Marvel Rivals' first competitive season is rapidly approaching, generating significant excitement! The game's popularity is undeniable, even garnering positive comments from industry figures like Tim Sweeney.
Crucially, the developers are prioritizing player transparency. NetEase's release of hero win and pick rate data makes tracking the game's meta significantly easier. This eliminates the need for players to rely on third-party data sources.
Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most frequently picked hero at the highest competitive level, boasting a 34% pick rate and a 51.87% win rate. Mantis and Luna Snow round out the top three most popular characters.
However, Hulk, Magik, and Iron Fist exhibit the highest win rates. It's interesting to note that Hulk is slated for a nerf in the upcoming season, while Magik will receive a buff. This disparity likely stems from Hulk's significantly higher pick rate—roughly double that of Magik.
Marvel Rivals appears to be a frontrunner in the current gaming landscape, and the developers' continued commitment to improvement is encouraging.
