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, developers are prioritizing player engagement by making meta analysis significantly easier. NetEase has publicly released win and pick rate data for all heroes, eliminating the need for players to rely on third-party sources.
Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most frequently selected 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 first season, while Magik receives 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 current gaming landscape, and the developers' continued commitment to improvement is encouraging.
