Marvel Unveils Epic Metaverse Rival Sans Third-Party Tracking

Marvel Rivals' first competitive season is imminent, and the game's popularity is exploding! Even Tim Sweeney's positive comments speak volumes about its enjoyable gameplay.

Crucially, the developers are prioritizing player transparency. NetEase's release of hero win and pick rate data makes meta tracking significantly easier. Players no longer need to depend on third-party resources to assess hero strength.

Currently, the data reveals Doctor Strange as the most 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 upcoming 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 landscape, and the developers' commitment to ongoing development is encouraging.
