Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 heroes by tier and role

Best heroes right now

Gorr the God Butcher, Rocket Raccoon, Magik, Devil Dinosaur are S+ because RankedBoost and CounterWatch both put them in S and KeenGamer has them at A or higher. Gorr still wins a lot of games even after his October nerf, and Peni Parker and Ultron have the highest win rates in competitive play.

What changed in the October 9 patch

Nerfs: Gorr the God Butcher (less scythe and shockwave damage, shorter ultimate), Scarlet Witch (less damage per shot), Devil Dinosaur (lower base health).
Buffs: Phoenix, Jubilee, Iron Man, Cyclops and Hawkeye got direct damage or healing buffs. Gambit charges his cards faster.
Team-Up changes: Hulk and Wolverine, The Thing and Invisible Woman, Magneto and Emma Frost, and Adam Warlock and Ultron all got stronger Team-Ups.

How we ranked

We used three current sources: the RankedBoost grades from October 24, the CounterWatch competitive tier list (win rates updated November 2) and KeenGamer’s Season 10.5 list from October 12. Each tier was turned into a score, and each hero got the middle (median) score of the three. Heroes that are S on both RankedBoost and CounterWatch, and at least A on KeenGamer, are S+. When the sources disagree a lot, the hero’s details say so.

Tiers are for ranked play. In Quick Match almost every hero can win, so pick heroes you enjoy and learn their Team-Ups.
