Marvel Rivals' inaugural competitive season is on the horizon, and the game's popularity is skyrocketing! Even Tim Sweeney's positive comments about the game's fun factor speak volumes.
What's truly remarkable is the developers' commitment to 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 skill 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. Interestingly, Hulk is slated for a nerf in the first season, while Magik will receive a buff. This disparity likely stems from Hulk's significantly higher pick rate—double that of Magik.
Marvel Rivals is clearly a frontrunner in the gaming world, and the developers' dedication to continuous improvement is commendable.
