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 enjoyable gameplay.

What's particularly impressive is the developers' commitment to transparency. NetEase's release of win and pick rate data for all heroes makes tracking the game's meta significantly easier.

This eliminates the need for players to rely on third-party data sources. Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most picked hero at the highest competitive 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 hold the highest win rates. Interestingly, Hulk is slated for a nerf in the upcoming 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 is clearly a frontrunner in the current gaming landscape, and the developers' continued dedication is a welcome sight.
