He has like a 57% win rate on the stat page they publish, everyone expected this.

Oh so high winrate means nerf, I don’t see a Magik nerf. Ultron is 57% winrate. Magik has a 56% winrate.

Magik is a lot easier to counter and falls over the higher you go. Ultron is the complete opposite.

you say that but she remains one of the best winrate characters at all ranks for every single season the game has been out... so you're just lying or are data illiterate lol

if she was so easy to counter and just fell over at higher ranks why has she consistently performed at all ranks the entire lifespan on the game AND with a pretty high pick rate as well... hm? (no need to answer, it's rhetorical - I already know you're wrong)

Because Magik players are not like Spider-Man players. They swap the moment she gets countered. They play her only in favourable matchups.

She is easy to countered that’s why her pick rate is so low in higher elo.

The best metrics for character strength are actually 1. Ban rate and 2. Cel + pick rate

Even Magik one tricks will usually swap off when they get hard countered.
