This is an early Season 10 read, not a final verdict. Gorr is new, Scarlet Witch has been reworked, and Strategist ultimate economy changed, so the meta will keep moving through September.
S-tier watchlist: Gorr the God Butcher, Emma Frost, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hela, Captain America, Loki, Invisible Woman, Magneto and Groot. These picks either create reliable pressure, anchor fights, or retain strong utility after the balance pass.
Strong but situational: most of the roster remains playable if the map and Team-Up package fit. Marvel Rivals punishes one-tricking more than it punishes off-meta picks.
How to use this list
Pick by role first, map second, Team-Up third. A lower-tier hero that completes your composition is often better than another selfish Duelist in a broken draft.
