Marvel Rivals' inaugural competitive season is rapidly approaching, generating significant excitement! The game's popularity is undeniable, even garnering praise from industry figures like Tim Sweeney.
Crucially, NetEase's commitment to player transparency is a game-changer. By publicly releasing hero win and pick rate data, the game's meta is now readily accessible. Players no longer need to rely on external sources to assess hero strength.
Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most frequently picked 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 upcoming season, while Magik receives 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 dedication is truly commendable.
