"Surprising Stats Reveal Marvel Rivals' Top Hero"

To enhance the gameplay experience and boost the popularity of characters like Storm and Black Widow, who were previously underutilized, NetEase Games made significant balance adjustments to the heroes of Marvel Rivals in January, as Season 1 commenced.

Following these updates, Storm has seen substantial improvements, leading to a dramatic increase in her popularity and effectiveness. According to Rivals Meta, Storm now holds the top spot in win rate, marking a significant leap from her previous standing on the hero selection list. In competitive mode, her win percentage has soared above 56%, and her pick rate has climbed to 16%. This is a stark contrast to her earlier days when she barely registered a 1% pick rate. Now, she's surpassing heroes like Adam Warlock, Jeff, Spider-Man, Hela, Hulk, Magic, Iron Man, and many others.

Despite Storm's rise, the most popular character pairing of the first season remains Cloak and Dagger. However, their win percentage has dipped below 49%. On the other end of the spectrum, Black Widow continues to be the least sought-after and least successful character in the game.

With hundreds of thousands of players engaging with the game, including its competitive mode, Marvel Rivals is currently experiencing growth. Achieving the Grandmaster title is an exclusive feat, attained by only 0.1% of all players, despite the existence of the Celestial rank.

Reaching such heights is no small feat, but one player has achieved something truly remarkable. In the first season, this player reached Grandmaster without taking any damage across 108 games! Playing as Rocket Raccoon, this player focused solely on healing teammates, restoring over 2.9 million health points in those matches. Additionally, they recorded nearly 3,500 assists while avoiding knockouts.
