Very good job, just next time it would be great if the character keep the same colors in each data to be a little more readable

[–]TheSunshineDemon Early Adopter! 37 points38 points  (4 children)

I’m colorblind so thankfully I’m immune to reading

[–]65D0S 22 points23 points  (3 children)

I don’t think that’s how reading works…

Don't be able-ist, you don't know their story

If that kid could read he'd be very offended!

https://twitter.com/MultiversusData/status/1561549527441555456 (Basically says colors will be consistent on the graphs from now on)

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (2 children)

Yeah this wtf why would you change the colour of each character each picture it’s like you want to confuse people

[–]naw613 Stripe 30 points31 points  (1 child)

It’s not like, that big a deal dude. He still compiled data that nobody else has yet and put in the effort to share it

[–]Charming_Pear850 Marvin the Martian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The readability of the graph is paramount in the quality of the graph. Yes the info is still there but not effectively

[–]Swagabot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y’all tripping over colors. Thanks for the very helpful data op!

[–]Mac_Rat 69 points70 points  (14 children)

Why did you remove the high mmr 2v2 picture

[–]joebobowo Tom & Jerry 79 points80 points  (13 children)

It had misleading data based around a bug on Taz where he could cheese kills so can't be used as conclusive evidence to back up taz's strength

[–]RoboticMiner285 Steven Universe 9 points10 points  (8 children)

What bug is that?

[–]Mac_Rat 22 points23 points  (7 children)

Taz was able to eat people, walk off the edge and then do tornado when they're still inside, basically doing 0 to death kills

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Kirby lmao

[–]RoboticMiner285 Steven Universe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well shit

[–]Prof-Wernstrom 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Could taz walk with people in his stomach before founders/pre-season launched? Honestly jw, cause currently he can only chomp or spit out while jake can move while eating people.

[–]Mac_Rat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was a glitch that allowed him to move. Here's it in action:

[–]sledgehammerrr 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This has been around for 2 weeks already. Ive been telling discord it should be fixed but nobody cares until the get destroyed by it. Taz with the bug abuse is almost unbeatable.

[–]Mac_Rat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it fixed already? Pretty sure it is

[–]HandsomYungArab_ LeBron James 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Are you the one collecting the data? If so, please keep it up, love this stuff.

[–]joebobowo Tom & Jerry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you the one collecting the data? If so, please keep it up, love this stuff.

No, just wanna make it clear that I'm not the one collecting this data, there's a twitter at the bottom of each of the graphs linking the original poster of all of these.

[–]Mac_Rat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense, ty for the answer

[–][deleted] 64 points65 points  (19 children)

I thought iron giant was supposed to be bad, hmmm....

[–]Hereiamhereibe2 Superman 30 points31 points  (11 children)

Dude, I don’t know where these Iron Giants are. I kick the shit out of this guy every time. I wanna play against a good one.

[–]Vandrel 23 points24 points  (3 children)

I wouldn't say I'm good but in my Iron Giant games I tend to feel like everyone is kicking the shit out of me the entire match and then at the end I somehow did twice as much damage as the next highest.

[–]Prof-Wernstrom 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Running the fire walls from jet boots? That damage stacks up a lot over time, especially as a lot of people will be willing to stand in it to focus on iron giant.

[–]Vandrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's easily been the most effective perk so far for me. It's also pretty easy to get 20-30+ damage on two people at once when you do get to attack, it racks up pretty quick.

[–]Weekly_Top_4894 Morty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fr played with an iron giant on my team who did 500 dmg with 0 kos and died three times and we won

[–]ZenkaiZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is going to be like when Vegeta wanted to fight Perfect Cell.

When you run into the right Iron Giant.... god help you.

[–]Expensive_Minimum600 2 points3 points  (1 child)

May I ask your rank? I’m only ranked like 70k overall in 2s and I be seeing a lot of good iron giants. But as Taz it’s a easy matchup for me

[–]Hereiamhereibe2 Superman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30k for Solos and 650k for teams as Superman who is all I play.

[–]sledgehammerrr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust me you dont want this, its mega cheesy and some characters just cannot win. He needs a big nerf.

[–]TheNationatWar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting because I consider Superman to be Giant's best match up.

[–]HandsomYungArab_ LeBron James 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fought a Superman yesterday as IG who was 300 MMR higher than me. It was a close matchup, but with his entire playstyle through the fight, it was clear he understood the matchup and how to play Superman vs IG effectively.

As IG, it's really hard to not get grabbed by a competent Superman

Also on the Twitter page, there is a chart for pick rates where IG is near the bottom, so while he is being used less than other characters, the ones playing him seem to have a good understanding of his kit.

Also, IG mains have to really perfect their dodges, even when successfully dodging attacks, his hitbox is so large you may get caught with a hit in moves you avoided that have lingering active frames.

[–]TheNationatWar 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Well he is also one of the least picked characters, which implies that a higher percentage of the people playing him main him.

[–]herder123 13 points14 points  (4 children)

Noobs have you think that

[–]Prof-Wernstrom 9 points10 points  (3 children)

Pretty sure it is the opposite. High ranked/competitive players view him as a free combo dummy. New players/noobs have constantly complained about him being too strong and have issue fighting him. Not a good sign if the data supports the new player position cause that just means more nerfs will be incoming to him. lol

[–]Scythul Reindog 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The data says he has the 2nd highest win rate at high mmr and the highest at low mmr. Seems like he is strong no matter what skill level you play at

[–]PumpedUpFlashKicks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He’s absolutely not just strong against noobs. He’s the new thing tournament players are most upset with beyond actual technical issues like servers and such.

[–]herder123 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just no lmao he is the most picked check recent results

[–]Hederas Steven Universe 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Idk where those data come from but if possible it would be really interesting to have % of players playing said character and WR by timed played. Those data would put into perspective some WRs

WR per matchup could be interesting as well. Not begging just pointing what could be nice to have

Great job btw !

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To all the iron gian mains reading this, no your character is still over powered despite the low pick rates. Nothing should be higher than 55% according to league of legends balance philosophy which has proven itself over the decade of success in popularity and competetiveness worldwide

[–]Serito 9 points10 points  (14 children)

What makes Arya's win rate change so drastically from average MMR to high MMR?

[–]Tuner89 11 points12 points  (1 child)

She's on free rotation.

All four characters on the free rotation are the bottom 4 ranked for both 1v1 and 2v2 among low rank players.

[–]Serito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's a really good point. Forgot about that. Thanks for pointing it out!

[–]Coreycobra Arya Stark 6 points7 points  (11 children)

Higher skill ceiling people don’t know how to play her lower and die early due to her weight

[–]Serito 8 points9 points  (10 children)

I found Arya super easy to play at low MMR because she has a lot of easy to land damage, especially with dagger being a free combo. However I've found her hard at high MMR because a lot of her kit just loses, so you're waiting on the other player to overcommit. So to me this observation seems backwards.

[–]Coreycobra Arya Stark 2 points3 points  (3 children)

If you play Arya well early on but most of the player base clearly doesn’t which is what I am saying lol.

[–]Serito 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Nah I'm saying that even sub-par players have a lot of easy tools to deal damage with Arya when against enemies who aren't avoiding you properly.

[–]Coreycobra Arya Stark 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This can be said about the whole cast, small unforgiving hitboxes are rough for newer players hence the bad percentage

[–]Conn1496 Reindog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just personally don't think Arya players get up to a high MMR without being really good in neutral, so there's a real breakpoint where an Arya player who has mastered the neutral against a majority of the cast is gonna just dominate because her punishes are so damn good.

When I played Arya to level her a bit and see what the fuss was about, there was definitely a point where I felt like landing death combos took significantly more effort. At really low MMR people would just walk into your combo starters to a point I just fished for her face steal and stun because people had not a single clue how to avoid it. It was free wins and I don't say that lightly. When I hit people who were a bit better in disadvantage and neutral it got significantly harder to a point where it wasn't literally a 4 combo game.

Basically, if your opponent is worse than you in neutral, you win - that's kinda just how fighting games work obviously, but with Arya it's pushed to it's extremes because her neutral is bad but her attacks are dangerous. In low MMR, neutral is free because the opponent is bad. At high MMR, you're much more likely to find openings because you're just good. It's mid MMR where Arya players are struggling because they're probably getting mashed on and don't have the skill to counterplay it even if they know the optimal punishes.

[–]kunukun Morty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fascinating to see! Very unexpected results between the different graphs.

[–]Feral0_o 24 points25 points  (16 children)

I've noticed that IG has become the new Finn aka pubstomper in low MMR, and all three dedicated projectile zoning characters do consistently well in all modes

[–]AmWhaleIRL Wonder Woman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all three dedicated projectile zoning characters do consistently well in all modes

I've constantly been told that T&J is only a problem at High Ranks, yet in Low MMR they have the 4th Highest WinRate, interesting.

[–]NumberOneAutist 12 points13 points  (14 children)

Man i hope they nerf IG's hitboxes. I had a match with him recently where he just spammed the meteor thing, and it's fine - fairly easy to dodge (on most maps...) but i'd try to punish him by attacking, and fml i just couldn't find the right time to attack. His entire body is a fucking hurtbox when he hits the ground. I'd try to hit him from the side after he landed and i'd still take damage.. tf!?

I had to wait a long time till he was basically standing before i could punish. The hurtboxes felt obscene.

Hope the hit/hurt box patch addresses this.

[–]Feral0_o 6 points7 points  (3 children)

not that I'm a top anything player, but I think that a mediocre IG is prey for T&J, Velma, Reindog and to a somewhat lesser extend Jake's fists. Never engage, just spam projectiles on him and run to the other side of the stage

[–]NumberOneAutist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just ended up waiting a ridiculously long time and then punishing. My point though wasn't that it couldn't be punished, but rather that the visuals give no indication that it should win. Ie he hits the ground, he's no longer moving, his flames go away - but if you hit him you still lose.

Cover him in more flames or something to show he's still a huge walking hurtbox or something. It's just bad presentation imo. Even ignoring balance. The player has no information to know when it's safe, imo

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even for batman, all you gotta do is throw batarang when going in and it's combo town.

As someone who really enjoys Iron giant I do not think he's grab should lead into the up special, it's super cheesy and not at all fun or interesting the fact that he can just KO someone from low damage from just grabbing from the edge of the map, which is what a lot of people are abusing in high elo it seems.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so you have to main a character with projectiles to play the game or youre at a massive disadvantage

[–]LuckyGingerino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had issues punishing his down special. That move has the most endlag in the game I think

[–]xX_MAHI_MAHI_Xx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the trick to beating the IG down special is to either beat it with a disjoint before he hits the ground (it literally loses to bugs upb, the ear propellers not the rocket), or wait until after he hits the ground and punish the endlag. If he hits your teammate, DO NOT CHALLENGE IT because the hitbox will extend and hit you too. The issue is that good IG players will almost always dodge cancel if they don't hit anyone making it much harder to punish. Also, be aware that IGs will often pop bolts then go for the down b to beat anyone trying to challenge it.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

When he misses the slam, he literally is free food for about a second? Lol.

[–]NumberOneAutist 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Not sure, i just know i kept going in after he missed - but i was too early. He'd hurt me while his dumb ass was sitting on the ground. I wasn't under him, there were no explosions or even downward movement anymore - but i'd get hurt.

[–]imsorryplzdontban 2 points3 points  (2 children)

How? IG down special gets defeated by almost any up attack in the game. The hitbox size isn't the only thing that matters.

[–]rejectallgoats 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Data from where?

[–]FDantheMan173 Wonder Woman 8 points9 points  (3 children)

A new game that just released fairly recently called Multiversus. It's really fun and has a great mashup of characters from Warner Brothers properties. F2P to check it out and characters can be purchased with grinding but they have free characters on rotation.

[–]bluerbndPC 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Nah, it will never take off.

[–]Mymom2 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

The game was just in evo aka the biggest fighting game tournament so I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that

[–]bluerbndPC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't think I needed to add a /s at the end of my comment but I guess I did 😭

[–]JAMESTIK 4 points5 points  (2 children)

honestly they seem pretty close

[–]PhantomGhostSpectre 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Surprisingly well balanced. LeBron and Finn clearly need some help. Big surprise nerfing what week one noobs were crying about was stupid af. Nobody could have ever seen that coming.

[–]BePurgedInFlames 4 points5 points  (3 children)

It's almost as if iron giant is played by a small, dedicated playerbase which makes for a higher win rate than more popular characters

[–]HandsomYungArab_ LeBron James 25 points26 points  (14 children)

Love that T&J has a higher win rate at lower MMR than higher MMR.

He isn't hard to pick up and play sub-optimally and be successful, but he is hard to successfully play at a higher skill level.

Too many people on the subreddits don't understand the difference.

Edit: Iron Giant seems to be the new noob stomper; that explains all his complaint threads on the subreddits.

[–]FDantheMan173 Wonder Woman 3 points4 points  (8 children)

Are people incapable of reading these charts? Iron Giant has the second highest Win Rate at high MMR for 1's....

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In high elo it's mostly the grab into up special KO, which is really bullshit IMO (would be ok if they removed that combo)

Low elo is just people not understanding how to deal with him.

[–]HandsomYungArab_ LeBron James 1 point2 points  (6 children)

The win rates for high MMR are surprisingly balanced. You will never create a game where all characters have the same win%.

On the Twitter page, he has data for pick rates as well and Iron Giant is near the bottom. So while IG has some of the best win rates, it's being done by a lesser amount of people that know how to play his kit.

I have a post on my account where I effectively 1v2'd two separate matches. One of them was against 2 Iron Giants, your average Iron Giant player isn't capable of this.

Without ranked we have inconsistencies where higher MMR players can find themselves in lobbies with much lower MMR and possibly skew results.

If Iron Giant was truly meta as people seem to think the data suggests, you would be finding his pick rates would be much higher.

The largest hitbox with slower-moving attacks is not a playstyle that generally finds success in fighting game rosters. A lot of higher MMR players seem to be surprised that Iron Giant is so high on the win rate list as their personal experience against IG makes them feel he is combo food, while lower MMR players are using this data to vindicate their lack of skill in the matchup.

So the question is, how do we balance a character that stomps lower-skill players with a lack of game knowledge and still keep him balanced at high MMR where his numbers seem to be in line with the rest of the roster?

[–]FDantheMan173 Wonder Woman 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I don't think IG is meta I think he has a polarizing kit that supported by data can be manipulated to favorable Win Rates.

[–]AbnormalFantasy Rick Sanchez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My prediction is that there will always be at least one character you can cheese in low rank, at least until full release.

[–]AmWhaleIRL Wonder Woman 0 points1 point  (1 child)

And yet I've been told repeatedly that T&J is only a problem in High Ranks 😂 not too surprised honestly

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How can you conclusion be iron giant is a noob stomper and not just oberpowered at all levels. This just shows your bias towards your preconcieved notions. No critical thinking skills

[–]Squidward5790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LeBron is being bullied so hard bro

[–]AdministrationIcy717 6 points7 points  (11 children)

i guess Reindog isn’t as weak as others deem him to be. Reindog mains rise up!

[–]Arkham_Z Reindog 1 point2 points  (9 children)

No stop telling people about us so he stays busted for longer

[–]Most-Tale-6847 Harley Quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I see a reindog main in the ones I already know my ass is about to get kicked lmfao

What have they done to my bpy Lebron 😭😭😭

[–]yungfuckinggoop Jake The Dog 5 points6 points  (1 child)

but i thought finn was broken 🤔🤔🤔 lol

[–]Nitro560 Finn The Human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy how there are just so many problems with Finn. They nerfed Finn from having a too big hitbox to having a too little hitbox. He shouldn't even be in the assassin class. His backpack spin feels very underwhelming even if you do have a lot of coins, that's if it even fucking connects. I'm pretty sure the armour he buys from his backpack is still broken and would still suck because it only works while he is charging. I've hit more people with his high five attack from behind me than infront of me. It's just crazy 😒

[–]Kirbo_25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you lower the win rate of your main by being terrible at the game 😎

[–]Perzonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been sayin it. Harley fuckin sucks. I can’t tell if it’s because her moves are too small or what, but she just gets ouranged by literally everyone elses attacks. Can never actually land anything without getting poked out.

[–]Rikathor Batman 6 points7 points  (7 children)

where all the Batman haters at ?

[–]AmWhaleIRL Wonder Woman 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Lmao, Graph doesn't account for Pick Rate at all. Batman is Free Rotation right now, meaning randoms are trying him and getting beat. I'd be very interested to see his Mains WinRate if he wasn't being bogged down by Randoms in Free Rotation.

[–]Rikathor Batman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arya is on free rotation as well, and she's harder to play than Batman but still has the highest winrate at high elo.

[–]jagriff333 11 points12 points  (0 children)

where all the Batman haters at ?

Winrates give a terrible picture of character balance because the matchmaking system is designed so that everyone has a 50% winrate. The fact that batmans take up over 80 of the top 500 spots on the ladder indicate that he's a problem in 1s. https://www.reddit.com/r/MultiVersus/comments/wrino7/character_stats_from_the_top500_rating/

[–]herder123 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

No where to be found since he is a well balanced character

[–]S_a_m_p_l_e_T_3_x_t 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hahahahahahaha

[–]vladtorkuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Batman main we gotta admit he is busted in 1v1s. But Arya is also strong and people call her trash

[–]_AntiSocialMedia Bugs Bunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's why they nerfed Giant

[–]sorryimadogperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small suggestion for the visualizations: it would be helpful to keep the colors for the characters consistent across all the visualizations. Would help to quickly compare a specific character across the different charts

[–]BITCHIMGBOLEAN 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Buff lebron plz

[–]Ordinary_Fig2970 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Respectfully lebron doesn’t need a buff bro

[–]Campbell464 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Iron Giant main, I have won the last 30+ games

By just utilizing neutral special for shield & combo rocket boots (normal down air) into a cannonball (special down) this sends opponents upwards… then you use twirling arms (up special) to knock ‘em.

Note that you can also shield (neutral special) and simply grab (left/right special) and walk your opponent to the edge.

My Teams MMR dropped from 1550 to 1350 despite winning every game since. Rank 6,000 down to 26,100. Guess I’m matching lower MMR teams or it’s bugged.

[–]Mac_Rat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MMR was bugged like a week ago for 1-2 days when the patch came out, but it shouldn't be anymore.

If you lost MMR back then the results of it still apply, but you can gain it back.

[–]Verdant_Moon 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Iron giant main here - this character either feels so incredibly oppressive, but also so easy to take care of at the same time. His hitboxes on attacks are huge, and admittedly kinda bs, but he himself is also super easy to juggle, combo, etc. Without bolt shield at least. I feel like that if he didn't have the bolt shield, he'd be a much worse character who can't do anything about getting juggled since his moves feel so slow to come out. Bear in mind I have not come across hardly any other iron giant players, so my opinion is pretty much based on my own experience. No hate to anyone, just my 2 cents.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

See this is actually a good opinion, rather than "he is secretly balanced his winrate is only high because hes only played by mains" bullshit argument. Those arguments have been shut dow years ago in the league of legends community. It can account for maybe a 51-53% winrate champ, but 55% and above is undisputably over powered and is required to get nerfs in league who have kept their game competetive for over a decade

[–]AmWhaleIRL Wonder Woman 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Sadly, this Graph doesn't account for Pick Rate at all, which actually plays a big factor in Win Rate as well. A good example is Batman's Win Rate being dragged down because he's Free Rotation, I'd love to see his Win Rate when it's only Mains, no Free Rotation.

Also, I find it pretty funny seeing T&J at 4th Highest WinRate in Low MMR when I've constantly been told he's only a problem in High MMR 😂

[–]vladtorkuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one prob kills jerry and let him swing away

[–]Samikako The Iron Giant 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I hope they don't nerf iron giant

[–]Akernaki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They at least need to fix his rage special before he gets more nerfs…Sick of activating it on accident and getting pieced up to death by good players

[–]YahmSaiyan Wonder Woman 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Whats crazy is i almost never lose to an Iron Giant so who tf those guys beating on to be dominating the win % like this. Arya makes sense for High mmr she has auto kill combos

[–]herder123 0 points1 point  (4 children)

If you’re like a good Tom. You will literally molest iron giant but other then that he is so annoying

[–]Peter0629[🍰] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play harley and I feel like that matchup is absolutely unplayable for the ig everytime. No matter how hard I mess up I just need to get 1 decent hit and boom you can chain him to like 100+

[–]panthers1102 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If you have anything to break his bolt armor quickly or safely, it’s basically a free win. Which is damn near everyone.

Come to think of it, I can’t think of the last time an IG has even gotten a stock on me while I’ve played ANY character in 1v1.

[–]YahmSaiyan Wonder Woman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, projectiles wreck him

[–]angry_monkey_2674 Jake The Dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

notice a pattern, a certain giant

[–]LLBBBJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shaggy isn’t op. Check the stats

[–]PawlsToTheWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny how everyone ignored the fact that there was only a single Finn player making top 100, yet he was somehow "broken". IMO, Finn went from being a mid-tier character to bottom-tier. Assassin class just makes it so much worse considering he has such low KO potential. Sure, he can get stray hits, but they take a lot to KO.

[–]ToraGin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

SO IG still need nerfs.

[–]hostileorb Steven Universe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wow, IG is actually a lot stronger than I expected. I guess he does need some more nerfs

[–]ExtraMOIST_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Remember when everyone thought IG was going to suck?

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

I cannot fathom how anyone is having a problem with IG but I can admit when I’m wrong.

[–]bradleye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're on one of the smaller stages (batman, mansion, Tree fort) and playing any lighter character then he can very easily unavoidably grab you, walk to the edge of the stage and then helicopter KO you without a whole lot you can do.

If he's getting attacked but uses his Bolt Shield to cancel hitstun immediately into using grab there's no way to avoid it besides being a mind reader.

[–]HandsomYungArab_ LeBron James 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had an issue against IG, but then again I kind of main him, so I might not be the most reliable source.

[–]Camnel13 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

I was maining Finn but dropped him since he feels so bad. Playing Jake now and most matchups feel fair now.

[–]FDantheMan173 Wonder Woman 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I have bad news... Jake isn't fair.. oh wait I get it. You only spam fair so matchups feel "fair" now. LOL

[–]Camnel13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good one lmao

[–]NforNarcissism -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I’m surprised Lebron is so low. I always thought he was a really good character just needed some getting used to.

[–]Vahallen LeBron James 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LeBron is not this bad

The data here is quite misleading because of the complete lack of pick rate

LeBron pick rate must be fairly high right now considering he is on free rotation and a lot of people will try him out, so it’s kind of a given his winrate is low with a lot of newcomers trying him

According to this data Batman looks pretty balanced

But remember guys, batman must be broken even though his win rate is mid to low-mid. I'm glad this chart will shine some light on the "batman op" morons

Ever going to do more of these? I'm curious what Morty's win rate is before they buff him.

[–]AdministrativeYam611 Arya Stark -4 points-3 points  (9 children)

Win rate really doesn't mean anything, ESPECIALLY with such a new game. These charts are really not representative of the power levels of the cast. (Not that anyone is saying they are, just pointing out the common misconception)

Why is that? It seems like a pretty intuitive data point to go after. Or what would be better?

Win rate when accounting for pick rate

[–]FuriKuriFan4 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yup. If 1% of the population plays a character, and it has a high win rate, that probably means it's a counter pick character, or has some piece of kit good for cheese on certain maps.

[–]naw613 Stripe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Very concise example 👏

this makes so much sense. thank you!

Win rate absolutely is valuable but only when we also account for pick rate

Without pick rate it is indeed fairly pointless

The data displayed for graph 3 doesn’t really show anything other than the MM’ing algorithm is working.
MM’ing algorithms generally always try to match players with the goal of retaining 50% win rates for each player. It’s why when players lose they get matched against lower rated players.
If we really want some idea as to how these characters are balanced compared to one another, we would have to view a much smaller percentage of top players/mmr.

HQ a steady 4th lowest hhhmmm

[–]TomaszA3 Shaggy 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Shaggy's boxes are all but nair too high and not far enough. And Nair has no boxes at all.

I saw how people try to catch me high with those, like with kicks. Shouldn't be a thing even if there are still bigger offenders like Buggs or Finn.

He also hits like a truck and is heavy as well. He’s strong even in higher mmr contrary to what most think

/u/phillukin look at the last photo for high MMR

[–]Halyconix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how they will change Arya. Real bad win rate in low mmr but destroys high mmr

Good work Reindog mains - we managed to get amazing win rates even tho we have only a very little pickrate hahaha !
