Venom14.65%47.56%
Winter Soldier6.49%47.97%
Wolverine1.95%48.04%

Many characters on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting their win rate statistics. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique abilities of Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's win rate might further decrease in Season 2 due to an upcoming nerf to his Ultimate Attack. Venom, the only tank on this list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the finishing blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will increase his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
