1.95%48.04%

Many on this list have low pick rates, impacting win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique abilities of Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further decrease his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on the list, excels at absorbing damage but often lacks finishing power. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will increase his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
