Marvel Rivals Fans Are Sleeping On the Highest Win Rate Support Hero That Has Surpassed Mantis and Loki

Even though it debuted in December 2024, NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals is easily the new hottest multiplayer title going into 2025. The incredible cast of Marvel Rivals heroes, drawing from the pool of most recognizable superheroes, rendered in a comic-inspired setting, has proven to be a smash hit.

Marvel Rivals has just kicked off its first season, which means that Season 0 has ended. The brand-new season has shaken up the game’s meta in a number of ways, and certain characters have shot to the top, wreaking havoc in matches. However, there’s one Strategist who now has one of the best win rates despite being weak at launch.

Rocket Raccoon is a force to be reckoned with in Marvel Rivals Season 1

We all know that Strategists in Marvel Rivals are the backbone of any team. During Season 0, the meta was dominated by a number of healers, such as Mantis and Loki. However, right at the bottom end was Rocket Raccoon, which players felt was too underwhelming to play with.

Back in Season 0, Rocket Raccoon had one of the worst pick rates, with 10% in Quickplay and even less than that in Competitive. However,

suggests that Rocket Raccoon now has a 25% pick rate and, most crucially, a win rate of 54% in Quick Play and 55% in the Competitive scene.

With these numbers, Rocket Raccoon is the best Strategist in Season 1 and the second-best character one can pick to play with. It seems like both hardcore and casual players rely on his abilities to keep their teams alive.

Why has Rocket Raccon gained this sudden popularity? Well, NetEase Games gave the character a significant buff in Season 1 and allowed his Repair Mode secondary fire to heal 70 per second, an increase from 60. That’s not all; his Team Up ability was buffed with a cooldown going from 45 to 40 seconds.

If you’re thinking about climbing ranks and earning all the rewards you can, it’s time to pick Rocket Raccoon and dominate your matches.

New heroes are coming to Marvel Rivals

Even though it’s been a few days since the release of Marvel Rivals‘ Season 1, gamers are already looking forward to the future of the title. NetEase has stated that Season 1 is a bit ******* than normal, and this has left players with what they will see next.

NetEase has officially confirmed that we’ll see a brand-new hero in the hero-shooter every month and a half. While the developers haven’t revealed what’s coming next, leaks give us a pretty clear idea.

According to Rivals_Leaks on X/

, the highly-requested Cyclops might be dropping into Marvel Rivals soon. This rumor comes right after a leak suggesting even Professor X might be making his way into the game as a Strategist.

With leaks surfacing left and right, it’s crucial to take these with a grain of salt, as NetEase hasn’t stated anything officially yet. What we know for sure is that The Thing and Human Torch will be dropping into Marvel Rivals in Season 1.

Marvel Rivals has also given us a look at Blade in a recent Gallery Card for Season 1. This could mean the character is coming to the game in the future, but again, there’s no word from NetEase.

With that said, have you tried playing Rocket Raccoon in Marvel Rivals? Let us know in the comments below.
