If you're diving into Marvel Rivals, you'll quickly notice that certain heroes and villains dominate the selection screen. Whether it's their strength, the thrill of playing them, or simply their popularity, these characters are the go-to picks for many players. From strategic healers to aggressive duelists, these top 10 most-picked heroes in Marvel Rivals are ranked from least to most selected. Here's why you'll keep seeing these names in your matches.

10. The Punisher

The Punisher brings a straightforward approach to Marvel Rivals—he's all about dealing damage. Equipped with a grappling hook for quick repositioning, a smoke grenade for cover, and the ability to switch between a rifle and a shotgun, he's versatile in combat. His turret mode makes him a formidable presence on the battlefield, appealing to players who enjoy a more traditional shooter experience.

9. Mantis

Mantis may not be the most eye-catching hero, but her role as a healer is crucial to winning matches. With a blend of burst and sustained healing, she keeps her team in the fight. Her ability to boost damage and use a sleep grenade to counter divers makes her a versatile and essential pick for any squad.

8. Winter Soldier

Winter Soldier is the epitome of a high-risk, high-reward duelist. His grapple arm, explosive shotgun, and chainable ultimate make him a threat on the battlefield. His "AGAIN!" voice line is a feared sound, signaling his rampage. His popularity stems from his ability to appeal to both beginners and seasoned players looking to master his high skill ceiling.

7. Magneto

Magneto's versatility as a vanguard makes him a fan favorite. Capable of shielding allies, dealing area-of-effect damage, and absorbing projectiles, he's a powerhouse on both offense and defense. His synergy with Scarlet Witch adds another layer of strategy, making him a disruptive force that's hard to kill.

6. Moon Knight

Moon Knight's high skill ceiling doesn't deter players from picking him frequently. His mobility, high damage output, and combo potential with his ankh make him a thrilling choice. As players improve with Moon Knight, they feel a sense of progression that keeps them coming back for more.

5. Luna Snow

Luna Snow combines healing with offensive capabilities, making her a favorite among support players. Her ability to ice skate across the battlefield while dealing damage and healing her team is unique. Her ultimate, granting temporary invincibility, can turn the tide of any match.

4. Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange's strategic prowess is unmatched. His ability to block ultimates, teleport, and control the battlefield with his spells makes him a top pick. His shield, which can be quickly reactivated, and his high survivability make him a dominant force in ranked matches.

3. Invisible Woman

Invisible Woman's addition post-launch naturally boosted her pick rate, but her strength and utility keep her popular. Her barriers, stealth, and supportive abilities make her a strategic asset, appealing to both casual and competitive players.

2. Cloak & Dagger

Cloak & Dagger's unique dual nature makes them a standout in Marvel Rivals. Players can switch between Cloak's stealth and crowd control and Dagger's high damage and healing, offering unmatched versatility. This flexibility makes them a highly sought-after pick.

1. Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon tops the list as the most-picked hero in Marvel Rivals. As a DPS-strategist hybrid, he offers healing, utility, and damage all in one package. His healing bubbles, ammo stations, and revive ability make him invaluable to any team, not to mention his engaging personality that adds to his appeal.
