Counted over Counterwatch users' Competitive matches in the last 8 weeks. Only matches whose ban phase was recorded count, so ranks without bans and drafts the app missed never pull a rate down. Pick rate: Share of teams that play the hero, counting only matches where the hero wasn't banned. Too few: not enough matches on that hero at this rank for a win rate.

Marvel Rivals ban rate FAQ

What is the most banned hero in Marvel Rivals right now?
Black Cat, banned in 33% of Competitive matches with a ban phase, ahead of Devil Dinosaur (32%) and Black Panther (30%). Counted over 106,749 Competitive matches across all ranks in the last 8 weeks.
How is the Marvel Rivals ban rate calculated?
Share of Competitive matches with a ban phase in which the hero was banned by either team. A hero banned by both teams counts once. Only matches whose ban phase Counterwatch recorded are counted, so ranks without bans and drafts the app missed never pull a hero's rate down. The window is the last 8 weeks of Counterwatch users' Competitive matches, updated daily.
Why is there no ban rate in Bronze and Silver?
Marvel Rivals has no ban phase at those ranks, so a ban rate there would read 0% for every hero and mean nothing. Bans start part-way through Gold. When almost none of a rank's Competitive matches have a ban phase, the page says so instead of showing a number. Quick Match has no bans at any rank.
Why do the ban rates add up to more than 100%?
Both teams ban heroes in every Competitive match with a ban phase, so one match bans several heroes. A ban rate is per match, not a share of all bans, so the rates of every hero add up to the number of heroes a match bans, times 100%. The window can span two seasons, and Season 10 changed how many heroes each team bans, so that total moves with it.
Is a high ban rate the same as a strong hero?
No. Most bans at the ranks most players are in go to the hero that is annoying to play against, decided in a few seconds. Compare the ban rate with the win rate in the same row: a hero banned often with an ordinary win rate is banned for how it feels, not for how often it wins.
Is there an Overwatch ban rate?
Not yet. Overwatch has hero bans in Competitive, but the game doesn't report them to apps, so Counterwatch can't count them. The Overwatch tier list's pick rates are therefore not ban-adjusted.
