107 brawlers with enough ranked battles to rate over 7 days. Bubble size is the sample behind each one, so the least certain points are the smallest. Tap one for its numbers.

Sleeper picks

Strong, and almost nobody picks them — under 0.3% pick rate.

Overrated

Everybody picks them and the results do not justify it — over 1.1% pick rate.

Hidden gems

Far better on one map than their overall form suggests. The number is win-rate points above their own average, so general strength is already taken out.

Trap picks

Fine overall, but losing win-rate points on a map that is in rotation right now.

Nothing clears the bar this week, which means the meta is being played roughly the way it measures.

How this is decided

Every brawler here has at least 300 decided ranked battles. These lists are selected extremes, and picking a maximum out of many small samples produces extremes by accident rather than by merit — the floor is what stops that.

“Low pick rate” and “strong” are percentiles of the live roster, not fixed numbers, so the question stays the same while the answers move. Today they resolve to under 0.3% picked and a rating of 5.3 or better.

Map gems and traps compare a brawler’s score on one map against its own overall form, so the list is not a second copy of the tier list. Only maps currently in rotation are included.
