NetEase Games made significant adjustments to the balance of heroes in Marvel Rivals at the start of Season 1 in January, aiming to enhance gameplay and boost the popularity of characters like Storm and Black Widow, who were previously underplayed. These changes have had a profound impact on the game's meta.
Storm has experienced a remarkable transformation. Her win rate now tops the charts at over 56% in competitive mode, according to Rivals Meta, marking a significant leap from her earlier standings. Her pick rate has surged to 16%, a stark contrast to her previous less than 1% selection rate. This surge in popularity has seen her overtake established heroes such as Adam Warlock, Jeff, Spider-Man, Hela, Hulk, Magic, and Iron Man.
Despite Storm's rise, the duo of Cloak and Dagger remains the most popular pairing of the season, though their win percentage has dipped below 49%. On the other end of the spectrum, Black Widow continues to struggle, remaining the least sought-after and least successful character in the game.
Marvel Rivals is currently enjoying a surge in player numbers, with hundreds of thousands engaging in both casual and competitive play. The coveted Grandmaster title, held by only 0.1% of players, remains an exclusive achievement, even with the Celestial rank in play.
Reaching the Grandmaster level is no small feat, but one player has achieved something truly extraordinary. In the first season, this player reached Grandmaster without taking any damage across 108 games, playing as Rocket Raccoon. Their focus was solely on healing teammates, amassing over 2.9 million health points restored and nearly 3,500 assists, all while avoiding knockouts.
