Marvel Rivals: Uncovering the Meta Without External Trackers

Marvel Rivals' first competitive season is on the horizon, and the game's popularity is exploding! Even Tim Sweeney's positive comments speak volumes about its fun factor.

What's particularly noteworthy 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 data sources to determine hero strength. Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most frequently picked 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 upcoming 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 frontrunner in the gaming world right now, and it's encouraging to see the developers' continued dedication to the game's development.
