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, NetEase's commitment to player transparency is a game-changer. By publicly releasing win and pick rate data for all heroes, the game's meta is now readily accessible. This eliminates reliance on third-party trackers for assessing hero strength.
Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most frequently selected hero at the highest competitive levels, 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—approximately double that of Magik.
Marvel Rivals is clearly a leading contender in the current gaming landscape, and the developers' continued dedication is highly encouraging.
