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 skyrocketing! Even Tim Sweeney's positive comments about the game's fun factor speak volumes.

What's truly remarkable is the developers' commitment to player transparency. Understanding the game's meta is now significantly easier, thanks to NetEase's release of win and pick rate data for all heroes.

This eliminates the need for players to rely on third-party data trackers to assess hero strength. 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, 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 current gaming landscape, and the developers' continued dedication is truly encouraging.
