The excitement is palpable as the first competitive season of Marvel Rivals kicks off, drawing massive attention from the gaming community. Even industry titan Tim Sweeney has chimed in, praising the game for its inherent fun factor—a testament to its engaging gameplay. This buzz is significant, especially as the developers are keen on keeping players well-informed about the game's evolving meta.
NetEase has made a game-changing move by releasing detailed data on hero win and pick rates, making it easier than ever for players to stay on top of the meta without relying on third-party tools. According to the latest data, Doctor Strange emerges as the most picked hero at the top level, boasting a 34% pick rate and a commendable 51.87% win rate. Alongside him, Mantis and Luna Snow also rank among the top three most popular characters.
When it comes to win rates, Hulk, Magik, and Iron Fist lead the pack. It's worth noting that Hulk is slated for a nerf in the upcoming season, while Magik will receive a buff. The disparity in their treatment could be attributed to their pick rates, with Hulk enjoying a selection frequency that's twice that of the green tank.
Marvel Rivals is undeniably at the forefront of competitive gaming right now, and the proactive approach of its developers only adds to its allure. With continuous updates and a focus on player engagement, the game shows no signs of slowing down.
