Marvel Rivals is about to launch its first competitive season, and the game's popularity is exploding! Even Tim Sweeney has praised the game's fun factor, a significant endorsement.
What's even better is the developers' commitment to transparency. NetEase has made win and pick rate data for all heroes publicly available, making it easier than ever to track the game's meta. Players no longer need to rely on third-party trackers to understand hero strength.
Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most picked hero at the highest level of play, 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 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—roughly double that of Magik.
Marvel Rivals is clearly a leading contender in the gaming world, and the developers show no signs of slowing down their commitment to the game and its players.
