Marvel Rivals Ban Rates: Most Banned Hero in April 2026

Out of the nearly 50 heroes available in the hero roster, some heroes pose the most threat to other players in Marvel Rivals. With the introduction of two new heroes every season, the meta hero line-up keeps changing in Marvel Rivals. If you’d like to find out about the current Marvel Rivals ban rates for heroes, read on to discover the list of most-banned Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists as of Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 right now.

Who Is the Most Banned Hero in Marvel Rivals Right Now?

Gambit is the most-banned hero right now in Marvel Rivals. The Strategist has a ban rate of 28.10%, followed by Elsa Bloodstone and Groot. Gambit has been a major threat to enemies since his debut in Marvel Rivals Season 5. That explains why players are currently banning Gambit in every competitive match in the game.

While NetEase devs only reveal official stats for hero pick rates and win rates every season, they don’t share the ban rates.

Furthermore, ban rates are only revealed once a season concludes, so the stats you see below are updated as of Season 7.5’s ongoing update in Rivals.
