17. Scarlet Witch

Wanda was always destined to become less impactful as players spent more time with Marvel Rivals. On the plus side, Scarlet Witch has decent damage and an explosive ultimate that can be very effective if you find interesting ways to combo it with the right abilities. In the early days, her Reality Erasure ultimate, which nuked anyone within a decent radius, was terrifying in the same way D.Va’s Self-Destruct is in Overwatch. However, it has so many more weaknesses to exploit that it has made Scarlet Witch one of the least optimal picks in Marvel Rivals right now. Wanda has to charge up the attack, move slowly through the air while exposed to get into position, and as she screams “Pure! Chaos!” she’s so vulnerable that she can be crowd-controlled or just killed before she even gets a chance to set it off. She’s just too predictable these days. Her own CC ability is decent, but ultimately there are better picks who don’t leave themselves open to wasting an ult every team fight.
