What we found

Things the sampled battles say that a ranked table does not. Every one is the largest gap of its kind in the data that day — not an opinion, and not a list sorted by the obvious column.

Jessie

The secret pick

Almost nobody picks Jessie. It is winning anyway.

54.3% adjusted win rate on just 0.3% of picks — one of the strongest records on the roster, from a brawler most drafts never consider.

From 642 sampled battles.

The overnight rise
