Marvel Rivals Win Rates: Season 1.5 Breakdown
I’ve spent hours diving into Marvel Rivals Season 1.5 and analyzing different heroes’ performance metrics. My matches have seen everything from unstoppable Vanguard rushes to brilliant Strategist plays and electrifying Duelist takedowns. I’ve noticed a few trends that led me to compile win rate statistics across the competitive ladder. I hope to share my Marvel Rivals findings in a way that helps both newbies and pros alike understand how different characters perform in the current meta. So sit back while I share the win rate details I gathered through observation and data from multiple sources.
Marvel Rivals Season 1.5 Competitions
Marvel Rivals Season 1.5 brought new heroes, new synergy possibilities and some hero rebalances that rocked the entire competitive scene. I joined the Season 1.5 queue as soon as it dropped and watched as teams experimented with weird lineups and tried to find the perfect synergy for wins. Every role – from Vanguards to Duelists – had new combos that pushed hero potential to the limit. Heroes like Doctor Strange or Iron Man would get banned when paired with certain allies and the early meta was filled with debates about which picks would truly dominate.
I recorded data from over 70 hours of personal play plus community sourced data. Many top players contributed to these stats by sharing which heroes performed best in objective control, backline diving and team fights. The combination of my personal knowledge and their feedback gave me a clear view of who truly owned the meta. So with that said, here are the top heroes in each role based on overall Season 1.5 win rate.
Top Vanguards and Their Win Rates
I love playing on the front lines and Vanguards set the pace of the entire match. A good Vanguard keeps allies safe, soaks up damage and dives into the enemy backline whenever an opportunity arises. Several Season 1.5 stats point to certain Vanguards being stronger than others when it comes to impact and synergy. I tracked these numbers to see who really leads the charge in the competitive scene.
Here’s a table of the top 3 Vanguards, their approximate win rate and the key strengths that put them above the rest:
| Vanguard | Approx Win Rate | Key Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| Hulk | 54% | Powerful dive potential, strong CC with stun, Gamma shield for clutch plays |
| Thor | 56% | High damage off-tank, reliable mobility, synergy with Captain America & Storm |
| Penny Parker | 58% | Best defensive tank, superior anti-dive kit, game-changing zoning |

Hulk made it to the top 3 for multiple reasons. He’s the strongest dive tank in the current meta and pairs extremely well with Doctor Strange and Iron Man. He gets banned often because of his game-altering synergy that breaks standard strategies. Thor outperforms most off-tanks with a fun combination of mobility and pure damage. My matches with Thor always end with high kill counts especially when I time his lightning-laden ultimate at the perfect moment. Penny Parker leads the Vanguard pack in win rate percentage, surprising many who expect others to top the list. Her best advantage is specialized defense: she excels in shutting down dive compositions and controlling enemy flanks with well-placed zone abilities.
Leading Strategists in Marvel Rivals
Strategists shape the battlefield through healing, utility and intelligent support. They provide essential cover for frontline heroes and keep an eye on enemy backline divers. My matches revealed three top performing Strategists in the Season 1.5 meta, each with unique abilities that turned the tide of battle whenever I faced them.
I saw the following three heroes standing above the rest:
- Loki: Tricky illusions, survivability, flexible ultimate
- Mantis: High damage potential for a healer, strong crit-based recovery
- Rocket Raccoon: Fast movement, revive beacon, elusive presence
Loki messes with enemies by creating decoys and invisibility. He’s hard to kill, especially when he triggers illusions at the right moment. Loki’s ultimate is flexible: an offensive stance destroys enemies while a defensive stance gives health or momentum to teammates. Mantis plays an aggressive healing style that rewards precise aim. Her entire kit revolves around generating life orbs with constant crit shots. Rocket Raccoon’s high win rate in Season 1.5 data surprised many. His kit is all about swift repositioning and a distinct revive beacon.
Top Duelists
Duelists burst through backlines, deal burst damage and win 1v1 situations. My time with these offensive powerhouses led me to three leaders in the Duelist category. Each of these heroes topped the highest tier for win rate and outperformed the rest when it comes to pure kill potential and game impact.
Check out the table for the Duelists, their approximate win rate and key features:
| Duelist | Approx Win Rate | Key Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Fantastic | 53% | High damage soak, excellent damage redirection, decent big-mode burst |
| Magic | 55% | Superior backline diver, strong escape ability, lethal combos vs. squishy targets |
| Storm | 59% | Continuous AOE lightning damage, synergy with Thor, potent ultimate |
Mr Fantastic surprised many by making the top 3. I saw him less often in casual queues but his win rate data shows dedicated players find success with him. Magic made it to the top thanks to deadly combos that take out backline healers and squishy DPS. She dashes around the map, takes out a priority target, then vanishes before enemies can retaliate. Storm tops the Duelist list with a high win rate, deals AOE damage that punishes enemies who get too close. Her lightning field passively damages anything in range and a well timed ultimate can wipe out multiple enemies at once.
Thoughts on Marvel Rivals Win Rates
My time in Marvel Rivals Season 1.5 showed the crazy creativity and competition that this game has. It’s fun to see each hero’s win rate and how synergy changes the meta from patch to patch. Hulk, Thor and Penny Parker proves that Vanguards are the stars, Loki, Mantis and Rocket Raccoon are the Strategists, and Mr Fantastic, Magic and Storm are the Duelists.
The Season 1.5 data shows that hero popularity goes in cycles and I’m excited to see how the changes in the game will shape up. I’ll be keeping an eye out for new developments. There’s always a counter to every powerful pick and that back and forth is what keeps me on my toes. Marvel Rivals lives for that rivalry of strategies and personalities and I can’t wait to see what new strategies players come up with for the next battles.
