Marvel Rivals' first competitive season is rapidly approaching, generating significant excitement! The game's popularity is undeniable, even garnering praise from Tim Sweeney for its fun factor.
Even more impressive is the developers' commitment to player transparency. NetEase has made win and pick rate data for all heroes publicly available, simplifying meta analysis.
This eliminates the need for players to rely on third-party data trackers to determine hero strength. Currently, Doctor Strange leads with a 34% pick rate and a 51.87% win rate at the highest level of play. Mantis and Luna Snow round out the top three most popular heroes.
However, Hulk, Magik, and Iron Fist boast 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 frontrunner in the gaming scene, and the developers' continued dedication is truly commendable.
