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.

Jacky

The secret pick

Almost nobody picks Jacky. It is winning anyway.

53.6% adjusted win rate on just 0.1% of picks — one of the strongest records on the roster, from a brawler most drafts never consider.

From 3,422 sampled battles.
