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.

55.4% adjusted win rate on just 0.4% of picks — one of the strongest records on the roster, from a brawler most drafts never consider.

From 573 sampled battles.

The overnight rise

Charlie moved more than anything else since yesterday.

Meta score 1.9 to 4.0 in a single day, on enough battles for the move to be real rather than noise.
