Marvel Rivals Hero Tier List· Season 9

What the win rate on this page measures

Each row is the share of tracked matches a hero's team won while that hero was played, weighted by how many matches sit behind each map they appeared on. It is a real outcome rate rather than a rating: nobody scores the hero, the matches do.

That also bounds what it can say. A win rate is a team result attributed to one player's hero pick, so a hero who is usually picked by people already winning will read higher than the hero alone deserves. Read it as "teams with this hero win this often", not "this hero wins matches for you".

Why shrinkage moves a hero's position

Raw win rates are unusable at the top of a list, because the loudest number always comes from the smallest sample. Every rate here is blended toward a neutral 50% in proportion to how little data supports it, so a hero with a handful of matches is pulled most of the way back and a hero with tens of thousands barely moves.

The visible effect is that a hero can climb without their raw rate changing at all, simply by accumulating enough matches for the number to be believed. If you are comparing this list against a site that publishes raw rates, that is where the two disagree, and it is deliberate.

What a tier list cannot tell you

It cannot tell you what to pick in a specific match. The order is an average across every composition, every map and every player at your rank, and the decisions that actually swing a match are the ones that average erases. Team-ups are the part a raw win rate hides. A hero who is ordinary alone can be worth picking for the team-up they unlock on a partner you already have, which is why the synergy and duo surfaces exist alongside this one.

Marvel Rivals runs one ranked format, so there is a single tier list rather than one per mode. What does move it is the patch cycle: NetEase ships a mid-season balance pass roughly four weeks into every season, so the order here can turn over twice inside one season number.

The practical read: use the list to decide what is worth learning, and use the hero, counter and map pages to decide what to play right now. A hero several tiers down is still the correct pick when the matchup says so.
