Marvel Rivals' inaugural competitive season is rapidly approaching, generating significant excitement! The game's popularity is undeniable, even garnering praise from Tim Sweeney for its enjoyable gameplay.
Crucially, developers are prioritizing player accessibility to game data. NetEase's release of win and pick rates for all heroes provides a transparent view of the current meta, eliminating reliance on third-party trackers.
Analyzing the current 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 receives a buff. This disparity likely stems from Hulk's significantly higher pick rate—approximately double that of Magik.
Marvel Rivals is clearly a frontrunner in the current gaming landscape, and the developers' continued commitment to improvement is encouraging.
