Underrated Marvel Rivals Duelist Achieves Surprisingly High Win Rate

Overview of Namor’s Performance in Marvel Rivals

Namor boasts an impressive win rate of 51.61% in quickplay mode, outperforming many renowned Duelists.
Although not the most powerful character, Namor’s resilience and skill set allow him to effectively counter dive-Duelists.

Recent statistics unveiled in Marvel Rivals reveal that Namor stands out with a notable win rate of 51.61%. Players can select from three distinct classes: Vanguard, Strategist, and Duelist, with the Duelist category being particularly favored. Duelists excel as the primary damage dealers in teams, showcasing significant offensive capabilities and versatility in both clutch situations and defensive maneuvers.

Among the classes, Duelists represent the majority in this popular shooter developed by NetEase, as there are 19 Duelists available compared to only eight in the Strategist and Vanguard categories. Characters like Iron Fist have gained swift recognition for their formidable powers, including healing abilities and wall-walking tactics, making them challenging adversaries. Likewise, the Punisher remains a favorite due to his straightforward gameplay and extensive weaponry, contributing to his effectiveness in battles.

However, it’s Namor’s unexpected performance that captivates attention with a 51.61% win rate in quickplay, as detailed on the official Marvel Rivals website. This statistic applies to both PC and console players. In terms of win rates, Namor finds himself behind more prominent Duelists like Hela (52.86%) and Magik (52.67%). Noteworthy is the fact that popular characters such as Moon Knight (47.52%), Iron Man (49.06%), and the Punisher (46.46%) also show lower win ratios compared to him. While Namor may not dominate the Duelist rankings, his unique tankiness, aided by the Blessing of the Deep, and his ability to summon creatures through the Aquatic Domination skill, positions him as a strategic counter to dive-focused adversaries.
