How BuffTracker Works

Methodology & Trust

BuffTracker combines multiple data sources and deterministic analysis to generate transparent, evidence-backed recommendations. No AI. No hidden magic numbers.

✓ Official balance changes tracked✓ Historical trend analysis✓ Competitive meta context✓ Transparent recommendation logic✓ Coverage-based confidence

01

Balance Changes

Official Marvel Rivals balance posts are parsed and classified as buffs, nerfs, or adjustments using deterministic keyword analysis.

02

Trend Analysis

Multi-patch history is analyzed to detect improving, declining, or stable trends across a hero's balance timeline.

03

Meta Context

Competitive tier data from public meta pages provides contextual strength signals. Patch impact remains the primary factor.

04

Recommendations

Patch impact (65%) combined with meta context (35%) produces evidence-backed competitive recommendations.

05

Data Coverage

Every recommendation includes a coverage score indicating how much data backs it. High confidence with low coverage means strong signal, limited history.

BuffTracker recommendations are derived from patch impact + meta context. External tier data is attributed to its source. BuffTracker does not claim external data as its own. All analysis is deterministic — no AI/LLM calls.
