This Marvel Rivals hero became unstoppable after the controversial change

Season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals has completely shaken up the competitive meta. Ultron, a new Strategist, has performed much better than the community had expected him to, while Peni Parker has had the highest win rate ever since the season was released. Many other heroes have been changed, but one in particular has surpassed all expectations.

In this article, we will dive deeper into Marvel Rivals win rates in Season 2.5. The situation has drastically changed over the past month, and some of the balance changes have turned out to be the right move.

Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 has skyrocketed Jeff’s win rate

With the release of Season 2.5, NetEase introduced a major rework for Jeff the Land Shark. The fan-favorite Strategist went through ground-breaking changes, which forced players to change their playstyle. Initially, the community believed that Jeff was nerfed to the ground. However, this Marvel Rivals rework has turned out to be the right move.

So far this season, Jeff the Land Shark holds a 46.39% win rate. While this is certainly not impressive, it actually surpasses the win rates of Invisible Woman (45.54%) and Luna Snow (45.28%), both of whom are considered amazing healers.

In addition to this, Jeff is the hero with the largest win rate increase in comparison to Season 2, as it increased by 4.35%. The only other hero with a comparable change is Peni Parker, whose win rate has jumped by 4.09%.

Jeff is still far from a top-tier character in the game. However, there is no denying that he’s now a viable pick who can keep his teammates alive while also eliminating the enemy team. With Marvel Rivals Season 3 dropping in a few weeks, we expect even more balance changes to come out. While NetEase may buff Jeff even more, he seems to have reached a balanced “sweet spot” that doesn’t require immediate adjustments.
