You don't need third-party trackers to know the Marvel Rivals meta

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

What's truly remarkable is the developers' commitment to transparency. NetEase's release of hero win and pick rate data makes tracking the game's meta significantly easier.

This eliminates the need for players to rely on third-party data sources. Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most frequently picked 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 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 appears to be a frontrunner in the gaming world, and the developers' dedication to ongoing improvement is encouraging.
