Marvel Rivals' inaugural competitive season is rapidly approaching, and the game's popularity is exploding! Even Tim Sweeney's positive comments underscore the game's appeal.
What's particularly noteworthy is the developers' commitment to player transparency. NetEase's release of hero win and pick rate data simplifies meta tracking.
This eliminates the need for players to rely on third-party data sources. Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most frequently selected hero at the highest skill 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 receives 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' continued dedication is encouraging.
