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.

Tara

The secret pick

Almost nobody picks Tara. It is winning anyway.

53.6% 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 672 sampled battles.

Griff

Picked in 4.1% of sampled battles and returning 46.8% adjusted — below the average of the very players picking it.

From 185 sampled battles.

Alli

The overnight rise

Alli moved more than anything else since yesterday.

Meta score 3.0 to 3.7 in a single day, on enough battles for the move to be real rather than noise.
