Marvel Rivals Meta: Track Without 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 even more impressive is the developers' commitment to player 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 to assess hero strength. Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most frequently picked hero at the highest level of play, 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 receives 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 the developers show no signs of slowing down.
