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

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 even more impressive is the developers' commitment to transparency. NetEase has publicly released win and pick rate data for all heroes, making it significantly easier to track the game's meta.

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 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, the highest win rates belong to Hulk, Magik, and Iron Fist. 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 current gaming landscape, and the developers' dedication to ongoing development is truly commendable.
