Marvel Rivals' inaugural competitive season is on the horizon, and the game's popularity is exploding! Even Tim Sweeney's positive comments speak volumes about its enjoyable gameplay.
What's truly remarkable is the developers' commitment to player transparency. NetEase's release of win and pick rate data for all heroes makes tracking the game's meta significantly easier.
This eliminates the need for players to rely on third-party resources to gauge hero strength. 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 lead in 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 appears to be a frontrunner in the current gaming landscape, and the developers' continued dedication is encouraging.
